GHSA-9g4j-v8w5-7x42: Authentik has insufficient check for account active status when authenticating with OAuth/SAML Sources

### Summary Deactivated users that had either enrolled via OAuth/SAML or had their account connected to an OAuth/SAML account can still partially access authentik even if their account is deactivated. They end up in a half-authenticated state where they cannot access the API but crucially they can authorize applications if they know the URL of the application. ### Patches authentik 2025.4.4 and 2025.6.4 fix this issue. ### Workarounds Adding an expression policy to the user login stage on the respective authentication flow with the expression of ```py return request.context["pending_user"].is_active ``` This expression will only activate the user login stage when the user is active. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: - Email us at [security@goauthentik.io](mailto:security@goauthentik.io).

GHSA-r5p3-955p-5ggq: Kyverno's Improper JMESPath Variable Evaluation Lead to Denial of Service

### Summary A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in Kyverno due to improper handling of JMESPath variable substitutions. Attackers with permissions to create or update Kyverno policies can craft expressions using the `{{@}}` variable combined with a pipe and an invalid JMESPath function (e.g., `{{@ | non_existent_function }}`). This leads to a `nil` value being substituted into the policy structure. Subsequent processing by internal functions, specifically `getValueAsStringMap`, which expect string values, results in a panic due to a type assertion failure (`interface {} is nil, not string`). This crashes Kyverno worker threads in the admission controller (and can lead to full admission controller unavailability in Enforce mode) and causes continuous crashes of the reports controller pod, leading to service degradation or unavailability." ### Details The vulnerability lies in the `getValueAsStringMap` function within `pkg/engine/wildcards/wildcards.go` (specifically around ...
