### Summary A security vulnerability has been identified in `go-gh` where an attacker-controlled GitHub Enterprise Server could result in executing arbitrary commands on a user's machine by replacing HTTP URLs provided by GitHub with local file paths for browsing. ### Details The GitHub CLI and CLI extensions allow users to transition from their terminal for a variety of use cases through the [`Browser` capability in `github.com/cli/go-gh/v2/pkg/browser`](https://github.com/cli/go-gh/blob/61bf393cf4aeea6d00a6251390f5f67f5b67e727/pkg/browser/browser.go): - Using the `-w, --web` flag, GitHub CLI users can view GitHub repositories, issues, pull requests, and more using their web browser - Using the `gh codespace` command set, GitHub CLI users can transition to Visual Studio Code to work with GitHub Codespaces This is done by using URLs provided through API responses from authenticated GitHub hosts when users execute `gh` commands. Prior to `2.12.1`, `Browser.Browse()` would attempt...
Mattermost versions 10.7.x <= 10.7.0, 10.5.x <= 10.5.3, 9.11.x <= 9.11.12 fails to properly enforce access control restrictions for System Manager roles, allowing authenticated users with System Manager privileges to view team details they should not have access to via direct API requests to team endpoints, even when explicitly configured with 'No access' to Teams in the System Console.
Mattermost versions 10.7.x <= 10.7.0, 10.6.x <= 10.6.2, 10.5.x <= 10.5.3, 9.11.x <= 9.11.12 fails to properly invalidate personal access tokens upon user deactivation, allowing deactivated users to maintain full system access by exploiting access token validation flaws via continued usage of previously issued tokens.
Mattermost versions 10.7.x <= 10.7.0, 10.5.x <= 10.5.3, 9.11.x <= 9.11.12 fail to properly enforce access controls for guest users accessing channel member information, allowing authenticated guest users to view metadata about members of public channels via the channel members API endpoint.

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in multiple WSO2 products due to a business logic flaw in SOAP admin services. A malicious actor can create a new user with elevated permissions only when all of the following conditions are met: * SOAP admin services are accessible to the attacker. * The deployment includes an internally used attribute that is not part of the default WSO2 product configuration. * At least one custom role exists with non-default permissions. * The attacker has knowledge of the custom role and the internal attribute used in the deployment. Exploiting this vulnerability allows malicious actors to assign higher privileges to self-registered users, bypassing intended access control mechanisms.
A new malware campaign is distributing a novel Rust-based information stealer dubbed EDDIESTEALER using the popular ClickFix social engineering tactic initiated via fake CAPTCHA verification pages. "This campaign leverages deceptive CAPTCHA verification pages that trick users into executing a malicious PowerShell script, which ultimately deploys the infostealer, harvesting sensitive data such as
