#auth

CodeIgniter Shield is an authentication and authorization provider for CodeIgniter 4. The `secretKey` value is an important key for HMAC SHA256 authentication and in affected versions was stored in the database in cleartext form. If a malicious person somehow had access to the data in the database, they could use the key and secretKey for HMAC SHA256 authentication to send requests impersonating that corresponding user. This issue has been addressed in version 1.0.0-beta.8. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

capsule-proxy is a reverse proxy for the capsule operator project. Affected versions are subject to a privilege escalation vulnerability which is based on a missing check if the user is authenticated based on the `TokenReview` result. All the clusters running with the `anonymous-auth` Kubernetes API Server setting disable (set to `false`) are affected since it would be possible to bypass the token review mechanism, interacting with the upper Kubernetes API Server. This privilege escalation cannot be exploited if you're relying only on client certificates (SSL/TLS). This vulnerability has been addressed in version 0.4.6. Users are advised to upgrade.

Warpgate is an open source SSH, HTTPS and MySQL bastion host for Linux. In affected versions there is a privilege escalation vulnerability through a non-admin user's account. Limited users can impersonate another user's account if only single-factor authentication is configured. If a user knows an admin username, opens the login screen and attempts to authenticate with an incorrect password they can subsequently enter a valid non-admin username and password they will be logged in as the admin user. All installations prior to version 0.9.0 are affected. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on a Rust version of a cross-platform backdoor called SysJoker, which is assessed to have been used by a Hamas-affiliated threat actor to target Israel amid the ongoing war in the region. “Among the most prominent changes is the shift to Rust language, which indicates the malware code was entirely rewritten, while still maintaining similar

Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in Apache DolphinScheduler. The information exposed to unauthorized actors may include sensitive data such as database credentials. Users who can't upgrade to the fixed version can also set environment variable `MANAGEMENT_ENDPOINTS_WEB_EXPOSURE_INCLUDE=health,metrics,prometheus` to workaround this, or add the following section in the `application.yaml` file ``` management:   endpoints:     web:       exposure:         include: health,metrics,prometheus ``` This issue affects Apache DolphinScheduler: from 3.0.0 before 3.0.2. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.0.2, which fixes the issue.

Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF) in Checkmk < 2.2.0p15, < 2.1.0p37, <= 2.0.0p39 allow an authenticated attacker to delete user-messages for individual users.

Cybersecurity researchers are warning of publicly exposed Kubernetes configuration secrets that could put organizations at risk of supply chain attacks. “These encoded Kubernetes configuration secrets were uploaded to public repositories,” Aqua security researchers Yakir Kadkoda and Assaf Morag said in a new research published earlier this week. Some of those impacted include two top blockchain

RVTools, Version 3.9.2 and above, contain a sensitive data exposure vulnerability in the password encryption utility (RVToolsPasswordEncryption.exe) and main application (RVTools.exe). A remote unauthenticated attacker with access to stored encrypted passwords from a users' system could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to the disclosure of encrypted passwords in clear text. This vulnerability is caused by an incomplete fix for CVE-2020-27688.
