Summary
Jenkins Eggplant Runner Plugin protection mechanism disabled
Details

Jenkins Eggplant Runner Plugin 0.0.1.301.v963cffe8ddb_8 and earlier sets the Java system property jdk.http.auth.tunneling.disabledSchemes to an empty value as part of applying a proxy configuration.

This disables a protection mechanism of the Java runtime addressing CVE-2016-5597.

As of publication of this advisory, there is no fix.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 17:09 – Updated: 2023-05-22 21:30
VLAI
Details

A vulnerability in the firmware of the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers could allow an authenticated, physical attacker to bypass Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Secure Boot validation checks and load a compromised software image on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of the server firmware upgrade images. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by installing a server firmware version that would allow the attacker to disable UEFI Secure Boot. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass the signature validation checks that are done by UEFI Secure Boot technology and load a compromised software image on the affected device. A compromised software image is any software image that has not been digitally signed by Cisco.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-15 20:59 – Updated: 2026-01-06 22:41
VLAI
Summary
Misskey has a login rate limit bypass via spoofed X-Forwarded-For header
Details

Summary

When using an untrusted reverse proxy or not using a reverse proxy at all, attackers can bypass IP rate limiting by adding a forged X-Forwarded-For header. Starting with version 2025.9.1, an option (trustProxy) has been added in config file to prevent this from happening. However, it is initialized with an insecure default value before version 2025.12.0, making it still vulnerable if the configuration is not set correctly.

Workaround

If you are running Misskey with a trusted reverse proxy, you should not be affected by this vulnerability.

  • There is no workaround for the Misskey itself. Please update Misskey to the latest version or set up a trusted reverse proxy.
  • From v2025.9.1 to v2025.11.1, workaround is available. Set trustProxy: false in config file.
  • This is patched in v2025.12.0 by flipping default value of trustProxy to false. If you are using trusted reverse proxy and not remember you manually overrided this value, please take time to check your config for optimal behavior.

Details

Fastify recommend not trusting X-Forwarded-For IPs Due to misconfiguration in https://github.com/misskey-dev/misskey/blob/develop/packages/backend/src/server/api/SigninApiService.ts#L94 attacks can spoof their IPs.

Impact

An attacker can brute force accounts bypassing rate limiting protection.

  "details": "### Summary\nWhen using an untrusted reverse proxy or not using a reverse proxy at all, attackers can bypass IP rate limiting by adding a forged X-Forwarded-For header. Starting with version 2025.9.1, an option (`trustProxy`) has been added in config file to prevent this from happening. However, it is initialized with an insecure default value before version 2025.12.0, making it still vulnerable if the configuration is not set correctly.\n\n### Workaround\n\nIf you are running Misskey with a trusted reverse proxy, you should *not* be affected by this vulnerability.\n\n- There is no workaround for the Misskey itself. Please update Misskey to the latest version or set up a trusted reverse proxy.\n- From v2025.9.1 to v2025.11.1, workaround is available. Set `trustProxy: false` in config file.\n- This is patched in v2025.12.0 by flipping default value of `trustProxy` to `false`. If you are using trusted reverse proxy and not remember you manually overrided this value, please take time to check your config for optimal behavior.\n\n### Details\n[Fastify recommend not trusting X-Forwarded-For IPs](https://fastify.dev/docs/latest/Reference/Server/#trustproxy)\nDue to misconfiguration in https://github.com/misskey-dev/misskey/blob/develop/packages/backend/src/server/api/SigninApiService.ts#L94 attacks can spoof their IPs.\n\n### PoC\n\n```\nPOST /api/signin-flow HTTP/1.1\nHost: misskey.localhost:3123\nContent-Length: 45\nContent-Type: application/json\nConnection: keep-alive\nX-Forwarded-For: 127.1.1.31, 1.1.1.12\n\n{\"username\":\"admin\",\n\t\"password\":\"password\"}\n```\n![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ce9f77e2-b339-4081-86a6-d44ed42e9ca5)\n\n\n### Impact\nAn attacker can brute force accounts bypassing rate limiting protection.",

CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws

An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
