Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-07-17 00:32 – Updated: 2024-09-17 15:31An Incorrect Authorization vulnerability was identified in GitHub Enterprise Server that allowed a suspended GitHub App to retain access to the repository via a scoped user access token. This was only exploitable in public repositories while private repositories were not impacted. This vulnerability affected all versions of GitHub Enterprise Server prior to 3.14 and was fixed in versions 3.9.17, 3.10.14, 3.11.12, 3.12.6, 3.13.1.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-05 22:02 – Updated: 2025-12-05 22:02Impact
In some situations, Strimzi creates an incorrect Kubernetes Role which grants the Apache Kafka Connect and Apache Kafka MirrorMaker 2 operands the GET access to all Kubernetes Secrets that exist in the given Kubernetes namespace. The exact scenario when this happens is when:
* Apache Kafka Connect is deployed without at least one of the following options configured:
* TLS encryption with configured trusted certificates (no .spec.tls.trustedCertificates section in the KafkaConnect CR)
* mTLS authentication (no type: tls in .spec.authentication section of the KafkaConnect CR)
* TLS encryption with configured trusted certificates for type: oauth authentication (no .spec.authentication.tlsTrustedCertificates section in the KafkaConnect CR)
* Apache Kafka MirrorMaker2 is deployed without at least one of the following options configured for the target cluster:
* TLS encryption with configured trusted certificates (no .spec.target.tls.trustedCertificates section in the KafkaConnect CR)
* mTLS authentication (no type: tls in .spec.target.authentication section of the KafkaConnect CR)
* TLS encryption with configured trusted certificates for type: oauth authentication (no .spec.target.authentication.tlsTrustedCertificates section in the KafkaConnect CR)
* TLS encryption with configured trusted certificates (no .spec.clusters[].tls.trustedCertificates section in the KafkaConnect CR for the target cluster)
* mTLS authentication (no type: tls in .spec.clusters[].authentication section of the KafkaConnect CR for the target cluster)
* TLS encryption with configured trusted certificates for type: oauth authentication (no .spec.clusters[].authentication.tlsTrustedCertificates section in the KafkaConnect CR for the target cluster)
When the operands configured as described above are deployed with Strimzi >= 0.47.0 and <= 0.49.0, any code running within their Pods and using their Service Account for authentication will be able to GET any Kubernetes Secret from the same namespace. This can be done by executing 3rd party tools from the Pods. Or directly from the Kafka Connect code, for example, using configuration providers or HTTP connectors. The Pods are allowed to only GET the Secrets. They are not allowed to list, watch, modify, or delete the Secrets.
Patches
The issue is fixed in Strimzi 0.49.1.
Workarounds
There is no workaround for this issue when using the affected operands with the affected configurations.

GHSA-XRQ9-JM7V-G9H7
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-25 23:49 – Updated: 2026-04-25 23:49Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Affected versions:
< 2026.4.20 - Patched version:
2026.4.20
Impact
A paired device session with limited pairing scope could enumerate global pairing state and act on pairing requests that belonged to another device within the same gateway scope ceiling.
This is a same-gateway paired-device authorization bug, not a remote unauthenticated issue. Severity is low.
Fix
Pairing management actions are now limited to the caller device, so non-admin paired-device sessions cannot approve or operate on unrelated pending device requests.
Fix commit:
5a12f30441d5b0b151f550daa2c5c9e8db61e2e6
Release
Fixed in OpenClaw 2026.4.20.

Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
