### Summary _Short summary of the problem. Make the impact and severity as clear as possible. The permissions granted to the `virt-handler` service account, such as the ability to update VMI and patch nodes, could be abused to force a VMI migration to an attacker-controlled node. ### Details _Give all details on the vulnerability. Pointing to the incriminated source code is very helpful for the maintainer._ Following the [GitHub security advisory published on March 23 2023](https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/security/advisories/GHSA-cp96-jpmq-xrr2), a `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy` was introduced to impose restrictions on which sections of node resources the `virt-handler` service account can modify. For instance, the `spec` section of nodes has been made immutable, and modifications to the `labels` section are now limited to `kubevirt.io`-prefixed labels only. This vulnerability could otherwise allow an attacker to mark all nodes as unschedulable, potentially forcing the migration o...

### Summary _Short summary of the problem. Make the impact and severity as clear as possible. A logic flaw in the `virt-controller` allows an attacker to disrupt the control over a running VMI by creating a pod with the same labels as the legitimate `virt-launcher` pod associated with the VMI. This can mislead the `virt-controller` into associating the fake pod with the VMI, resulting in incorrect status updates and potentially causing a DoS (Denial-of-Service). ### Details _Give all details on the vulnerability. Pointing to the incriminated source code is very helpful for the maintainer._ A vulnerability has been identified in the logic responsible for reconciling the state of VMI. Specifically, it is possible to associate a malicious attacker-controlled pod with an existing VMI running within the same namespace as the pod, thereby replacing the legitimate `virt-launcher` pod associated with the VMI. The `virt-launcher` pod is critical for enforcing the isolation mechanisms appli...

### Summary _Short summary of the problem. Make the impact and severity as clear as possible. A flawed implementation of the Kubernetes aggregation layer's authentication flow could enable bypassing RBAC controls. ### Details _Give all details on the vulnerability. Pointing to the incriminated source code is very helpful for the maintainer._ It was discovered that the `virt-api` component fails to correctly authenticate the client when receiving API requests over mTLS. In particular, it fails to validate the CN (Common Name) field in the received client TLS certificates against the set of allowed values defined in the `extension-apiserver-authentication` configmap. The Kubernetes API server proxies received client requests through a component called aggregator (part of K8S's API server), and authenticates to the `virt-api` server using a certificate signed by the CA specified via the `--requestheader-client-ca-file` CLI flag. This CA bundle is primarily used in the context of aggr...

### Impact A bug was found in containerd's CRI Attach implementation where a user can exhaust memory on the host due to goroutine leaks. Repetitive calls of CRI Attach (e.g., [`kubectl attach`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/generated/kubectl_attach/)) could increase the memory usage of containerd. ### Patches This bug has been fixed in the following containerd versions: * 2.2.0 * 2.1.5 * 2.0.7 * 1.7.29 Users should update to these versions to resolve the issue. ### Workarounds Set up an admission controller to control accesses to `pods/attach` resources. e.g., [Validating Admission Policy](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/validating-admission-policy/). ### Credits The containerd project would like to thank @Wheat2018 for responsibly disclosing this issue in accordance with the [containerd security policy](https://github.com/containerd/project/blob/main/SECURITY.md). ### References https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2025...

### Impact The prosemirror_to_html gem is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks through malicious HTML attribute values. While tag content is properly escaped, attribute values are not, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript code. **Who is impacted:** - Any application using prosemirror_to_html to convert ProseMirror documents to HTML - Applications that process user-generated ProseMirror content are at highest risk - End users viewing the rendered HTML output could have malicious JavaScript executed in their browsers **Attack vectors include:** - `href` attributes with `javascript:` protocol: `<a href="javascript:alert(document.cookie)">` - Event handlers: `<div onclick="maliciousCode()">` - `onerror` attributes on images: `<img src=x onerror="alert('XSS')">` - Other HTML attributes that can execute JavaScript ### Patches A fix is currently in development. Users should upgrade to version **0.2.1** or later once released. The patch escapes all HTML attribute...
