#vulnerability

Prior to Opencast 17.8 and 18.2 the paella would include and render some user inputs (metadata like title, description, etc.) unfiltered and unmodified. ### Impact The vulnerability allows attackers to inject and malicious HTML and JavaScript in the player, which would then be executed in the browsers of users watching the prepared media. This can then be used to modify the site or to execute actions in the name of logged-in users. To inject malicious metadata, an attacker needs write access to the system. For example, the ability to upload media and modify metadata. This cannot be exploited by unauthenticated users. ### Patches This issue is fixed in Opencast 17.8 and 18.2, however they are not published to the Maven registry. ### Resources - [Patch fixing the issue](https://github.com/opencast/opencast/commit/2809520fa88d108d8104c760f00c10bad42c14f9) ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [our issue tracker](htt...

### Summary A file upload vulnerability in FlowiseAI allows authenticated users to upload arbitrary files without proper validation. This enables attackers to persistently store malicious Node.js web shells on the server, potentially leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE). ### Details The system fails to validate file extensions, MIME types, or file content during uploads. As a result, malicious scripts such as Node.js-based web shells can be uploaded and stored persistently on the server. These shells expose HTTP endpoints capable of executing arbitrary commands if triggered. The uploaded shell does not automatically execute, but its presence allows future exploitation via administrator error or chained vulnerabilities. #### Taint Flow - **Taint 01: Route Registration** `POST` file requests are routed to the controller via Multer https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise/blob/d29db16bfcf9a4be8febc3d19d52263e8c3d0055/packages/server/src/routes/attachments/index.ts#L8 - **Taint ...

### Impact Lack of validation for device keys in Synapse before 1.138.3 and in Synapse 1.139.0 allow an attacker registered on the victim homeserver to degrade federation functionality, unpredictably breaking outbound federation to other homeservers. ### Patches Patched in Synapse 1.138.3, 1.138.4, 1.139.1, and 1.139.2. Note that even though 1.138.3 and 1.139.1 fix the vulnerability, they inadvertently introduced an unrelated regression. For this reason, it is recommend to skip these releases and upgrading straight to 1.138.4 and 1.139.2. ### Workarounds The vulnerability can only be exploited by users registered on the victim homeserver.

Met Police arrested two teenagers over the Kido nursery ransomware attack, which exposed data for 8,000 children. Full details on the hack and police investigation.

### Impact A memory safety vulnerability was present in the Fuel Virtual Machine (FuelVM), where memory reads could bypass expected access controls. Specifically, when a smart contract performed a `mload` (or other opcodes which access memory) on memory that had been deallocated using `ret`, it was still able to access the old memory contents. This occurred because the memory region was not zeroed out or otherwise marked as invalid. As a result, smart contracts could potentially read sensitive data left over from other contracts if the same memory was reallocated, violating isolation guarantees between contracts and enabling unintended data leakage. All users running affected versions of FuelVM that relied on strict memory isolation between smart contracts were impacted. ### Patches The vulnerability was patched by modifying the FuelVM to ensure that memory deallocated with `ret` was zeroed out or made inaccessible. The fix was included in FuelVM version `v0.60.1` and back-ported t...
