GHSA-8M2X-3M6Q-6W8J

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-24 20:37 – Updated: 2026-03-25 21:31
VLAI
Summary
NATS: Message tracing can be redirected to arbitrary subject
Details

Background

NATS.io is a high performance open source pub-sub distributed communication technology, built for the cloud, on-premise, IoT, and edge computing.

The nats-server supports telemetry on messages, using the per-message NATS headers.

Problem Description

A valid client which uses message tracing headers can indicate that the trace messages can be sent to an arbitrary valid subject, including those to which the client does not have publish permission.

The payload is a valid trace message and not chosen by the attacker.

Affected Versions

Any version before v2.12.6 or v2.11.15

Workarounds

None.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-02 21:54 – Updated: 2026-03-02 21:54
VLAI
Summary
OpenClaw has an unauthorized sender bypass in its stop triggers and /models command authorization
Details

Summary

Unauthorized senders could trigger two command paths without sender authorization checks: 1. stop-like natural-language abort triggers 2. /models command output

Impact

An unauthorized sender could disrupt active sessions and view model/auth metadata that should be authorization-gated.

Fix

Sender authorization is now enforced for stop-like abort triggers and /models listings.

Details

Impact

This vulnerability affects all accounts (vanilla and ethereum flavors) in the v0.2.0 release of OpenZeppelin Contracts for Cairo, which are not whitelisted on StarkNet mainnet, so only goerli deployments of v0.2.0 accounts are affected.

This faulty behavior is not observed in StarkNet's testing framework, so don't rely on it passing to detect this issue on custom accounts.

Patches

This bug has been patched in v0.2.1.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • 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
Architecture and Design

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
Architecture and Design

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
Architecture and Design
  • 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
System Configuration Installation

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.
