### Summary OpenMage versions v20.15.0 and earlier are affected by a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability that could be abused by an admin with direct database access or the admin notification feed source to inject malicious scripts into vulnerable fields. Malicious JavaScript may be executed in a victim’s browser when they browse to the page containing the vulnerable field. ### Details Unescaped translation strings and URLs are printed into contexts inside `app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Notification/Grid/Renderer/Actions.php`. A malicious translation or polluted data can inject script. - Link labels use __() without escaping. - ’deleteConfirm()’ embeds a message without escaping. ### PoC 1. Add XSS to admin locale (e.g. app/locale/en_US/local.csv): ``` "Read Details","<img src=x onerror=alert(123)>" "Mark as Read","<script>alert(123)</script>" ``` 2. Flush Cache. Make sure locale is set to en_US. 3. Add any admin notification (e.g. via test.php) ...

### Impact Due to insufficient access-level checks, any non-admin user having access to _manage_config_columns_page.php_ (typically project managers having MANAGER role) can use the _Copy From_ action to retrieve the columns configuration from a private project they have no access to. Access to the reverse operation (_Copy To_) is correctly controlled, i.e. it is not possible to alter the private project's configuration. ### Patches The vulnerability will be fixed in MantisBT version 2.27.2. ### Workarounds None ### Credits Thanks to [d3vpoo1](https://github.com/jrckmcsb) for reporting the issue.

When a user edits their profile to change their e-mail address, the system saves it without validating that it actually belongs to the user. ### Impact This could result in storing an invalid email address, preventing the user from receiving system notifications. Notifications sent to another person's email address could lead to information disclosure. ### Patches Fixed in 2.27.2. ### Workarounds None ### Credits Thanks to @ncrcs for discovering and reporting the issue.

Due to an incorrect use of loose (`==`) instead of strict (`===`) comparison in the [authentication code][1], PHP type juggling will cause interpretation of certain MD5 hashes as numbers, specifically those matching scientific notation. [1]: https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/blob/0fb502dd613991e892ed2224ac5ea3e40ba632bc/core/authentication_api.php#L782 ### Impact On MantisBT instances configured to use the *MD5* login method, user accounts having a password hash evaluating to zero (i.e. matching regex `^0+[Ee][0-9]+$`) are vulnerable, allowing an attacker knowing the victim's username to login without knowledge of their actual password, using any other password having a hash evaluating to zero, for example `comito5` (0e579603064547166083907005281618). No password bruteforcing for individual users is needed, thus $g_max_failed_login_count does not protect against the attack. ### Patches Fixed in 2.27.2. ### Workarounds Check the database for vulnerable accounts, and change tho...

The EVE X1 server uses a weak set of default administrative credentials that can be found and used to gain full control of the system.

Infamous botnets like Mirai are exploiting Web-exposed assets such as PHP servers, IoT devices, and cloud gateways to gain control over systems and build strength.

Cybersecurity researchers are calling attention to a spike in automated attacks targeting PHP servers, IoT devices, and cloud gateways by various botnets such as Mirai, Gafgyt, and Mozi. "These automated campaigns exploit known CVE vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations to gain control over exposed systems and expand botnet networks," the Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU) said in a report

Security, trust, and stability — once the pillars of our digital world — are now the tools attackers turn against us. From stolen accounts to fake job offers, cybercriminals keep finding new ways to exploit both system flaws and human behavior. Each new breach proves a harsh truth: in cybersecurity, feeling safe can be far more dangerous than being alert. Here’s how that false sense of security
