Incorrect Usage of Seeds in Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) vulnerability in Apache Cocoon. This issue affects Apache Cocoon: all versions. When a continuation is created, it gets a random identifier. Because the random number generator used to generate these identifiers was seeded with the startup time, it may not have been sufficiently unpredictable, and an attacker could use this to guess continuation ids and look up continuations they should not have had access to. As a mitigation, you may enable the "session-bound-continuations" option to make sure continuations are not shared across sessions. As this project is retired, we do not plan to release a version that fixes this issue. Users are recommended to find an alternative or restrict access to the instance to trusted users. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

Relative Path Traversal vulnerability in Apache Solr. Solr instances running on Windows are vulnerable to arbitrary filepath write-access, due to a lack of input-sanitation in the "configset upload" API.  Commonly known as a "zipslip", maliciously constructed ZIP files can use relative filepaths to write data to unanticipated parts of the filesystem.   This issue affects Apache Solr: from 6.6 through 9.7.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.8.0, which fixes the issue.  Users unable to upgrade may also safely prevent the issue by using Solr's "Rule-Based Authentication Plugin" to restrict access to the configset upload API, so that it can only be accessed by a trusted set of administrators/users.

Core creation allows users to replace "trusted" configset files with arbitrary configuration Solr instances that (1) use the "FileSystemConfigSetService" component (the default in "standalone" or "user-managed" mode), and (2) are running without authentication and authorization are vulnerable to a sort of privilege escalation wherein individual "trusted" configset files can be ignored in favor of potentially-untrusted replacements available elsewhere on the filesystem.  These replacement config files are treated as "trusted" and can use "<lib>" tags to add to Solr's classpath, which an attacker might use to load malicious code as a searchComponent or other plugin. This issue affects all Apache Solr versions up through Solr 9.7.  Users can protect against the vulnerability by enabling authentication and authorization on their Solr clusters or switching to SolrCloud (and away from "FileSystemConfigSetService").  Users are also recommended to upgrade to Solr 9.8.0, which mitigates this ...

The request handling in the core in Apache Wicket 7.0.0 on any platform allows an attacker to create a DOS via multiple requests to server resources. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 9.19.0 or 10.3.0, which fixes this issue.

SSRF vulnerability in Edit Service Page of Apache Ranger UI in Apache Ranger Version 2.4.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version Apache Ranger 2.5.0, which fixes this issue.

A potential denial of service vulnerability is present in versions of Apache CXF before 3.5.10, 3.6.5 and 4.0.6. In some edge cases, the CachedOutputStream instances may not be closed and, if backed by temporary files, may fill up the file system (it applies to servers and clients).

I have finalized the list of trending vulnerabilities for 2024 according to Positive Technologies. Last year, 74 vulnerabilities were classified as trending (to compare the scale, just over 40,000 were added to NVD in 2024). All trending vulnerabilities are found in Western commercial products and open source projects. This year, the vulnerabilities of domestic Russian […]

January Linux Patch Wednesday. Out of 424 total vulnerabilities, 271 are in the Linux Kernel. None show signs of exploitation in the wild, but 9 have public exploits. 🔸 RCE – Apache Tomcat (CVE-2024-56337). Based on the description, the vulnerability affects “case-insensitive file systems” like Windows or MacOS. However, Debian lists it as affecting tomcat9 […]

# Affected versions: - Apache Linkis Metadata Query Service JDBC 1.5.0 before 1.7.0 # Description: In Apache Linkis <1.7.0, due to the lack of effective filtering of parameters, an attacker configuring malicious Mysql JDBC parameters in the DataSource Manager Module will allow the attacker to read arbitrary files from the Linkis server. Therefore, the parameters in the Mysql JDBC URL should be blacklisted. This attack requires the attacker to obtain an authorized account from Linkis before it can be carried out. Versions of Apache Linkis < 1.6.0 will be affected. We recommend users upgrade the version of Linkis to version 1.7.0.

The ABB BMS/BAS controller suffers from an authenticated stored cross-site scripting vulnerability. Input passed to the 'host' POST parameter is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML/JS code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
