Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-1880-03 - An update for the nodejs:18 module is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 Extended Update Support. Issues addressed include denial of service and privilege escalation vulnerabilities.

### Summary A stored XSS vulnerability in Excalidraw's web embeddable component. This allows arbitrary JavaScript to be run in the context of the domain where the editor is hosted. ### Poc Inserting an embed with the below url (can be copy/pasted onto canvas to insert as embed) will log `42` to the console: ``` https://gist.github.com/vv=v<script>console.log(42)</script> ``` ### Details There were two vectors. One rendering untrusted string as iframe's `srcdoc` without properly sanitizing against HTML injection. Second by improperly sanitizing against attribute HTML injection. This in conjunction with allowing `allow-same-origin` sandbox flag (necessary for several embeds) resulted in the XSS. Former was fixed by no longer rendering unsafe `srcdoc` content verbatim, and instead strictly parsing the supplied content and constructing the `srcdoc` manually. The latter by sanitizing properly. The `allow-same-origin` flag is now also set only in cases that require it, following the...

Ubuntu Security Notice 6735-1 - It was discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled the use of invalid public keys while creating an x509 certificate. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.10. It was discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled the use of CRLF sequences to delimit HTTP requests. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain unauthorised access. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.10.

Amazon AWS Amplify CLI before 12.10.1 incorrectly configures the role trust policy of IAM roles associated with Amplify projects. When the Authentication component is removed from an Amplify project, a Condition property is removed but "Effect":"Allow" remains present, and consequently sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity would be available to threat actors with no conditions. Thus, if Amplify CLI had been used to remove the Authentication component from a project built between August 2019 and January 2024, an "assume role" may have occurred, and may have been leveraged to obtain unauthorized access to an organization's AWS resources. NOTE: the problem could only occur if an authorized AWS user removed an Authentication component. (The vulnerability did not give a threat actor the ability to remove an Authentication component.) However, in realistic situations, an authorized AWS user may have removed an Authentication component, e.g., if the objective were to stop using built-in Cognito resou...

Much of the open source code embedded in enterprise software stacks comes from small, under-resourced, volunteer-run projects.

### Impact When invoking a capability with a chain depth of 2, i.e., it is delegated directly from the root capability, the `expires` property is not properly checked against the current date or other `date` param. This can allow invocations outside of the original intended time period. A zcap still cannot be invoked without being able to use the associated private key material. ### Patches `@digitalbazaar/zcap` v9.0.1 fixes expiration checking. ### Workarounds A zcap could be revoked at any time. ### References https://github.com/digitalbazaar/zcap/pull/82
