Decade-Old Cisco Vulnerability Under Active Exploit

Cisco encourages users to update to an unaffected version of its Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) software since there are no workarounds for the 2014 vulnerability.

GHSA-5jc6-h9w7-jm3p: Mobile Security Framework (MobSF) Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in "Diff or Compare" Functionality

### Summary The application allows users to upload files with scripts in the filename parameter. As a result, a malicious user can upload a script file to the system. When users in the application use the "Diff or Compare" functionality, they are affected by a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. ### Details I found a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in the "Diff or Compare" functionality. This issue occurs because the upload functionality allows users to upload files with special characters such as <, >, /, and " in the filename. This vulnerability can be mitigated by restricting file uploads to filenames containing only whitelisted characters, such as A-Z, 0-9, and specific special characters permitted by business requirements, like - or _ . ### PoC _Complete instructions, including specific configuration details, to reproduce the vulnerability._ 1. On MobSF version 4.2.8, I clicked on "Unload & Analyze" button. ![0](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/489013...

GHSA-56w4-5538-8v8h: Synapse Matrix has a partial room state leak via Sliding Sync

### Impact The Sliding Sync feature on Synapse versions between 1.113.0rc1 and 1.120.0 can leak partial room state changes to users no longer in a room. Non-state events, like messages, are unaffected. ### Patches Synapse version 1.120.1 fixes the problem. ### Workarounds Disable Sliding Sync. ### References https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4186 https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/blob/d80cd57c54427687afcb48740d99219c88a0fff1/synapse/config/experimental.py#L341-L344 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, please email us at [security at element.io](mailto:security@element.io).

GHSA-vp6v-whfm-rv3g: Synapse can be forced to thumbnail unexpected file formats, invoking external, potentially untrustworthy decoders

### Impact In Synapse versions before 1.120.1, enabling the `dynamic_thumbnails` option or processing a specially crafted request could trigger the decoding and thumbnail generation of uncommon image formats, potentially invoking external tools like Ghostscript for processing. This significantly expands the attack surface in a historically vulnerable area, presenting a risk that far outweighs the benefit, particularly since these formats are rarely used on the open web or within the Matrix ecosystem. For a list of image formats, as well as decoding libraries and helper programs used, see [the Pillow documentation](https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/handbook/image-file-formats.html). ### Patches Synapse 1.120.1 addresses the issue by restricting thumbnail generation to images in the following widely used formats: PNG, JPEG, GIF, and WebP. ### Workarounds - Ensure any image codecs and helper programs, such as Ghostscript, are patched against security vulnerabilities. - Uninst...

GHSA-f3r3-h2mq-hx2h: Synapse allows a a malformed invite to break the invitee's `/sync`

### Impact Synapse versions before 1.120.1 fail to properly validate invites received over federation. This vulnerability allows a malicious server to send a specially crafted invite that disrupts the invited user's `/sync` functionality. ### Patches Synapse 1.120.1 rejects such invalid invites received over federation and restores the ability to sync for affected users. ### Workarounds Server administrators can disable federation from untrusted servers. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, please email us at [security at element.io](mailto:security@element.io).
