GHSA-JHJH-776M-4765

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-08-31 21:25 – Updated: 2024-09-30 20:26
VLAI
Summary
Denial of service due to incorrect application of event authorization rules
Details

Impact

The Matrix specification specifies a list of event authorization rules which must be checked when determining if an event should be accepted into a room.

In versions of Synapse up to and including v1.61, some of these rules are not correctly applied. An attacker could craft events which would be accepted by Synapse but not a spec-conformant server, potentially causing divergence in the room state between servers.

Patches

Administrators of homeservers with federation enabled are advised to upgrade to v1.62.0 or higher.

Details

The Spam protection, Anti-Spam, FireWall by CleanTalk plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized Arbitrary Plugin Installation due to an missing empty value check on the 'api_key' value in the 'perform' function in all versions up to, and including, 6.44. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to install and activate arbitrary plugins which can be leveraged to achieve remote code execution if another vulnerable plugin is installed and activated.

Details

In Permission Manager, there is a possible way for the microphone privacy indicator to remain activated even after the user attempts to close the app due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

GHSA-PJJ3-J5J6-QJ27

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-07-21 19:52 – Updated: 2025-07-21 22:21
VLAI
Summary
HAX CMS NodeJS Application Has Improper Error Handling That Leads to Denial of Service
Details

Summary

The HAX CMS NodeJS application crashes when an authenticated attacker provides an API request lacking required URL parameters. This vulnerability affects the listFiles and saveFiles endpoints.

Details

This vulnerability exists because the application does not properly handle exceptions which occur as a result of changes to user-modifiable URL parameters.

Affected Resources

• listFiles.js:22 listFiles() • saveFile.js:52 saveFile() • system/api/listFiles • system/api/saveFile

PoC

  1. Targeting an instance of instance of HAX CMS NodeJS, send a request without parameters to listFiles or saveFiles. The following screenshot shows the request in Burp Suite. listfilesrequest

  2. The server will crash with ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE. listfilescrash

Impact

An authenticated attacker can deny access to the HAX CMS NodeJS application by crashing the backend server. This prevents all users from accessing the backend system. If the backend system is hosting websites, those websites will be unavailable.

Severity
7.1 (High)
