GHSA-76h9-2vwh-w278: Apache MINA Deserialization RCE Vulnerability

The `ObjectSerializationDecoder` in Apache MINA uses Java’s native deserialization protocol to process incoming serialized data but lacks the necessary security checks and defenses. This vulnerability allows attackers to exploit the deserialization process by sending specially crafted malicious serialized data, potentially leading to remote code execution (RCE) attacks. This issue affects MINA core versions 2.0.X, 2.1.X and 2.2.X, and will be fixed by the releases 2.0.27, 2.1.10 and 2.2.4. It's also important to note that an application using MINA core library will only be affected if the IoBuffer#getObject() method is called, and this specific method is potentially called when adding a ProtocolCodecFilter instance using the `ObjectSerializationCodecFactory` class in the filter chain. If your application is specifically using those classes, you have to upgrade to the latest version of MINA core library. Upgrading will  not be enough: you also need to explicitly allow the classes th...

Apache Tomcat Vulnerability CVE-2024-56337 Exposes Servers to RCE Attacks

The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) has released a security update to address an important vulnerability in its Tomcat server software that could result in remote code execution (RCE) under certain conditions. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-56337, has been described as an incomplete mitigation for CVE-2024-50379 (CVSS score: 9.8), another critical security flaw in the same product that

ABB Cylon Aspect 3.08.02 (syslogUpdate.php) Remote Code Execution

The ABB BMS/BAS controller suffers from an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands through POST parameters, including REMOTE, IP1, IP2, IP3, IP4, and NAME, called by the syslogUpdate.php script.

ABB Cylon Aspect 3.08.02 (syslogUpdate.php) Remote Code Execution

The ABB BMS/BAS controller suffers from an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands through POST parameters, including REMOTE, IP1, IP2, IP3, IP4, and NAME, called by the syslogUpdate.php script.

GHSA-cvv5-9h9w-qp2m: Systeminformation has command injection vulnerability in getWindowsIEEE8021x (SSID)

### Summary The SSID is not sanitized when before it is passed as a parameter to cmd.exe in the `getWindowsIEEE8021x` function. This means that malicious content in the SSID can be executed as OS commands. ### Details I have exploited this vulnerability in a Windows service using version 5.22.11 of the module, to escalate privileges (in an environment where I am authorized to do so). However, as far as I can see from the code, it is still present in master branch at time of writing, on line [403/404 of network.js](https://github.com/sebhildebrandt/systeminformation/blob/3a92931c7d46605ffddc1aacb97a9727273b2888/lib/network.js#L403). The SSID is obtained from `netsh wlan show interface ...` in `getWindowsWirelessIfaceSSID`, and then passed to `cmd.exe /d /s /c "netsh wlan show profiles ...` in `getWindowsIEEE8021x`, without sanitization. ### PoC First, the command injection payload should be included in the connected Wi-Fi SSID. For example create hotspot on mobile phone or other lap...

Sophos Issues Hotfixes for Critical Firewall Flaws: Update to Prevent Exploitation

Sophos has released hotfixes to address three security flaws in Sophos Firewall products that could be exploited to achieve remote code execution and allow privileged system access under certain conditions. Of the three, two are rated Critical in severity. There is currently no evidence that the shortcomings have been exploited in the wild. The list of vulnerabilities is as follows -

Fortinet Addresses Unpatched Critical RCE Vector

Fortinet has patched CVE-2023-34990 in its Wireless LAN Manager (FortiWLM), which combined with CVE-2023-48782 could allow for unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) and the ability to read all log files.

Orgs Scramble to Fix Actively Exploited Bug in Apache Struts 2

A newly discovered vulnerability, CVE-2024-53677, in the aging Apache framework is going to cause major headaches for IT teams, since patching isn't enough to fix it.

GHSA-2p6p-9rc9-62j9: Craft CMS has potential RCE when PHP `register_argc_argv` config setting is enabled

### Impact You are affected if your php.ini configuration has `register_argc_argv` enabled. ### Patches Update to 4.13.2 or 5.5.2. ### Workarounds If you can't upgrade yet, and `register_argc_argv` is enabled, you can disable it to mitigate the issue.
