GHSA-W37M-7FHW-FMV9
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-11 22:49 – Updated: 2025-12-11 22:49A vulnerability affects certain React packages for versions 19.0.0, 19.0.1, 19.1.0, 19.1.1, 19.1.2, 19.2.0, and 19.2.1 and frameworks that use the affected packages, including Next.js 15.x and 16.x using the App Router. The issue is tracked upstream as CVE-2025-55183.
A malicious HTTP request can be crafted and sent to any App Router endpoint that can return the compiled source code of Server Functions. This could reveal business logic, but would not expose secrets unless they were hardcoded directly into Server Function code.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-08-14 21:10 – Updated: 2025-07-28 15:53Versions of ed25519-dalek prior to v2.0 model private and public keys as separate types which can be assembled into a Keypair, and also provide APIs for serializing and deserializing 64-byte private/public keypairs.
Such APIs and serializations are inherently unsafe as the public key is one of the inputs used in the deterministic computation of the S part of the signature, but not in the R value. An adversary could somehow use the signing function as an oracle that allows arbitrary public keys as input can obtain two signatures for the same message sharing the same R and only differ on the S part.
Unfortunately, when this happens, one can easily extract the private key.
Revised public APIs in v2.0 of ed25519-dalek do NOT allow a decoupled private/public keypair as signing input, except as part of specially labeled "hazmat" APIs which are clearly labeled as being dangerous if misused.

GHSA-W9Q3-G4P5-5Q2R
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-05-13 20:05 – Updated: 2025-05-13 20:05Summary
Users with limited sudo privileges (e.g. execution of a single command) can list sudo privileges of other users using the -U flag. This doesn't happen with the original sudo.
PoC
The initial test has been done in a container running Ubuntu 24.04 and installing oxidizr, running sudo-rs 0.2.2.
A user (bob) has been added with only ps command executable through sudo:
root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
bob ALL=(ALL:ALL) /usr/bin/ps
The user is not able to read the /etc/sudoers file and running sudo -l -Uroot with original sudo (version 1.9.15p5) causes the following error:
Sorry, user bob is not allowed to execute 'list' as root on 43d4aed3cdbd.
The same command with sudo-rs is run without denying the execution:
User root may run the following commands on 43d4aed3cdbd:
(ALL : ALL) ALL
The same happens for other non-root users:
bob@43d4aed3cdbd:~$ sudo -l -Ufoo
User foo may run the following commands on 43d4aed3cdbd:
(ALL : ALL) /usr/bin/whoami
The behavior has been also been observed for version 0.2.5.
Impact
Users with limited sudo privileges can enumerate the sudoers file, revealing sensitive information about other users' permissions. Attackers can collect information that can be used to more targeted attacks.
Systems where users either do not have sudo privileges or have the ability to run all commands as root through sudo (the default configuration on most systems) are not affected by this advisory.

Mitigation
Production applications should never use methods that generate internal details such as stack traces and error messages unless that information is directly committed to a log that is not viewable by the end user. All error message text should be HTML entity encoded before being written to the log file to protect against potential cross-site scripting attacks against the viewer of the logs
CAPEC-170: Web Application Fingerprinting
An attacker sends a series of probes to a web application in order to elicit version-dependent and type-dependent behavior that assists in identifying the target. An attacker could learn information such as software versions, error pages, and response headers, variations in implementations of the HTTP protocol, directory structures, and other similar information about the targeted service. This information can then be used by an attacker to formulate a targeted attack plan. While web application fingerprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
CAPEC-694: System Location Discovery
An adversary collects information about the target system in an attempt to identify the system's geographical location.
Information gathered could include keyboard layout, system language, and timezone. This information may benefit an adversary in confirming the desired target and/or tailoring further attacks.
