Allowed

Sensitive Information in Resource Not Removed Before Reuse

Abstraction: Base · Status: Draft

Summary
Duplicate Advisory: Eclipse Jetty: Early return from the JASPIAuthenticator code can potentially no clear ThreadLocal variables
Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-r7p8-xq5m-436c. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

In Eclipse Jetty, the class JASPIAuthenticator initiates the authentication checks, which set two ThreadLocal variable.

Upon returning from the initial checks, there are conditions that cause an early return from the JASPIAuthenticator code without clearing those ThreadLocals.

A subsequent request using the same thread inherits the ThreadLocal values, leading to a broken access control and privilege escalation.

GHSA-MH22-QJHF-CHQC

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-21 15:33 – Updated: 2026-03-21 15:33
VLAI
Details

MediaMonkey 4.1.23 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows local attackers to crash the application by opening a specially crafted MP3 file containing an excessively long URL string. Attackers can create a malicious MP3 file with a buffer containing 4000 bytes of data appended to a URL, which causes the application to crash when the file is opened through the File > Open URL dialog.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design Implementation

During critical state transitions, information not needed in the next state should be removed or overwritten with fixed patterns (such as all 0's) or random data, before the transition to the next state.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design Implementation

When releasing, de-allocating, or deleting a resource, overwrite its data and relevant metadata with fixed patterns or random data. Be cautious about complex resource types whose underlying representation might be non-contiguous or change at a low level, such as how a file might be split into different chunks on a file system, even though "logical" file positions are contiguous at the application layer. Such resource types might require invocation of special modes or APIs to tell the underlying operating system to perform the necessary clearing, such as SDelete (Secure Delete) on Windows, although the appropriate functionality might not be available at the application layer.

CAPEC-37: Retrieve Embedded Sensitive Data

An attacker examines a target system to find sensitive data that has been embedded within it. This information can reveal confidential contents, such as account numbers or individual keys/credentials that can be used as an intermediate step in a larger attack.
