Ubuntu Security Notice 7055-1 - Goldberg, Miro Haller, Nadia Heninger, Mike Milano, Dan Shumow, Marc Stevens, and Adam Suhl discovered that FreeRADIUS incorrectly authenticated certain responses. An attacker able to intercept communications between a RADIUS client and server could possibly use this issue to forge responses, bypass authentication, and access network devices and services. This update introduces new configuration options called "limit_proxy_state" and "require_message_authenticator" that default to "auto" but should be set to "yes" once all RADIUS devices have been upgraded on a network.

### Impact The cookie name could be used to set other fields of the cookie, resulting in an unexpected cookie value. For example, `serialize("userName=<script>alert('XSS3')</script>; Max-Age=2592000; a", value)` would result in `"userName=<script>alert('XSS3')</script>; Max-Age=2592000; a=test"`, setting `userName` cookie to `<script>` and ignoring `value`. A similar escape can be used for `path` and `domain`, which could be abused to alter other fields of the cookie. ### Patches Upgrade to 0.7.0, which updates the validation for `name`, `path`, and `domain`. ### Workarounds Avoid passing untrusted or arbitrary values for these fields, ensure they are set by the application instead of user input. ### References * https://github.com/jshttp/cookie/pull/167

### Summary The `HtmlGenerator` class is subject to potential cross-site scripting (XSS) attack through a parsed malformed Minecraft server MOTD. ### Context Minecraft server owners can set a so-called MOTD (Message of the Day) for their server that appears next to the server icon and below the server name on the multiplayer server list of a player's Minecraft client. The Minecraft server sends the MOTD in the `description` property of the [Status Response](https://wiki.vg/Server_List_Ping#Status_Response) packet. The [jgniecki/MinecraftMotdParser](https://github.com/jgniecki/MinecraftMotdParser) PHP library is able to parse the value of the `description` property, which can be either a string or an array of text components. By utilizing the aforementioned `HtmlGenerator` class, it is also able to transform the value into an HTML string that can be used to visualize the MOTD on a web page. ### Details The `HtmlGenerator` iterates through objects of `MotdItem` that are contained in an...

### Impact If the Parse Server option `allowCustomObjectId: true` is set, an attacker that is allowed to create a new user can set a custom object ID for that new user that exploits the vulnerability and acquires privileges of a specific role. ### Patches Improved validation for custom user object IDs. Session tokens for existing users with an object ID that exploits the vulnerability are now rejected. ### Workarounds - Disable custom object IDs by setting `allowCustomObjectId: false` or not setting the option which defaults to `false`. - Use a Cloud Code Trigger to validate that a new user's object ID doesn't start with the prefix `role:`. ### References - https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/security/advisories/GHSA-8xq9-g7ch-35hg - https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/pull/9317 (fix for Parse Server 7) - https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/pull/9318 (fix for Parse Server 6)
