Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-27 15:33 – Updated: 2026-05-27 15:33In Slican telephone exchanges it is possible to manage the control panel remotely. An unauthenticated attacker can connect to the modem via a telephone with a specific caller ID. This allows them to bypass admin authentication and gain full access to the service protocol and configuration panel. This vulnerability is independent of the telephone exchanges configuration. If remote access is disabled, calling with this caller ID will temporarily enable it.
This issue was fixed in versions below: - IPL-256: version 6.61.0040 - IPM-032: version 6.61.0040 - CCT-1668: version 6.56.0430 - MAC-6400: version 6.56.0430 - CXS-0424: version 6.30.0510
The issue STILL EXISTS in End-Of-Life telephone exchanges in versions 4.xx and below: - CCT-1668 (CCT1CPU) - MAC-6400 - CXS-0424 These products were discontinued in 2011 and 2012 and and will not receive updates. These products require a hardware update in order to receive a software update. The vendor recommends that users of these devices contact the their service department directly to determine the options for upgrading.

GHSA-4GM4-C4MH-4P7W
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-06-17 22:28 – Updated: 2024-06-17 22:28Impact
A MFA bypass in the Firefly III OAuth flow may allow malicious users to bypass the MFA-check. This allows malicious users to use password spraying to gain access to your Firefly III data using passwords stolen from other sources. As OAuth applications are easily enumerable using an incrementing id, an attacker could try sign an OAuth application up to a users profile quite easily if they have created one. The attacker would also need to know the victims username and password.
Patches
Problem has been patched in Firefly III v6.1.17 and up.
Workarounds
- Use a unique password for your Firefly III instance,
- Store your password securely, i.e. in a password manager or in your head.

Mitigation
Funnel all access through a single choke point to simplify how users can access a resource. For every access, perform a check to determine if the user has permissions to access the resource.
CAPEC-127: Directory Indexing
An adversary crafts a request to a target that results in the target listing/indexing the content of a directory as output. One common method of triggering directory contents as output is to construct a request containing a path that terminates in a directory name rather than a file name since many applications are configured to provide a list of the directory's contents when such a request is received. An adversary can use this to explore the directory tree on a target as well as learn the names of files. This can often end up revealing test files, backup files, temporary files, hidden files, configuration files, user accounts, script contents, as well as naming conventions, all of which can be used by an attacker to mount additional attacks.
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.
