### Summary The esm.sh CDN service contains a Template Literal Injection vulnerability (CWE-94) in its CSS-to-JavaScript module conversion feature. When a CSS file is requested with the `?module` query parameter, esm.sh converts it to a JavaScript module by embedding the CSS content directly into a template literal without proper sanitization. An attacker can inject malicious JavaScript code using `${...}` expressions within CSS files, which will execute when the module is imported by victim applications. This enables Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in browsers and Remote Code Execution (RCE) in Electron applications. **Root Cause:** The CSS module conversion logic (`router.go:1112-1119`) performs incomplete sanitization - it only checks for backticks (\`) but fails to escape template literal expressions (`${...}`), allowing arbitrary JavaScript execution when the CSS content is inserted into a template literal string. ### Details **File:** `server/router.go` **Lines:** 1112-1119 ...

### Summary The esm.sh CDN service is vulnerable to a Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability during NPM package tarball extraction. An attacker can craft a malicious NPM package containing specially crafted file paths (e.g., `package/../../tmp/evil.js`). When esm.sh downloads and extracts this package, files may be written to arbitrary locations on the server, escaping the intended extraction directory. Uploading files containing `../` in the path is not allowed on official registries (npm, GitHub), but the `X-Npmrc` header allows specifying any arbitrary registry. By setting the registry to an attacker-controlled server via the `X-Npmrc` header, this vulnerability can be triggered. ### Details **file:** `server/npmrc.go` **line:** 552-567 ```go func extractPackageTarball(installDir string, pkgName string, tarball io.Reader) (err error) { pkgDir := path.Join(installDir, "node_modules", pkgName) tr := tar.NewReader(unziped) for { h, err := tr.Next...

## Summary When using Astro's Cloudflare adapter (@astrojs/cloudflare) with `output: 'server'`, the image optimization endpoint (`/_image`) contains a critical vulnerability in the `isRemoteAllowed()` function that unconditionally allows `data:` protocol URLs. This enables Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks through malicious SVG payloads, bypassing domain restrictions and Content Security Policy protections. ## Details On-demand rendered sites built with Astro include an `/_image` endpoint for image optimization. While this endpoint is designed to restrict processing to local images and authorized remote domains (configured via `image.domains` or `image.remotePatterns`), a critical vulnerability exists in the underlying validation logic. The `isRemoteAllowed()` function in [packages/internal-helpers/src/remote.ts](https://github.com/withastro/astro/blob/b8ca69b97149becefaf89bf21853de9c905cdbb7/packages/internal-helpers/src/remote.ts) (lines 128-131) unconditionally allows ALL `data...

## Summary After some research it appears that it is possible to obtain a reflected XSS when the server islands feature is used in the targeted application, **regardless of what was intended by the component template(s)**. ## Details Server islands run in their own isolated context outside of the page request and use the following pattern path to hydrate the page: `/_server-islands/[name]`. These paths can be called via GET or POST and use three parameters: - `e`: component to export - `p`: the transmitted properties, encrypted - `s`: for the slots Slots are placeholders for external HTML content, and therefore allow, by default, the injection of code if the component template supports it, nothing exceptional in principle, just a feature. This is where it becomes problematic: it is possible, independently of the component template used, even if it is completely empty, to inject a slot containing an XSS payload, whose parent is a tag whose name is is the absolute path of the island ...

An intermittent outage at Cloudflare on Tuesday briefly knocked many of the Internet's top destinations offline. Some affected Cloudflare customers were able to pivot away from the platform temporarily so that visitors could still access their websites. But security experts say doing so may have also triggered an impromptu network penetration test for organizations that have come to rely on Cloudflare to block many types of abusive and malicious traffic.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ("Cross-site Scripting") vulnerability in Drupal Simple multi step form allows Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).This issue affects Simple multi step form: from 0.0.0 before 2.0.0.

## Summary A Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in the LibreNMS application at the `/maps/nodeimage` endpoint. The `Image Name` parameter is reflected in the HTTP response without proper output encoding or sanitization, allowing an attacker to craft a URL that, when visited by a victim, causes arbitrary JavaScript execution in the victim’s browser. ## Details - **Vulnerable Endpoint:** `GET /maps/nodeimage` - **Parameter:** `Image Name` (reflected in response) - **Vulnerability type:** Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) — input is reflected in server response and executed in victim browser. - **CWE:** CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation — Cross-site Scripting) ## Description The application takes the value of the `Image Name` parameter from a request to `/maps/nodeimage` and includes it in the generated page or response without proper contextual encoding. Because the input is reflected immediately...
