### Impact A protocol compliance bug in thinbus-srp-npm versions prior to 2.0.1 causes the client to generate a fixed 252 bits of entropy instead of the intended bit length of the safe prime (defaulted to 2048 bits). RFC 5054 states in section [2.5.4 Client Key Exchange ](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5054#section-2.5.4) > The client key exchange message carries the client's public value (A). The client calculates this value as A = g^a % N, where a is a random number that SHOULD be at least 256 bits in length. The client public value is being generated from a private value that is 4 bits below the specification. This reduces the protocol's designed security margin it is now practically exploitable. The servers full sized 2048 bit random number is used to create the shared session key and password proof. ### Patches The issue is fixed in versions >= 2.0.1 ### Workarounds It is possible to patch a legacy version: ```javascript // WRONG var hexLength = this.toHe...

Cisco Talos’ Vulnerability Discovery & Research team recently disclosed seven vulnerabilities in WWBN AVideo, four in MedDream, and one in an Eclipse ThreadX module. The vulnerabilities mentioned in this blog post have been patched by their respective vendors, all in adherence to Cisco’s third-party vulnerability disclosure policy

### Impact The XML export of a page in XWiki that can be triggered by any user with view rights on a page by appending `?xpage=xml` to the URL includes password and email properties stored on a document that aren't named `password` or `email`. This allows any user to obtain the salted and hashed user account validation or password reset token. As those tokens are randomly generated strings, the immediate impact of this should be low. The user's password and email itself aren't exposed as those fields are named `password` and `email` and thus aren't affected. However, depending on how the wiki is used, there could be extensions or custom code that store passwords in plain text in such password properties that would be exposed by this vulnerability. ### Patches This vulnerability has been fixed by completely removing the output of password and email fields in this XML export in versions 17.2.0 RC1, 16.10.5 and 16.4.7. ### Workarounds If this XML export isn't needed, the file `templates...

### Impact Reflected XSS vulnerabilities in two templates allow an attacker to execute malicious JavaScript code in the context of the victim's session by getting the victim to visit an attacker-controlled URL. PoC URLs are `/xwiki/bin/view/Main/?xpage=job_status_json&jobId=asdf&translationPrefix=<img src=1 onerror=alert(document.domain)>` and `/xwiki/bin/view/Main/?xpage=distribution&extensionId=%3Cimg src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)%3E&extensionVersionConstraint=%3Cimg src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)%3E`. This allows the attacker to perform arbitrary actions using the permissions of the victim. ### Patches The problem has been patched in XWiki 16.4.8, 16.10.6 and 17.3.0RC1 by adding escaping in the affected templates. ### Workarounds The affected templates can be patched manually in the WAR by applying the same changes as in [the patch](https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/e5926a938cbecc8b1eaa48053d8d370cff107cb0). ### Attribution The vulnerability involving `...

Missing Origin Validation in WebSockets vulnerability in Apache Zeppelin. The attacker could access the Zeppelin server from another origin without any restriction, and get internal information about paragraphs.  This issue affects Apache Zeppelin: from 0.11.1 before 0.12.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.12.0, which fixes the issue.

## Summary A critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability was discovered in the `@nestjs/devtools-integration` package. When enabled, the package exposes a local development HTTP server with an API endpoint that uses an unsafe JavaScript sandbox (`safe-eval`-like implementation). Due to improper sandboxing and missing cross-origin protections, any malicious website visited by a developer can execute arbitrary code on their local machine. A full blog post about how this vulnerability was uncovered can be found on [Socket's blog](https://socket.dev/blog/nestjs-rce-vuln). ## Details The `@nestjs/devtools-integration` package adds HTTP endpoints to a locally running NestJS development server. One of these endpoints, `/inspector/graph/interact`, accepts JSON input containing a `code` field and executes the provided code in a Node.js `vm.runInNewContext` sandbox. Key issues: 1. **Unsafe Sandbox:** The sandbox implementation closely resembles the abandoned `safe-eval` library. The No...
