### Impact The JWT secret key in the vantage6 server is auto-generated unless defined by the user. The auto-generated key is a UUID1, which is not cryptographically secure as it is [predictable to some extent](https://docs.python.org/3/library/uuid.html#uuid.uuid1) ### Patches No ### Workarounds You may define JWT secret key in the server configuration file

### Impact If attacker gets access to an authenticated session, they can try to brute-force the user password by using the change password functionality: they can call that route infinitely which will return the message that password is wrong until it is correct ### Patches This issue has been patched in version 4.11.0 ### Workarounds None

Late last year, security researchers made a startling discovery: Kremlin-backed disinformation campaigns were bypassing moderation on social media platforms by leveraging the same malicious advertising technology that powers a sprawling ecosystem of online hucksters and website hackers. A new report on the fallout from that investigation finds this dark ad tech industry is far more resilient and incestuous than previously known.

### Impact It's possible to execute any SQL query in Oracle by using the function like [DBMS_XMLGEN or DBMS_XMLQUERY](https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/arpls/DBMS_XMLGEN.html). The XWiki query validator does not sanitize functions that would be used in a simple `select` and Hibernate allows using any native function in an HQL query. ### Patches This has been patched in 16.10.2, 16.4.7 and 15.10.16. ### Workarounds There is no known workaround, other than upgrading XWiki. ### References https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-22734 ### 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])
