GHSA-22wq-q86m-83fh: svg-sanitizer Bypasses Attribute Sanitization

#### Problem The sanitization logic at https://github.com/darylldoyle/svg-sanitizer/blob/0.21.0/src/Sanitizer.php#L454-L481 only searches for lower-case attribute names (e.g. `xlink:href` instead of `xlink:HrEf`), which allows to by-pass the `isHrefSafeValue` check. As a result this allows cross-site scripting or linking to external domains. #### Proof-of-concept _provided by azizk_ ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="100" height="100"> <a xlink:hReF="javascript:alert(document.domain)"> <rect width="100" height="50" fill="red"></rect> <text x="50" y="30" text-anchor="middle" fill="white">Click me</text> </a> </svg> ``` #### Credits The mentioned findings and proof-of-concept example were reported to the TYPO3 Security Team by the external security researcher `azizk <medazizknani@gmail.com>`.

GHSA-c9rc-mg46-23w3: Keras vulnerable to CVE-2025-1550 bypass via reuse of internal functionality

### Summary It is possible to bypass the mitigation introduced in response to [CVE-2025-1550](https://github.com/keras-team/keras/security/advisories/GHSA-48g7-3x6r-xfhp), when an untrusted Keras v3 model is loaded, even when “safe_mode” is enabled, by crafting malicious arguments to built-in Keras modules. The vulnerability is exploitable on the default configuration and does not depend on user input (just requires an untrusted model to be loaded). ### Impact | Type | Vector |Impact| | -------- | ------- | ------- | |Unsafe deserialization |Client-Side (when loading untrusted model)|Arbitrary file overwrite. Can lead to Arbitrary code execution in many cases.| ### Details Keras’ [safe_mode](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/models/load_model) flag is designed to disallow unsafe lambda deserialization - specifically by rejecting any arbitrary embedded Python code, marked by the “__lambda__” class name. https://github.com/keras-team/keras/blob/v3.8.0/keras/sr...
