Hi Fedify team! 👋 Thank you for your work on Fedify—it's a fantastic library for building federated applications. While reviewing the codebase, I discovered a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability that I'd like to report. I hope this helps improve the project's security. --- ## Summary A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability exists in Fedify's document loader. The HTML parsing regex at `packages/fedify/src/runtime/docloader.ts:259` contains nested quantifiers that cause catastrophic backtracking when processing maliciously crafted HTML responses. **An attacker-controlled federated server can respond with a small (~170 bytes) malicious HTML payload that blocks the victim's Node.js event loop for 14+ seconds, causing a Denial of Service.** | Field | Value | |-------|-------| | **CWE** | CWE-1333 (Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity) | --- ## Details ### Vulnerable Code The vulnerability is located in `packages/fedify/src/runtime...

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Page Settings module of Piranha CMS v12.1 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via injecting a crafted payload into the Excerpt field.

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Media module of Piranha CMS v12.1 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via injecting a crafted payload into the Name field.

An arbitrary file upload vulnerability in Umbraco CMS v16.3.3 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via uploading a crafted PDF file.

### Impact An Arbitrary File Read vulnerability has been identified in KEDA, potentially affecting any KEDA resource that uses TriggerAuthentication to configure HashiCorp Vault authentication. The vulnerability stems from an incorrect or insufficient path validation when loading the Service Account Token specified in spec.hashiCorpVault.credential.serviceAccount. An attacker with permissions to create or modify a TriggerAuthentication resource can exfiltrate the content of any file from the node's filesystem (where the KEDA pod resides) by directing the file's content to a server under their control, as part of the Vault authentication request. The potential impact includes the exfiltration of sensitive system information, such as secrets, keys, or the content of files like /etc/passwd. ### Patches The problem has been patched in v2.17.3 and 2.18.3 as well as in main branch. ### Workarounds The only effective workaround is the strict restriction of permissions for creating and mo...

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new malicious package on the npm repository that works as a fully functional WhatsApp API, but also contains the ability to intercept every message and link the attacker's device to a victim's WhatsApp account. The package, named "lotusbail," has been downloaded over 56,000 times since it was first uploaded to the registry by a user named "

### Impact n8n contains a critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in its workflow expression evaluation system. Under certain conditions, expressions supplied by authenticated users during workflow configuration may be evaluated in an execution context that is not sufficiently isolated from the underlying runtime. An authenticated attacker could abuse this behavior to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the n8n process. Successful exploitation may lead to full compromise of the affected instance, including unauthorized access to sensitive data, modification of workflows, and execution of system-level operations. ### Patches This issue has been fixed in **n8n v1.122.0**. Users are strongly advised to upgrade to version **1.122.0 or later**, which introduces additional safeguards to restrict expression evaluation. ### Workarounds If upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators should consider the following temporary mitigations: - Limit workflow creation...

Users affected by the data breach may be contacted directly by cybercriminals, Pornhub warns.

Cyber threats last week showed how attackers no longer need big hacks to cause big damage. They’re going after the everyday tools we trust most — firewalls, browser add-ons, and even smart TVs — turning small cracks into serious breaches. The real danger now isn’t just one major attack, but hundreds of quiet ones using the software and devices already inside our networks. Each trusted system can
