CISA Flags Two Actively Exploited Palo Alto Flaws; New RCE Attack Confirmed

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Thursday warned that two more flaws impacting the Palo Alto Networks Expedition have come under active exploitation in the wild. To that, it has added the vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, requiring Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to apply the necessary updates by December 5,

Hardening your operating system? Red Hat Enterprise Linux to the rescue!

Security is important in enterprise scenarios, where core business applications need to run seamlessly but are often connected to the external world where they are vulnerable to attack.Malware, unauthorized access to files and execution of unverified code are just some examples of how system security can be compromised, not only by exploiting known bugs and vulnerabilities, but also by the lack of appropriate countermeasures.Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) can help, as it provides some tools and services that can natively support the process of system hardening to help make your system more se

GHSA-pjwm-cr36-mwv3: ReDoS in giskard's transformation.py (GHSL-2024-324)

# ReDoS in Giskard text perturbation detector A Remote Code Execution (ReDoS) vulnerability was discovered in Giskard component by the [GitHub Security Lab](https://securitylab.github.com) team. When processing datasets with specific text patterns with Giskard detectors, this vulnerability could trigger exponential regex evaluation times, potentially leading to denial of service. ## Details The vulnerability affects Giskard's punctuation removal transformation used in the text perturbation detection. A regex used to detect URLs and links was vulnerable to catastrophic backtracking that could be triggered by specific patterns in the text. ## Affected version Giskard versions prior to 2.15.5 are affected. Users should upgrade to version 2.15.5 or later, which includes a fix for this vulnerability. ## Impact This vulnerability can cause extended computation times or crashes in Giskard when processing text containing certain patterns. ## Credit This issue was discovered and report...

GHSA-j3vq-pmp5-r5xj: Missing ratelimit on passwrod resets in zenml

zenml-io/zenml version 0.56.4 is vulnerable to an account takeover due to the lack of rate-limiting in the password change function. An attacker can brute-force the current password in the 'Update Password' function, allowing them to take over the user's account. This vulnerability is due to the absence of rate-limiting on the '/api/v1/current-user' endpoint, which does not restrict the number of attempts an attacker can make to guess the current password. Successful exploitation results in the attacker being able to change the password and take control of the account.

GHSA-j3px-q95c-9683: zlib-rs stack overflow during decompression with malicious input

A denial of service vulnerability was found in zlib-rs, triggered by specially constructed input. This input causes a stack overflow, resulting in the process using zlib-rs to crash. ### Impact Due to the way LLVM handles the zlib-rs codebase, tail calls were not guaranteed. This caused certain input patterns to result in a large number of stack frames being required, quickly resulting in a stack overflow. These are unlikely to occur in practice, but a dedicated attacker can construct malicious input files. After stack overflows were found by @inahga with a fuzzer, we dove into the assembly, and found some cases where the stack grew ```asm .LBB109_326: mov rdi, rbx call zlib_rs::inflate::State::type_do jmp .LBB109_311 .LBB109_311: lea rsp, [rbp - 40] pop rbx pop r12 pop r13 pop r14 pop r15 pop rbp .cfi_def_cfa rsp, 8 ret ``` LLVM wants to centralize the cleanup before the return (many other blocks jump to `LBB109_311`), thereby inva...

GHSA-p2h2-3vg9-4p87: Connecting to a malicious Codespaces via GH CLI could allow command execution on the user's computer

### Summary A security vulnerability has been identified in GitHub CLI that could allow remote code execution (RCE) when users connect to a malicious Codespace SSH server and use the `gh codespace ssh` or `gh codespace logs` commands. ### Details The vulnerability stems from the way GitHub CLI handles SSH connection details when executing commands. When developers connect to remote Codespaces, they typically use a SSH server running within a devcontainer, often provided through the [default devcontainer image](https://docs.github.com/en/codespaces/setting-up-your-project-for-codespaces/adding-a-dev-container-configuration/introduction-to-dev-containers#using-the-default-dev-container-configuration). GitHub CLI [retrieves SSH connection details](https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/30066b0042d0c5928d959e288144300cb28196c9/internal/codespaces/rpc/invoker.go#L230-L244), such as remote username, which is used in [executing `ssh` commands](https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/e356c69a6f0125cfaac7...

GHSA-hff8-hjwv-j9q7: Remote Code Execution on click of <a> Link in markdown preview

### Summary There is a vulnerability in `Joplin-desktop` that leads to remote code execution (RCE) when a user clicks on an `<a>` link within untrusted notes. The issue arises due to insufficient sanitization of `<a>` tag attributes introduced by the `Mermaid`. This vulnerability allows the execution of untrusted HTML content within the Electron window, which has full access to Node.js APIs, enabling arbitrary shell command execution. ### Details In the markdown preview iframe, `Joplin` only opens `<a>` links internally within the same Electron window if they contain the `data-from-md` attribute. While Joplin successfully sanitizes the `data-from-md` attribute in user-embedded `<a>` links from the `.md` file to prevent the execution of untrusted HTML content, it fails to sanitize the `data-from-md` attributes of `<a>` tags introduced by `Mermaid` (e.g., the code snippet shown below). Since `Mermaid` allows the rendering of certain scriptless HTML elements, an attacker can embed `<a>...
