#vulnerability

**According to the CVSS metric, Confidentiality and Integrity are rated as Low and Availability is None (C:L, I:L, A:N). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker is only able to comprise files that they were allowed access to as part of their initial privilege but cannot affect the availability of the browser.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Thursday placed a now-patched security flaw impacting the popular jQuery JavaScript library to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation. The medium-severity vulnerability is CVE-2020-11023 (CVSS score: 6.1/6.9), a nearly five-year-old cross-site scripting (XSS) bug that could be

Cross Site Scripting vulnerability in nbubna store v.2.14.2 and before allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the store.deep.js component

### Impact Directus allows an authenticated attacker to save cross site scripting code to the database. This is possible because the application injects an attacker-controlled parameter that will be stored in the server and used by the client into an unsanitized DOM element. When chained with [CVE-2024-6534](https://github.com/directus/directus/security/advisories/GHSA-3fff-gqw3-vj86), it could result in account takeover. ### PoC To exploit this vulnerability, we need to do the following steps using a non-administrative, default role attacker account. 1. Upload the following JavaScript file. Using the upload functionality at `POST /files`. This PoC will show an alert message. ```js export TARGET_HOST="http://localhost:8055" export ATTACKER_EMAIL="malicious@malicious.com" export ATTACKER_PASSWORD="123456" root_dir=$(dirname $0) mkdir "${root_dir}/static" curl -s -k -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" -X 'POST' "${TARGET_HOST}/auth/login" \ -c "${root_dir}/static/attacker_directus_se...

### Summary If an attacker can control the input to the asteval library, they can bypass its safety restrictions and execute arbitrary Python code within the application's context. ### Details The vulnerability is rooted in how `asteval` performs attribute access verification. In particular, the [`on_attribute`](https://github.com/lmfit/asteval/blob/8d7326df8015cf6a57506b1c2c167a1c3763e090/asteval/asteval.py#L565) node handler prevents access to attributes that are either present in the `UNSAFE_ATTRS` list or are formed by names starting and ending with `__`, as shown in the code snippet below: ```py def on_attribute(self, node): # ('value', 'attr', 'ctx') """Extract attribute.""" ctx = node.ctx.__class__ if ctx == ast.Store: msg = "attribute for storage: shouldn't be here!" self.raise_exception(node, exc=RuntimeError, msg=msg) sym = self.run(node.value) if ctx == ast.Del: return delattr(sym, node.at...

### Impact The `saveRequestFiles` function does not delete the uploaded temporary files when user cancels the request. ### Patches Fixed in version 8.3.1 and 9.0.3 ### Workarounds Do not use `saveRequestFiles`. ### References This was identified in https://github.com/fastify/fastify-multipart/issues/546 and fixed in https://github.com/fastify/fastify-multipart/pull/567.

The threat actors are abusing the vulnerabilities to gain initial access, obtain credentials, and install malicious scripts on user devices.
