Vulnerabilities

ws is an open source WebSocket client and server for Node.js. All versions from 1.1.0 up to (but not including) 5.2.5, from 6.0.0 up to 6.2.4, from 7.0.0 up to 7.5.11, and from 8.0.0 up to 8.21.0 are affected by a memory exhaustion DoS vulnerability. A peer can send a high volume of exceptionally small fragments and data chunks, with modest network traffic, to force the remote peer into allocating and holding structural wrappers that consume far more memory than the default documented message-size limit, leading to process termination due to OOM. This issue has been fixed in versions 5.2.5, 6.2.4, 7.5.11, and 8.21.0.

ws is an open source WebSocket client and server for Node.js. Prior to 8.20.1, the websocket.close() implementation is vulnerable to uninitialized memory disclosure when a TypedArray is passed as the reason argument. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.20.1.

Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data vulnerability in Drupal REST Views allows Forceful Browsing.This issue affects REST Views: from 0.0.0 before 3.0.1.

The MM-Breaking News WordPress plugin through 0.7.9 does not escape the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] parameter before outputting it back in an attribute, which could lead to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting in old web browsers

Git for Windows, the Windows port of Git, ships with an executable called `connect.exe`, which implements a SOCKS5 proxy that can be used to connect e.g. to SSH servers via proxies when certain ports are blocked for outgoing connections. The location of `connect.exe`'s config file is hard-coded as `/etc/connectrc` which will typically be interpreted as `C:\etc\connectrc`. Since `C:\etc` can be created by any authenticated user, this makes `connect.exe` susceptible to malicious files being placed there by other users on the same multi-user machine. The problem has been patched in Git for Windows v2.40.1. As a workaround, create the folder `etc` on all drives where Git commands are run, and remove read/write access from those folders. Alternatively, watch out for malicious ` :\etc\connectrc` files on multi-user machines.

The MS-Reviews WordPress plugin through 1.5 does not sanitise and escape reviews, which could allow users any authenticated users, such as Subscribers to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks

Git for Windows is the Windows port of the revision control system Git. Prior to Git for Windows version 2.39.2, when `gitk` is run on Windows, it potentially runs executables from the current directory inadvertently, which can be exploited with some social engineering to trick users into running untrusted code. A patch is available in version 2.39.2. As a workaround, avoid using `gitk` (or Git GUI's "Visualize History" functionality) in clones of untrusted repositories.

A vulnerability was found in moodle-block_sitenews 1.0. It has been classified as problematic. This affects the function get_content of the file block_sitenews.php. The manipulation leads to cross-site request forgery. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. Upgrading to version 1.1 is able to address this issue. The name of the patch is cd18d8b1afe464ae6626832496f4e070bac4c58f. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-216879.

Squirrel.Windows is both a toolset and a library that provides installation and update functionality for Windows desktop applications. Installers generated by Squirrel.Windows 2.0.1 and earlier contain an issue with the DLL search path, which may lead to insecurely loading Dynamic Link Libraries. As a result, arbitrary code may be executed with the privilege of the user invoking the installer.

The Google Places Reviews WordPress plugin before 2.0.0 does not properly escape its Google API key setting, which is reflected on the site's administration panel. A malicious administrator could abuse this bug, in a multisite WordPress configuration, to trick super-administrators into viewing the booby-trapped payload and taking over their account.

GitHub: Git for Windows' uninstaller vulnerable to DLL hijacking when run under the SYSTEM user account.

lib/cmd.js in the node-windows package before 1.0.0-beta.6 for Node.js allows command injection via the PID parameter.

The dated_news (aka Dated News) extension through 5.1.1 for TYPO3 allows SQL Injection.

The hndtst_action_instance_callback AJAX call of the Handsome Testimonials & Reviews WordPress plugin before 2.1.1, available to any authenticated users, does not sanitise, validate or escape the hndtst_previewShortcodeInstanceId POST parameter before using it in a SQL statement, leading to an SQL Injection issue.

ws is an open source WebSocket client and server library for Node.js. A specially crafted value of the `Sec-Websocket-Protocol` header can be used to significantly slow down a ws server. The vulnerability has been fixed in [email protected] (https://github.com/websockets/ws/commit/00c425ec77993773d823f018f64a5c44e17023ff). In vulnerable versions of ws, the issue can be mitigated by reducing the maximum allowed length of the request headers using the [`--max-http-header-size=size`](https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#cli_max_http_header_size_size) and/or the [`maxHeaderSize`](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_createserver_options_requestlistener) options.

Jaws through 1.8.0 allows remote authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary code via crafted use of UploadTheme to upload a theme ZIP archive containing a .php file that is able to execute OS commands. NOTE: this is unrelated to the JAWS (aka Job Access With Speech) product.

The mintToken function of a smart contract implementation for CWS, an Ethereum token, has an integer overflow that allows the owner of the contract to set the balance of an arbitrary user to any value.

uws is a WebSocket server library. By sending a 256mb websocket message to a uws server instance with permessage-deflate enabled, there is a possibility used compression will shrink said 256mb down to less than 16mb of websocket payload which passes the length check of 16mb payload. This data will then inflate up to 256mb and crash the node process by exceeding V8's maximum string size. This affects uws >=0.10.0 <=0.10.8.

ws is a "simple to use, blazing fast and thoroughly tested websocket client, server and console for node.js, up-to-date against RFC-6455". By sending an overly long websocket payload to a `ws` server, it is possible to crash the node process. This affects ws 1.1.0 and earlier.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in Git 1.x for Windows allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse git.exe file in the current working directory. NOTE: 2.x is unaffected.
