GHSA-9cwv-pxcr-hfjc: LF Edge eKuiper Vulnerable to Stored XSS in Configuration Key Functionality

### Summary Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web applications, which can then be executed in the context of other users' browsers. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information, session hijacking, and spreading of malware, impacting user data privacy and application integrity. ### Details A user with rights to modificate the service (e.g. kuiperUser role) can inject XSS Payload into Connection Configuration key `Name` (`confKey`) parameter. Then, after any user with access to this service (e.g. admin) will try to delete this key, a payload will act in victim's browser. ### PoC 1. Authorize as a user with rights to modificate the service (e.g. kuiperUser role). 2. Create a service or go to the existing one and access the *Configuration > Connection* page: ![*Configuration > Connection page](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d29cbc23-04a4-4a49-bbd9-b26f74282c5c) 3. Open any existing Connection a...

GHSA-mjfq-3qr2-6g84: Cosmos EVM Allows Partial Precompile State Writes

### Impact Setting lower EVM call gas allows users to partially execute precompiles and error at specific points in the precompile code without reverting the partially written state. If executed on the distribution precompile when claiming funds, it could cause funds to be transferred to a user without resetting the claimable rewards to 0. The vulnerability could also be used to cause indeterministic execution by failing at other points in the code, halting validators. Any evmOS or Cosmos EVM chain using precompiles is affected. ### Patches The vulnerability was patched by wrapping each precompile execution into an atomic function that reverts any partially committed state on error. - [evmos/os](https://github.com/evmos/os) patch file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LfC0WSrQOqwTOW3qfaE6t8Jqf1PLVtS_/ For chains using a different file structure, you must manually apply the diff: ### **In `x/evm/statedb.go`:** Add the following function: ```go func (s *StateDB) RevertMultiStore(...

GHSA-w9hf-35q4-vcjw: nosurf vulnerable to CSRF due to non-functional same-origin request checks

### Impact This vulnerability allows an attacker who controls content on the target site, or on a subdomain of the target site (either via XSS, or otherwise) to bypass Cross-Site Request Forgery checks and issue requests on user's behalf. ### Details Due to misuse of the Go `net/http` library, nosurf categorizes all incoming requests as plain-text HTTP requests, in which case the `Referer` header is not checked to have the same origin as the target webpage. If the attacker has control over HTML contents on either the target website (e.g. `example.com`), or on a website hosted on a subdomain of the target (e.g. `attacker.example.com`), they will also be able to manipulate cookies set for the target website. By acquiring the secret CSRF token from the cookie, or overriding the cookie with a new token known to the attacker, `attacker.example.com` is able to craft cross-site requests to `example.com`. ### Patches A patch for the issue was released in nosurf 1.2.0. ### Workarounds ...
