Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-02-28 18:30 – Updated: 2024-02-28 18:30A vulnerability was found in 3Scale, when used with Keycloak 15 (or RHSSO 7.5.0) and superiors. When the auth_type is use_3scale_oidc_issuer_endpoint, the Token Introspection policy discovers the Token Introspection endpoint from the token_introspection_endpoint field, but the field was removed on RH-SSO 7.5. As a result, the policy doesn't inspect tokens, it determines that all tokens are valid.

GHSA-QMJF-WC2H-6X3Q
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-29 18:40 – Updated: 2025-01-21 18:30Impact
What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?
A user with permissions to view Dynamic Group records (extras.view_dynamicgroup permission) can use the Dynamic Group detail UI view (/extras/dynamic-groups/<uuid>/) and/or the members REST API view (/api/extras/dynamic-groups/<uuid>/members/) to list the objects that are members of a given Dynamic Group.
In versions of Nautobot between 1.3.0 (where the Dynamic Groups feature was added) and 1.6.22 inclusive, and 2.0.0 through 2.2.4 inclusive, Nautobot fails to restrict these listings based on the member object permissions - for example a Dynamic Group of Device objects will list all Devices that it contains, regardless of the user's dcim.view_device permissions or lack thereof.
Patches
Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?
Fixed in Nautobot 1.6.23 and 2.2.5.
Workarounds
Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?
This vulnerability can be partially mitigated by removing extras.view_dynamicgroup permission from users; a full fix will require upgrading.

GHSA-R6P4-GRQ7-XM4M
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-20 18:40 – Updated: 2026-08-20 18:40Impact
Due to a missing permission check on the image preview endpoint, a user with access to the Wagtail admin can preview any image. The existing data of the image object itself is not exposed. The vulnerability is not exploitable by an ordinary site visitor without access to the Wagtail admin.
Patches
Patched versions have been released as Wagtail 7.0.8, 7.3.3, 7.4.2.
Workarounds
For sites that cannot easily upgrade to a current supported version, the vulnerability can be patched by adding the following code to urls.py URL pattern declarations to override the vulnerable view.
from django.core.exceptions import PermissionDenied
from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404
from django.urls import path
from wagtail.admin import urls as wagtailadmin_urls
from wagtail.images.permissions import permission_policy
from wagtail.images.views import preview
def patched_preview(request, image_id, filter_spec):
image = get_object_or_404(get_image_model(), id=image_id)
if not permission_policy.user_has_permission_for_instance(request.user, "change", image):
raise PermissionDenied
return preview(request, image_id, filter_spec)
urlpatterns = [
# Example where the CMS admin is at /admin/.
# Add this before the Wagtail admin URLs registration, with the same sub-path.
path("admin/images/<int:image_id>/preview/<str:filter_spec>/", patched_preview)
path("admin/", include(wagtailadmin_urls)),

Mitigation MIT-46
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
- Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
- Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
Mitigation
Always check to see if you have successfully accessed a resource or system functionality, and use proper error handling if it is unsuccessful. Do this even when you are operating in a highly privileged mode, because errors or environmental conditions might still cause a failure. For example, environments with highly granular permissions/privilege models, such as Windows or Linux capabilities, can cause unexpected failures.
