### Impact The Express server uses `express.json()` without a size limit, which can allow attackers to send extremely large request bodies. This may lead to excessive memory usage, degraded performance, or process crashes, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). Any application using the JSON parser without limits and exposed to untrusted clients is affected. ### Patches This issue is not a flaw in Express itself but in configuration. Users should set a request-size limit when enabling the JSON body parser. For example: `app.use(express.json({ limit: "100kb" }));` ### Workarounds Users can mitigate the issue without upgrading by: - Adding a `limit` option to the JSON parser - Implementing rate limiting at the application or reverse-proxy level - Rejecting unusually large requests before parsing - Using a reverse proxy (such as NGINX) to enforce maximum request body sizes
## Summary An attacker can cause excessive memory allocation in quic-go's HTTP/3 client and server implementations by sending a QPACK-encoded HEADERS frame that decodes into a large header field section (many unique header names and/or large values). The implementation builds an `http.Header` (used on the `http.Request` and `http.Response`, respectively), while only enforcing limits on the size of the (QPACK-compressed) HEADERS frame, but not on the decoded header, leading to memory exhaustion. ## Impact A misbehaving or malicious peer can cause a denial-of-service (DoS) attack on quic-go's HTTP/3 servers or clients by triggering excessive memory allocation, potentially leading to crashes or exhaustion. It affects both servers and clients due to symmetric header construction. ## Details In HTTP/3, headers are compressed using QPACK (RFC 9204). quic-go's HTTP/3 server (and client) decodes the QPACK-encoded HEADERS frame into header fields, then constructs an http.Request (or respon...
This week’s cyber stories show how fast the online world can turn risky. Hackers are sneaking malware into movie downloads, browser add-ons, and even software updates people trust. Tech giants and governments are racing to plug new holes while arguing over privacy and control. And researchers keep uncovering just how much of our digital life is still wide open.

1Panel versions 1.10.33 - 2.0.15 contain a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the web port configuration functionality. The port-change endpoint lacks CSRF defenses such as anti-CSRF tokens or Origin/Referer validation. An attacker can craft a malicious webpage that submits a port-change request; when a victim visits it while authenticated, the browser includes valid session cookies and the request succeeds. This allows an attacker to change the port on which the 1Panel web service listens, causing loss of access on the original port and resulting in service disruption or denial of service, and may unintentionally expose the service on an attacker-chosen port.
### Description In the Okta Java SDK, specific multithreaded implementations may encounter memory issues as threads are not properly cleaned up after requests are completed. Over time, this can degrade performance and availability in long-running applications and may result in a denial-of-service condition under sustained load. ### Affected product and versions You may be affected by this vulnerability if you meet the following preconditions: - Using the Okta Java SDK between versions 21.0.0 and 24.0.0, and - Implementing a long-running application using the ApiClient in a multi-threaded manner. ### Resolution Upgrade Okta/okta-sdk-java to versions 24.0.1 or greater. ### Acknowledgement Okta would like to thank Andrew Pikler (pyckle) for their discovery and responsible disclosure.
## Summary The `download_media` method in Pyrofork does not sanitize filenames received from Telegram messages before using them in file path construction. This allows a remote attacker to write files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem by sending a specially crafted document with path traversal sequences (e.g., `../`) or absolute paths in the filename. --- ## Details When downloading media, if the user does not specify a custom filename (which is the common/default usage), the method falls back to using the `file_name` attribute from the media object. This attribute originates from Telegram's `DocumentAttributeFilename` and is controlled by the message sender. ### Vulnerable Code Path **Step 1**: In `pyrogram/methods/messages/download_media.py` (lines 145-151): ```python media_file_name = getattr(media, "file_name", "") # Value from Telegram message directory, file_name = os.path.split(file_name) # Split user's path parameter file_name = file_name or media_file_name o...
Jenkins 2.540 and earlier, LTS 2.528.2 and earlier does not properly close HTTP-based CLI connections when the connection stream becomes corrupted, allowing unauthenticated attackers to cause a denial of service.
1Panel versions 1.10.33 - 2.0.15 contain a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Change Username functionality available from the settings panel (/settings/panel). The endpoint does not implement CSRF protections such as anti-CSRF tokens or Origin/Referer validation. An attacker can craft a malicious webpage that submits a username-change request; when a victim visits the page while authenticated, the browser includes valid session cookies and the request succeeds. This allows an attacker to change the victim’s 1Panel username without consent. After the change, the victim is logged out and unable to log in with the previous username, resulting in account lockout and denial of service.
Three security vulnerabilities have been disclosed in the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) Integrity and Data Encryption (IDE) protocol specification that could expose a local attacker to serious risks. The flaws impact PCIe Base Specification Revision 5.0 and onwards in the protocol mechanism introduced by the IDE Engineering Change Notice (ECN), according to the PCI Special
Denial of Service vulnerability in Apache Struts, file leak in multipart request processing causes disk exhaustion. This issue affects Apache Struts: from 2.0.0 through 6.7.4, from 7.0.0 through 7.0.3. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.8.0 or 7.1.1, which fixes the issue.
