willitmerge describes itself as a command line tool to check if pull requests are mergeable. There is a Command Injection vulnerability in version `willitmerge@0.2.1`. Resources: * Project's GitHub source code: https://github.com/shama/willitmerge/ * Project's npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/willitmerge ## Background on exploitation Reporting a Command Injection vulnerability in `willitmerge` npm package. A security vulnerability manifests in this package due to the use of insecure child process execution API (`exec`) to which it concateanes user input, whether provided to the command-line flag, or is in user control in the target repository. ## Exploit ### POC 1 1. Install `willitmerge` 2. Run it with the following command ```sh willitmerge --verbose --remote "https://github.com/lirantal/npq.git; touch /tmp/hel" ``` 3. Confirm the file `/tmp/hel` is created on disk ### GitHub-sourced attack vector [Lines 189-197](https://github.com/shama/willitmerge/blob/2fe9...

### Summary An Uncontrolled Recursion (CWE-674) vulnerability in node-forge versions 1.3.1 and below enables remote, unauthenticated attackers to craft deep ASN.1 structures that trigger unbounded recursive parsing. This leads to a Denial-of-Service (DoS) via stack exhaustion when parsing untrusted DER inputs. ### Details An ASN.1 Denial of Service (Dos) vulnerability exists in the node-forge `asn1.fromDer` function within `forge/lib/asn1.js`. The ASN.1 DER parser implementation (`_fromDer`) recurses for every constructed ASN.1 value (SEQUENCE, SET, etc.) and lacks a guard limiting recursion depth. An attacker can craft a small DER blob containing a very large nesting depth of constructed TLVs which causes the Node.js V8 engine to exhaust its call stack and throw `RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded`, crashing or incapacitating the process handling the parse. This is a remote, low-cost Denial-of-Service against applications that parse untrusted ASN.1 objects. ### Impact T...

### Summary **MITRE-Formatted CVE Description** An Integer Overflow (CWE-190) vulnerability in node-forge versions 1.3.1 and below enables remote, unauthenticated attackers to craft ASN.1 structures containing OIDs with oversized arcs. These arcs may be decoded as smaller, trusted OIDs due to 32-bit bitwise truncation, enabling the bypass of downstream OID-based security decisions. ### Description An ASN.1 OID Integer Truncation vulnerability exists in the node-forge `asn1.derToOid` function within `forge/lib/asn1.js`. OID components are decoded using JavaScript's bitwise left-shift operator (`<<`), which forcibly casts values to 32-bit signed integers. Consequently, if an attacker provides a mathematically unique, very large OID arc integer exceeding $2^{31}-1$, the value silently overflows and wraps around rather than throwing an error. ### Impact This vulnerability allows a specially crafted ASN.1 object to spoof an OID, where a malicious certificate with a massive, invalid OI...

### Summary CVE-2025-12816 has been reserved by CERT/CC **Description** An Interpretation Conflict (CWE-436) vulnerability in node-forge versions 1.3.1 and below enables remote, unauthenticated attackers to craft ASN.1 structures to desynchronize schema validations, yielding a semantic divergence that may bypass downstream cryptographic verifications and security decisions. ### Details A critical ASN.1 validation bypass vulnerability exists in the node-forge asn1.validate function within `forge/lib/asn1.js`. ASN.1 is a schema language that defines data structures, like the typed record schemas used in X.509, PKCS#7, PKCS#12, etc. DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules), a strict binary encoding of ASN.1, is what cryptographic code expects when verifying signatures, and the exact bytes and structure must match the schema used to compute and verify the signature. After deserializing DER, Forge uses static ASN.1 validation schemas to locate the signed data or public key, compute digests o...

The mistral-dashboard plugin for openstack has a local file inclusion vulnerability through the 'Create Workbook' feature that may result in disclosure of arbitrary local files content.

# Summary Developers working with Ray as a development tool can be exploited via a critical RCE vulnerability exploitable via Firefox and Safari. Due to the longstanding [decision](https://docs.ray.io/en/releases-2.51.1/ray-security/index.html) by the Ray Development team to not implement any sort of authentication on critical endpoints, like the `/api/jobs` & `/api/job_agent/jobs/` has once again led to a severe vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code against Ray. This time in a development context via the browsers Firefox and Safari. This vulnerability is due to an insufficient guard against browser-based attacks, as the current defense uses the `User-Agent` header starting with the string "Mozilla" as a defense mechanism. This defense is insufficient as the fetch specification allows the `User-Agent` header to be modified. Combined with a DNS rebinding attack against the browser, and this vulnerability is exploitable against a developer running Ray who ina...

### Summary The `EMOJI_REGEX` used in the `emoji` action is vulnerable to a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attack. A short, maliciously crafted string (e.g., <100 characters) can cause the regex engine to consume excessive CPU time (minutes), leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) for the application. ### Details The ReDoS vulnerability stems from "catastrophic backtracking" in the `EMOJI_REGEX`. This is caused by ambiguity in the regex pattern due to overlapping character classes. Specifically, the class `\p{Emoji_Presentation}` overlaps with more specific classes used in the same alternation, such as `[\u{1F1E6}-\u{1F1FF}]` (regional indicator symbols used for flags) and `\p{Emoji_Modifier_Base}`. When the regex engine attempts to match a string that almost matches but ultimately fails (like the one in the PoC), this ambiguity forces it to explore an exponential number of possible paths. The matching time increases exponentially with the length of the crafted input, ...

### Summary A low-permission user can create new accounts through a direct API request instead of being restricted to the intended interface. ### PoC A low-permission user sends a crafted API request to the user-creation endpoint and the system creates the account successfully.  ### Impact This allows attackers to create unauthorized accounts.

The second wave of the Shai-Hulud supply chain attack has spilled over to the Maven ecosystem after compromising more than 830 packages in the npm registry. The Socket Research Team said it identified a Maven Central package named org.mvnpm:posthog-node:4.18.1 that embeds the same two components associated with Sha1-Hulud: the "setup_bun.js" loader and the main payload "bun_environment.js."
