Improper Access Control in GitHub repository openemr/openemr prior to 7.0.0.1.

On Windows, when registered to use a public key for computer authentication, the certificate is stored in a user accessible registry key leading to elevation of privilege.

The BlueSky Win32.Ransom.BlueSky ransomware looks for and executes arbitrary DLLs in its current working directory. Therefore, we can hijack a DLL, execute our own code, and control and terminate the malware pre-encryption. The exploit DLL checks if the current directory is "C:\Windows\System32" and if not we grab our own process ID and terminate. All basic tests were conducted successfully in a virtual machine environment.

A buffer overflow in the FTcpListener thread in The Isle Evrima (the dedicated server on Windows and Linux) 0.9.88.07 before 2022-08-12 allows a remote attacker to crash any server with an accessible RCON port, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Apache OpenOffice supports the storage of passwords for web connections in the user's configuration database. The stored passwords are encrypted with a single master key provided by the user. A flaw in OpenOffice existed where the required initialization vector for encryption was always the same which weakens the security of the encryption making them vulnerable if an attacker has access to the user's configuration data. This issue affects: Apache OpenOffice versions prior to 4.1.13. Reference: CVE-2022-26306 - LibreOffice
