#auth

### Impact **What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?** This vulnerability is related to **CORS origin validation**, where the Gradio server fails to validate the request origin when a cookie is present. This allows an attacker’s website to make unauthorized requests to a local Gradio server. Potentially, attackers can upload files, steal authentication tokens, and access user data if the victim visits a malicious website while logged into Gradio. This impacts users who have deployed Gradio locally and use basic authentication. ### Patches Yes, please upgrade to `gradio>=4.44` to address this issue. ### Workarounds **Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?** As a workaround, users can manually enforce stricter CORS origin validation by modifying the `CustomCORSMiddleware` class in their local Gradio server code. Specifically, they can bypass the condition that skips CORS validation for requests containing cookies to prevent potent...

The bug is already being exploited in the wild, but Firefox has provided patches for those who may be vulnerable.

AList is a file list program that supports multiple storages. AList contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in helper.go. The endpoint /i/:link_name takes in a user-provided value and reflects it back in the response. The endpoint returns an application/xml response, opening it up to HTML tags via XHTML and thus leading to a XSS vulnerability. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.29.0.

CVE description: Authd, through version 0.3.6, did not sufficiently randomize user IDs to prevent collisions. A local attacker who can register user names could spoof another user's ID and gain their privileges. ----- original report ----- # Cause authd assigns user IDs as a pure function of the user name. Moreover, the set of UIDs is much too small for pseudo-random assignment to work: the birthday bound predicts random collisions will occur with probability 50% after only 54 562 IDs were assigned. `authd` only checks for uniqueness [within its local cache](https://github.com/ubuntu/authd/blob/4946962aa4ac6e5b7d2b53503026659581c73907/internal/users/cache/update.go#L67-L71), which - may be inconsistent across multiple systems within the same domain ; - may be purged, due to being stored in `/var/cache` ; - automatically removes entries of users who have not logged into that specific system within the last 6 months.
