Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In December 2023
An issue was discovered in BeyondTrust Privilege Management for Windows through 5.6. An attacker can spawn a process with multiple users as part of the security token (prior to Avecto elevation). When Avecto elevates the process, it removes the user who is launching the process, but not the second user. Therefore this second user still retains access and can give permission to the process back to the first user.
When using the default implementation of Verify to check a Captcha, verification can be bypassed. For example, if the first parameter is a non-existent id, the second parameter is an empty string, and the third parameter is true, the function will always consider the Captcha to be correct.
The LinkedCustomFields plugin for MantisBT allows users to link values between two custom fields, creating linked drop-downs. Prior to version 2.0.1, cross-site scripting in the MantisBT LinkedCustomFields plugin allows Javascript execution, when a crafted Custom Field is linked via the plugin and displayed when reporting a new Issue or editing an existing one. This issue is fixed in version 2.0.1. As a workaround, one may utilize MantisBT's default Content Security Policy, which blocks script execution.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Openfiler ESA v2.99.1 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via injecting a crafted payload into the nic parameter.
XunRuiCMS v4.5.5 was discovered to contain a reflective cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability via the component /admin.php.
DedeCMS v5.7.111 was discovered to contain a reflective cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability via the component select_media_post_wangEditor.php.
MindsDB connects artificial intelligence models to real time data. Versions prior to 23.11.4.1 contain a limited file write vulnerability in `file.py` Users should use MindsDB's `staging` branch or v23.11.4.1, which contain a fix for the issue.
The EmbedPress WordPress plugin before 3.9.2 does not sanitise and escape user input 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
The EmbedPress WordPress plugin before 3.9.2 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before outputting it back in the page containing a specific content, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against high privilege users such as admin
The WP Crowdfunding WordPress plugin before 2.1.8 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup)
