New UEFI Flaw Enables Early-Boot DMA Attacks on ASRock, ASUS, GIGABYTE, MSI Motherboards

Certain motherboard models from vendors like ASRock, ASUSTeK Computer, GIGABYTE, and MSI are affected by a security vulnerability that leaves them susceptible to early-boot direct memory access (DMA) attacks across architectures that implement a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) and input–output memory management unit (IOMMU). UEFI and IOMMU are designed to enforce a security

GHSA-hp6r-r9vc-q8wx: FastAPI SSP is vulnerable to Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF) through improper OAuth parameter validation

Versions of the package fastapi-sso before 0.19.0 are vulnerable to Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF) due to the improper validation of the OAuth state parameter during the authentication callback. While the get_login_url method allows for state generation, it does not persist the state or bind it to the user's session. Consequently, the verify_and_process method accepts the state received in the query parameters without verifying it against a trusted local value. This allows a remote attacker to trick a victim into visiting a malicious callback URL, which can result in the attacker's account being linked to the victim's internal account.

GHSA-qf7c-7r9h-mm92: Elasticsearch has Excessive Allocation of Resources via Submission of Oversized User Settings Data

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CWE-770) in Elasticsearch can allow a low-privileged authenticated user to cause Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130) causing a persistent denial of service (OOM crash) via submission of oversized user settings data.

GHSA-gphj-4h6p-37xq: Elasticsearch privileged authenticated users can cause DoS through Excessive Resource Allocation

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CWE-770) in Elasticsearch can allow an authenticated user with snapshot restore privileges to cause Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130) of memory and a denial of service (DoS) via crafted HTTP request.

GHSA-fj69-23m4-ccvv: Elasticsearch Packetbeat has Excessive Allocation of Memory and CPU via Malicious IPv4 Fragments

Allocation of resources without limits or throttling (CWE-770) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause excessive allocation (CAPEC-130) of memory and CPU via the integration of malicious IPv4 fragments, leading to denial-of-service in Packetbeat.

Attestation vs. integrity in a zero-trust world

The complex risks facing modern IT environments make IT security a strategic imperative, not a back-end detail. Furthering this is cloud computing, which serves as the foundation of the AI economy, meaning that enterprises and nations require greater control, transparency, and assurance over data location and protection. Trust has become not just a technical question, but a matter of national policy, corporate strategy, and even societal resilience.At the same time, the explosion of AI and machine learning (ML) workloads is reshaping infrastructure requirements. But these shifts pose a complex

GHSA-8vcg-cfxj-p5m3: Weblate is vulnerable to RCE through Git config file overwrite

### Impact It was possible to overwrite Git configuration remotely and override some of its behavior. ### Resources Thanks to Jason Marcello for responsible disclosure.

GHSA-g925-f788-4jh7: Weblate has an arbitrary file read via symbolic links

### Impact It was possible to read arbitrary files from the server file system using crafted symbolic links in the repository. ### Resources Thanks to Jason Marcello for responsible disclosure.

GHSA-xm59-rqc7-hhvf: nbconvert has an uncontrolled search path that leads to unauthorized code execution on Windows

### Summary On Windows, converting a notebook containing SVG output to a PDF results in unauthorized code execution. Specifically, a third party can create a `inkscape.bat` file that defines a [Windows batch script](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batch_file), capable of arbitrary code execution. When a user runs `jupyter nbconvert --to pdf` on a notebook containing SVG output to a PDF on a Windows platform from this directory, the `inkscape.bat` file is run unexpectedly. ### Details _Give all details on the vulnerability. Pointing to the incriminated source code is very helpful for the maintainer._ `nbconvert` searches for an `inkscape` executable when converting notebooks to PDFs here: https://github.com/jupyter/nbconvert/blob/4f61702f5c7524d8a3c4ac0d5fc33a6ac2fa36a7/nbconvert/preprocessors/svg2pdf.py#L104 The MITRE page on [CWE-427 (Uncontrolled Search Path Element)](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/427.html) summarizes the root cause succinctly: > In Windows-based systems...

GHSA-vc5p-v9hr-52mj: Apache Log4j does not verify the TLS hostname in its Socket Appender

The Socket Appender in Apache Log4j Core versions 2.0-beta9 through 2.25.2 does not perform TLS hostname verification of the peer certificate, even when the [verifyHostName](https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/appenders/network.html#SslConfiguration-attr-verifyHostName) configuration attribute or the [log4j2.sslVerifyHostName](https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/systemproperties.html#log4j2.sslVerifyHostName) system property is set to true. This issue may allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to intercept or redirect log traffic under the following conditions: * The attacker is able to intercept or redirect network traffic between the client and the log receiver. * The attacker can present a server certificate issued by a certification authority trusted by the Socket Appender’s configured trust store (or by the default Java trust store if no custom trust store is configured). Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Log4j Core version 2.25.3, which addresses thi...
