Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-1841-03 - An update for pcs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.0 Extended Update Support. Issues addressed include a denial of service vulnerability.

### Summary There is a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that can be exploited via maliciously crafted user data. Our filter to detect and prevent the use of the `javascript:` URL scheme in the `href` attribute of an `<a>` tag could be bypassed with tab `\t` or newline `\n` characters between the characters of the protocol, e.g. `java\tscript:`. ### Impact If you render an `<a>` tag with an `href` attribute set to a user-provided link, that link could potentially execute JavaScript when clicked by another user. ```ruby a(href: user_profile) { "Profile" } ``` ### Mitigation The best way to mitigate this vulnerability is to update to one of the following versions: - [1.10.1](https://rubygems.org/gems/phlex/versions/1.10.1) - [1.9.2](https://rubygems.org/gems/phlex/versions/1.9.2) - [1.8.3](https://rubygems.org/gems/phlex/versions/1.8.3) - [1.7.2](https://rubygems.org/gems/phlex/versions/1.7.2) - [1.6.3](https://rubygems.org/gems/phlex/versions/1.6.3) - [1.5.3](htt...

Ubuntu Security Notice 6731-1 - It was discovered that YARD before 0.9.11 does not block relative paths with an initial ../ sequence, which allows attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks and read arbitrary files. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. It was discovered that yard before 0.9.20 is affected by a path traversal vulnerability, allowing HTTP requests to access arbitrary files under certain conditions. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

A threat group of suspected Romanian origin called RUBYCARP has been observed maintaining a long-running botnet for carrying out crypto mining, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), and phishing attacks. The group, believed to be active for at least 10 years, employs the botnet for financial gain, Sysdig said in a report shared with The Hacker News. "Its primary method of operation

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-1576-03 - An update for the ruby:3.1 module is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Issues addressed include HTTP response splitting and denial of service vulnerabilities.

Millions lost internet service after three cables in the Red Sea were damaged. Houthi rebels deny targeting the cables, but their missile attack on a cargo ship, left adrift for months, is likely to blame.

### Impact The vulnerability [CVE-2023-49090](https://github.com/carrierwaveuploader/carrierwave/security/advisories/GHSA-gxhx-g4fq-49hj) wasn't fully addressed. This vulnerability is caused by the fact that when uploading to object storage, including Amazon S3, it is possible to set a Content-Type value that is interpreted by browsers to be different from what's allowed by `content_type_allowlist`, by providing multiple values separated by commas. This bypassed value can be used to cause XSS. ### Patches Upgrade to [3.0.7](https://rubygems.org/gems/carrierwave/versions/3.0.7) or [2.2.6](https://rubygems.org/gems/carrierwave/versions/2.2.6). ### Workarounds Use the following monkey patch to let CarrierWave parse the Content-type by using `Marcel::MimeType.for`. ```ruby # For CarrierWave 3.x CarrierWave::SanitizedFile.class_eval do def declared_content_type @declared_content_type || if @file.respond_to?(:content_type) && @file.content_type Marcel::MimeType.for(d...

An issue was discovered in RDoc 6.3.3 through 6.6.2, as distributed in Ruby 3.x through 3.3.0. When parsing `.rdoc_options` (used for configuration in RDoc) as a YAML file, object injection and resultant remote code execution are possible because there are no restrictions on the classes that can be restored. When loading the documentation cache, object injection and resultant remote code execution are also possible if there were a crafted cache. We recommend to update the RDoc gem to version 6.6.3.1 or later. In order to ensure compatibility with bundled version in older Ruby series, you may update as follows instead: * For Ruby 3.0 users: Update to `rdoc` 6.3.4.1 * For Ruby 3.1 users: Update to `rdoc` 6.4.1.1 * For Ruby 3.2 users: Update to `rdoc` 6.5.1.1 You can use `gem update rdoc` to update it. If you are using bundler, please add `gem "rdoc", ">= 6.6.3.1"` to your `Gemfile`. Note: 6.3.4, 6.4.1, 6.5.1 and 6.6.3 have a incorrect fix. We recommend to upgrade 6.3.4.1, 6.4.1.1, ...

An issue was discovered in StringIO 3.0.1, as distributed in Ruby 3.0.x through 3.0.6 and 3.1.x through 3.1.4. The `ungetbyte` and `ungetc` methods on a StringIO can read past the end of a string, and a subsequent call to `StringIO.gets` may return the memory value. This vulnerability is not affected StringIO 3.0.3 and later, and Ruby 3.2.x and later. We recommend to update the StringIO gem to version 3.0.3 or later. In order to ensure compatibility with bundled version in older Ruby series, you may update as follows instead: * For Ruby 3.0 users: Update to `stringio` 3.0.1.1 * For Ruby 3.1 users: Update to `stringio` 3.1.0.2 You can use `gem update stringio` to update it. If you are using bundler, please add `gem "stringio", ">= 3.0.1.2"` to your `Gemfile`.

This Metasploit module exploits built-in functionality in OpenNMS Horizon in order to execute arbitrary commands as the opennms user. For versions 32.0.2 and higher, this module requires valid credentials for a user with ROLE_FILESYSTEM_EDITOR privileges and either ROLE_ADMIN or ROLE_REST. For versions 32.0.1 and lower, credentials are required for a user with ROLE_FILESYSTEM_EDITOR, ROLE_REST, and/or ROLE_ADMIN privileges. In that case, the module will automatically escalate privileges via CVE-2023-40315 or CVE-2023-0872 if necessary. This module has been successfully tested against OpenNMS version 31.0.7.
