GHSA-gj54-gwj9-x2c6: eKuiper /config/uploads API arbitrary file writing may lead to RCE

### Summary eKuiper /config/uploads API supports accessing remote web URLs and saving files in the local upload directory, but there are no security restrictions, resulting in arbitrary file writing through ../. If run with root privileges, RCE can be achieved by writing crontab files or ssh keys. ### Details ```go func fileUploadHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { switch r.Method { // Upload or overwrite a file case http.MethodPost: switch r.Header.Get("Content-Type") { case "application/json": fc := &fileContent{} defer r.Body.Close() err := json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(fc) if err != nil { handleError(w, err, "Invalid body: Error decoding file json", logger) return } err = fc.Validate() if err != nil { handleError(w, err, "Invalid body: missing necessary field", logger) return } filePath := filepath.Join(uploadDir, fc.Name) err = upload(fc) ``` - The fc.Name parameter do not safely filtered. ### PoC ``` POST /co...

GHSA-fv2p-qj5p-wqq4: LF Edge eKuiper vulnerable to File Path Traversal leading to file replacement

### Summary Path traversal is also known as directory traversal. These vulnerabilities enable an attacker to read arbitrary files on the server that is running an application. In this case, an attacker might be able to write to arbitrary files on the server, allowing them to modify application data or behavior, and ultimately take full control of the server. ### Details The file handler function trusts the filename provided by the user. This includes the cases when the user uses a path instead of the filename. This makes possible to write arbitrary files to the system and **replace** the files owned by _kuiper_ user on the filesystem. The vulnerable function is `fileUploadHandler` which is shown below: https://github.com/lf-edge/ekuiper/blob/1e6b6b6601445eb05316532f5fbef7f0a863ecfe/internal/server/rest.go#L329-L359 Exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to rewrite the files owned by ekuiper including the main kuiper binaries as they are owned by _kuiper_ user: ![kuip...

GHSA-pr9r-gxgp-9rm8: n8n Vulnerable to Denial of Service via Malformed Binary Data Requests

## Summary Denial of Service vulnerability in `/rest/binary-data` endpoint when processing empty filesystem URIs (`filesystem://` or `filesystem-v2://`). ### Impact This is a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to cause service unavailability through malformed filesystem URI requests. The vulnerability affects: - The `/rest/binary-data` endpoint - n8n.cloud instances (confirmed HTTP/2 524 timeout responses) Attackers can exploit this by sending GET requests with empty filesystem URIs (`filesystem://` or `filesystem-v2://`) to the `/rest/binary-data` endpoint, causing resource exhaustion and service disruption. ### Patches The issue has been patched in [1.99.0](https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/releases/tag/n8n%401.99.0). All users should upgrade to this version or later. The fix introduces strict checking of URI patterns. Patch commit: https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/pull/16229
