A problem with Candy Machine V2 allow minting NFTs to an arbitrary collection due to a missing check. Here is a description of the exploit: Details: Here is the tx/ix to exploit: Transaction: Ix 1: candy_machine v2, mint_nft, passing in empty metadata -1 Ix 2: custom handler, 0 cpi A --> token_metadata create_metadata_account, creates NFT cpi B --> candy_machine v2, set_collection_during_mint Ix 1 passes our first check for empty metadata, but eventually will hit a bot tax and return Ok. We do have a CPI check in this function but even if we hit that or moved it to the top, it returns Ok as a bot tax and still enables the issue. Ix 2, cpi A is Ok and mints an arbitrary NFT. Ix 2, cpi B checks the previous instruction using index_relative_to_current-1. This turns out to be Ix 1 which was Ok, so then your newly minted arbitrary NFT is successfully added to the collection. Conclusion: Candy machine could be out of NFTs and it still works. If the CM is closed, (we think?) it doesn'...

### Impact A privilege escalation issue exists within the Amazon CloudWatch Agent for Windows in versions up to and including v1.247354. When users trigger a repair of the Agent, a pop-up window opens with SYSTEM permissions. Users with administrative access to affected hosts may use this to create a new command prompt as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. To trigger this issue, the third party must be able to access the affected host and elevate their privileges such that they’re able to trigger the agent repair process. They must also be able to install the tools required to trigger the issue. This issue does not affect the CloudWatch Agent for macOS or Linux. ### Patches Maintainers recommend that Agent users upgrade to the latest available version of the CloudWatch Agent to address this issue. ### Workarounds There is no recommended work around. Affected users must update the installed version of the CloudWatch Agent to address this issue. ### References https://github.com/aws/amazon-c...
