### Impact A remote Matrix user with malicious intent, sharing a room with Synapse instances before 1.105.1, can dispatch specially crafted events to exploit a weakness in how the auth chain cover index is calculated. This can induce high CPU consumption and accumulate excessive data in the database of such instances, resulting in a denial of service. Servers in private federations, or those that do not federate, are not affected. ### Patches Server administrators should upgrade to 1.105.1 or later. ### Workarounds One can: - ban the malicious users or ACL block servers from the rooms; and/or - leave the room and purge the room using the admin API ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, please email us at [security AT element.io](mailto:security@element.io).

### SpEL Injection in `PUT /api/v1/policies` (`GHSL-2023-252`) **Please note, only authorized and admin role users have access to PUT / POST APIS for /api/v1/policies. Non authenticated users will not be able to access these APIs to exploit the vulnerability** `CompiledRule::validateExpression` is also called from [`PolicyRepository.prepare`](https://github.com/open-metadata/OpenMetadata/blob/main/openmetadata-service/src/main/java/org/openmetadata/service/jdbi3/PolicyRepository.java#L113) ```java @Override public void prepare(Policy policy, boolean update) { validateRules(policy); } ... public void validateRules(Policy policy) { List<Rule> rules = policy.getRules(); if (nullOrEmpty(rules)) { throw new IllegalArgumentException(CatalogExceptionMessage.EMPTY_RULES_IN_POLICY); } // Validate all the expressions in the rule for (Rule rule : rules) { CompiledRule.validateExpression(rule.getCondition(), Boolean.class); rule.getResources...

Growing attacks targeting the flaw prompted CISA to include it in the known exploited vulnerabilities catalog earlier this month.

An utterly innocuous feature in popular Git CDNs allows anyone to conceal malware behind brand names, without those brands being any the wiser.

The company reports most systems are functioning again but that analysis of the data affected will take months to complete.

A remote SQL injection vulnerability exists in FortiNet FortiClient EMS (Endpoint Management Server) versions 7.2.0 through 7.2.2 and 7.0.1 through 7.0.10. FortiClient EMS serves as an endpoint management solution tailored for enterprises, offering a centralized platform for overseeing enrolled endpoints. The SQL injection vulnerability is due to user controller strings which can be sent directly into database queries. FcmDaemon.exe is the main service responsible for communicating with enrolled clients. By default it listens on port 8013 and communicates with FCTDas.exe which is responsible for translating requests and sending them to the database. In the message header of a specific request sent between the two services, the FCTUID parameter is vulnerable to SQL injection. It can be used to enable the xp_cmdshell which can then be used to obtain unauthenticated remote code execution in the context of NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. Upgrading to either 7.2.3, 7.0.11 or above is recommended by Fo...

GitKraken GitLens versions prior to 14.0.0 allow an untrusted workspace to execute git commands. A repo may include its own .git folder including a malicious config file to execute arbitrary code. Tested against VSCode 1.87.2 with GitLens 13.6.0 on Ubuntu 22.04 and Windows 10.

This Metasploit module creates a vsix file which can be installed in Visual Studio Code as an extension. At activation/install, the extension will execute a shell or two. Tested against VSCode 1.87.2 on Ubuntu 22.04.
