Cisco Talos examined several frequently used code repositories. We looked specifically at the security afforded to developer accounts, and how difficult it would be for an attacker to take over a developer account.

By Jaeson Schultz. Over the past several years, high-profile software supply chain attacks have increased in frequency. These attacks can be difficult to detect and source code repositories became a key focus of this research. Developer account takeovers present a substantial risk to the software supply chain because attackers who successfully compromise a developer account could conceal malicious code in software packages used by others. Talos analyzed several of the major software repositories to assess the level of developer account security, focusing specifically on whether developer accounts could be recovered by re-registering expired domain names and triggering password resets. Many software repositories have already begun taking steps to enhance the security of developer accounts. Talos has identified additional areas where the security of developer accounts could be improved. Talos worked with vulnerable repositories to resolve issues that we found. Software supply chain att...

Affected firms alerted to bug whose potential impact is heightened by vm2’s use in production environments

Snyk CLI before 1.996.0 allows arbitrary command execution, affecting Snyk IDE plugins and the snyk npm package. Exploitation could follow from the common practice of viewing untrusted files in the Visual Studio Code editor, for example. The original demonstration was with shell metacharacters in the vendor.json ignore field, affecting snyk-go-plugin before 1.19.1. This affects, for example, the Snyk TeamCity plugin (which does not update automatically) before 20220930.142957.

SonicJS through 0.6.0 allows file overwrite. It has the following mutations that are used for updating files: fileCreate and fileUpdate. Both of these mutations can be called without any authentication to overwrite any files on a SonicJS application, leading to Arbitrary File Write and Delete.

### Impact If the untrusted v8 cached data is passed to the API through CachedDataOptions, the attackers can bypass the sandbox and run arbitrary code in the nodejs process. There are currently no known fixed versions or workarounds.

Joplin version 2.8.8 allows an external attacker to execute arbitrary commands remotely on any client that opens a link in a malicious markdown file, via Joplin. This is possible because the application does not properly validate the schema/protocol of existing links in the markdown file before passing them to the 'shell.openExternal' function.
