GHSA-65M9-GC53-3G6G
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-10-16 09:30 – Updated: 2025-02-12 12:30The CloudStack Quota feature allows cloud administrators to implement a quota or usage limit system for cloud resources, and is disabled by default. In environments where the feature is enabled, due to missing access check enforcements, non-administrative CloudStack user accounts are able to access and modify quota-related configurations and data. This issue affects Apache CloudStack from 4.7.0 through 4.18.2.3; and from 4.19.0.0 through 4.19.1.1, where the Quota feature is enabled.
Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache CloudStack 4.18.2.4 or 4.19.1.2, or later, which addresses this issue. Alternatively, users that do not use the Quota feature are advised to disabled the plugin by setting the global setting "quota.enable.service" to "false".

GHSA-65W6-PF7X-5G85
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-08 00:15 – Updated: 2026-04-08 00:15Impact
All /api/puck/* CRUD endpoint handlers registered by createPuckPlugin() called Payload's local API with the default overrideAccess: true, bypassing all collection-level access control. The access option passed to createPuckPlugin() and any access rules defined on Puck-registered collections were silently ignored on these endpoints.
An unauthenticated remote attacker could:
- List all documents (including drafts) in any Puck-registered collection
- Read any document by ID (including drafts)
- Create new documents with arbitrary field values
- Update any document (including bypassing field-level access rules)
- Delete any document
- Read version history and restore arbitrary versions
In typical installations, the affected scope is the collection backing the website's pages (default slug: pages). For most users this means an attacker could read, modify, create, or delete every page on the website — including unpublished drafts and version history.
Scope is limited to collections explicitly registered with createPuckPlugin() — the endpoints validate the collection slug against an allowlist, so attackers cannot pivot to other Payload collections such as users, media, or business data not exposed to the plugin. The auto-created puck-templates, puck-ai-prompts, and puck-ai-context collections are also outside the allowlist; they have their own dedicated endpoints with separate authentication.
Other endpoints in the plugin (AI, styles, prompts, context, and the Next.js API route factories in src/api/) were unaffected — they had their own authentication checks.
Patches
Fixed in 0.6.23. All endpoint handlers in src/endpoints/index.ts now pass overrideAccess: false and forward req to Payload's local API, so collection-level access rules are evaluated against the current user.
Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade immediately, place a reverse-proxy or middleware authentication check in front of /api/puck/* to require an authenticated session before requests reach the plugin's handlers.

}
Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
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.
