Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 16:58 – Updated: 2024-04-04 02:26Dell ImageAssist versions prior to 8.7.15 contain an information disclosure vulnerability. Dell ImageAssist stores some sensitive encrypted information in the images it creates. A privileged user of a system running an operating system that was deployed with Dell ImageAssist could potentially retrieve this sensitive information to then compromise the system and related systems.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-07-26 21:30 – Updated: 2024-04-04 06:22mRemoteNG configuration files can be stored in an encrypted state on disk. mRemoteNG version <= v1.76.20 and <= 1.77.3-dev loads configuration files in plain text into memory at application start-up, even if no connection has been established yet. This allows attackers to access contents of configuration files in plain text through a memory dump and thus compromise user credentials when no custom password encryption key has been set. This also bypasses the connection configuration file encryption setting by dumping already decrypted configurations from memory.

GHSA-QVPJ-W7XJ-R6W9
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-06-02 22:30 – Updated: 2024-06-02 22:30Users registering via the user:register_form tag will have their password confirmation stored in plain text in their user file.
Impact
This only affects sites matching all of the following conditions:
- Running Statamic versions between 5.3.0 and 5.6.1. (This version range represents only one calendar week)
- Using the user:register_form tag.
- Using file-based user accounts. (Does not affect users stored in a database.)
- Has users that have registered during that time period. (Existing users are not affected.)
The password is only visible to users that have access to read user yaml files, typically developers of the application itself.
Patches
The issue has been patched in 5.6.2, however any users registered during that time period and using the affected version range will still have the the password_confirmation value in their yaml files.
We recommend that affected users have their password reset. The following query can be entered into php artisan tinker and will output a list of affected emails:
Statamic\Facades\User::query()->whereNotNull('password_confirmation')->get()->map->email
The following can be entered into tinker and will clear both password_confirmation as well as their existing password. They will be required to reset their password before their next login attempt.
Statamic\Facades\User::query()
->whereNotNull('password_confirmation')->get()
->each(fn ($user) => $user->remove('password_confirmation')->passwordHash(null)->save());
References
If you are committing user files to a public git repo, you may consider clearing the sensitive data from the git history. You can use the following links for details. - https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/removing-sensitive-data-from-a-repository - https://dev.to/balogh08/cleaning-your-git-history-safely-removing-sensitive-data-10i5

Mitigation
When storing data in the cloud (e.g., S3 buckets, Azure blobs, Google Cloud Storage, etc.), use the provider's controls to encrypt the data at rest. [REF-1297] [REF-1299] [REF-1301]
Mitigation
In some systems/environments such as cloud, the use of "double encryption" (at both the software and hardware layer) might be required, and the developer might be solely responsible for both layers, instead of shared responsibility with the administrator of the broader system/environment.
