LibreOffice : Macro Execution Bypass
LibreOffice has a feature where documents can specify that pre-installed macros can be executed on various script events such as mouse-over, document-open etc. Access is intended to be restricted to scripts under the share/Scripts/python, user/Scripts/python sub-directories of the LibreOffice install. Protection was added, to address CVE-2018-16858, to avoid a directory traversal attack where scripts in arbitrary locations on the file system could be executed. However this new protection could be bypassed by a URL encoding attack. In the fixed versions, the parsed url describing the script location is correctly encoded before further processing. This issue affects: Document Foundation LibreOffice versions prior to 6.2.6.
ETIC RAS 4.5.0 and earlier API directory traversal vulnerability
All versions of ETIC Telecom Remote Access Server (RAS) 4.5.0 and priorโs application programmable interface (API) is vulnerable to directory traversal through several different methods. This could allow an attacker to read sensitive files from the server, including SSH private keys, passwords, scripts, python objects, database files, and more.
Flower (Celery web UI) OAuth bypass vulnerability
Flower, a web UI for the Celery Python RPC framework, all versions as of 05-02-2022 is vulnerable to an OAuth authentication bypass. An attacker could then access the Flower API to discover and invoke arbitrary Celery RPC calls or deny service by shutting down Celery task nodes.
Django 2.2 < 2.2.24, 3.x < 3.1.12, 3.2 < 3.2.4: IP validation allows leading zero in octal literals
In Django 2.2 before 2.2.24, 3.x before 3.1.12, and 3.2 before 3.2.4, URLValidator, validate_ipv4_address, and validate_ipv46_address do not prohibit leading zero characters in octal literals. This may allow a bypass of access control that is based on IP addresses. (validate_ipv4_address and validate_ipv46_address are unaffected with Python 3.9.5+..) .
StackStorm < 3.4.1, Python 3.x, non-utf-8 locale, Unicode data, infinite loop
StackStorm before 3.4.1, in some situations, has an infinite loop that consumes all available memory and disk space. This can occur if Python 3.x is used, the locale is not utf-8, and there is an attempt to log Unicode data (from an action or rule name).
Insecure Library Loading in March Hare WINCVS before 2.8.01 and CVS Suite before 2009R2 build 6610 via DLL files
March Hare WINCVS before 2.8.01 build 6610, and CVS Suite before 2009R2 build 6610, contains an Insecure Library Loading vulnerability in the wincvs2.exe or wincvs.exe file, which may allow local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse Python or TCL DLL file in the current working directory.
Buffer overflow in Python Xen bindings (Xen 4.0.x, 4.1.x, 4.2.x) via xc_vcpu_setaffinity call
Buffer overflow in the Python bindings for the xc_vcpu_setaffinity call in Xen 4.0.x, 4.1.x, and 4.2.x allows local administrators with permissions to configure VCPU affinity to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and xend toolstack crash) and possibly gain privileges via a crafted cpumap.
Unverified SSL hostname in Apache Qpid Python client
The Python client in Apache Qpid before 2.2 does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
Insecure SSL validation in RHEV-M vds_installer (pre-3.1) allows remote code execution via MITM
The vds_installer in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager (RHEV-M) before 3.1, when adding a host, uses the -k curl parameter when downloading deployUtil.py and vds_bootstrap.py, which prevents SSL certificates from being validated and allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Python code via a man-in-the-middle attack.
Maya 3D Software Remote Code Execution via MEL Commands in .ma and .mb Files
Autodesk Maya 8.0, 8.5, 2008, 2009, and 2010 and Alias Wavefront Maya 6.5 and 7.0 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a (1) .ma or (2) .mb file that uses the Maya Embedded Language (MEL) python command or unspecified other MEL commands, related to "Script Nodes."
