pac4j is a security framework for Java. `pac4j-core` prior to version 4.0.0 is affected by a Java deserialization vulnerability. The vulnerability affects systems that store externally controlled values in attributes of the `UserProfile` class from pac4j-core. It can be exploited by providing an attribute that contains a serialized Java object with a special prefix `{#sb64}` and Base64 encoding. This issue may lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE) in the worst case. Although a `RestrictedObjectInputStream` is in place, that puts some restriction on what classes can be deserialized, it still allows a broad range of java packages and potentially exploitable with different gadget chains. pac4j versions 4.0.0 and greater are not affected by this issue. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Threat detection tools yield too many false positives, security pros say, leading to burnout and resentment.

The company is beginning to bring its systems back online, though the investigation wages on.

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the api open_personality_folder endpoint of parisneo/lollms. This vulnerability allows an attacker to read any folder in the personality_folder on the victim's computer, even though sanitize_path is set. The issue arises due to improper sanitization of the personality_folder parameter, which can be exploited to traverse directories and access arbitrary files.

angular-base64-upload versions prior to v0.1.21 are vulnerable to unauthenticated remote code execution via the `angular-base64-upload/demo/server.php` endpoint. Exploitation of this vulnerability involves uploading arbitrary file content to the server, which can subsequently accessed through the `angular-base64-upload/demo/uploads` endpoint. This leads to the execution of previously uploaded content which enables the attacker to achieve code execution on the server. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

DOMpurify was vulnerable to nesting-based mXSS fixed by [0ef5e537](https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify/tree/0ef5e537a514f904b6aa1d7ad9e749e365d7185f) (2.x) and [merge 943](https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify/pull/943) Backporter should be aware of GHSA-mmhx-hmjr-r674 (CVE-2024-45801) when cherry-picking POC is avaible under [test](https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify/blob/0ef5e537a514f904b6aa1d7ad9e749e365d7185f/test/test-suite.js#L2098)
