GHSA-x8jh-xj3x-gx3c: `fast-float` has multiple soundness issues

`fast-float` contains multiple soundness issues: 1. [Undefined behavior when checking input length](https://github.com/aldanor/fast-float-rust/issues/28), which has been merged but no package [pubished](https://github.com/aldanor/fast-float-rust/issues/35). 1. [Many functions marked as safe with non-local safety guarantees](https://github.com/aldanor/fast-float-rust/issues/37) The library is also unmaintained. ## Alternatives For quickly parsing floating-point numbers third-party crates are generally no longer needed. A fast float parsing algorithm by the author of `lexical` has been [merged](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/86761) into libcore. When requiring direct parsing from bytes and/or partial parsers, the [`fast-float2`](https://crates.io/crates/fast-float2) fork of `fast-float` containing these security patches and reduces overall usage of unsafe.

GHSA-xvg8-m4x3-w6xr: matrix-js-sdk has insufficient MXC URI validation which allows client-side path traversal

### Summary matrix-js-sdk before 34.11.0 is vulnerable to client-side path traversal via crafted MXC URIs. A malicious room member can trigger clients based on the matrix-js-sdk to issue arbitrary authenticated GET requests to the client's homeserver. ### Details The Matrix specification demands homeservers to [perform validation](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.12/client-server-api/#security-considerations-5) of the `server-name` and `media-id` components of MXC URIs with the intent to prevent path traversal. However, it is not mentioned that a similar check must also be performed on the client to prevent *client-side* path traversal. matrix-js-sdk fails to perform this validation. ### Patches Fixed in matrix-js-sdk 34.11.1. ### Workarounds None. ### References - https://spec.matrix.org/v1.12/client-server-api/#security-considerations-5 - https://blog.doyensec.com/2024/07/02/cspt2csrf.html

GHSA-cxwf-qc32-375f: Decidim-Awesome has SQL injection in AdminAccountability

## Vulnerability type: CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') ## Vendor: Decidim International Community Environment ### Has vendor confirmed: Yes ### Attack type: Remote ### Impact: Code Execution Escalation of Privileges Information Disclosure ### Affected component: A raw sql-statement that uses an interpolated variable exists in the admin_role_actions method of the `papertrail/version-model(app/models/decidim/decidim_awesome/paper_trail_version.rb`). ### Attack vector: An attacker with admin permissions could manipulate database queries in order to read out the database, read files from the filesystem, write files from the filesystem. In the worst case, this could lead to remote code execution on the server. Description of the vulnerability for use in the CVE [ℹ] (https://cveproject.github.io/docs/content/key-details- phrasing.pdf) : An improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command in the `papertrail/vers...
