Reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Liferay Portal 7.4.3.110 through 7.4.3.128, and Liferay DXP 2024.Q3.1 through 2024.Q3.8, 2024.Q2.0 through 2024.Q2.13 and 2024.Q1.1 through 2024.Q1.12 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the URL in search bar portlet

Microsoft Corp. today issued security updates to fix more than 80 vulnerabilities in its Windows operating systems and software. There are no known "zero-day" or actively exploited vulnerabilities in this month's bundle from Redmond, which nevertheless includes patches for 13 flaws that earned Microsoft's most-dire "critical" label. Meanwhile, both Apple and Google recently released updates to fix zero-day bugs in their devices.

### Impact TinyEnv did not properly strip inline comments inside .env values. This could lead to unexpected behavior or misconfiguration, where variables contain unintended characters (including # or comment text). Applications depending on strict environment values may expose logic errors, insecure defaults, or failed authentication. ### Patches Fixed in v1.0.11. Users should upgrade to the latest patched version. ### Workarounds As a temporary workaround, avoid using inline comments in .env files, or sanitize loaded values manually.

After 25 years at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Cindy Cohn is stepping down as executive director. In a WIRED interview, she reflects on encryption, AI, and why she’s not ready to quit the battle.

### Summary In Maho 25.7.0, an authenticated staff user with access to the `Dashboard` and `Catalog\Manage Products` permissions can create a custom option on a listing with a file input field. By allowing file uploads with a `.php` extension, the user can use the filed to upload malicious PHP files, gaining remote code execution ### Details An user with the `Dashboard` and `Catalog\Manage Products` permissions can abuse the product custom options feature to bypass the application’s file upload restrictions. When creating a product custom option of type file upload, the user is allowed to define their own extension whitelist. This bypasses the application’s normal enforced whitelist and permits disallowed extensions, including `.php`. The file uploaded by the custom option is then written to a predictable location: ``` /public/media/custom_options/<first char of filename>/<second char of filename>/<md5 of file contents>.php ``` Because this path is directly accessible under the app...

### Overview A security review of the Cattown identified multiple weaknesses that could potentially impact its stability and security. ### Affected Versions - All versions below 1.0.2 ### Description of Vulnerabilities 1. CWE-1333: Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity The package used regular expressions with inefficient, potentially exponential worst-case complexity. This can cause excessive CPU usage due to excessive backtracking on crafted inputs, potentially leading to denial of service. 2. CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption (Resource Exhaustion) The package was vulnerable to resource exhaustion, where processing malicious inputs could cause high CPU or memory usage, potentially leading to denial of service. ### Impact - Trigger excessive CPU consumption leading to denial of service - Cause resource exhaustion affecting service availability - Bypass protection mechanisms causing unexpected or insecure behavior ### Resolution These vulnerabilities have been fixed in...

### Summary Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is an attack that forces an end user to execute unwanted actions on a web application in which they’re currently authenticated. With a little help of social engineering (such as sending a link via email or chat), an attacker may trick the users of a web application into executing actions of the attacker’s choosing. If the victim is a normal user, a successful CSRF attack can force the user to perform state changing requests like transferring funds, changing their email address, and so forth. If the victim is an administrative account, CSRF can compromise the entire web application. ### Details During a security evaluation of the webapp, every http request in addition to the session cookie `session` there included `nonce`. The value is not checked and validated by the backend, removing `nonce` allows the requests to be processed correctly. This may seem harmless, but if chained to other vulnerabilities it can become a critical vulnerabi...

Researchers found a host of vulnerabilities in the platforms run by RBI to service Burger King, Tim Horton's, and Popeyes.

### Impact OctoPrint versions up until and including 1.11.2 contain a vulnerability that allows an **authenticated** attacker to upload a file under a specially crafted filename that will allow arbitrary command execution if said filename becomes included in a command defined in a system event handler and said event gets triggered. If no event handlers executing system commands with uploaded filenames as parameters have been configured, this vulnerability does not have an impact. ### Patches The vulnerability will be patched in version 1.11.3. ### Workaround Until the patch has been applied, OctoPrint administrators who have event handlers configured that include any kind of filename based placeholders (i.e. `{__filename}`, `{__filepath}`, `{filename}`, `{path}`, etc -- refer to [the events documentation](https://docs.octoprint.org/en/master/events/index.html#placeholders) for a full list) should disable those by setting their `enabled` property to `False` or unchecking the "Enab...
