### Summary `application/core/EA_Security.php::csrf_verify()` only enforces CSRF for POST requests and returns early for non-POST methods. Several application endpoints perform state-changing operations while accepting parameters from GET (or $_REQUEST), so an attacker can perform CSRF by forcing a victim's browser to issue a crafted GET request. Impact: creation of admin accounts, modification of admin email/password, and full admin account takeover ### Details in https://github.com/alextselegidis/easyappointments/blob/41c9b93a5a2c185a914f204412324d8980943fd5/application/core/EA_Security.php#L52 * **Repository / tested commit:** `alextselegidis/easyappointments` — commit `41c9b93a5a2c185a914f204412324d8980943fd5`. * **Vulnerable file & function:** `application/core/EA_Security.php::csrf_verify()` — around line 52. Link: `.../application/core/EA_Security.php#L52`. * **Root cause:** The function early-returns when the request is not `POST`: ```php // vulnerable snippet if (strtouppe...

## Summary Arcane’s updater service supported lifecycle labels `com.getarcaneapp.arcane.lifecycle.pre-update` and `com.getarcaneapp.arcane.lifecycle.post-update` that allowed defining a command to run before or after a container update. The label value is passed directly to /bin/sh -c without sanitization or validation. Because any authenticated user (not limited to administrators) can create projects through the API, an attacker can create a project that specifies one of these lifecycle labels with a malicious command. When an administrator later triggers a container update (either manually or via scheduled update checks), Arcane reads the lifecycle label and executes its value as a shell command inside the container. If the container is configured with host volume mounts in its Compose definition, the executed command may be able to read from or write to the host filesystem through the mounted paths. This can enable data theft and, in some configurations, escalation to full host c...

A critical misconfiguration in Amazon Web Services (AWS) CodeBuild could have allowed complete takeover of the cloud service provider's own GitHub repositories, including its AWS JavaScript SDK, putting every AWS environment at risk. The vulnerability has been codenamed CodeBreach by cloud security company Wiz. The issue was fixed by AWS in September 2025 following responsible disclosure on

In this week’s newsletter, Martin examines the evolving landscape for 2026, highlighting key threats, emerging trends like AI-driven risks, and the continued importance of addressing familiar vulnerabilities.

Over the past decade, US immigration agents have shot and killed more than two dozen people. Not a single agent appears to have faced criminal charges.

Umbraco CMS v8.14.1 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows attackers to manipulate baseUrl parameters in multiple dashboard and help controller endpoints. Attackers can craft malicious requests to the GetContextHelpForPage, GetRemoteDashboardContent, and GetRemoteDashboardCss endpoints to trigger unauthorized server-side requests to external hosts.

Aimeos 2021.10 LTS contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the json api 'sort' parameter that allows attackers to inject malicious database queries. Attackers can manipulate the sort parameter to reveal table and column names by sending crafted GET requests to the jsonapi/review endpoint.

### Summary A user enumeration vulnerability has been discovered in Zitadel's login interfaces. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw to confirm the existence of valid user accounts by iterating through usernames and userIDs. ### Impact The login UIs (in version 1 and 2) provide the possibility to request a password reset, where an email will be sent to the user with a link to a verification endpoint. By submitting arbitrary userIDs to these endpoints, an attacker can differentiate between valid and invalid accounts based on the system's response. For an effective exploit the attacker needs to iterate through the potential set of userIDs. The impact can be limited by implementing [rate limiting](https://zitadel.com/docs/self-hosting/manage/production#limits-and-quotas) or similar measures to limit enumeration of userIDs. Additionally, Zitadel includes a security feature "Ignoring unknown usernames", designed to prevent username enumeration attacks by presenting a gener...

### Summary The application fails to enforce proper server-side authorization checks on the API endpoint responsible for managing "Favourite Output Channel Configurations." Testing revealed that an authenticated backend user without explicitely lacking permissions for this feature was still able to successfully invoke the endpoint and modify or retrieve these configurations. This violates the principle of least privilege and constitutes a classic example of Broken Access Control (OWASP Top 10 A01:2021). Because authorization is not validated at the function level, any authenticated user can perform actions intended only for privileged roles, leading to horizontal or vertical privilege escalation. ### Detail The backend user without permission was still able to list, create, update "Favourite Output Channel Configuration" item ### Step to Reproduce the issue login as Admin (full permission) and clicked "Favourite Output Channel Configurations" <img width="949" height="860" alt="Screen...

### Summary The API endpoint for listing Predefined Properties in the Pimcore platform lacks adequate server-side authorization checks. Predefined Properties are configurable metadata definitions (e.g., name, key, type, default value) used across documents, assets, and objects to standardize custom attributes and improve editorial workflows, as documented in Pimcore's official properties guide. Testing confirmed that an authenticated backend user without explicit permissions for property management could successfully call the endpoint and retrieve the complete list of these configurations. This exemplifies Broken Access Control (OWASP Top 10 A01:2021), enabling unauthorized access to administrative features and potentially violating role-based access controls inherent to Pimcore's multi-user environment. ### Details The backend user without permission was still able to list "Predefined Properties" item ### Step to Reproduce the issue login as Admin (full permission) and clicked "Pre...
