A critical security flaw has been disclosed in the Apache Avro Java Software Development Kit (SDK) that, if successfully exploited, could allow the execution of arbitrary code on susceptible instances. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2024-47561, impacts all versions of the software prior to 1.11.4. "Schema parsing in the Java SDK of Apache Avro 1.11.3 and previous versions allows bad actors to execute

Ever heard of a "pig butchering" scam? Or a DDoS attack so big it could melt your brain? This week's cybersecurity recap has it all – government showdowns, sneaky malware, and even a dash of app store shenanigans. Get the scoop before it's too late! ⚡ Threat of the Week Double Trouble: Evil Corp & LockBit Fall: A consortium of international law enforcement agencies took steps to arrest four

The ABB BMS/BAS controller suffers from an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands through the 'SYSLOG' HTTP POST parameter called by the syslogSwitch.php script.

The ABB BMS/BAS controller suffers from an unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerability. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands through the 'Footer' HTTP POST parameter called by the caldavUtil.php script.

The ABB BMS/BAS controller suffers from an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands through the 'timeserver' HTTP POST parameter called by the setTimeServer.php script.

A new high-severity security flaw has been disclosed in the LiteSpeed Cache plugin for WordPress that could enable malicious actors to execute arbitrary JavaScript code under certain conditions. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2024-47374 (CVSS score: 7.2), has been described as a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability impacting all versions of the plugin up to and including 6.5.0.2. It was

### Summary When creating a new plugin using the `git` source, the user-controlled value `req.body.name` is used to build the plugin directory where the location will be cloned. The API used to execute the `git clone` command with the user-controlled data is `child_process.execSync`. Since the user-controlled data is not validated, a user with admin permission can add escaping characters and execute arbitrary commands, leading to a command injection vulnerability. ### Details Relevant code from source (`req.body`) to sink (`child_process.execSync`). - file: https://github.com/saltcorn/saltcorn/blob/v1.0.0-beta.13/packages/server/routes/plugins.js#L1400 ```js router.post( "/", isAdmin, error_catcher(async (req, res) => { const plugin = new Plugin(req.body); // [1] [...] try { await load_plugins.loadAndSaveNewPlugin( // [3] plugin, schema === db.connectObj.default_schema || plugin.source === "github" ); [...] } ...

Several of the flaws enable remote code execution and denial-of-service attacks while others enable data theft, session hijacking, and other malicious activity.

### Summary The endpoint `/site-structure/localizer/save-string/:lang/:defstring` accepts two parameter values: `lang` and `defstring`. These values are used in an unsafe way to set the keys and value of the `cfgStrings` object. It allows to add/modify properties of the `Object prototype` that result in several logic issues, including: - RCE vulnerabilities by polluting the `tempRootFolder` property - SQL injection vulnerabilities by polluting the `schema` property when using `PostgreSQL` database. ### Details - file: https://github.com/saltcorn/saltcorn/blob/v1.0.0-beta.13/packages/server/routes/infoarch.js#L236-L239 ```js router.post( "/localizer/save-string/:lang/:defstring", isAdmin, error_catcher(async (req, res) => { const { lang, defstring } = req.params; // source const cfgStrings = getState().getConfigCopy("localizer_strings"); if (cfgStrings[lang]) cfgStrings[lang][defstring] = text(req.body.value); // [1] sink else cfgStrings[lang] = { [defstring]...

Despite what lessons we thought we learned from Colonial Pipeline, none of those lessons have been able to be put into practice.
