GHSA-w228-rfpx-fhm4: cg vulnerable to an Open Redirect Vulnerability on Referer Header

### Summary A vulnerability has been discovered in the handling of the referrer header in the application, which could allow an attacker to conduct open redirects. The issue arises from improper validation of the referrer header in certain conditions. By manipulating the referrer header, an attacker could potentially redirect users to malicious websites, phishing pages, or other dangerous destinations. ### PoC If you change the referer header, you will be redirected to that domain without verifying. https://github.com/Clinical-Genomics/cg/blob/master/cg/server/invoices/views.py#L173 ### Impact An attacker exploiting this vulnerability could trick users into visiting malicious websites or disclose sensitive information by redirecting them to unintended destinations. This could lead to various attacks including phishing, malware distribution, or further exploitation of other vulnerabilities.

GHSA-rqgv-292v-5qgr: Renovate vulnerable to arbitrary command injection via helmv3 manager and registryAliases

### Summary Attackers with commit access to the default branch of a repo using Renovate could manipulate helmv3 registryAliases to execute arbitrary commands. ### Details Since [#26848](https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/pull/26848), `registryAliases` has become mergeable. This means that the helmv3 manager started honoring its value and uses a `helm repo add <key> <parameters>` command for each defined alias. See source code: https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/blob/23f3df6216375cb5bcfe027b0faee304f877f891/lib/modules/manager/helmv3/artifacts.ts#L80 The key was not quoted, leading to the ability to use variable references (`$FOO`) in it and have them printed by Renovate on the pull request, or even running any shell commands. ### PoC Inside a repository where Renovate runs, add a Helm chart with an outdated dependency, for example: test-chart/Chart.yaml: ``` apiVersion: v2 name: redis version: 1.0.0 dependencies: - name: redis version: 18.13.10 repository: oc...

GHSA-3mpf-rcc7-5347: Hono vulnerable to Restricted Directory Traversal in serveStatic with deno

### Summary When using serveStatic with deno, it is possible to directory traverse where main.ts is located. My environment is configured as per this tutorial https://hono.dev/getting-started/deno ### PoC ```bash $ tree . ├── deno.json ├── deno.lock ├── main.ts ├── README.md └── static └── a.txt ``` source ```jsx import { Hono } from 'https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts' import { serveStatic } from 'https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/middleware.ts' const app = new Hono() app.use('/static/*', serveStatic({ root: './' })) Deno.serve(app.fetch) ``` request ```bash curl localhost:8000/static/%2e%2e/main.ts ``` response is content of main.ts ### Impact Unexpected files are retrieved.

Nmap Port Scanner 7.95

Nmap is a utility for port scanning large networks, although it works fine for single hosts. Sometimes you need speed, other times you may need stealth. In some cases, bypassing firewalls may be required. Not to mention the fact that you may want to scan different protocols (UDP, TCP, ICMP, etc.). Nmap supports Vanilla TCP connect() scanning, TCP SYN (half open) scanning, TCP FIN, Xmas, or NULL (stealth) scanning, TCP ftp proxy (bounce attack) scanning, SYN/FIN scanning using IP fragments (bypasses some packet filters), TCP ACK and Window scanning, UDP raw ICMP port unreachable scanning, ICMP scanning (ping-sweep), TCP Ping scanning, Direct (non portmapper) RPC scanning, Remote OS Identification by TCP/IP Fingerprinting, and Reverse-ident scanning. Nmap also supports a number of performance and reliability features such as dynamic delay time calculations, packet timeout and retransmission, parallel port scanning, detection of down hosts via parallel pings.

FortiNet FortiClient EMS 7.2.2 / 7.0.10 SQL Injection / Remote Code Execution

A remote SQL injection vulnerability exists in FortiNet FortiClient EMS (Endpoint Management Server) versions 7.2.0 through 7.2.2 and 7.0.1 through 7.0.10. FortiClient EMS serves as an endpoint management solution tailored for enterprises, offering a centralized platform for overseeing enrolled endpoints. The SQL injection vulnerability is due to user controller strings which can be sent directly into database queries. FcmDaemon.exe is the main service responsible for communicating with enrolled clients. By default it listens on port 8013 and communicates with FCTDas.exe which is responsible for translating requests and sending them to the database. In the message header of a specific request sent between the two services, the FCTUID parameter is vulnerable to SQL injection. It can be used to enable the xp_cmdshell which can then be used to obtain unauthenticated remote code execution in the context of NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. Upgrading to either 7.2.3, 7.0.11 or above is recommended by Fo...
