GHSA-j4fw-4mhr-hc45: Liferay Portal Vulnerable to Denial of Service in Kaleo Forms Admin

Kaleo Forms Admin in Liferay Portal 7.0.0 through 7.4.3.4, and Liferay DXP 7.4 GA, 7.3 GA through update 27, and older unsupported versions does not restrict the saving of request parameters in the portlet session, which allows remote attackers to consume system memory leading to denial-of-service (DoS) conditions via crafted HTTP request.

GHSA-pc6w-59fv-rh23: Langchain Community Vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) Attacks

The langchain-ai/langchain project, specifically the EverNoteLoader component, is vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) attacks due to insecure XML parsing. The vulnerability arises from the use of etree.iterparse() without disabling external entity references, which can lead to sensitive information disclosure. An attacker could exploit this by crafting a malicious XML payload that references local files, potentially exposing sensitive data such as /etc/passwd. This issue has been fixed in 0.3.27 of langchain-community.
