Microsoft Common Data Model SDK Denial of Service Vulnerability
OpenTelemetry Memory exhaustion via unbounded http_method cardinality
OpenTelemetry, also known as OTel for short, is a vendor-neutral open-source Observability framework for instrumenting, generating, collecting, and exporting telemetry data such as traces, metrics, logs. Autoinstrumentation out of the box adds the label `http_method` that has unbound cardinality. It leads to the server's potential memory exhaustion when many malicious requests are sent. HTTP method for requests can be easily set by an attacker to be random and long. In order to be affected program has to be instrumented for HTTP handlers and does not filter any unknown HTTP methods on the level of CDN, LB, previous middleware, etc. This issue has been patched in version 0.41b0.
Memory and file descriptor leaks in python-apt versions pre-GHSL-2020-170 update
Various memory and file descriptor leaks were found in apt-python files python/arfile.cc, python/tag.cc, python/tarfile.cc, aka GHSL-2020-170. This issue affects: python-apt 1.1.0~beta1 versions prior to 1.1.0~beta1ubuntu0.16.04.10; 1.6.5ubuntu0 versions prior to 1.6.5ubuntu0.4; 2.0.0ubuntu0 versions prior to 2.0.0ubuntu0.20.04.2; 2.1.3ubuntu1 versions prior to 2.1.3ubuntu1.1;
Unauthorized access to Planet API pre-2.0.1
Planet is software that provides satellite data. The secret file stores the user's Planet API authentication information. It should only be accessible by the user, but before version 2.0.1, its permissions allowed the user's group and non-group to read the file as well. This issue was patched in version 2.0.1. As a workaround, set the secret file permissions to only user read/write by hand.
Command injection in libvcs < 0.11.1 via Mercurial (hg)
The package libvcs before 0.11.1 are vulnerable to Command Injection via argument injection. When calling the update_repo function (when using hg), the url parameter is passed to the hg clone command. By injecting some hg options it was possible to get arbitrary command execution.
MITM vulnerability in OpenStack keystonemiddleware <0.11.0 and <1.2.0 via insecure "paste.ini" option
OpenStack keystonemiddleware (formerly python-keystoneclient) 0.x before 0.11.0 and 1.x before 1.2.0 disables certification verification when the "insecure" option is set in a paste configuration (paste.ini) file regardless of the value, which allows remote attackers to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks via a crafted certificate.
Cookiecutter < 2.1.1: Command injection via "checkout" param, allows arbitrary command execution
The package cookiecutter before 2.1.1 are vulnerable to Command Injection via hg argument injection. When calling the cookiecutter function from Python code with the checkout parameter, it is passed to the hg checkout command in a way that additional flags can be set. The additional flags can be used to perform a command injection.
GitHub pyload/pyload < 0.5.0b3.dev44 has improper certificate validation, posing security risks
Improper Certificate Validation in GitHub repository pyload/pyload prior to 0.5.0b3.dev44.
Stored XSS in pyload/pyload < 0.5.0b3.dev42 GitHub
Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Stored in GitHub repository pyload/pyload prior to 0.5.0b3.dev42.
Improper UI layer restriction in pyload (before 0.5.0b3.dev33) allows unauthorized access
Improper Restriction of Rendered UI Layers or Frames in GitHub repository pyload/pyload prior to 0.5.0b3.dev33.
