In the mtproto_proxy (aka MTProto proxy) component through 0.7.2 for Erlang, a low-privileged remote attacker can access an improperly secured default installation without authenticating and achieve remote command execution ability.

### Impact ZITADEL administrators can enable a setting called "Ignoring unknown usernames" which helps mitigate attacks that try to guess/enumerate usernames. While this settings was properly working during the authentication process it did not work correctly on the password reset flow. This meant that even if this feature was active that an attacker could use the password reset function to verify if an account exist within ZITADEL. ### Patches This bug has been patched in versions >2.27.2 beginning with [2.37.3](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/releases/tag/v2.37.3) and [2.38.0](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/releases/tag/v2.38.0) ### Workarounds None available we advise to updated if this is needed. ### References None

# Summary Attackers with access to a users' device can gain persistent account access. This is caused by missing verification of Session Tokens after password changes and/or elapsed inactivity-periods. # Details `uptime-kuma` sets JWT tokens for users after successful authentication. These tokens have the following design flaws: - After successful login, a JWT token and it is stored in `sessionStorage` or `localStorage`. Which of the two is decided based on the `Remember Me` button. The users' token is valid without any time limitation, even after long periods of inactivity. This increases the risk of session hijacking if, for example, a user forgets to log off and leaves the PC. - sessions are only deleted on the client side after a user loggs out, meaning a local attacker could reuse said token with deep system access over the browser - If a user changes a password - any previously logged in clients are not logged out - previously issued tokens remained valid forever...

In the Harbor jobservice container, the comparison of secrets in the authenticator type is prone to timing attacks. The vulnerability occurs due to the following code: https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/blob/aaea068cceb4063ab89313d9785f2b40f35b0d63/src/jobservice/api/authenticator.go#L69-L69 To avoid this issue, constant time comparison should be used. ``` subtle.ConstantTimeCompare([]byte(expectedSecret), []byte(secret)) == 0 ``` ### Impact This attack might be possible theoretically, but no workable proof of concept is available, and access complexity is set at High. The jobservice exposes these APIs ``` Create a job task --- POST /api/v1/jobs Get job task information --- GET /api/v1/jobs/{job_id} Stop job task --- POST /api/v1/jobs/{job_id} Get job log task --- GET /api/v1/jobs/{job_id}/log Get job execution --- GET /api/v1/jobs/{job_id}/executions Get job stats --- GET /api/v1/stats Get job service configuration --- GET /api/v1/config ``` It is used to create jobs/stop job...

Researchers believe that more than 70,000 Android devices may have been affected with preloaded Peachpit malware that was installed on the electronics before being sold at market.

An issue was discovered in Broadcom) LSI PCI-SV92EX Soft Modem Kernel Driver through 2.2.100.1 (aka AGRSM64.sys). There is Local Privilege Escalation to SYSTEM via a Stack Overflow in RTLCopyMemory (IOCTL 0x1b2150). An attacker can exploit this to elevate privileges from a medium-integrity process to SYSTEM. This can also be used to bypass kernel-level protections such as AV or PPL, because exploit code runs with high-integrity privileges and can be used in coordinated BYOVD (bring your own vulnerable driver) ransomware campaigns.

Synapse is an open-source Matrix homeserver written and maintained by the Matrix.org Foundation. Prior to version 1.94.0, a malicious server ACL event can impact performance temporarily or permanently leading to a persistent denial of service. Homeservers running on a closed federation (which presumably do not need to use server ACLs) are not affected. Server administrators are advised to upgrade to Synapse 1.94.0 or later. As a workaround, rooms with malicious server ACL events can be purged and blocked using the admin API.
