The FTC is targeting data brokers that monitored people’s movements during protests and around US military installations. But signs suggest the Trump administration will be far more lenient.
### Summary The application allows users to upload files with scripts in the filename parameter. As a result, a malicious user can upload a script file to the system. When users in the application use the "Diff or Compare" functionality, they are affected by a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. ### Details I found a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in the "Diff or Compare" functionality. This issue occurs because the upload functionality allows users to upload files with special characters such as <, >, /, and " in the filename. This vulnerability can be mitigated by restricting file uploads to filenames containing only whitelisted characters, such as A-Z, 0-9, and specific special characters permitted by business requirements, like - or _ . ### PoC _Complete instructions, including specific configuration details, to reproduce the vulnerability._ 1. On MobSF version 4.2.8, I clicked on "Unload & Analyze" button. .
### Summary The `/debug/querylogz` and `/debug/env` pages for `vtgate` and `vttablet` do not properly escape user input. The result is that queries executed by Vitess can write HTML into the monitoring page at will. ### Details These pages are rendered using `text/template` instead of rendering with a proper HTML templating engine. ### PoC Execute any query where part of it is HTML markup, for example as part of a string. To make it easier to observe you might want to make sure the query takes a few seconds to complete, giving you time to refresh the status page. Example query that can trigger the issue: ```sql UPDATE users SET email = CONCAT("<img src=https://cataas.com/cat/says/oops>", users.idUser, "@xxx") WHERE email NOT LIKE '%xxx%' AND email != "[email protected]" ``` Result:  ### Impact Anyone looking at the Vitess status page is affected. This would normally be owners / admi...

### Impact In Synapse before 1.120.1, `multipart/form-data` requests can in certain configurations transiently increase memory consumption beyond expected levels while processing the request, which can be used to amplify denial of service attacks. ### Patches Synapse 1.120.1 resolves the issue by denying requests with unsupported `multipart/form-data` content type. ### Workarounds Limiting request sizes or blocking the `multipart/form-data` content type before the requests reach Synapse, for example in a reverse proxy, alleviates the issue. Another approach that mitigates the attack is to use a low `max_upload_size` in Synapse. ### References - https://github.com/twisted/twisted/issues/4688#issuecomment-1167705518 - https://github.com/twisted/twisted/issues/4688#issuecomment-2385711609 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, please email us at [security at element.io](mailto:[email protected]).
### Impact Synapse before version 1.106 allows, by design, unauthenticated remote participants to trigger a download and caching of remote media from a remote homeserver to the local media repository. Such content then also becomes available for download from the local homeserver in an unauthenticated way. The implication is that unauthenticated remote adversaries can use this functionality to plant problematic content into the media repository. ### Patches Synapse 1.106 introduces a partial mitigation in the form of new endpoints which require authentication for media downloads. The unauthenticated endpoints will be frozen in a future release, closing the attack vector. ### Workarounds Though extremely limited, server operators can use more strict rate limits based on IP address. ### References * https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3916 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, please email us at [security at elem...
