The ABB Cylon FLXeon (BACnet) controller suffers from an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability with root privileges. Input passed through the login.js script for the password JSON parameter allows out-of-band command injection.

### Issue Snowflake discovered and remediated a vulnerability in the Snowflake NodeJS Driver. File permissions checks of the temporary credential cache could be bypassed by an attacker with write access to the local cache directory. This vulnerability affects versions 1.12.0 through 2.0.1 on Linux. Snowflake fixed the issue in version 2.0.2. ### Vulnerability Details On Linux, when either EXTERNALBROWSER or USERNAME_PASSWORD_MFA authentication methods are used with temporary credential caching enabled, the Snowflake NodeJS Driver will cache temporary credentials in a local file. Due to a bug, the check verifying that the cache file can be accessed only by the user running the Driver always succeeded, but didn’t verify the permissions or the ownership correctly. An attacker with write access to the local cache folder could plant an empty file there and the Driver would use it to store temporary credentials instead of rejecting it due to overly broad permissions. ### Solution Snowflak...

The North Korean threat actor known as the Lazarus Group has been observed leveraging a "web-based administrative platform" to oversee its command-and-control (C2) infrastructure, giving the adversary the ability to centrally supervise all aspects of their campaigns. "Each C2 server hosted a web-based administrative platform, built with a React application and a Node.js API," SecurityScorecard's

### Impact The [ContextLines integration](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/node/configuration/integrations/contextlines/) uses readable streams to more efficiently use memory when reading files. The ContextLines integration is used to attach source context to outgoing events. The stream was not explicitly closed after use. This could lead to excessive amounts of file handles open on the system and potentially lead to a Denial of Service (DoS). The ContextLines integration is enabled by default in the Node SDK (`@sentry/node`) and SDKs that run in Node.js environments (`@sentry/astro`, `@sentry/aws-serverless`, `@sentry/bun`, `@sentry/google-cloud-serverless`, `@sentry/nestjs`, `@sentry/nextjs`, `@sentry/nuxt`, `@sentry/remix`, `@sentry/solidstart`, `@sentry/sveltekit`). ### Patches Users should upgrade to version `8.49.0` or higher. ### Workarounds To remediate this issue in affected versions without upgrading to version `8.49.0` and above you can disable the Co...

The firewall specialist has patched the security flaw, which was responsible for a series of attacks reported earlier this month that compromised FortiOS and FortiProxy products exposed to the public Internet.

About Authentication Bypass – FortiOS (CVE-2024-55591) vulnerability. A critical flaw allows remote attackers to gain super-admin privileges via crafted requests to the Node.js websocket module. Affected systems include Fortinet devices running FortiOS (e.g., FortiGate NGFW) and FortiProxy. 🔹 On January 10, Arctic Wolf reported attacks on Fortinet devices that began in November 2024. Attackers create […]

### Summary Source code may be stolen during dev when using webpack / rspack builder and you open 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:3000/_nuxt/app.js">` in their site and run the script. By using `Function::toString` against the values in `window.webpackChunknuxt_app`, the attacker can get the source code. ### PoC 1. Create a nuxt project with webpack / rspack builder. 1. Run `npm run dev` 1. Open `http://localhost:3000` 1. Run the script below in a web site that has a different origin. 1. You can see the source code output in the document and the devtools console. ```js const script = document.createElement('script') script.src = 'http://localhost:3000/_nuxt/app.js' script.addEventListener('load', () => { for (const page in window.webpackChunknuxt_app) { const moduleList = window.webpackChunknuxt_app[page][1] console.log(module...

### Impact [Undici `fetch()` uses Math.random()](https://github.com/nodejs/undici/blob/8b06b8250907d92fead664b3368f1d2aa27c1f35/lib/web/fetch/body.js#L113) to choose the boundary for a multipart/form-data request. It is known that the output of Math.random() can be predicted if several of its generated values are known. If there is a mechanism in an app that sends multipart requests to an attacker-controlled website, they can use this to leak the necessary values. Therefore, An attacker can tamper with the requests going to the backend APIs if certain conditions are met. ### Patches This is fixed in 5.28.5; 6.21.1; 7.2.3. ### Workarounds Do not issue multipart requests to attacker controlled servers. ### References * https://hackerone.com/reports/2913312 * https://blog.securityevaluators.com/hacking-the-javascript-lottery-80cc437e3b7f

### Summary This vulnerability allows a user to maneuver the Webfinger mechanism to perform a GET request to any internal resource on any Host, Port, URL combination regardless of present security mechanisms, and forcing the victim’s server into an infinite loop causing Denial of Service. Moreover, this issue can also be maneuvered into performing a Blind SSRF attack. ### Details The Webfinger endpoint takes a remote domain for checking accounts as a feature, however, as per the ActivityPub spec (https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#security-considerations), on the security considerations section at B.3, access to Localhost services should be prevented while running in production. The **lookupWebFinger** function, responsible for returning an actor handler for received actor objects from a remote server, can be abused to perform a Denial of Service (DoS) and Blind SSRF attacks while attempting to resolve a malicious actor’s object. On Fedify, two client-facing functions implement the *...
