A privilege escalation flaw was found in the token exchange feature of keycloak. Missing authorization allows a client application holding a valid access token to exchange tokens for any target client by passing the client_id of the target. This could allow a client to gain unauthorized access to additional services.

In Eclipse Jetty versions 10.0.0 thru 10.0.9, and 11.0.0 thru 11.0.9 versions, SslConnection does not release ByteBuffers from configured ByteBufferPool in case of error code paths.

In Eclipse Lyo versions 1.0.0 to 4.1.0, a TransformerFactory is initialized with the defaults that do not restrict DTD loading when working with RDF/XML. This allows an attacker to cause an external DTD to be retrieved.

### Impact `SslConnection` does not release `ByteBuffer`s in case of error code paths. For example, TLS handshakes that require client-auth with clients that send expired certificates will trigger a TLS handshake errors and the `ByteBuffer`s used to process the TLS handshake will be leaked. ### Workarounds Configure explicitly a `RetainableByteBufferPool` with `max[Heap|Direct]Memory` to limit the amount of memory that is leaked. Eventually the pool will be full of "active" entries (the leaked ones) and will provide `ByteBuffer`s that will be GCed normally. _With embedded-jetty_ ``` java int maxBucketSize = 1000; long maxHeapMemory = 128 * 1024L * 1024L; // 128 MB long maxDirectMemory = 128 * 1024L * 1024L; // 128 MB RetainableByteBufferPool rbbp = new ArrayRetainableByteBufferPool(0, -1, -1, maxBucketSize, maxHeapMemory, maxDirectMemory); server.addBean(rbbp); // make sure the ArrayRetainableByteBufferPool is added before the server is started server.start(); ``` _With jetty-home...

HumHub is an Open Source Enterprise Social Network. Affected versions of HumHub are vulnerable to a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. For exploitation, the attacker would need a permission to administer the Spaces feature. The names of individual "spaces" are not properly escaped and so an attacker with sufficient privilege could insert malicious javascript into a space name and exploit system users who visit that space. It is recommended that the HumHub is upgraded to 1.11.4, 1.10.5. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

Hyperledger Fabric is a permissioned distributed ledger framework. In affected versions if a consensus client sends a malformed consensus request to an orderer it may crash the orderer node. A fix has been added in commit 0f1835949 which checks for missing consensus messages and returns an error to the consensus client should the message be missing. Users are advised to upgrade to versions 2.2.7 or v2.4.5. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

It was discovered that the IcedTea-Web used codebase attribute of the <applet> tag on the HTML page that hosts Java applet in the Same Origin Policy (SOP) checks. As the specified codebase does not have to match the applet's actual origin, this allowed malicious site to bypass SOP via spoofed codebase value.

Latest feature will protect against targeted attacks
