We are potentially encroaching on a water supply crisis if data center operators, utilities, and the government don't implement preventative measures now.

The company is asking users to retire several network-attached storage (NAS) models to avoid compromise through a publicly available exploit that results in backdooring.

### Impact During the proxy generation process (e.g., when using `dirac-proxy-init`) it is possible for unauthorized users on the same machine to gain read access to the proxy. This allows the user to then perform any action that is possible with the original proxy. This vulnerability only exists for a short period of time (sub-millsecond) during the generation process. ### Patches _Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_ ### Workarounds Setting the `X509_USER_PROXY` environment variable to a path that is inside a directory that is only readable to the current user avoids the potential risk. After the file has been written it can be safely copied to the standard location (`/tmp/x509up_uNNNN`). ### References

### Summary The vulnerability impacts only users of the `IdTokenVerifier` class. The verify method in `IdTokenVerifier` does not validate the signature before verifying the claims (e.g., iss, aud, etc.). Signature verification makes sure that the token's payload comes from valid provider, not from someone else. An attacker can provide a compromised token with modified payload like email or phone number. The token will pass the validation by the library. Once verified, modified payload can be used by the application. If the application sends verified `IdToken` to other service as is like for auth - the risk is low, because the backend of the service is expected to check the signature and fail the request. Reporter: [Tamjid al Rahat](https://github.com/tamjidrahat), contributor ### Patches The issue was fixed in the 1.33.3 version of the library ### Proof of Concept To reproduce, one needs to call the verify function with an IdToken instance that contains a malformed signature to ...

Flightio.com suffers from a remote SQL injection vulnerability. The researchers reporting this claimed the site has not responded to their reports so we are posting this to add visibility to the issue.

We need more than "do-it-yourself" approaches to threats that clearly rise to the level of national security issues.
