Ping Identity Agentless Integration Kit before 1.5 is susceptible to Reflected Cross-site Scripting at the /as/authorization.oauth2 endpoint due to improper encoding of an arbitrarily submitted HTTP GET parameter name. We recommend to update Ping Identity Agentless Integration Kit to version 1.5 or later. For further details, see the full security advisory. Read More
Teltonika RUT9XX routers with firmware before 00.05.01.1 are prone to cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in hotspotlogin.cgi due to insufficient user input sanitization. We recommend to update Teltonika RUT9XX routers to version RUT9XX_R_00.04.233 or later. For further details, see the full security advisory. Read More
Teltonika RUT9XX routers with firmware before 00.04.233 provide a root terminal on a serial interface without proper access control. This allows attackers with physical access to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges. We recommend to update Teltonika RUT9XX routers to version RUT9XX_R_00.04.233 or later. For further details, see the full security advisory. Read More
Teltonika RUT9XX routers with firmware before 00.04.233 are prone to multiple unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerabilities in autologin.cgi and hotspotlogin.cgi due to insufficient user input sanitization. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges. We recommend to update Teltonika RUT9XX routers to version RUT9XX_R_00.05.01.1 or later. For further details, see the full security advisory. Read More
Smarty 3.1.32 or below is prone to a path traversal vulnerability due to insufficient sanitization of code in Smarty templates. This allows attackers controlling the Smarty template to bypass the trusted directory security restriction and read arbitrary files. We recommend to update Smarty to version 3.1.33 or later. For further details, see the full security advisory. Read More
phpWhois and some of its forks in versions before 5.1.0 are prone to a code injection vulnerability due to insufficient sanitization of returned WHOIS data. This allows attackers controlling the WHOIS information of a requested domain to execute arbitrary PHP code in the context of the application. We recommend to update phpWhois to version jsmitty12: 5.1.0 or later. For further details, see the full security advisory. Read More
