### Impact A cryptographic semantic binding flaw in ALTCHA libraries allows challenge payload splicing, which may enable replay attacks. The HMAC signature does not unambiguously bind challenge parameters to the nonce, allowing an attacker to reinterpret a valid proof-of-work submission with a modified expiration value. This may allow previously solved challenges to be reused beyond their intended lifetime, depending on server-side replay handling and deployment assumptions. The vulnerability primarily impacts abuse-prevention mechanisms such as rate limiting and bot mitigation. It does not directly affect data confidentiality or integrity. ### Patches This issue has been addressed by enforcing explicit semantic separation between challenge parameters and the nonce during HMAC computation. Users are advised to upgrade to patched versions. ### Workarounds As a mitigation, implementations may append a delimiter to the end of the `salt` value prior to HMAC computation (for example...

### Summary The `io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpRequestEncoder` CRLF injection with the request uri when constructing a request. This leads to request smuggling when `HttpRequestEncoder` is used without proper sanitization of the uri. ### Details The `HttpRequestEncoder` simply UTF8 encodes the `uri` without sanitization (`buf.writeByte(SP).writeCharSequence(uriCharSequence, CharsetUtil.UTF_8);`) The default implementation of HTTP headers guards against such possibility already with a validator making it impossible with headers. ### PoC Simple reproducer: ```java public static void main(String[] args) { EmbeddedChannel client = new EmbeddedChannel(); client.pipeline().addLast(new HttpClientCodec()); EmbeddedChannel server = new EmbeddedChannel(); server.pipeline().addLast(new HttpServerCodec()); server.pipeline().addLast(new ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter() { @Override public void channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg) throws Exception { Syst...

A Google Chrome extension with a "Featured" badge and six million users has been observed silently gathering every prompt entered by users into artificial intelligence (AI)-powered chatbots like OpenAI ChatGPT, Anthropic Claude, Microsoft Copilot, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, Meta AI, and Perplexity. The extension in question is Urban VPN Proxy, which has a 4.7 rating on the Google Chrome

In early December 2025, security researchers exposed a cybercrime campaign that had quietly hijacked popular Chrome and Edge browser extensions on a massive scale. A threat group dubbed ShadyPanda spent seven years playing the long game, publishing or acquiring harmless extensions, letting them run clean for years to build trust and gain millions of installs, then suddenly flipping them into

A vulnerability was found in aizuda snail-job up to 1.6.0. Affected by this vulnerability is the function QLExpressEngine.doEval of the file snail-job-common/snail-job-common-core/src/main/java/com/aizuda/snailjob/common/core/expression/strategy/QLExpressEngine.java. The manipulation results in injection. The attack can be launched remotely. Upgrading to version 1.7.0-beta1 addresses this issue. The patch is identified as 978f316c38b3d68bb74d2489b5e5f721f6675e86. The affected component should be upgraded.

### Summary Incorrect handling of malformed data in Java-based decompressor implementations for Snappy and LZ4 allows remote attackers to read previous buffer contents via crafted compressed input. In applications where the output buffer is reused without being cleared, this may lead to disclosure of sensitive data. ### Details With certain crafted compressed inputs, elements from the output buffer can end up in the uncompressed output. This is relevant for applications that reuse the same output buffer to uncompress multiple inputs. This can be the case of a web server that allocates a fix-sized buffer for performance purposes. This is similar to [GHSA-cmp6-m4wj-q63q](https://github.com/yawkat/lz4-java/security/advisories/GHSA-cmp6-m4wj-q63q). ### Impact Applications using aircompressor as described above may leak sensitive information to external unauthorized attackers. ### Mitigation The vulnerability is fixed in release 3.4. However, it can be mitigated by either: * Avoiding re...

The Preset configuration feature of Vuetify is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution due to the internal 'mergeDeep' utility function used to merge options with defaults. Using a specially-crafted, malicious preset can result in polluting all JavaScript objects with arbitrary properties, which can further negatively affect all aspects of the application's behavior. This can lead to a wide range of security issues, including resource exhaustion/denial of service or unauthorized access to data. If the application utilizes Server-Side Rendering (SSR), this vulnerability could affect the whole server process. This issue affects Vuetify versions greater than or equal to 2.2.0-beta.2 and less than 3.0.0-alpha.10. Note: Version 2.x of Vuetify is End-of-Life and will not receive any updates to address this issue. For more information see here https://v2.vuetifyjs.com/en/about/eol/ .

### Impact The APIVersion rule uses `new Function()` to evaluate expression strings. A malicious crafted flow metadata file can cause arbitrary JavaScript execution during scanning. An attacker could execute arbitrary JavaScript during a scan by supplying a malicious expression within rule configuration or crafted flow metadata. This could compromise developer machines, CI runners, or editor environments. ### Patches The patch removes all uses of `new Function()` and replaces them with a safer parser. It now validates operators (`>`, >=`, `<`, `<=`, `==`) and performs numeric comparisons without evaluating untrusted JavaScript. **version:** core-v6.10.6, **version vsx:**: v2.4.4 ### Work around ``` // --- Handle APIVersion rule separately to avoid unsafe-eval in the core library --- const apiVersionConfig = ruleConfig.rules.APIVersion; if (apiVersionConfig) { delete ruleConfig.rules.APIVersion; } // Manually evaluate the APIVersion rule, if it was configur...

Cybersecurity researchers are calling attention to a new campaign that's leveraging GitHub-hosted Python repositories to distribute a previously undocumented JavaScript-based Remote Access Trojan (RAT) dubbed PyStoreRAT. "These repositories, often themed as development utilities or OSINT tools, contain only a few lines of code responsible for silently downloading a remote HTA file and executing

In Apache StreamPark versions 2.0.0 through 2.1.7, a security vulnerability involving a hard-coded encryption key exists. This vulnerability occurs because the system uses a fixed, immutable key for encryption instead of dynamically generating or securely configuring the key. Attackers may obtain this key through reverse engineering or code analysis, potentially decrypting sensitive data or forging encrypted information, leading to information disclosure or unauthorized system access. This issue affects Apache StreamPark: from 2.0.0 before 2.1.7. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.1.7, which fixes the issue.
