GHSA-2452-6xj8-jh47: Opening a malicious website while running a Nuxt dev server could allow read-only access to code

### Summary Nuxt allows any websites to send any requests to the development server and read the response due to default CORS settings. ### Details While Vite patched the default CORS settings to fix https://github.com/vitejs/vite/security/advisories/GHSA-vg6x-rcgg-rjx6, nuxt uses its own CORS handler by default (https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/23995). https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/blob/7d345c71462d90187fd09c96c7692f306c90def5/packages/vite/src/client.ts#L257-L263 That CORS handler sets `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`. > [!IMPORTANT] > If on an affected version, it may be possible to opt-out of the default Nuxt CORS handler by configuring `vite.server.cors`. ### PoC 1. Start a dev server in any nuxt project using Vite by `nuxt dev`. 2. Send a fetch request to `http://localhost:3000/_nuxt/app.vue` (`fetch('http://localhost:3000/_nuxt/app.vue')`) from a different origin page. ### Impact Users with the default server.cors option using Vite builder may get the source code stolen ...

GHSA-4p5m-gvpf-f3x5: Apache Solr Relative Path Traversal vulnerability

Relative Path Traversal vulnerability in Apache Solr. Solr instances running on Windows are vulnerable to arbitrary filepath write-access, due to a lack of input-sanitation in the "configset upload" API.  Commonly known as a "zipslip", maliciously constructed ZIP files can use relative filepaths to write data to unanticipated parts of the filesystem.   This issue affects Apache Solr: from 6.6 through 9.7.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.8.0, which fixes the issue.  Users unable to upgrade may also safely prevent the issue by using Solr's "Rule-Based Authentication Plugin" to restrict access to the configset upload API, so that it can only be accessed by a trusted set of administrators/users.

GHSA-68r2-fwcg-qpm8: Apache Solr vulnerable to Execution with Unnecessary Privileges

Core creation allows users to replace "trusted" configset files with arbitrary configuration Solr instances that (1) use the "FileSystemConfigSetService" component (the default in "standalone" or "user-managed" mode), and (2) are running without authentication and authorization are vulnerable to a sort of privilege escalation wherein individual "trusted" configset files can be ignored in favor of potentially-untrusted replacements available elsewhere on the filesystem.  These replacement config files are treated as "trusted" and can use "<lib>" tags to add to Solr's classpath, which an attacker might use to load malicious code as a searchComponent or other plugin. This issue affects all Apache Solr versions up through Solr 9.7.  Users can protect against the vulnerability by enabling authentication and authorization on their Solr clusters or switching to SolrCloud (and away from "FileSystemConfigSetService").  Users are also recommended to upgrade to Solr 9.8.0, which mitigates this ...
