### Impact In DSpace 7.0 through 7.6.1, when an HTML, XML or JavaScript Bitstream is downloaded, the user's browser _may_ execute any embedded JavaScript. If that embedded JavaScript is malicious, there is a risk of an XSS attack. This attack may only be initialized by a user who already has Submitter privileges in the repository. The submitter must upload the malicious HTML/XML/JavaScript file themselves. The attack itself would not occur until a different authenticated user downloads the malicious file. CORS and CSRF protection built into DSpace help to limit the impact of the attack (and may block it in some scenarios). If the repository is configured to only download HTML / XML / JavaScript Bitstreams using the [`Content-Disposition: attachment`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Disposition) header, then the attack is no longer possible. See "Workarounds" below. ### Patches The fix is included in both 8.0 and 7.6.2. Please upgrade to one of t...

Injected malicious JavaScript code gives attackers administrator rights on websites, and fills sites with SEO spam.

Threat actors are exploiting a novel attack technique in the wild that leverages specially crafted management saved console (MSC) files to gain full code execution using Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and evade security defenses. Elastic Security Labs has codenamed the approach GrimResource after identifying an artifact ("sccm-updater.msc") that was uploaded to the VirusTotal malware

A previously undocumented threat actor dubbed Boolka has been observed compromising websites with malicious scripts to deliver a modular trojan codenamed BMANAGER. "The threat actor behind this campaign has been carrying out opportunistic SQL injection attacks against websites in various countries since at least 2022," Group-IB researchers Rustam Mirkasymov and Martijn van den Berk said in a

Multiple WordPress plugins have been backdoored to inject malicious code that makes it possible to create rogue administrator accounts with the aim of performing arbitrary actions. "The injected malware attempts to create a new administrative user account and then sends those details back to the attacker-controlled server," Wordfence security researcher Chloe Chamberland said in a Monday alert.

### Impact Before deserializing CycloneDX Bill of Materials in XML format, _cyclonedx-core-java_ leverages XPath expressions to determine the schema version of the BOM. The `DocumentBuilderFactory` used to evaluate XPath expressions was not configured securely, making the library vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) injection. XXE injection can be exploited to exfiltrate local file content, or perform Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) to access infrastructure adjacent to the vulnerable application. ### PoC ```java import org.cyclonedx.parsers.XmlParser; class Poc { public static void main(String[] args) { // Will throw org.cyclonedx.exception.ParseException: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused new XmlParser().parse(""" <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE bom [<!ENTITY % sp SYSTEM "https://localhost:1010/does-not-exist/file.dtd"> %sp;]> <bom xmlns="http://cyclonedx.org/schema/bom/1.5"/> ...

### Impact The content of a document included using `{{include reference="targetdocument"/}}` is executed with the right of the includer and not with the right of its author. This means that any user able to modify the target document can impersonate the author of the content which used the `include` macro. ### Patches This has been patched in XWiki 15.0 RC1 by making the default behavior safe. ### Workarounds Make sure to protect any included document to make sure only allowed users can modify it. A workaround have been provided in 14.10.2 to allow forcing to execute the included content with the target content author instead of the default behavior. See https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Include%20Macro#HAuthor for more details. ### References https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-5027 https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-20471 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [Jira XWiki.org](https://j...

Edu-Sharing suffers from an arbitrary file upload vulnerability. Versions below 8.0.8-RC2, 8.1.4-RC0, and 9.0.0-RC19 are affected.

Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) vulnerability in Apache StreamPipes user self-registration and password recovery mechanism. This allows an attacker to guess the recovery token in a reasonable time and thereby to take over the attacked user's account. This issue affects Apache StreamPipes: from 0.69.0 through 0.93.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.95.0, which fixes the issue.

XSS in Upload page in Apache JSPWiki 2.12.1 and priors allows the attacker to execute javascript in the victim's browser and get some sensitive information about the victim. Apache JSPWiki users should upgrade to 2.12.2 or later.
