Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-04-16 00:00 – Updated: 2022-04-23 00:03
VLAI
Details

An issue was discovered in Asterisk through 19.x. When using STIR/SHAKEN, it is possible to download files that are not certificates. These files could be much larger than what one would expect to download, leading to Resource Exhaustion. This is fixed in 16.25.2, 18.11.2, and 19.3.2.

GHSA-X4VP-4235-65HG

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-03 21:18 – Updated: 2026-03-20 21:13
VLAI
Summary
OpenClaw has pre-auth webhook body parsing that can enable unauthenticated slow-request DoS
Details

Impact

OpenClaw webhook handlers for BlueBubbles and Google Chat accepted and parsed request bodies before authentication and signature checks on vulnerable releases. This allowed unauthenticated clients to hold parser work open with slow/oversized request bodies and degrade availability (slow-request DoS).

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected releases: <= 2026.3.1
  • Latest published vulnerable version at triage time: 2026.3.1 (npm)
  • Fixed release: 2026.3.2 (released)

Fix Commit(s)

  • d3e8b17aa6432536806b4853edc7939d891d0f25

Mitigation

Upgrade to 2026.3.2 (or newer). The fix enforces auth-before-body for affected webhook paths, adds strict pre-auth body/time budgets, and introduces shared in-flight/request guardrails with regression coverage.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-28 18:41 – Updated: 2026-08-28 18:41
VLAI
Summary
plone.app.portlets vulnerable to denial of service via RSS feed portlet
Details

Impact

By adding an RSS portlet, and giving this a link to a very large file, a member can cause a denial of service attack, because Plone will use lots of memory. The member could also use different urls to try to get information about the internal network and open port numbers (SSRF). A malicious RSS feed could cause stored XSS, when the url of a feed item is a javascript url.

Patches

The problem has been patched in plone.app.portlets.

  • For Plone 6.2: upgrade to plone.app.portlets 7.0.2
  • For Plone 6.1: upgrade to plone.app.portlets 6.0.4
  • For Plone 6.0: upgrade to plone.app.portlets 5.0.8

Workarounds

If upgrading is not immediately possible:

  • Restrict who can manage portlets: remove the plone.app.portlets.ManageOwnPortlets permission from untrusted roles, and limit Manage portlets to trusted administrators (usually this is already restricted to the Manager and Site Administrator roles).
  • Where the RSS portlet is not needed, unregister it so it cannot be added. This would need to be done by editing a portlets.xml in your own code, so it is not a quick fix.

References

This is similar to this plone.app.event vulnerability. It was discovered by the Plone Security Team by thinking of similar cases to the plone.app.event problem.

Details

An uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability has been reported to affect Qsync Central. If a remote attacker gains a user account, they can then exploit the vulnerability to launch a denial-of-service (DoS) attack.

We have already fixed the vulnerability in the following version: Qsync Central 4.5.0.7 ( 2025/04/23 ) and later

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Design throttling mechanisms into the system architecture. The best protection is to limit the amount of resources that an unauthorized user can cause to be expended. A strong authentication and access control model will help prevent such attacks from occurring in the first place. The login application should be protected against DoS attacks as much as possible. Limiting the database access, perhaps by caching result sets, can help minimize the resources expended. To further limit the potential for a DoS attack, consider tracking the rate of requests received from users and blocking requests that exceed a defined rate threshold.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • Mitigation of resource exhaustion attacks requires that the target system either:
  • The first of these solutions is an issue in itself though, since it may allow attackers to prevent the use of the system by a particular valid user. If the attacker impersonates the valid user, they may be able to prevent the user from accessing the server in question.
  • The second solution is simply difficult to effectively institute -- and even when properly done, it does not provide a full solution. It simply makes the attack require more resources on the part of the attacker.
  • recognizes the attack and denies that user further access for a given amount of time, or
  • uniformly throttles all requests in order to make it more difficult to consume resources more quickly than they can again be freed.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Ensure that protocols have specific limits of scale placed on them.

Mitigation
Implementation

Ensure that all failures in resource allocation place the system into a safe posture.

CAPEC-147: XML Ping of the Death

An attacker initiates a resource depletion attack where a large number of small XML messages are delivered at a sufficiently rapid rate to cause a denial of service or crash of the target. Transactions such as repetitive SOAP transactions can deplete resources faster than a simple flooding attack because of the additional resources used by the SOAP protocol and the resources necessary to process SOAP messages. The transactions used are immaterial as long as they cause resource utilization on the target. In other words, this is a normal flooding attack augmented by using messages that will require extra processing on the target.

CAPEC-227: Sustained Client Engagement

An adversary attempts to deny legitimate users access to a resource by continually engaging a specific resource in an attempt to keep the resource tied up as long as possible. The adversary's primary goal is not to crash or flood the target, which would alert defenders; rather it is to repeatedly perform actions or abuse algorithmic flaws such that a given resource is tied up and not available to a legitimate user. By carefully crafting a requests that keep the resource engaged through what is seemingly benign requests, legitimate users are limited or completely denied access to the resource.

CAPEC-492: Regular Expression Exponential Blowup

An adversary may execute an attack on a program that uses a poor Regular Expression(Regex) implementation by choosing input that results in an extreme situation for the Regex. A typical extreme situation operates at exponential time compared to the input size. This is due to most implementations using a Nondeterministic Finite Automaton(NFA) state machine to be built by the Regex algorithm since NFA allows backtracking and thus more complex regular expressions.
