### Summary A logged-in user with any role can delete arbitrary files on the filesystem by calling the `sync/clean_sync_dir` endpoint. The `dir_name` POST parameter is not validated/sanitized and is used to construct the `syncDir` that is deleted by calling `fs.rm`. ### Details - file: https://github.com/saltcorn/saltcorn/blob/v1.0.0-beta.15/packages/server/routes/sync.js#L337-L346 ```js router.post( "/clean_sync_dir", error_catcher(async (req, res) => { const { dir_name } = req.body; // [1] source try { const rootFolder = await File.rootFolder(); const syncDir = path.join( rootFolder.location, "mobile_app", "sync", dir_name // [2] ); await fs.rm(syncDir, { recursive: true, force: true }); // [3] sink res.status(200).send(""); } catch (error) { getState().log(2, `POST /sync/clean_sync_dir: '${error.message}'`); res.status(400).json({ error: error.message || error }); } }) ); ``` ### Po...

# Summary If values passed to a paragraph widget are not valid and contain a specific set of characters, applications are vulnerable to XSS attack against a user who opens a page on which a paragraph widget is rendered. Versions of dynamic dashboard from v3.0.0 through v3.0.2 are affected. Please upgrade to dynamic dashboard [v3.0.2](https://github.com/lara-zeus/dynamic-dashboard/releases/tag/v3.0.2). # PoC >PoC will be published in a few weeks, once developers have had a chance to upgrade their apps. # Response This vulnerability (in paragraph widget only) was reported by **Raghav Sharma**, who reported the issue and patched the issue during the morning of 05/10/2024.

### Summary One of the sample scripts in PhpSpreadsheet is susceptible to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to improper handling of input where a number is expected leading to formula injection. ### Details The following [code](https://github.com/PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet/blob/d50b8b5de7e30439fb57eae7df9ea90e79fa0f2d/samples/Basic/45_Quadratic_equation_solver.php#L56) in `45_Quadratic_equation_solver.php` concatenates the user supplied parameters directly into spreadsheet formulas. This allows an attacker to take control over the formula and output unsanitized data into the page, resulting in JavaScript execution. ``` $discriminantFormula = '=POWER(' . $_POST['B'] . ',2) - (4 * ' . $_POST['A'] . ' * ' . $_POST['C'] . ')'; $discriminant = Calculation::getInstance()->calculateFormula($discriminantFormula); $r1Formula = '=IMDIV(IMSUM(-' . $_POST['B'] . ',IMSQRT(' . $discriminant . ')),2 * ' . $_POST['A'] . ')'; $r2Formula = '=IF(' . $discriminant . '=0,"Only one root",IMDIV...

GenGravSSTIExploit is a proof of concept Python script that exploits an authenticated server-side template injection (SSTI) vulnerability in Grav CMS versions 1.7.44 and below. This vulnerability allows a user with editor permissions to execute OS commands on a remote server.

This script exploits the issue noted in CVE-2024-45409 that allows an unauthenticated attacker with access to any signed SAML document issued by the IDP to forge a SAML Response/Assertion and gain access as any user on GitLab. Ruby-SAML versions below or equal to 12.2 and versions 1.13.0 through 1.16.0 do not properly verify the signature of the SAML Response.

This is a thorough write up of how to exploit a local privilege escalation vulnerability in iTunes for Windows version 12.13.2.3. Apple fixed this in version 12.13.3.

ABB Cylon Aspect versions 3.08.00 and below suffer from an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands through the SYSLOG HTTP POST parameter called by the syslogSwitch.php script.

ABB Cylon Aspect versions 3.08.01 and below suffer from an unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerability. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands through the Footer HTTP POST parameter called by the caldavUtil.php script.
