It's no great revelation to say that SaaS applications have changed the way we operate, both in our personal and professional lives. We routinely rely on cloud-based and remote applications to conduct our basic functions, with the result that the only true perimeter of our networks has become the identities with which we log into these services. Unfortunately – as is so often the case – our

### Impact Improper authentication on some endpoints used for member actions would allow an attacker to perform member-only actions, and read member information. ### Vulnerable versions This security vulnerability is present in Ghost v4.46.0-v5.89.5. ### Patches v5.89.5 contains a fix for this issue. ### Workarounds None. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Email us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

### Impact A malicious homeserver can craft a room or room structure such that the predecessors form a cycle. The matrix-js-sdk's `getRoomUpgradeHistory` function will infinitely recurse in this case, causing the code to hang. This method is public but also called by the 'leaveRoomChain()' method, so leaving a room will also trigger the bug. Even if the CVSS score would be 4.1 ([AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:L](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss/v3-calculator?vector=AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:L&version=3.1)) we classify this as High severity issue. ### Patches This was patched in matrix-js-sdk 34.3.1. ### Workarounds Sanity check rooms before passing them to the matrix-js-sdk or avoid calling either `getRoomUpgradeHistory` or `leaveRoomChain`. ### References N/A.

### Impact Possible vulnerability to XSS injection if .po dictionary definition files is corrupted ### Patches Update gettext.js to 2.0.3 ### Workarounds Make sure you control the origin of the definition catalog to prevent the use of this flaw in the definition of plural forms.

### Summary An arbitrary file write vulnerability exists in the webcrack module when processing specifically crafted malicious code on Windows systems. This vulnerability is triggered when using the unpack bundles feature in conjunction with the saving feature. If a module name includes a path traversal sequence with Windows path separators, an attacker can exploit this to overwrite files on the host system. ### Details Source: [packages/webcrack/src/unpack/bundle.ts#L79](https://github.com/j4k0xb/webcrack/blob/241f9469e6401f3dabc6373233d85a5e76966b54/packages/webcrack/src/unpack/bundle.ts#L79) ```ts import { posix } from 'node:path'; import type { Module } from './module'; // eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/unbound-method const { dirname, join, normalize } = posix; /* ... snip ... */ const modulePath = normalize(join(path, module.path)); if (!modulePath.startsWith(path)) { throw new Error(`detected path traversal: ${module.path}`); } await mkdir(dirname(modulePath...

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new malicious package on the Python Package Index (PyPI) repository that masquerades as a library from the Solana blockchain platform but is actually designed to steal victims' secrets. "The legitimate Solana Python API project is known as 'solana-py' on GitHub, but simply 'solana' on the Python software registry, PyPI," Sonatype researcher Ax Sharma

Protections like Windows Smart App Control are useful but susceptible to attacks that allow threat actors initial access to an environment without triggering any alerts.

The North Korea-linked threat actor known as Moonstone Sleet has continued to push malicious npm packages to the JavaScript package registry with the aim of infecting Windows systems, underscoring the persistent nature of their campaigns. The packages in question, harthat-api and harthat-hash, were published on July 7, 2024, according to Datadog Security Labs. Both the libraries did not attract
