Summary
Hard coded cryptographic key in Kiali
Details

A hard-coded cryptographic key vulnerability in the default configuration file was found in Kiali, all versions prior to 1.15.1. A remote attacker could abuse this flaw by creating their own JWT signed tokens and bypass Kiali authentication mechanisms, possibly gaining privileges to view and alter the Istio configuration.

A vulnerability has been identified in LOGO! 8 BM (incl. SIPLUS variants) (All versions < V8.3), LOGO! Soft Comfort (All versions < V8.3). The LOGO! program files generated and used by the affected components offer the possibility to save user-defined functions (UDF) in a password protected way. This protection is implemented in the software that displays the information. An attacker could reverse engineer the UDFs directly from stored program files.
