GHSA-683x-4444-jxh8: Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference in org.cyclonedx:cyclonedx-core-java

### Impact Before deserializing CycloneDX Bill of Materials in XML format, _cyclonedx-core-java_ leverages XPath expressions to determine the schema version of the BOM. The `DocumentBuilderFactory` used to evaluate XPath expressions was not configured securely, making the library vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) injection. XXE injection can be exploited to exfiltrate local file content, or perform Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) to access infrastructure adjacent to the vulnerable application. ### PoC ```java import org.cyclonedx.parsers.XmlParser; class Poc { public static void main(String[] args) { // Will throw org.cyclonedx.exception.ParseException: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused new XmlParser().parse(""" <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE bom [<!ENTITY % sp SYSTEM "https://localhost:1010/does-not-exist/file.dtd"> %sp;]> <bom xmlns="http://cyclonedx.org/schema/bom/1.5"/> ...

What Building Application Security Into Shadow IT Looks Like

AppSec is hard for traditional software development, let alone citizen developers. So how did two people resolve 70,000 vulnerabilities in three months?

GHSA-v6v8-xj6m-xwqh: go-retryablehttp can leak basic auth credentials to log files

go-retryablehttp prior to 0.7.7 did not sanitize urls when writing them to its log file. This could lead to go-retryablehttp writing sensitive HTTP basic auth credentials to its log file. This vulnerability, CVE-2024-6104, was fixed in go-retryablehttp 0.7.7.

GHSA-h26w-r4m5-8rrf: CodeChecker has a Path traversal in `CodeChecker server` in the endpoint of `CodeChecker store`

## Summary ZIP files uploaded to the server-side endpoint handling a `CodeChecker store` are not properly sanitized. An attacker can exercise a path traversal to make the `CodeChecker server` load and display files from an arbitrary location on the server machine. ## Details ### Target The vulnerable endpoint is `/<PRODUCT_URL>/v6.53/CodeCheckerService@massStoreRun`. ### Exploit overview The attack is made possible by improper sanitization at one point in the process. 1. When the ZIP file is uploaded by `CodeChecker store`, it is first unzipped to a temporary directory (safely). 2. When deciding which files to insert into CodeChecker's internal database, the decision is made based on the `content_hashes.json` in the ZIP. An attacker has control over the contents of this file. 3. After reading that file, the paths specified in the JSON are normalized by this code: https://github.com/Ericsson/codechecker/blob/fa41e4e5d9566b5a4f5a80a27bddec73a5146f5a/web/server/codechecker_server/a...

Google Introduces Project Naptime for AI-Powered Vulnerability Research

Google has developed a new framework called Project Naptime that it says enables a large language model (LLM) to carry out vulnerability research with an aim to improve automated discovery approaches. "The Naptime architecture is centered around the interaction between an AI agent and a target codebase," Google Project Zero researchers Sergei Glazunov and Mark Brand said. "The agent is provided

The NYSE's $10M Wake-up Call

The settlement between the SEC and the owner of the New York Stock Exchange is a critical reminder of the vulnerabilities within financial institutions' cybersecurity frameworks as well as the importance of regulatory oversight.

Critical RCE Vulnerability Discovered in Ollama AI Infrastructure Tool

Cybersecurity researchers have detailed a now-patch security flaw affecting the Ollama open-source artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure platform that could be exploited to achieve remote code execution. Tracked as CVE-2024-37032, the vulnerability has been codenamed Probllama by cloud security firm Wiz. Following responsible disclosure on May 5, 2024, the issue was addressed in version

Netis MW5360 Remote Command Execution

The Netis MW5360 router has a command injection vulnerability via the password parameter on the login page. The vulnerability stems from improper handling of the "password" parameter within the router's web interface. The router's login page authorization can be bypassed by simply deleting the authorization header, leading to the vulnerability. All router firmware versions up to V1.0.1.3442 are vulnerable. Attackers can inject a command in the password parameter, encoded in base64, to exploit the command injection vulnerability. When exploited, this can lead to unauthorized command execution, potentially allowing the attacker to take control of the router.
