Malicious Google sponsored results disguised as software downloads lead to malware.

Google's Manifest V3 offers better privacy and security controls for browser extensions than the previous M2, but too many lax permissions and gaps remain.

### Summary `\PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Writer\Html` does not sanitize "javascript:" URLs from hyperlink `href` attributes, resulting in a Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. ### PoC Example target script: ``` <?php require 'vendor/autoload.php'; $reader = \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\IOFactory::createReader("Xlsx"); $spreadsheet = $reader->load(__DIR__ . '/book.xlsx'); $writer = new \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Writer\Html($spreadsheet); print($writer->generateHTMLAll()); ``` Save this file in the same directory: [book.xlsx](https://github.com/PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet/files/15099763/book.xlsx) Open index.php in a web browser and click on both links. The first demonstrates the vulnerability in a regular hyperlink and the second in a HYPERLINK() formula.

### Summary It's possible for an attacker to construct an XLSX file that links images from arbitrary paths. When embedding images has been enabled in HTML writer with `$writer->setEmbedImages(true);` those files will be included in the output as `data:` URLs, regardless of the file's type. Also URLs can be used for embedding, resulting in a Server-Side Request Forgery vulnerability. ### Details XLSX files allow embedding or linking media. When In `xl/drawings/drawing1.xml` an attacker can do e.g.: ```xml <a:blip cstate="print" r:link="rId1" /> ``` And then, in `xl/drawings/_rels/drawing1.xml.rels` they can set the path to anything, such as: ```xml <Relationship Id="rId1" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/image" Target="/etc/passwd" /> ``` or ```xml <Relationship Id="rId1" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/image" Target="http://example.org" /> ``` When the HTML writer is outputting the...

### Summary It's possible for an attacker to construct an XLSX file which links media from external URLs. When opening the XLSX file, PhpSpreadsheet retrieves the image size and type by reading the file contents, if the provided path is a URL. By using specially crafted `php://filter` URLs an attacker can leak the contents of any file or URL. Note that this vulnerability is different from [GHSA-w9xv-qf98-ccq4](https://github.com/PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet/security/advisories/GHSA-w9xv-qf98-ccq4), and resides in a different component. ### Details When an XLSX file is opened, the XLSX reader calls `setPath()` with the path provided in the `xl/drawings/_rels/drawing1.xml.rels` file in the XLSX archive: ```php if (isset($images[$embedImageKey])) { // ...omit irrelevant code... } else { $linkImageKey = (string) self::getArrayItem( $blip->attributes('http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships'), 'link' ); if (isset($images[$linkImag...

### Summary Event log data is not properly sanitized leading to stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. ### Details - file: https://github.com/saltcorn/saltcorn/blob/v1.0.0-beta.13/packages/server/routes/eventlog.js#L445 ```js router.get( "/:id", isAdmin, error_catcher(async (req, res) => { const { id } = req.params; const ev = await EventLog.findOneWithUser(id); send_events_page({ [...] contents: { type: "card", contents: [...] ) + div( { class: "eventpayload" }, ev.payload ? pre(JSON.stringify(ev.payload, null, 2)) : "" //<--- ), }, }); }) ``` ### PoC The following PoC demonstrates how a non-admin user with permission to read/write on a table can inject malicious javascript code that will be executed in the event log admin panel if event logs are enabled. To demonstrate this issue, we need to prepare some components. The following steps should be ...

### Summary A logged-in user with any role can delete arbitrary files on the filesystem by calling the `sync/clean_sync_dir` endpoint. The `dir_name` POST parameter is not validated/sanitized and is used to construct the `syncDir` that is deleted by calling `fs.rm`. ### Details - file: https://github.com/saltcorn/saltcorn/blob/v1.0.0-beta.15/packages/server/routes/sync.js#L337-L346 ```js router.post( "/clean_sync_dir", error_catcher(async (req, res) => { const { dir_name } = req.body; // [1] source try { const rootFolder = await File.rootFolder(); const syncDir = path.join( rootFolder.location, "mobile_app", "sync", dir_name // [2] ); await fs.rm(syncDir, { recursive: true, force: true }); // [3] sink res.status(200).send(""); } catch (error) { getState().log(2, `POST /sync/clean_sync_dir: '${error.message}'`); res.status(400).json({ error: error.message || error }); } }) ); ``` ### Po...

# Summary If values passed to a paragraph widget are not valid and contain a specific set of characters, applications are vulnerable to XSS attack against a user who opens a page on which a paragraph widget is rendered. Versions of dynamic dashboard from v3.0.0 through v3.0.2 are affected. Please upgrade to dynamic dashboard [v3.0.2](https://github.com/lara-zeus/dynamic-dashboard/releases/tag/v3.0.2). # PoC >PoC will be published in a few weeks, once developers have had a chance to upgrade their apps. # Response This vulnerability (in paragraph widget only) was reported by **Raghav Sharma**, who reported the issue and patched the issue during the morning of 05/10/2024. Thank you **Raghav Sharma**. The review process concluded the same day at night, which revealed the issue was also present in paragraph widget. This was fixed the same day and dynamic dashboard [v3.0.2](https://github.com/lara-zeus/dynamic-dashboard/releases/tag/v3.0.2) followed. ## Note: if you're published the vi...
