DataHub is an open-source metadata platform. The DataHub frontend acts as a proxy able to forward any REST or GraphQL requests to the backend. The goal of this proxy is to perform authentication if needed and forward HTTP requests to the DataHub Metadata Store (GMS). It has been discovered that the proxy does not adequately construct the URL when forwarding data to GMS, allowing external users to reroute requests from the DataHub Frontend to any arbitrary hosts. As a result attackers may be able to reroute a request from originating from the frontend proxy to any other server and return the result. This vulnerability was discovered and reported by the GitHub Security lab and is tracked as GHSL-2022-076.

Wyse Management Suite 3.8 and below contain an improper access control vulnerability. A authenticated malicious admin user can edit general client policy for which the user is not authorized.

### Summary Because of the missing `checkLink(String)` override in the SecurityManager, students can load libraries and execute arbitrary code. ### Details Using `System.load(String)` or `System.loadLibrary​(String)` students can load and execute arbitrary code. ```java private static native void start(List<String> args); public static void main(String[] args) { System.load(new File("path_to_lib.so").getAbsolutePath()); start(List.of(args)); } ``` Adding this to the security manager (and a translation) should fix the issue: ```java @Override public void checkExec(String cmd) { try { if (enterPublicInterface()) return; throw new SecurityException(localized("security.error_link")); //$NON-NLS-1$ } finally { exitPublicInterface(); } } ``` ### PoC See details. ### Impact Arbitrary code execution.
