### Impact A specially crafted HTTP request can trigger an uncaught exception on the Engine.IO server, thus killing the Node.js process. ``` TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'handlesUpgrades') at Server.onWebSocket (build/server.js:515:67) ``` This impacts all the users of the [`engine.io`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/engine.io) package, including those who uses depending packages like [`socket.io`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/socket.io). ### Patches A fix has been released today (2023/05/02): [6.4.2](https://github.com/socketio/engine.io/releases/tag/6.4.2) This bug was introduced in version 5.1.0 and included in version 4.1.0 of the `socket.io` parent package. Older versions are not impacted. For `socket.io` users: | Version range | `engine.io` version | Needs minor update? | |-----------------------------|---------------------|----------------------...

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5395-1 - An untrusted search path vulnerability was discovered in Node.js, which could result in unexpected searching or loading ICU data when running with elevated privileges.

The attackers were in thousands of corporate and government networks. They might still be there now. Behind the scenes of the SolarWinds investigation.

** UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED ** The Apache Spark UI offers the possibility to enable ACLs via the configuration option spark.acls.enable. With an authentication filter, this checks whether a user has access permissions to view or modify the application. If ACLs are enabled, a code path in HttpSecurityFilter can allow someone to perform impersonation by providing an arbitrary user name. A malicious user might then be able to reach a permission check function that will ultimately build a Unix shell command based on their input, and execute it. This will result in arbitrary shell command execution as the user Spark is currently running as. This issue was disclosed earlier as CVE-2022-33891, but incorrectly claimed version 3.1.3 (which has since gone EOL) would not be affected. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer. Users are recommended to upgrade to a supported version of Apache Spark, such as version 3.4.0.
