### Impact The HTML Parser in lxml does not properly handle context-switching for special HTML tags such as `<svg>`, `<math>` and `<noscript>`. This behavior deviates from how web browsers parse and interpret such tags. Specifically, content in CSS comments is ignored by lxml_html_clean but may be interpreted differently by web browsers, enabling malicious scripts to bypass the cleaning process. This vulnerability could lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, compromising the security of users relying on lxml_html_clean in default configuration for sanitizing untrusted HTML content. ### Patches Users employing the HTML cleaner in a security-sensitive context should upgrade to lxml 0.4.0, which addresses this issue. ### Workarounds As a temporary mitigation, users can configure lxml_html_clean with the following settings to prevent the exploitation of this vulnerability: * `remove_tags`: Specify tags to remove - their content is moved to their parents' tags. * `kill_tags`: Spec...

### **tl;dr:** unprivileged user creates a symlink to /etc/sudoers, /etc/shadow or similar and waits for a privileged user or process to copy/backup/mirror users data (using `--links` and `--metadata`). unprivileged user now owns /etc/sudoers. ### Summary Insecure handling of symlinks with `--links` and `--metadata` in rclone while copying to local disk allows unprivileged users to indirectly modify ownership and permissions on symlink target files when a superuser or privileged process performs a copy. This vulnerability could enable privilege escalation and unauthorized access to critical system files (e.g., /etc/shadow), compromising system integrity, confidentiality, and availability. For instance, an unprivileged user could set a symlink to a sensitive file within their home directory, waiting for an administrator or automated process (e.g., a cron job running with elevated privileges) to copy their files with rclone using the --links and --metadata options. Upon copying, rclo...

Assets uploaded with appropriately crafted filenames may result in them being placed in a location different than what was configured. ### Impact - Affects front-end forms with `assets` fields. - Affects other places where assets can be uploaded, although users would need upload permissions anyway. - Files can be uploaded so they would be located on the server in a different location, and potentially override existing files. - Traversal _outside_ an asset container was not possible. ### Patches This has been fixed in 5.17.0.
