### Summary The esm.sh CDN service contains a Template Literal Injection vulnerability (CWE-94) in its CSS-to-JavaScript module conversion feature. When a CSS file is requested with the `?module` query parameter, esm.sh converts it to a JavaScript module by embedding the CSS content directly into a template literal without proper sanitization. An attacker can inject malicious JavaScript code using `${...}` expressions within CSS files, which will execute when the module is imported by victim applications. This enables Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in browsers and Remote Code Execution (RCE) in Electron applications. **Root Cause:** The CSS module conversion logic (`router.go:1112-1119`) performs incomplete sanitization - it only checks for backticks (\`) but fails to escape template literal expressions (`${...}`), allowing arbitrary JavaScript execution when the CSS content is inserted into a template literal string. ### Details **File:** `server/router.go` **Lines:** 1112-1119 ...

### Summary The esm.sh CDN service is vulnerable to a Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability during NPM package tarball extraction. An attacker can craft a malicious NPM package containing specially crafted file paths (e.g., `package/../../tmp/evil.js`). When esm.sh downloads and extracts this package, files may be written to arbitrary locations on the server, escaping the intended extraction directory. Uploading files containing `../` in the path is not allowed on official registries (npm, GitHub), but the `X-Npmrc` header allows specifying any arbitrary registry. By setting the registry to an attacker-controlled server via the `X-Npmrc` header, this vulnerability can be triggered. ### Details **file:** `server/npmrc.go` **line:** 552-567 ```go func extractPackageTarball(installDir string, pkgName string, tarball io.Reader) (err error) { pkgDir := path.Join(installDir, "node_modules", pkgName) tr := tar.NewReader(unziped) for { h, err := tr.Next...

## Summary When using Astro's Cloudflare adapter (@astrojs/cloudflare) with `output: 'server'`, the image optimization endpoint (`/_image`) contains a critical vulnerability in the `isRemoteAllowed()` function that unconditionally allows `data:` protocol URLs. This enables Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks through malicious SVG payloads, bypassing domain restrictions and Content Security Policy protections. ## Details On-demand rendered sites built with Astro include an `/_image` endpoint for image optimization. While this endpoint is designed to restrict processing to local images and authorized remote domains (configured via `image.domains` or `image.remotePatterns`), a critical vulnerability exists in the underlying validation logic. The `isRemoteAllowed()` function in [packages/internal-helpers/src/remote.ts](https://github.com/withastro/astro/blob/b8ca69b97149becefaf89bf21853de9c905cdbb7/packages/internal-helpers/src/remote.ts) (lines 128-131) unconditionally allows ALL `data...

### Summary A vulnerability has been identified in the Astro framework's development server that allows arbitrary local file read access through the image optimization endpoint. The vulnerability affects Astro development environments and allows remote attackers to read any image file accessible to the Node.js process on the host system. ### Details - **Title**: Arbitrary Local File Read in Astro Development Image Endpoint - **Type**: CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') - **Component**: `/packages/astro/src/assets/endpoint/node.ts` - **Affected Versions**: Astro v5.x development builds (confirmed v5.13.3) - **Attack Vector**: Network (HTTP GET request) - **Authentication Required**: None The vulnerability exists in the Node.js image endpoint handler used during development mode. The endpoint accepts an `href` parameter that specifies the path to an image file. In development mode, this parameter is processed without adequate path val...

A recently disclosed security flaw impacting 7-Zip has come under active exploitation in the wild, according to an advisory issued by the U.K. NHS England Digital on Tuesday. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2025-11001 (CVSS score: 7.0), which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. It has been addressed in 7-Zip version 25.00 released in July 2025. "The specific flaw exists

Two FortiWeb vulnerabilities, including a critical unauthenticated bypass (CVE-2025-64446), are under attack. Check logs for rogue admin accounts and upgrade immediately.

An intermittent outage at Cloudflare on Tuesday briefly knocked many of the Internet's top destinations offline. Some affected Cloudflare customers were able to pivot away from the platform temporarily so that visitors could still access their websites. But security experts say doing so may have also triggered an impromptu network penetration test for organizations that have come to rely on Cloudflare to block many types of abusive and malicious traffic.

A newly discovered campaign has compromised tens of thousands of outdated or end-of-life (EoL) ASUS routers worldwide, predominantly in Taiwan, the U.S., and Russia, to rope them into a massive network. The router hijacking activity has been codenamed Operation WrtHug by SecurityScorecard's STRIKE team. Southeast Asia and European countries are some of the other regions where infections have
