Meta.get() Honored @uploadURL From Script Headers: SSRF Fix

A userscript manager's metadata parser accepted the `@uploadURL` directive from a script's own header block, so any installed or auto-updated script could silently redirect the options-page `uploadScript()` fetch to an attacker-chosen destination — including loopback, link-local metadata endpoints, and LAN addresses. The fix makes `Meta.get()` ignore `@uploadURL` when it appears in a script header, leaving the User Metadata field (validated in `Meta.getUserMeta()`) as the only way to set it, and

Unvalidated thumbnailUrl Passed to axios.get(): SSRF Risk

A server-side image helper passes a `thumbnailUrl` value — sourced from 3D-print file metadata returned by an OctoPrint instance — straight into `axios.get()` with no scheme, host, or IP validation. Anyone who can write that metadata (a crafted G-code file, or a compromised/spoofed OctoPrint endpoint) turns the application into an HTTP proxy for internal networks and cloud metadata services. The accompanying pull request bumps `react-router-dom` from 7.9.1 to 7.18.4 to pick up the CVE-2026-21884

esearch() SSRF: requests.get() Trusted Any Host in the URL

A citation format-conversion script used by an AI research skill built HTTP URLs from user-supplied PMIDs, DOIs, arXiv IDs, and free-text queries, then passed the resulting string straight to `requests.get()` with no check that it still pointed at an intended API host. The fix introduces an `ALLOWED_HOSTS` set containing the three real upstream APIs and an `_is_allowed_url()` helper that compares `urlparse(url).hostname` against it before the request is issued. This closes a CWE-918 server-side

JOSMFileHack TransformerFactory XXE: External DTD Processing Enabled

OSM2World's JOSMFileHack utility, which processed OpenStreetMap files generated by the JOSM editor, contained an insecure TransformerFactory configuration that permitted external DTD and stylesheet access. The vulnerability was resolved by completely removing the vulnerable code path rather than hardening it in place.

Tauri type_text() Command Injection via Control Characters in

The type_text() system command handler in Tauri accepted arbitrary text up to 2000 UTF-16 characters without validating content, allowing injection of control characters that SendInput's Unicode path interprets as real key presses. An attacker could inject newline, escape, or tab characters to trigger actions in the focused window beyond mere text typing.

Spring Boot Actuator Wildcard Exposure in 2021.04 Provisioning

A misconfigured Spring Boot Actuator in the ArkCase 2021.04 provisioning template exposed all management endpoints through wildcard inclusion. The fix narrows exposure to health and info endpoints only, eliminating unauthenticated access to sensitive runtime data.

SchedulePush.disableReminder Missing Authorization Check in push.js

The `disableReminder` method in the `SchedulePush` class allowed any user to disable push notification reminders for arbitrary user IDs by manipulating the `e.user_id` event parameter. The fix adds a `checkFriend()` authorization gate that verifies the requesting user has a valid friendship relationship with the bot before modifying subscription state.

boardroom Server Handler Missing Authentication on HTTP Endpoints

The boardroom server's `Handler` class, extending `SimpleHTTPRequestHandler`, exposed sensitive HTTP endpoints without any caller authentication. An attacker could exploit this by making cross-origin requests to internal ports through DNS rebinding, accessing `/alerts.json`, `/dismiss`, and `/events.js` without authorization. The fix adds `is_local_origin()` checks to both `do_GET()` and `do_POST()` methods.

updateCardBg() Follows Unvalidated 302 Location Headers

A background-image updater fetched a configured image URL with manual redirect handling and then re-issued the request to whatever `Location` header came back, with no scheme or host checks. A redirect to `http://169.254.169.254/` or `http://127.0.0.1:<port>/` would have been followed with the original fetch options attached, and the response body written to disk as an image asset. The fix resolves the redirect target against `imgDownloadUrl` and rejects anything that is not HTTPS on the same ho

runStreaming() Command Injection: Defense-in-Depth for Electron Child

An Electron application's `runStreaming()` utility accepted a command string and argument array without validating either, creating a latent command injection vector. The fix adds strict type checking and a whitelist regex that rejects shell metacharacters, bounding the failure mode even if caller input becomes attacker-influenced.

heatmap.php SQL Injection: $_REQUEST Parameters in Unparameterized

A critical SQL injection vulnerability in the heatmap data retrieval endpoint allowed attackers to execute arbitrary database commands by manipulating coordinate bounds or time range parameters. The vulnerability affected all six user-controlled $_REQUEST parameters passed directly into query construction without parameterization.

docker_rpc.uc Command Injection: Unsanitized RPC Parameters

A critical command injection vulnerability in the Docker RPC handler allowed authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary system commands by injecting shell metacharacters into container ID, port, user ID, or command parameters. The fix validates all user-supplied inputs against strict whitelist patterns before interpolating them into shell commands.
