#vulnerability

CodeIgniter 3.1.0 addressed a critical security issue within the ODBC database driver. This update includes crucial fixes to mitigate a SQL injection vulnerability, preventing potential exploitation by attackers. It is noteworthy that these fixes render the query builder and escape() functions incompatible with the ODBC driver. However, the update introduces actual query binding as a more secure alternative.

The xss_clean() method in the Security Library of CodeIgniter/Framework, specifically in versions before 3.0.3, exhibited a vulnerability that allowed certain Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vectors to bypass its intended protection mechanisms. The xss_clean() method is designed to sanitize input data by removing potentially malicious content, thus preventing XSS attacks. However, in versions prior to 3.0.3, it was discovered that the method did not adequately mitigate specific XSS vectors, leaving a potential security gap.

OpenCFP, an open-source conference talk submission system written in PHP, contains a security vulnerability in its third-party authentication framework, Sentry, developed by Cartalyst. The vulnerability stems from how Sentry handles password reset checks. Users lacking a password reset token stored in the database default to having NULL in the reset_password_code column. Exploiting this flaw could allow unauthorized manipulation of any OpenCFP user's password, particularly those without an unused password reset token. Although successful login still requires correlating the numeric user ID with an email address, the identification of likely organizers (users 1-5) may facilitate this process.

cart2quote/module-quotation-encoded extension may expose a critical security vulnerability by utilizing the unserialize function when processing data from a GET request. This flaw, present in the app/code/community/Ophirah/Qquoteadv/controllers/DownloadController.php and app/code/community/Ophirah/Qquoteadv/Helper/Data.php files, poses a significant risk of Remote Code Execution, especially when custom file options are employed on a product. Attackers exploiting this vulnerability could execute arbitrary code remotely, leading to unauthorized access and potential compromise of sensitive data.

The codehighlight extension bundles a vulnerable version of the 3rd party JavaScript component “prism” which is known to be vulnerable against Regular expression Denial of Service (ReDoS).

amphp/http versions before 1.0.1 allows an attacker to supply invalid input in the Host header which may lead to various type of Host header injection attacks.

In artax version before 1.0.6 and 2 before 2.0.6, cookies of `foo.bar.example.com` were leaked to `foo.bar`. Additionally, any site could set cookies for any other site. Artax fixed this issue by following newer browser implementations now. Cookies can only be set on domains higher or equal to the current domain, but not on any public suffixes.

The encryption and decryption process were vulnerable against the Bleichenbacher's attack, which is a padding oracle vulnerability disclosed in the 98'. The issue was about the wrong padding utilized, which allowed to retrieve the encrypted content. The OPENSSL_PKCS1_PADDING version, aka PKCS v1.5 was vulnerable (is the one set by default when using openssl_* methods), while the PKCS v2.0 isn't anymore (it's also called OAEP). A fix for this vulnerability was merged at https://github.com/Cosmicist/AsymmetriCrypt/pull/5/commits/a0318cfc5022f2a7715322dba3ff91d475ace7c6.

In alterphp/easyadmin-extension-bundle, role based access rules do not handle action name case sensitivity which may lead to unauthorized access.
