Oppia is an online learning platform. When comparing a received CSRF token against the expected token, Oppia uses the string equality operator (`==`), which is not safe against timing attacks. By repeatedly submitting invalid tokens, an attacker can brute-force the expected CSRF token character by character. Once they have recovered the token, they can then submit a forged request on behalf of a logged-in user and execute privileged actions on that user's behalf. In particular the function to validate received CSRF tokens is at `oppia.core.controllers.base.CsrfTokenManager.is_csrf_token_valid`. An attacker who can lure a logged-in Oppia user to a malicious website can perform any change on Oppia that the user is authorized to do, including changing profile information; creating, deleting, and changing explorations; etc. Note that the attacker cannot change a user's login credentials. An attack would need to complete within 1 second because every second, the time used in computing the t...

### Impact An attacker can post malformed webhook data witch lead to an update of the repository data that can e.g. allow the takeover of an repo. This is only critical if the CI is configured for public usage and connected to a forge witch is also in public usage. ### Patches Please use either next or the latest v1.0 e.g. v1.0.2 ### Workarounds Secure the CI system by making it inaccessible to untrusted entities, for example, by placing it behind a firewall. ### References Fix: https://github.com/woodpecker-ci/woodpecker/pull/2221 Backport: https://github.com/woodpecker-ci/woodpecker/pull/2222

### Impact XSS vulnerability due to improperly sanitizing URLs of links that can be attached on canvas elements. This affects users of the npm package `@excalidraw/excalidraw` provided it was deployed in environments where untrusted user input in drawings that are then shared with third parties is a concern. If you only hosted the editor in trusted environments, or sharing didn't take place, the impact is minimized. ### Patches Patch is available on version 0.15.3 and up (stable), or latest `@excalidraw/excalidraw@next` (unstable releases). ### Workarounds No workaround without upgrading unless deployed in environments without untrusted user input. ### References https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-EXCALIDRAWEXCALIDRAW-5841658 https://github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw/pull/6728

A flaw was found in btrfs_get_root_ref in fs/btrfs/disk-io.c in the btrfs filesystem in the Linux Kernel due to a double decrement of the reference count. This issue may allow a local attacker with user privilege to crash the system or may lead to leaked internal kernel information.
