GHSA-8mf9-rmgw-33qc: Hugging Face Smolagents XPath injection vulnerability in the search_item_ctrl_f function

Hugging Face Smolagents version 1.20.0 contains an XPath injection vulnerability in the search_item_ctrl_f function located in src/smolagents/vision_web_browser.py. The function constructs an XPath query by directly concatenating user-supplied input into the XPath expression without proper sanitization or escaping. This allows an attacker to inject malicious XPath syntax that can alter the intended query logic. The vulnerability enables attackers to bypass search filters, access unintended DOM elements, and disrupt web automation workflows. This can lead to information disclosure, manipulation of AI agent interactions, and compromise the reliability of automated web tasks. The issue is fixed in version 1.22.0.

GHSA-m732-5p4w-x69g: Hono Improper Authorization vulnerability

### Improper Authorization in Hono (JWT Audience Validation) Hono’s JWT authentication middleware did not validate the `aud` (Audience) claim by default. As a result, applications using the middleware without an explicit audience check could accept tokens intended for other audiences, leading to potential cross-service access (token mix-up). The issue is addressed by adding a new `verification.aud` configuration option to allow RFC 7519–compliant audience validation. This change is classified as a **security hardening improvement**, but the lack of validation can still be considered a vulnerability in deployments that rely on default JWT verification. ### Recommended secure configuration You can enable RFC 7519–compliant audience validation using the new `verification.aud` option: ```ts import { Hono } from 'hono' import { jwt } from 'hono/jwt' const app = new Hono() app.use( '/api/*', jwt({ secret: 'my-secret', verification: { // Require this API to only accep...
