Gradle's failure to disable repositories failing to answer can expose builds to malicious artifacts

Gradle is a build automation tool, and its native-platform tool provides Java bindings for native APIs. When resolving dependencies in versions before 9.3.0, some exceptions were not treated as fatal errors and would not cause a repository to be disabled. If a build encountered one of these exceptions, Gradle would continue to the next repository in the list and potentially resolve dependencies from a different repository. An exception like NoHttpResponseException can indicate transient errors. If the errors persist after a maximum number of retries, Gradle would continue to the next repository. This behavior could allow an attacker to disrupt the service of a repository and leverage another repository to serve malicious artifacts. This attack requires the attacker to have control over a repository after the disrupted repository. Gradle has introduced a change in behavior in Gradle 9.3.0 to stop searching other repositories when encountering these errors.

Cisco Secure Web Appliance TBD Bypass Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the Dynamic Vectoring and Streaming (DVS) Engine implementation of Cisco AsyncOS Software for Cisco Secure Web Appliance could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass the anti-malware scanner, allowing malicious archive files to be downloaded. This vulnerability is due to improper handling of certain archive files. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted archive file, which should be blocked, through an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass the anti-malware scanner and download malware onto an end user workstation. The downloaded malware will not automatically execute unless the end user extracts and launches the malicious file. 

SumatraPDF Update MITM -> Arbitrary Code Execution

SumatraPDF is a multi-format reader for Windows. In 3.5.0 through 3.5.2, SumatraPDF's update mechanism disables TLS hostname verification (INTERNET_FLAG_IGNORE_CERT_CN_INVALID) and executes installers without signature checks. A network attacker with any valid TLS certificate (e.g., Let's Encrypt) can intercept the update check request, inject a malicious installer URL, and achieve arbitrary code execution.

Local Privilege Escalation via Unverified Update Payload in ASUS Member Center

A Download of Code Without Integrity Check vulnerability in the update modules in ASUS Member Center(华硕大厅) allows a local user to achieve privilege escalation to Administrator via exploitation of a Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOC-TOU) during the update process, where an unexpected payload is substituted for a legitimate one immediately after download, and subsequently executed with administrative privileges upon user consent. Refer to the 'Security Update for ASUS Member Center' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.

Changing｜IDExpert Windows Logon Agent - Remote Code Execution

IDExpert Windows Logon Agent developed by Changing has a Remote Code Execution vulnerability, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to force the system to download arbitrary executable files from a remote source and execute them.

Changing｜IDExpert Windows Logon Agent - Remote Code Execution

IDExpert Windows Logon Agent developed by Changing has a Remote Code Execution vulnerability, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to force the system to download arbitrary DLL files from a remote source and execute them.

Symantec LiveUpdate before 1.6 does not use cryptography to ensure the integrity of download files, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via DNS spoofing of the update.symantec.com site.

Pingtel xpressa SIP-based voice-over-IP phone 1.2.5 through 1.2.7.4 downloads phone applications from a web site but can not verify the integrity of the applications, which could allow remote attackers to install Trojan horse applications via DNS spoofing.

WesHacks code includes links to Leostop tracking spyware infested files

The WesHacks GitHub repository provides the official Hackathon competition website source code for the Muweilah Wesgreen Hackathon. The page `schedule.html` before 17 November 2024 or commit 93dfb83 contains links to `Leostop`, a site that hosts a malicious injected JavaScript file that occurs when bootstrap is run as well as jquery. `Leostop` may be a tracking malware and creates 2 JavaScript files, but little else is known about it. The WesHacks website remove all references to `Leostop` as of 17 November 2024.

Insufficient Integrity Verification Vulnerability in TP-Link Archer C50

This vulnerability exists in the TP-Link Archer C50 due to improper signature verification mechanism in the firmware upgrade process at its web interface. An attacker with administrative privileges within the router’s Wi-Fi range could exploit this vulnerability by uploading and executing malicious firmware which could lead to complete compromise of the targeted device.

A potential vulnerability was reported in the Lenovo Wallpaper Client that could allow arbitrary code execution under certain conditions.

Download of Code Without Integrity Check in Kiloview P1/P2 devices

A vulnerability allows attackers to download source code or an executable from a remote location and execute the code without sufficiently verifying the origin and integrity of the code. This vulnerability can allow attackers to modify the firmware before uploading it to the system, thus achieving the modification of the target’s integrity to achieve an insecure state.

Vulnerability in PointCloudLibrary PCL

Vulnerability in PointCloudLibrary PCL (surface/src/3rdparty/opennurbs modules). This vulnerability is associated with program files crc32.C. This vulnerability is only relevant if the PCL version is older than 1.14.0 or the user specifically requests to not use the system zlib (WITH_SYSTEM_ZLIB=FALSE).

An issue in the Web Configuration module of Startcharge Artemis AC Charger 7-22 kW v1.0.4 allows authenticated network-adjacent attackers to upload crafted firmware, leading to arbitrary code execution.

Missing Firmware Authenticity Checks in Solax Power Pocket WiFi models

The firmware update functionality does not verify the authenticity of the supplied firmware update files. This allows attackers to flash malicious firmware update files on the device. Initial analysis of the firmware update functionality does not show any cryptographic checks (e.g. digital signature checks) on the supplied firmware update files. Furthermore, ESP32 security features such as secure boot are not used.

HCL BigFix Patch Download Plug-ins are affected by an arbitrary file download vulnerability

BigFix Patch Download Plug-ins are affected by an arbitrary file download vulnerability. It could allow a malicious operator to download files from arbitrary URLs without any proper validation or allowlist controls.

IOSIX IO-1020 Micro ELD Download of Code Without Integrity Check

IO-1020 Micro ELD downloads source code or an executable from an adjacent location and executes the code without sufficiently verifying the origin or integrity of the code.

DSIC｜Cross-browser Components for Official Document Creation - Remote Code Execution

The cross-browser document creation component produced by Digitware System Integration Corporation has a Remote Code Execution vulnerability. If a user visits a malicious website while the component is active, remote attackers can cause the system to download and execute arbitrary programs.

iSTAR Ultra performs a firmware verification on boot, however the verification does not inspect certain portions of the firmware. These firmware parts may contain malicious code. Tested up to firmware 6.9.2, later firmwares are also possibly affected.

CWE-494: Download of Code Without Integrity Check vulnerability exists that could render the device inoperable when malicious firmware is downloaded.
