SUMMARY The Cl0p ransomware group has recently claimed responsibility for exploiting a critical vulnerability in Cleo’s managed file…

As the adoption of LCNC grows, so will the complexity of the threats organizations face.

### Impact In `getdocument.vm` ; the ordering of the returned documents is defined from an unsanitized request parameter (request.sort) and can allow any user to inject HQL. Depending on the used database backend, the attacker may be able to not only obtain confidential information such as password hashes from the database, but also execute UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE queries. It's possible to employ database backend dependent techniques of breaking out of HQL query context, described, for example, here: https://www.sonarsource.com/blog/exploiting-hibernate-injections. ### Patches This has been patched in 13.10.5 and 14.3-rc-1. ### Workarounds There is no known workaround, other than upgrading XWiki. ### References https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-17568 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [Jira XWiki.org](https://jira.xwiki.org/) * Email us at [Security Mailing List](mailto:[email protected])

Improper Authorization vulnerability in Apache Superset. On Postgres analytic databases an attacker with SQLLab access can craft a specially designed SQL DML statement that is Incorrectly identified as a read-only query, enabling its execution. Non postgres analytics database connections and postgres analytics database connections set with a readonly user (advised) are not vulnerable.  This issue affects Apache Superset: before 4.1.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.1.0, which fixes the issue.

The US State Department has offered a $10 million reward for Guan Tianfeng, who has been accused of developing and testing a critical SQL injection flaw with a CVSS score of 9.8 used in Sophos attacks.

An unauthenticated vulnerability in ABB Cylon Aspect BMS/BAS allows the download of an SQLite3 database file, exposing sensitive information stored in several tables. This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to system data, enabling information disclosure and potential exploitation of critical building management or automation systems.

Nette Database through 3.2.4 allows SQL injection in certain situations involving an untrusted filter that is directly passed to the where method.

A Chinese threat actor infiltrated several IT and security companies in a bring-your-own VS code, with an eye to carrying out a supply-chain-based espionage attack.

`idna` 0.5.0 and earlier accepts Punycode labels that do not produce any non-ASCII output, which means that either ASCII labels or the empty root label can be masked such that they appear unequal without IDNA processing or when processed with a different implementation and equal when processed with `idna` 0.5.0 or earlier. Concretely, `example.org` and `xn--example-.org` become equal after processing by `idna` 0.5.0 or earlier. Also, `example.org.xn--` and `example.org.` become equal after processing by `idna` 0.5.0 or earlier. In applications using `idna` (but not in `idna` itself) this may be able to lead to privilege escalation when host name comparison is part of a privilege check and the behavior is combined with a client that resolves domains with such labels instead of treating them as errors that preclude DNS resolution / URL fetching and with the attacker managing to introduce a DNS entry (and TLS certificate) for an `xn--`-masked name that turns into the name of the target ...

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Apache Superset. Specifically, certain engine-specific functions are not checked, which allows attackers to bypass Apache Superset's SQL authorization. This issue is a follow-up to CVE-2024-39887 with additional disallowed PostgreSQL functions now included: query_to_xml_and_xmlschema, table_to_xml, table_to_xml_and_xmlschema. This issue affects Apache Superset: <4.1.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.1.0, which fixes the issue or add these Postgres functions to the config set DISALLOWED_SQL_FUNCTIONS.
