Parse Server is an open source backend server. In affected versions the Parse Cloud trigger `beforeFind` is not invoked in certain conditions of `Parse.Query`. This can pose a vulnerability for deployments where the `beforeFind` trigger is used as a security layer to modify the incoming query. The vulnerability has been fixed by refactoring the internal query pipeline for a more concise code structure and implementing a patch to ensure the `beforeFind` trigger is invoked. This fix was introduced in commit `be4c7e23c6` and has been included in releases 6.2.2 and 5.5.5. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should make use of parse server's security layers to manage access levels with Class-Level Permissions and Object-Level Access Control that should be used instead of custom security layers in Cloud Code triggers.

A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the SSH configuration tab in Usermin 2.001 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via options for the host value while editing the host options.

In yet another sign that developers continue to be targets of software supply chain attacks, a number of malicious packages have been discovered on the Rust programming language's crate registry. The libraries, uploaded between August 14 and 16, 2023, were published by a user named "amaperf," Phylum said in a report published last week. The names of the packages, now taken down, are as follows:

Developers are not the only people who have adopted the agile methodology for their development processes. From 2023-06-15 to 2023-07-11, Permiso Security’s p0 Labs team identified and tracked an attacker developing and deploying eight (8) incremental iterations of their credential harvesting malware while continuing to develop infrastructure for an upcoming (spoiler: now launched) campaign

Directory Traversal vulnerability in FileMage Gateway Windows Deployments v.1.10.8 and before allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information via a crafted request to the /mgmt/ component.

An issue was discovered in PostgreSQL 12.2 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via repeatedly sending SIGHUP signals.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6296-1 - It was discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled certain extension script substitutions. An attacker having database-level CREATE privileges can use this issue to execute arbitrary code as the bootstrap superuser. It was discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled the MERGE command. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass certain UPDATE and SELECT policies. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.04.

The Dataprobe iBoot PDU running firmware version 1.43.03312023 or earlier uses hard-coded credentials for all interactions with the internal Postgres database.A malicious agent with the ability to execute operating system commands on the device can leverage this vulnerability to read, modify, or delete arbitrary database records.

Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Query Report feature in Zoho ManageEngine Password Manager Pro version 11001, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code and steal cookies via crafted JavaScript payload.

IN THE EXTENSION SCRIPT, a SQL Injection vulnerability was found in PostgreSQL if it uses @extowner@, @extschema@, or @extschema:...@ inside a quoting construct (dollar quoting, '', or ""). If an administrator has installed files of a vulnerable, trusted, non-bundled extension, an attacker with database-level CREATE privilege can execute arbitrary code as the bootstrap superuser.
