CVE-2018-5767 NOMISEC CRITICAL WORKING POC
Tenda AC15 <V15.03.1.16_multi - RCE
An issue was discovered on Tenda AC15 V15.03.1.16_multi devices. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can gain remote code execution on the device with a crafted password parameter for the COOKIE header.
CVSS 9.8
CVE-2019-11340 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
Matrix Sydent <1.0.2 - Info Disclosure
util/emailutils.py in Matrix Sydent before 1.0.2 mishandles registration restrictions that are based on e-mail domain, if the allowed_local_3pids option is enabled. This occurs because of potentially unwanted behavior in Python, in which an email.utils.parseaddr call on [email protected]@good.example.com returns the [email protected] substring.
CVSS 5.9
CVE-2022-23597 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
Element Desktop < 1.9.7 - Remote Code Execution via Malicious Link Interaction
Element Desktop is a Matrix client for desktop platforms with Element Web at its core. Element Desktop before 1.9.7 is vulnerable to a remote program execution bug with user interaction. The exploit is non-trivial and requires clicking on a malicious link, followed by another button click. To the best of our knowledge, the vulnerability has never been exploited in the wild. If you are using Element Desktop < 1.9.7, we recommend upgrading at your earliest convenience. If successfully exploited, the vulnerability allows an attacker to specify a file path of a binary on the victim's computer which then gets executed. Notably, the attacker does *not* have the ability to specify program arguments. However, in certain unspecified configurations, the attacker may be able to specify an URI instead of a file path which then gets handled using standard platform mechanisms. These may allow exploiting further vulnerabilities in those mechanisms, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.
CVSS 8.3
CVE-2024-42369 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
matrix-js-sdk < 34.3.1 - Denial of Service via Cyclic Room Structure
matrix-js-sdk is a Matrix messaging protocol Client-Server SDK for JavaScript. A malicious homeserver can craft a room or room structure such that the predecessors form a cycle. The matrix-js-sdk's getRoomUpgradeHistory function will infinitely recurse in this case, causing the code to hang. This method is public but also called by the 'leaveRoomChain()' method, so leaving a room will also trigger the bug. This was patched in matrix-js-sdk 34.3.1.
CVSS 4.1
CVE-2024-47771 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
Element Desktop <1.11.80 - Info Disclosure
Element Desktop is a Matrix client for desktop platforms. Element Desktop versions 1.11.70 through 1.11.80 contain a vulnerability which can, under specially crafted conditions, lead to the access token becoming exposed to third parties. At least one vector has been identified internally, involving malicious widgets, but other vectors may exist. Users are strongly advised to upgrade to version 1.11.81 to remediate the issue. As a workaround, avoid granting permissions to untrusted widgets.
CVE-2024-47779 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
Element Web <1.11.80 - Info Disclosure
Element is a Matrix web client built using the Matrix React SDK. Element Web versions 1.11.70 through 1.11.80 contain a vulnerability which can, under specially crafted conditions, lead to the access token becoming exposed to third parties. At least one vector has been identified internally, involving malicious widgets, but other vectors may exist. Note that despite superficial similarity to CVE-2024-47771, this is an entirely separate vulnerability, caused by a separate piece of code included only in Element Web. Element Web and Element Desktop share most but not all, of their code and this vulnerability exists in the part of the code base which is not shared between the projects. Users are strongly advised to upgrade to version 1.11.81 to remediate the issue. As a workaround, avoid granting permissions to untrusted widgets.
