### Summary An authenticated Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the HAXCMS saveOutline endpoint allows a low-privileged user to read arbitrary files on the server by manipulating the location field written into site.json. This enables attackers to exfiltrate sensitive system files such as /etc/passwd, application secrets, or configuration files accessible to the web server (www-data). ### Details The vulnerability stems from the way the HAXCMS backend handles the location field in the site's outline. When a user sends a POST request to /system/api/saveOutline, the backend stores the provided location value directly into the site.json file associated with the site, without validating or sanitizing the input. Later the location parameter is interpreted by the CMS like in[ HAXCMSSite.php line 1248](https://github.com/haxtheweb/haxcms-php/blob/b158d8ba1f9602af92ab084fd03b418f953079fd/system/backend/php/lib/HAXCMSSite.php#L1248) to resolve and load the content for a given node.

### Summary The application does not sufficiently sanitize user input, allowing for the execution of arbitrary JavaScript code. The 'saveNode' and 'saveManifest' endpoints take user input and store it in the JSON schema for the site. This content is then rendered in the generated HAX site. Although the application does not allow users to supply a 'script' tag, it does allow the use of other HTML tags to run JavaScript. ### Affected Resources - [Operations.php:258](https://github.com/haxtheweb/haxcms-php/blob/master/system/backend/php/lib/Operations.php#L258) `saveManifest()` - [Operations.php:868](https://github.com/haxtheweb/haxcms-php/blob/master/system/backend/php/lib/Operations.php#L868) `saveNode()` - `https://<site>/<user>/system/api/saveNode` - `https://<site>/<user>/system/api/saveManifest` ### Impact An authenticated attacker can use the site editor and settings editor to store malicious payloads in a HAX site which execute arbitrary JavaScript when a user visits the sit...

Phone numbers are a goldmine for SIM swappers. A researcher found how to get this precious piece of information through a clever brute-force attack.

### Impact The application is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks due to incorrect input validation and sanitization of user-input data. An attacker can inject arbitrary HTML code, including JavaScript scripts, into the page processed by the user's browser, allowing them to steal sensitive data, hijack user sessions, or conduct other malicious activities. ### Patches The issue is fixed in https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-translation-manager/pull/475 which is released in version 0.6.8 ### Workarounds Only authenticated users with access to the translation manager are impacted. ### References [[PT-2025-04] laravel translation manager.pdf](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/20639250/PT-2025-04.laravel.translation.manager.pdf) ### Reported by Positive Technologies (Artem Deikov, Ilya Tsaturov, Daniil Satyaev, Roman Cheremnykh, Artem Danilov, Stanislav Gleym)

Red Hat is built on open source, a global decentralized and transparent community of international engineers who put security at the forefront of technology. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is the trusted operating system (OS) used by more than 90% of Fortune 500 companies and customers in more than 174 countries. This trust is earned largely due to RHEL's reliability and stability as well as Red Hat's long history of actively contributing to open source projects. There is one key factor that is often discounted with respect to the Linux OS, however, which is its reputation for having enhanced

Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on a new campaign targeting Brazilian users since the start of 2025 to infect users with a malicious extension for Chromium-based web browsers and siphon user authentication data. "Some of the phishing emails were sent from the servers of compromised companies, increasing the chances of a successful attack," Positive Technologies security researcher
