CVE-2024-32030
Kafka UI is an Open-Source Web UI for Apache Kafka Management. Kafka UI API allows users to connect to different Kafka brokers by specifying their network address and port. As a separate feature, it also provides the ability to monitor the performance of Kafka brokers by connecting to their JMX ports. JMX is based on the RMI protocol, so it is inherently susceptible to deserialization attacks. A potential attacker can exploit this feature by connecting Kafka UI backend to its own malicious broker. This vulnerability affects the deployments where one of the following occurs: 1. dynamic.config.enabled property is set in settings. It's not enabled by default, but it's suggested to be enabled in many tutorials for Kafka UI, including its own README.md. OR 2. an attacker has access to the Kafka cluster that is being connected to Kafka UI. In this scenario the attacker can exploit this vulnerability to expand their access and execute code on Kafka UI as well. Instead of setting up a legitimate JMX port, an attacker can create an RMI listener that returns a malicious serialized object for any RMI call. In the worst case it could lead to remote code execution as Kafka UI has the required gadget chains in its classpath. This issue may lead to post-auth remote code execution. This is particularly dangerous as Kafka-UI does not have authentication enabled by default. This issue has been addressed in version 0.7.2. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. These issues were discovered and reported by the GitHub Security lab and is also tracked as GHSL-2023-230.

Same Weakness Type(CWE-94, CWE-502)
A flaw has been found in Devs Palace ERP Online up to 4.0.0. This impacts an unknown function of the file /inventory/item-save. This manipulation causes cross site scripting. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
The Widget Options – Advanced Conditional Visibility for Gutenberg Blocks & Classic Widgets plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 4.2.2 via the Display Logic feature. This is due to the plugin using eval() on user-supplied Display Logic expressions with an insufficient blocklist/allowlist that can be bypassed using array_map with string concatenation, combined with a lack of authorization enforcement on the extended_widget_opts_block attribute. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to execute code on the server. The vulnerability was partially patched in version 4.2.0.
A vulnerability has been found in nextlevelbuilder ui-ux-pro-max-skill up to 2.5.0. Affected by this issue is the function data.get of the file .claude/skills/design-system/scripts/generate-slide.py of the component Slide Generator. Such manipulation leads to cross site scripting. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through a pull request but has not reacted yet.
A vulnerability was found in aandrew-me ytDownloader up to 3.20.2. Affected by this issue is the function createTextNode of the component Error Details Panel. The manipulation results in cross site scripting. The attack may be performed from remote. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure.
A security vulnerability has been detected in DbGate up to 7.1.4. This affects an unknown function of the file packages/web/src/icons/FontIcon.svelte of the component SVG Icon String Handler. Such manipulation of the argument applicationIcon leads to cross site scripting. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. Upgrading to version 7.1.5 mitigates this issue. It is advisable to upgrade the affected component.
