FIPS 140-3 changes for PKCS #12

With the planned release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10 in 2025, the PKCS #12 (Public-Key Cryptography Standards #12) files created in FIPS mode now use Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) cryptography by default. In other words, PKCS #12 files allow for backup or easy transfer of keying material between RHEL systems using FIPS approved algorithms.What are PKCS #12 files?PKCS #12 is currently defined by RFC 7292 and is a format for storing and transferring private keys, certificates, and miscellaneous secrets. Typically, PKCS #12 is used for transferring private RSA, EdDSA, o

GHSA-c479-wq8g-57hr: Pterodactyl Panel has plain-text logging of user passwords when two-factor authentication is disabled

### Impact When a user disables two-factor authentication via the Panel, a `DELETE` request with their current password in a query parameter will be sent. While query parameters are encrypted when using TLS, many webservers (including ones officially documented for use with Pterodactyl) will log query parameters in plain-text, storing a user's password in plain text. If a malicious user obtains access to these logs they could *potentially* authenticate against a user's account; assuming they are able to discover the account's email address or username **separately**. ### Patches This problem has been patched by <https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/commit/8be2b892c3940bdc0157ccdab16685a72d105dd1> on the `1.0-develop` branch and released under `v1.11.8` as a single commit on top of `v1.11.7` <https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/commit/75b59080e2812ced677dab516222b2a3bb34e3a4> Patch file: <https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/commit/8be2b892c3940bdc0157ccdab16685a72d105dd1.patch> ...

'Shift Left' Gets Pushback, Triggers Security Soul Searching

A government report's criticism of the 100x metric often used to justify fixing software earlier in development fuels a growing debate over pushing responsibility for secure code onto developers.

GHSA-3pg4-qwc8-426r: OpenRefine leaks Google API credentials in releases

### Impact OpenRefine releases contain Google API authentication keys ("client id" and "client secret") which can be extracted from released artifacts. For instance, download the package for OpenRefine 3.8.2 on linux. It contains the file `openrefine-3.8.2/webapp/extensions/gdata/module/MOD-INF/lib/openrefine-gdata.jar`, which can be extracted. This archive then contains the file `com/google/refine/extension/gdata/GoogleAPIExtension.java`, which contains the following lines: ```java // For a production release, the second parameter (default value) can be set // for the following three properties (client_id, client_secret, and API key) to // the production values from the Google API console private static final String CLIENT_ID = System.getProperty("ext.gdata.clientid", new String(Base64.getDecoder().decode("ODk1NTU1ODQzNjMwLWhkZWwyN3NxMDM5ZjFwMmZ0aGE2M2VvcWFpY2JwamZoLmFwcHMuZ29vZ2xldXNlcmNvbnRlbnQuY29t"))); private static final String CLIENT_SECRET = System.getPro...

GHSA-pw3x-c5vp-mfc3: OpenRefine has a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability (XSS) in GData extension (authorized.vt)

### Summary The `/extension/gdata/authorized` endpoint includes the `state` GET parameter verbatim in a `<script>` tag in the output, so without escaping. An attacker could lead or redirect a user to a crafted URL containing JavaScript code, which would then cause that code to be executed in the victim's browser as if it was part of OpenRefine. ### Details The `state` GET parameter is read from: * extensions/gdata/module/MOD-INF/controller.js:105 It is used (as `$state`) in: * extensions/gdata/module/authorized.vt:43 There is no check that the state has the expected format (base64-encoded JSON with values like "openrefine123..." and "cb123..."), or that the page was indeed opened as part of the authorization flow. ### PoC Navigate to: http://localhost:3333/extension/gdata/authorized?state=%22,alert(1),%22&error= An alert box pops up. The gdata extension needs to be present. No other configuration is needed; specifically, it is not required to have a client ID or client...
