Details

RustDesk gates incoming control messages on per-capability flags rather than on the session's authorized connection type, and a file-transfer session does not clear those flags. A peer holding only a valid FileTransfer authorization can inject keyboard and mouse input and reach the unguarded screenshot and display-capture handlers, acting outside its granted scope.

Summary
n8n Has Authorization Bypass in OAuth Callback via N8N_SKIP_AUTH_ON_OAUTH_CALLBACK
Details

Impact

When the N8N_SKIP_AUTH_ON_OAUTH_CALLBACK environment variable is set to true, the OAuth callback handler skips ownership verification of the OAuth state parameter. This allows an attacker to trick a victim into completing an OAuth flow against a credential object the attacker controls, causing the victim's OAuth tokens to be stored in the attacker's credential. The attacker can then use those tokens to execute workflows in their name.

  • This issue only affects instances where N8N_SKIP_AUTH_ON_OAUTH_CALLBACK=true is explicitly configured (non-default).

Patches

The issue has been fixed in n8n version 2.8.0. Users should upgrade to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability.

Workarounds

If upgrading is not immediately possible, administrators should consider the following temporary mitigations: - Avoid enabling N8N_SKIP_AUTH_ON_OAUTH_CALLBACK=true unless strictly required. - Restrict access to the n8n instance to fully trusted users only.

These workarounds do not fully remediate the risk and should only be used as short-term mitigation measures.

GHSA-VPJ2-QQ7W-5QQ6

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-31 23:48 – Updated: 2026-03-31 23:48
VLAI
Summary
parse-server has cloud function validator bypass via prototype chain traversal
Details

Impact

An attacker can bypass Cloud Function validator access controls by appending .prototype.constructor to the function name in the URL. When a Cloud Function handler is declared using the function keyword and its validator is a plain object or arrow function, the trigger store traversal resolves the handler through its own prototype chain while the validator store fails to mirror this traversal, causing all access control enforcement to be skipped.

This allows unauthenticated callers to invoke Cloud Functions that are meant to be protected by validators such as requireUser, requireMaster, or custom validation logic.

Patches

The trigger store traversal now verifies that each intermediate node is a legitimate store object before continuing traversal. If the traversal encounters a non-store value such as a function handler, it stops and returns an empty store, preventing prototype chain escape.

Workarounds

Use arrow functions instead of the function keyword for Cloud Function handlers. Arrow functions do not have a prototype property and are not affected by this vulnerability.

  "details": "### Impact\n\nAn attacker can bypass Cloud Function validator access controls by appending `.prototype.constructor` to the function name in the URL. When a Cloud Function handler is declared using the `function` keyword and its validator is a plain object or arrow function, the trigger store traversal resolves the handler through its own prototype chain while the validator store fails to mirror this traversal, causing all access control enforcement to be skipped.\n\nThis allows unauthenticated callers to invoke Cloud Functions that are meant to be protected by validators such as `requireUser`, `requireMaster`, or custom validation logic.\n\n### Patches\n\nThe trigger store traversal now verifies that each intermediate node is a legitimate store object before continuing traversal. If the traversal encounters a non-store value such as a function handler, it stops and returns an empty store, preventing prototype chain escape.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nUse arrow functions instead of the `function` keyword for Cloud Function handlers. Arrow functions do not have a `prototype` property and are not affected by this vulnerability.\n\n### Resources\n\n- GitHub security advisory: https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/security/advisories/GHSA-vpj2-qq7w-5qq6\n- Fix Parse Server 9: https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/pull/10342\n- Fix Parse Server 8: https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/pull/10343",

VLAI
Details

This vulnerability exists in Milesight 4K/H.265 Series NVR models (MS-Nxxxx-xxG, MS-Nxxxx-xxE, MS-Nxxxx-xxT, MS-Nxxxx-xxH and MS-Nxxxx-xxC), due to improper authorization at the Milesight NVR web-based management interface. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted http requests on the targeted device.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow remote attacker to perform unauthorized activities on the targeted device.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • 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
Architecture and Design

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
Architecture and Design

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
Architecture and Design
  • 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
System Configuration Installation

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.
