GHSA-5VFG-HF4P-8HCF

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 17:30 – Updated: 2023-12-31 21:30
VLAI
Details

A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when Microsoft Windows fails to handle file creation permissions, which could allow an attacker to create files in a protected Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) location.To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker could run a specially crafted application to bypass Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) variable security in Windows.The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting security feature behavior to enforce permissions., aka 'Windows Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability'.

Summary
Object state limitation has no effect
Details

Object state limitation is a policy you can use in your roles to limit access to content based on specific object state values. Due to a flawed earlier update, these limitations were ineffective in releases made since February 16th 2022. They would grant access to the given content regardless of the object state. Depending on how your frontent is designed, knowing the URL to the content may or may not be required to access it. If you are using object state limitations in your roles, this issue is critical. Please apply the fix as soon as possible.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-01-20 21:31 – Updated: 2026-06-30 03:35
VLAI
Details

A flaw in Node.js’s Permissions model allows attackers to bypass --allow-fs-read and --allow-fs-write restrictions using crafted relative symlink paths. By chaining directories and symlinks, a script granted access only to the current directory can escape the allowed path and read sensitive files. This breaks the expected isolation guarantees and enables arbitrary file read/write, leading to potential system compromise. This vulnerability affects users of the permission model on Node.js v20, v22, v24, and v25.

Details

If a malicious attacker has used another vulnerability to gain full control over a content process, they may be able to replace the alternate data resources stored in the JavaScript Start-up Bytecode Cache (JSBC) for other JavaScript code. If the parent process then runs this replaced code, the executed script would be run with the parent process' privileges, escaping the sandbox on content processes. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 60.

In Matter (aka connectedhomeip or Project CHIP) through 1.4.0.0, the WriteAcl function deletes all existing ACL entries first, and then attempts to recreate them based on user input. If input validation fails during decoding, the process stops, and no entries are restored by access-control-server.cpp, i.e., a denial of service.
