Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In February 2025
The WooCommerce Cart Count Shortcode WordPress plugin before 1.1.0 does not validate and escape some of its shortcode attributes before outputting them back in a page/post where the shortcode is embed, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.
The Simple Certain Time to Show Content WordPress plugin before 1.3.1 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before outputting it back in the page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against high privilege users such as admin.
This advisory addresses a file placement vulnerability that could allow assets to be uploaded to unintended directories on the server.
* Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory: A vulnerability exists in the asset upload functionality that allows users to upload files to directories outside of the intended temporary directory.
Delta Electronics CNCSoft-G2 lacks proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. If a target visits a malicious page or opens a malicious file an attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
An attacker can pass a malicious malformed token which causes unexpected memory to be consumed during parsing.
SSH servers which implement file transfer protocols are vulnerable to a denial of service attack from clients which complete the key exchange slowly, or not at all, causing pending content to be read into memory, but never transmitted.
Prior to 25.2, a local authenticated attacker can elevate privileges on a system with Privilege Management for Windows installed, via the manipulation of COM objects under certain circumstances where an EPM policy allows for automatic privilege elevation of a user process.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: goldfish: Fix free_irq() on remove
Pass the correct dev_id to free_irq() to fix this splat when the driver
is unbound:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 30 at kernel/irq/manage.c:1895 free_irq
Trying to free already-free IRQ 65

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i40e: Fix call trace in setup_tx_descriptors
After PF reset and ethtool -t there was call trace in dmesg
sometimes leading to panic. When there was some time, around 5
seconds, between reset and test there were no errors.
Problem was that pf reset calls i40e_vsi_close in prep_for_reset
and ethtool -t calls i40e_vsi_close in diag_test. If there was not
enough time between those commands the second i40e_vsi_close starts
before previous i40e_vsi_close was done which leads to crash.
Add check to diag_test if pf is in reset and don't start offline
tests if it is true.
Add netif_info("testing failed") into unhappy path of i40e_diag_test()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clocksource: hyper-v: unexport __init-annotated hv_init_clocksource()
EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text
section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot
use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up
with kernel panic.
modpost used to detect it, but it has been broken for a decade.
Recently, I fixed modpost so it started to warn it again, then this
showed up in linux-next builds.
There are two ways to fix it:
- Remove __init
- Remove EXPORT_SYMBOL
I chose the latter for this case because the only in-tree call-site,
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mshyperv.c is never compiled as modular.
(CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST is boolean)
