### Summary An authenticated attacker can create dangerous directory names on the system and alter sensitive configuration parameters through the web portal. Those two defects combined then allows to inject arbitrary OS commands inside `shell_exec()` calls, thus achieving arbitrary code execution. ### Details #### OS Command Injection We start by inspecting the file `app/Http/Controllers/AboutController.php`, more particularly the index() method which is executed upon simply visiting the /about page: ```php public function index(Request $request) { $version = Version::get(); return view('about.index', [ <TRUNCATED> 'version_webserver' => $request->server('SERVER_SOFTWARE'), 'version_rrdtool' => Rrd::version(), 'version_netsnmp' => str_replace('version: ', '', rtrim(shell_exec(Config::get('snmpget', 'snmpget') . ' -V 2>&1'))), <TRUNCATED> ]); } ``` We can see that the `version_netsnmp` key re...

Ubuntu Security Notice 7112-1 - It was discovered that the GD Graphics Library did not perform proper bounds checking while handling BMP and WebP files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7110-1 - Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in usememos/memos version 0.9.1. This vulnerability allows an attacker to upload a JavaScript file containing a malicious script and reference it in an HTML file. When the HTML file is accessed, the malicious script is executed. This can lead to the theft of sensitive information, such as login credentials, from users visiting the affected website. The issue has been fixed in version 0.10.0.

A vulnerability in janeczku/calibre-web allows unauthorized users to view the names of private shelves belonging to other users. This issue occurs in the file shelf.py at line 221, where the name of the shelf is exposed in an error message when a user attempts to remove a book from a shelf they do not own. This vulnerability discloses private information and affects all versions prior to the fix.

A Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in janeczku/calibre-web, specifically in the file `edit_books.js`. The vulnerability occurs when editing book properties, such as uploading a cover or a format. The affected code directly inserts user input into the DOM without proper sanitization, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code. This can lead to various attacks, including stealing cookies. The issue is present in the code handling the `#btn-upload-cover` change event.

An improper access control vulnerability exists in janeczku/calibre-web. The affected version allows users without public shelf permissions to create public shelves. The vulnerability is due to the `create_shelf` method in `shelf.py` not verifying if the user has the necessary permissions to create a public shelf. This issue can lead to unauthorized actions being performed by users.
