### Impact Under specific circumstances, text composables may contain unmasked sensitive data in Android session replays. You may be impacted if you meet the following conditions: - Using any `sentry-android` with versions < 8.14.0 - Using Jetpack Compose >= [1.8.0-alpha08](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/compose-ui#1.8.0-alpha08) - Have configured Sentry Session Replays for Android If you do not use Jetpack Compose or have never used a version >= 1.8.0-alpha08 you are not impacted. If you have not configured [Session Replays for Mobile](https://docs.sentry.io/product/explore/session-replay/mobile/) you are not impacted. ### How do I check if I'm impacted? If you meet the conditions above, the `sentry-android` package includes a [specific error log](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/blob/b2920907e6afb69a8027cedb251dd94a3514f0e6/sentry-android-replay/src/main/java/io/sentry/android/replay/viewhierarchy/ComposeViewHierarchyNode.kt#L252-L261) that woul...

### Impact _What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?_ This is a disclosure for a security vulnerability in the `SparseMatrix` class. The vulnerability is a deserialization issue that can lead to a wide range of privilege escalations depending on the circumstances. The problematic area is the `read` method of the `SparseMatrix` class. This method takes in an `InputStream` and returns a `SparseMatrix` object. We consider this to be a method that can be exposed to untrusted input in at least two use cases: - A user can adopt this method in an application where users can submit an `InputStream` and the application parses it into a `SparseMatrix`. This can be a multi-tenant application that hosts many different users perhaps with different privilege levels. - A user adopts the method for a local tool but receives the `InputStream` from external sources. #### Am I impacted? You are vulnerable if you import non-controlled serialized `SparseMatrix` objects. ### Patches com.powsyb...

### Impact _What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?_ In certain places, powsybl-core XML parsing is vulnerable to an XXE attack and in on place also to an SSRF attack. This allows an attacker to elevate their privileges to read files that they do not have permissions to, including sensitive files on the system. The vulnerable class is `com.powsybl.commons.xml.XmlReader` which is considered to be untrusted in use cases where untrusted users can submit their XML to the vulnerable methods. This can be a multi-tenant application that hosts many different users perhaps with different privilege levels. #### Am I impacted? You are vulnerable if you allow untrusted users to import untrusted CGMES or XIIDM network files. ### Patches com.powsybl:powsybl-commons:6.7.2 and higher ### References [powsybl-core v6.7.2](https://github.com/powsybl/powsybl-core/releases/tag/v6.7.2)

urllib3 [supports](https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/2.4.0/reference/contrib/emscripten.html) being used in a Pyodide runtime utilizing the [JavaScript Fetch API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API) or falling back on [XMLHttpRequest](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest). This means you can use Python libraries to make HTTP requests from your browser or Node.js. Additionally, urllib3 provides [a mechanism](https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/2.4.0/user-guide.html#retrying-requests) to control redirects. However, the `retries` and `redirect` parameters are ignored with Pyodide; the runtime itself determines redirect behavior. ## Affected usages Any code which relies on urllib3 to control the number of redirects for an HTTP request in a Pyodide runtime. ## Impact Redirects are often used to exploit SSRF vulnerabilities. An application attempting to mitigate SSRF or open redirect vulnerabilities by disabling redirects may remain vul...

XSS via `.py` file containing script tag interpreted as HTML ## Summary A vulnerability exists in the file preview/browsing feature of the application, where files with a `.py` extension that contain JavaScript code wrapped in `<script>` tags may be interpreted and executed as HTML in certain modes. This leads to a stored XSS vulnerability. ## Affected Versions * <= 4.0.0-rc.3 ## PoC Create a `.py` file with arbitrary JavaScript content wrapped in `<script>` tags. For example: ```javascript <script>alert(document.cookie);</script> ``` When a victim views the file in browsing mode (e.g., a rendered preview), the JavaScript is executed in the browser context. --- ## Attack vector An attacker can place such a `.py` file in the system via remote channels, such as: * Convincing a webmaster to download or upload the file; * Tricking users into accessing a file link via public URLs. ## Required permissions * None, if public or visitor access is enabled. * If the file is uploade...

A new multi-stage malware campaign is targeting Minecraft users with a Java-based malware that employs a distribution-as-service (DaaS) offering called Stargazers Ghost Network. "The campaigns resulted in a multi-stage attack chain targeting Minecraft users specifically," Check Point researchers Jaromír Hořejší and Antonis Terefos said in a report shared with The Hacker News. "The malware was

A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability has been identified in the JavaScript library microlight version 0.0.7. This library, used for syntax highlighting, does not limit the size of textual content it processes in HTML elements with the microlight class. When excessively large content (e.g., 100 million characters) is processed, the reset function in microlight.js consumes excessive memory and CPU resources, causing browser crashes or unresponsiveness. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into visiting a malicious web page containing a microlight element with large content, resulting in a denial of service.
