Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-8534-03 - An update is now available for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5. Issues addressed include cross site scripting and memory exhaustion vulnerabilities.

### Impact Users of this library that set a duration for a SAS Uri with a value other than 1 hour may have generated a URL with a duration that is longer, or shorter than desired. Users not implemented SAS Uri's are unaffected. ### Patches This issue was resolved in version 8.0.0 of the library, all users should update to this version ASAP. ### Workarounds None

Outages are inevitable. Our focus should be on minimizing their scope, addressing underlying causes, and understanding that protecting systems is about keeping bad actors out while maintaining stability and reliability.

Change Healthcare says it has notified approximately 100 million Americans that their personal, financial and healthcare records may have been stolen in a February 2024 ransomware attack that caused the largest ever known data breach of protected health information.

Using a malicious Chrome extension, researchers showed how an attacker could use a now-fixed bug to inject custom code into a victim's Opera browser to exploit special and powerful APIs, used by developers and typically saved for only the most trusted sites.

A now-patched security flaw in the Opera web browser could have enabled a malicious extension to gain unauthorized, full access to private APIs. The attack, codenamed CrossBarking, could have made it possible to conduct actions such as capturing screenshots, modifying browser settings, and account hijacking, Guardio Labs said. To demonstrate the issue, the company said it managed to publish a

The jsonProxy.php endpoint on the ABB BMS/BAS controller is vulnerable to an unauthenticated Denial of Service (DoS) attack. An attacker can remotely restart the main Java server by accessing the FTControlServlet with the restart parameter. The endpoint proxies requests to localhost without requiring authentication, enabling attackers to disrupt system availability by repeatedly triggering server restarts.

The jsonProxy.php endpoint on the ABB BMS/BAS controller is vulnerable to unauthorized project file disclosure. An unauthenticated remote attacker can issue a GET request abusing the DownloadProject servlet to download sensitive project files. The jsonProxy.php script bypasses authentication by proxying requests to localhost (AspectFT Automation Application Server), granting remote attackers unauthorized access to internal Java servlets. This exposes potentially sensitive project data and configuration details without requiring authentication.

The ABB BMS/BAS controller is vulnerable to remote, arbitrary servlet inclusion. The jsonProxy.php endpoint allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access internal services by proxying requests to localhost. This results in an authentication bypass, enabling attackers to interact with multiple java servlets without authorization, potentially exposing sensitive system functions and information.

The ABB BMS/BAS controller suffers from an unauthenticated reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability. Input passed to the GET parameters 'query' and 'application' is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML/JS code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
