GHSA-7753-xrfw-ch36: LlamaIndex affected by a Denial of Service (DOS) in JSONReader

A denial of service vulnerability exists in the JSONReader component of the run-llama/llama_index repository, specifically in version v0.12.37. The vulnerability is caused by uncontrolled recursion when parsing deeply nested JSON files, which can lead to Python hitting its maximum recursion depth limit. This results in high resource consumption and potential crashes of the Python process. The issue is resolved in version 0.12.38.

GHSA-pw25-c82r-75mm: request-filtering-agent SSRF Bypass via HTTPS Requests to 127.0.0.1

request-filtering-agent versions 1.x.x and earlier contain a vulnerability where HTTPS requests to 127.0.0.1 bypass IP address filtering, while HTTP requests are correctly blocked. **Impact:** Vulnerable patterns (requests that should be blocked but are allowed): - https://127.0.0.1:443/api - https://127.0.0.1:8443/admin - Any HTTPS request using direct IP address `https://127.0.0.1` This vulnerability primarily affects services using self-signed certificates on `127.0.0.1`. **Not affected (correctly blocked in all versions):** - http://127.0.0.1:80/api - HTTP requests are properly blocked - https://localhost:443/api - Domain-based requests trigger DNS lookup and are blocked - http://localhost:80/api - Domain-based HTTP requests are blocked - Requests to other private IPs like 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x This allows attackers to potentially access internal HTTPS services running on localhost, bypassing the library's SSRF protection. The vulnerability is particularly dangerou...

GHSA-63cx-g855-hvv4: mitmproxy binaries embed a vulnerable python-hyper/h2 dependency

mitmproxy 12.1.1 and below embed python-hyper/h2 ≤ v4.2.0, which has a gap in its HTTP/2 header validation. This enables request smuggling attacks when mitmproxy is in a configuration where it translates HTTP/2 to HTTP/1. For example, this affects reverse proxies to `http://` backends. It does not affect mitmproxy's regular mode. All users are encouraged to upgrade to mitmproxy 12.1.2, which includes a fixed version of h2. More details about the vulnerability itself can be found at https://github.com/python-hyper/h2/security/advisories/GHSA-847f-9342-265h.
