Backdoors lurking in legitimate-looking code contain file-deletion commands that can destroy production systems and cause massive disruptions to software supply chains.

### Summary The 'gitImportSite' functionality obtains a URL string from a POST request and insufficiently validates user input. The ’set_remote’ function later passes this input into ’proc_open’, yielding OS command injection. ### Details The vulnerability exists in the logic of the ’gitImportSite’ function, located in ’Operations.php’. The current implementation only relies on the ’filter_var’ and 'strpos' functions to validate the URL, which is not sufficient to ensure absence of all Bash special characters used for command injection.  #### Affected Resources • Operations.php:2103 gitImportSite() • \<domain\>/\<user\>/system/api/gitImportSite ### PoC To replicate this vulnerability, authenticate and send a POST request to the 'gitImportSite' endpoint with a crafted URL in the JSON data. Note, a valid token needs to be obtained by capturing a request to another API endpoint (such as '...

Malicious npm packages found with hidden endpoints that wipe systems on command. Devs warned to check dependencies for express-api-sync, system-health-sync-api.

### Summary In the HAX site editor, users can create a website block to load another site in an iframe. The application allows users to supply a target URL in the website block. When the HAX site is visited, the client's browser will query the supplied URL. ### Affected Resources - [Operations.php:868](https://github.com/haxtheweb/haxcms-php/blob/master/system/backend/php/lib/Operations.php#L868) - `https://<site>/<user>/system/api/saveNode` ### PoC 1. Set the URL in an iframe pointing to an attacker-controlled server running Responder  2. Once another user visits the site, they are prompted to sign in.  3. If a user inputs credentials, the username and password hash are outputted in Responder.  ### Impact An au...

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a supply chain attack targeting over a dozen packages associated with GlueStack to deliver malware. The malware, introduced via a change to "lib/commonjs/index.js," allows an attacker to run shell commands, take screenshots, and upload files to infected machines, Aikido Security told The Hacker News, stating these packages collectively account for nearly 1

**Overview** In Auth0 Next.js SDK versions 4.0.1 to 4.6.0, __session cookies set by auth0.middleware may be cached by CDNs due to missing Cache-Control headers. **Am I Affected?** You are affected by this vulnerability if you meet the following preconditions: 1. Applications using the NextJS-Auth0 SDK, versions between 4.0.1 to 4.6.0, 2. Applications using CDN or edge caching that caches responses with the Set-Cookie header. 3. If the Cache-Control header is not properly set for sensitive responses. **Fix** Upgrade auth0/nextjs-auth0 to v4.6.1.

### Summary Source code may be stolen when you access a malicious web site with non-Chromium based browser. ### Details The `Origin` header is checked to prevent Cross-site WebSocket hijacking from happening which was reported by CVE-2018-14732. But webpack-dev-server always allows IP address `Origin` headers. https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server/blob/55220a800ba4e30dbde2d98785ecf4c80b32f711/lib/Server.js#L3113-L3127 This allows websites that are served on IP addresses to connect WebSocket. By using the same method described in [the article](https://blog.cal1.cn/post/Sniffing%20Codes%20in%20Hot%20Module%20Reloading%20Messages) linked from CVE-2018-14732, the attacker get the source code. related commit: https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server/commit/72efaab83381a0e1c4914adf401cbd210b7de7eb (note that `checkHost` function was only used for Host header to prevent DNS rebinding attacks so this change itself is fine. This vulnerability does not affect Chrome 94+ (and othe...

### Summary Source code may be stolen when you access a malicious web site. ### Details Because the request for classic script by a script tag is not subject to same origin policy, an attacker can inject `<script src="http://localhost:8080/main.js">` in their site and run the script. Note that the attacker has to know the port and the output entrypoint script path. Combined with prototype pollution, the attacker can get a reference to the webpack runtime variables. By using `Function::toString` against the values in `__webpack_modules__`, the attacker can get the source code. ### PoC 1. Download [reproduction.zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/18426585/reproduction.zip) and extract it 2. Run `npm i` 3. Run `npx webpack-dev-server` 4. Open `https://e29c9a88-a242-4fb4-9e64-b24c9d29b35b.pages.dev/` 5. You can see the source code output in the document and the devtools console.  The scr...

### Summary This affects AES-256-GCM and AES-128-GCM in Deno, introduced by commit [0d1beed](https://github.com/denoland/deno/commit/0d1beed). Specifically, the authentication tag is not being validated. This means tampered ciphertexts or incorrect keys might not be detected, which breaks the guarantees expected from AES-GCM. Older versions of Deno correctly threw errors in such cases, as does Node.js. Without authentication tag verification, AES-GCM degrades to essentially CTR mode, removing integrity protection. Authenticated data set with set_aad is also affected, as it is incorporated into the GCM hash (ghash) but this too is not validated, rendering AAD checks ineffective. ### PoC ```ts import { Buffer } from "node:buffer"; import { createCipheriv, createDecipheriv, randomBytes, scrypt, } from "node:crypto"; type Encrypted = { salt: string; iv: string; enc: string; authTag: string; }; const deriveKey = (key: string, salt: Buffer) => new Promise<Buffer>((res...

Several malicious packages have been uncovered across the npm, Python, and Ruby package repositories that drain funds from cryptocurrency wallets, erase entire codebases after installation, and exfiltrate Telegram API tokens, once again demonstrating the variety of supply chain threats lurking in open-source ecosystems. The findings come from multiple reports published by Checkmarx,
