GHSA-6jrf-rcjf-245r: changedetection.io path traversal using file URI scheme without supplying hostname

### Summary The validation for the file URI scheme falls short, and results in an attacker being able to read any file on the system. This issue only affects instances with a webdriver enabled, and `ALLOW_FILE_URI` false or not defined. ### Details The check used for URL protocol, `is_safe_url`, allows `file:` as a URL scheme: https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io/blob/e0abf0b50507a8a3d0c1d8522ab23519b3e4cdf4/changedetectionio/model/Watch.py#L11-L13 It later checks if local files are permitted, but one of the preconditions for the check is that the URL starts with `file://`. The issue comes with the fact that the file URI scheme is not required to have double slashes. > A valid file URI must therefore begin with either `file:/path` (no hostname), `file:///path` (empty hostname), or `file://hostname/path`. > — [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme#Number_of_slash_characters) https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io/blob/e0abf0b50507a8a3d0c1d8522...

GHSA-7mr7-4f54-vcx5: HTTP Client uses incorrect token after refresh

### Impact HTTP Clients created by `AddUserAccessTokenHttpClient` may use a different user's access token after a token refresh. This occurs because a refreshed token will be captured in pooled `HttpClient` instances, which may be used by a different user. ### Workarounds Instead of using `AddUserAccessTokenHttpClient` to create an `HttpClient` that automatically adds a managed token to outgoing requests, you can use the `HttpConext.GetUserAccessTokenAsync` extension method or the `IUserTokenManagementService.GetAccessTokenAsync` method. ### Patches This issue is fixed in Duende.AccessTokenManagement.OpenIdConnect 3.0.1.

GHSA-hfq9-hggm-c56q: XStream is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack due to stack overflow from a manipulated binary input stream

### Impact The vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to terminate the application with a stack overflow error resulting in a denial of service only by manipulating the processed input stream when XStream is configured to use the BinaryStreamDriver. ### Patches XStream 1.4.21 detects the manipulation in the binary input stream causing the the stack overflow and raises an InputManipulationException instead. ### Workarounds The only solution is to catch the StackOverflowError in the client code calling XStream if XStream is configured to use the BinaryStreamDriver. ### References See full information about the nature of the vulnerability and the steps to reproduce it in XStream's documentation for [CVE-2024-47072](https://x-stream.github.io/CVE-2024-47072.html). ### Credits Alexis Challande of Trail Of Bits found and reported the issue to XStream and provided the required information to reproduce it.
