Cobbler Privilege Escalation via PYTHON_EGG_CACHE
cobbler has local privilege escalation via the use of insecure location for PYTHON_EGG_CACHE
IDAPython Plugin < 1.5.2.3 Arbitrary Code Execution
The IDAPython plugin before 1.5.2.3 in IDA Pro allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted IDB file, related to improper handling of certain swig_runtime_data files in the current working directory.
IPython Notebook 0.12-1.x WebSocket Origin Validation Bypass
IPython Notebook 0.12 through 1.x before 1.2 does not validate the origin of websocket requests, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging knowledge of the kernel id and a crafted page.
Mod_python 3.2.7 Directory Traversal Vulnerability
Directory traversal vulnerability in the FileSession object in Mod_python module 3.2.7 for Apache allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a crafted session cookie.
Mailman 2.1.5 Attachment Scrubber DoS.
The attachment scrubber (Scrubber.py) in Mailman 2.1.5 and earlier, when using Python's library email module 2.5, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (mailing list delivery failure) via a multipart MIME message with a single part that has two blank lines between the first boundary and the end boundary.
Unauthenticated DoS in Products.CMFCore
Products.CMFCore are the key framework services for the Zope Content Management Framework (CMF). The use of Python's marshal module to handle unchecked input in a public method on `PortalFolder` objects can lead to an unauthenticated denial of service and crash situation. The code in question is exposed by all portal software built on top of `Products.CMFCore`, such as Plone. All deployments are vulnerable. The code has been fixed in `Products.CMFCore` version 3.2.
DoS vulnerability in ROS2 Foxy Fitzroy
ROS2 (Robot Operating System 2) Foxy Fitzroy ROS_VERSION=2 and ROS_PYTHON_VERSION=3 are vulnerable to Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. A malicious user potentially exploited the vulnerability remotely and crashed the ROS2 nodes.
Unauthorized node injection vulnerability in ROS2 Foxy Fitzroy
An unauthorized node injection vulnerability has been identified in ROS2 Foxy Fitzroy versions where ROS_VERSION is 2 and ROS_PYTHON_VERSION is 3. This vulnerability could allow a malicious user to inject malicious ROS2 nodes into the system remotely. Once injected, these nodes could disrupt the normal operations of the system or cause other potentially harmful behavior.
Unauthorized access vulnerability in ROS2 Foxy Fitzroy
An unauthorized access vulnerability has been discovered in ROS2 Foxy Fitzroy versions where ROS_VERSION is 2 and ROS_PYTHON_VERSION is 3. This vulnerability could potentially allow a malicious user to gain unauthorized access to multiple ROS2 nodes remotely. Unauthorized access to these nodes could result in compromised system integrity, the execution of arbitrary commands, and disclosure of sensitive information.
yt-dlp --exec shell command remote code execution
yt-dlp is a youtube-dl fork with additional features and fixes. yt-dlp allows the user to provide shell command lines to be executed at various stages in its download steps through the `--exec` flag. This flag allows output template expansion in its argument, so that metadata values may be used in the shell commands. The metadata fields can be combined with the `%q` conversion, which is intended to quote/escape these values so they can be safely passed to the shell. However, the escaping used for `cmd` (the shell used by Python's `subprocess` on Windows) does not properly escape special characters, which can allow for remote code execution if `--exec` is used directly with maliciously crafted remote data. This vulnerability only impacts `yt-dlp` on Windows, and the vulnerability is present regardless of whether `yt-dlp` is run from `cmd` or from `PowerShell`. Support for output template expansion in `--exec`, along with this vulnerable behavior, was added to `yt-dlp` in version 2021.04.11. yt-dlp version 2023.09.24 fixes this issue by properly escaping each special character. `\n` will be replaced by `\r` as no way of escaping it has been found. It is recommended to upgrade yt-dlp to version 2023.09.24 as soon as possible. Also, always be careful when using --exec, because while this specific vulnerability has been patched, using unvalidated input in shell commands is inherently dangerous. For Windows users who are not able to upgrade: 1. Avoid using any output template expansion in --exec other than {} (filepath). 2. If expansion in --exec is needed, verify the fields you are using do not contain ", | or &. 3. Instead of using --exec, write the info json and load the fields from it instead.
Introducing the "VAITP dataset": a specialized repository of Python vulnerabilities and patches, meticulously compiled for the use of the security research community. As Python's prominence grows, understanding and addressing potential security vulnerabilities become crucial. Crafted by and for the cybersecurity community, this dataset offers a valuable resource for researchers, analysts, and developers to analyze and mitigate the security risks associated with Python. Through the comprehensive exploration of vulnerabilities and corresponding patches, the VAITP dataset fosters a safer and more resilient Python ecosystem, encouraging collaborative advancements in programming security.
