The brace-expansion library generates arbitrary strings containing a common prefix and suffix. From 5.0.0 to before 5.0.6, the max option was being applied too late. When expanding a single large numeric range like {1..10000000}, the sequence generation loop generates all 10 million intermediate elements before the max limit is applied With max=10, the output is correctly limited to 10 items, but the process still allocates ~505 MB and spends ~800ms building the full intermediate array. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.0.6.
A stored
cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in the web
management interface of TP-Link's TL-SG108PE v5 switch due to improper sanitation of the SYSNAM
configuration parameter during configuration file import. An attacker with
administrator access can inject malicious script into the device configuration,
which may be stored and executed in the administrator’s browser when the
affected interface is viewed.
Successful
exploitation may allow session cookie theft, unauthorized configuration
changes, or access to sensitive information exposed through the management
interface.
