Ransomware gangs are getting more ruthless to increase the pressure on their victims. Now, even swatting cancer patients seems to be on the table.

### Impact When verifying W3C Format Verifiable Credentials using JSON-LD with Linked Data Proofs (LDP-VCs), the result of verifying the presentation `document.proof` was not factored into the final `verified` value (`true`/`false`) on the presentation record. Below is an example result from verifying a JSON-LD Presentation where there is an error noted in the processing (mismatched challenge), but the overall result is incorrectly `"verified": true`: ```json { "verified": true, "presentation_result": { "verified": false, "document": { "@context": [ "https://www.w3.org/2018/credentials/v1" ], "type": [ "VerifiablePresentation" ], "verifiableCredential": [ { "@context": [ "https://www.w3.org/2018/credentials/v1", "https://w3id.org/citizenship/v1" ], "type": [ "VerifiableCredential", "PermanentResident" ], "issuer": "did:sov...

# Microsoft Security Advisory CVE-2024-21319: .NET Denial of Service Vulnerability ## <a name="executive-summary"></a>Executive summary Microsoft is releasing this security advisory to provide information about a vulnerability in the ASP.NET Core project templates. This advisory also provides guidance on what developers can do to update their applications to address this vulnerability. A Denial of Service vulnerability exists in ASP.NET Core project templates which utilize JWT-based authentication tokens. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated client to consume arbitrarily large amounts of server memory, potentially triggering an out-of-memory condition on the server and making the server no longer able to respond to legitimate requests. ## Announcement Announcement for this issue can be found at https://github.com/dotnet/announcements/issues/290 ### <a name="mitigation-factors"></a>Mitigation factors This impacts only .NET Core-based projects that were created using any...

## Summary Before version [v2.11.0](https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-mmkv/releases/tag/v2.11.0), the react-native-mmkv logged the optional encryption key for the MMKV database into the Android system log. The key can be obtained by anyone with access to the Android Debugging Bridge (ADB) if it is enabled in the phone settings. This bug is not present on iOS devices. ## Details The bridge for communicating between JS code and native code on Android logs the encryption key. This was fixed in commit [a8995cc](https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-mmkv/commit/a8995ccb7184281f7d168bad3e9987c9bd05f00d) by only logging whether encryption is used. ## Impact The encryption of an MMKV database protects data from higher privilege processes on the phone that can access the app storage. Additionally, if data in the app's storage is encrypted, it is also encrypted in potential backups. By logging the encryption secret to the system logs, attackers can trivially recover the secret by ena...

### Impact _What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?_ An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious JSON Web Encryption (JWE) token with a high compression ratio. This token, when processed by a server, leads to excessive memory allocation and processing time during decompression, causing a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. It's important to note that the attacker must have access to the public encrypt key registered with the IDP(Entra ID) for successful exploitation. _According to the CVSS metric, a successful exploitation could lead to a scope change (S:C). What does this mean for this vulnerability?_ A scope change (S:C) in the CVSS metric indicates that successful exploitation of this vulnerability could extend beyond the immediate processing of malicious tokens, affecting the overall availability of the system by causing a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. ### Patches _Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_ The v...

### Impact _What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?_ Anyone leveraging the `SignedHttpRequest`protocol or the `SignedHttpRequestValidator`is vulnerable. Microsoft.IdentityModel trusts the `jku`claim by default for the `SignedHttpRequest`protocol. This raises the possibility to make any remote or local `HTTP GET` request. ### Patches _Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_ The vulnerability has been fixed in Microsoft.IdentityModel.Protocols.SignedHttpRequest. Users **should** update **all** their Microsoft.IdentityModel versions to 7.1.2 (for 7x) or higher, 6.34.0 (for 6x) or higher, if using Microsoft.IdentityModel.Protocols.SignedHttpRequest. ### Workarounds _Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?_ No, users must upgrade. ### References _Are there any links users can visit to find out more?_ https://aka.ms/IdentityModel/Jan2024/jku
