Summary
Uncaught Panic in ORML Rewards Pallet
Details

Summary

A vulnerability in the add_share function of the Rewards pallet (part of the ORML repository) can lead to an uncaught Rust panic when handling user-provided input exceeding the u128 range.

Affected Components

  • ORML Rewards pallet (rewards/src/lib.rs)
  • Any Substrate-based chain using ORML Rewards with add_share accepting unvalidated large u128 inputs

Technical Details

  • add_share performs arithmetic on user-supplied values (add_amount) of type T::Share (mapped to u128 in Acala).
  • If add_amount is large enough (e.g., i128::MAX), the intermediate result may overflow and panic on the cast to u128.
  • Validation occurs only after arithmetic, enabling a crafted input to trigger an overflow.

Impact

A malicious user submitting a specially crafted extrinsic can cause a panic in the runtime: - Denial of Service by crashing the node process. - Potential for invalid blocks produced by validators.

Likelihood

This issue is exploitable in production if there exists at least one rewards pool where reward tokens exceed twice the collateral tokens, allowing sufficiently large multiplication to exceed u128 bounds.

Remediation

  • This issue is fixed in https://github.com/open-web3-stack/open-runtime-module-library/pull/1016

Backport

The patch have been backported to following release branches: - polkadot-stable2407 - polkadot-stable2409

A 1.0.1 patch release is made with this fix.

Summary
Python-Markdown has an Uncaught Exception
Details

Python-Markdown version 3.8 contain a vulnerability where malformed HTML-like sequences can cause html.parser.HTMLParser to raise an unhandled AssertionError during Markdown parsing. Because Python-Markdown does not catch this exception, any application that processes attacker-controlled Markdown may crash. This enables remote, unauthenticated Denial of Service in web applications, documentation systems, CI/CD pipelines, and any service that renders untrusted Markdown. The issue was acknowledged by the vendor and fixed in version 3.8.1. This issue causes a remote Denial of Service in any application parsing untrusted Markdown, and can lead to Information Disclosure through uncaught exceptions.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-02-05 18:34 – Updated: 2025-02-05 18:34
VLAI
Details

A vulnerability in the SNMP subsystem of Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a DoS condition on an affected device.

This vulnerability is due to improper error handling when parsing SNMP requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted SNMP request to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the device to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a DoS condition.  This vulnerability affects SNMP versions 1, 2c, and 3. To exploit this vulnerability through SNMP v2c or earlier, the attacker must know a valid read-write or read-only SNMP community string for the affected system. To exploit this vulnerability through SNMP v3, the attacker must have valid SNMP user credentials for the affected system.

Details

Summary

Affected versions of Starlette-Admin prior to 0.16.1 do not properly validate user-supplied sort and search parameters against the configured field allowlists. While the administrative UI restricts available fields based on field configuration, the backend accepts arbitrary field names supplied through API requests.

An authenticated user can submit crafted requests to sort or filter records using fields that are not intended to be searchable or sortable. Additionally, supplying invalid field names or special Python attribute names can trigger unhandled exceptions that result in HTTP 500 responses.

Impact

An authenticated user with access to affected list endpoints may:

  • Bypass intended UI restrictions and perform sorting or filtering on fields that are not configured as searchable or sortable.
  • Cause affected API requests to fail with HTTP 500 responses by supplying invalid field names or special Python attribute names such as metadata or __class__.

This vulnerability may result in unauthorized use of query functionality and limited denial-of-service conditions affecting the targeted endpoint.

Affected Versions

All versions before 0.16.1.

Patched Versions

  • 0.16.1

Workarounds

There are no known workarounds. Users should upgrade to version 0.16.1 or later.

Summary
Capsule: CapsuleConfiguration NodeMetadata regex fields lack webhook validation, allowing MustCompile panic on all Node admission requests
Details

Summary

CapsuleConfiguration.Spec.NodeMetadata.ForbiddenLabels.Regex and ForbiddenAnnotations.Regex are never validated by any admission webhook. A Cluster Admin can persist a malformed regex to etcd without being blocked. Once stored, every Node CREATE, UPDATE, or PATCH request triggers regexp.MustCompile() in pkg/api/forbidden_list.go:36, which panics and crashes the node admission webhook — causing a cluster-wide Denial of Service for all Node operations.

Root cause

internal/webhook/tenant/validation/ contains dedicated regex validators for every Tenant regex field (hostname, storageclass, ingressclass, containerregistry, etc.). internal/webhook/cfg/ contains no regex validator at all — only owners.go, serviceaccount.go, and warnings.go.

The downstream consumer internal/webhook/node/user_metadata.go calls:

// line 131
matched = forbiddenLabels.RegexMatch(label)
// line 150
matched = forbiddenAnnotations.RegexMatch(annotation)

Which routes to pkg/api/forbidden_list.go:36:

func (in ForbiddenListSpec) RegexMatch(value string) (ok bool) {
    if len(in.Regex) > 0 {
        ok = regexp.MustCompile(in.Regex).MatchString(value) // ← panics on invalid regex
    }
    return ok
}

Unlike regexp.Compile, regexp.MustCompile panics instead of returning an error. Since no webhook validates the CapsuleConfiguration regex fields before storage, a malformed value reaches MustCompile on every Node admission request.

Comparison with existing CVEs

GHSA-f94q-w3w8-cj67 and GHSA-gxjc-74v5-3vx3 affect individual Tenant fields — their validators existed but checked the wrong field. This issue is different: no validator exists at all for CapsuleConfiguration regex fields, and the blast radius is cluster-wide (all Nodes), not scoped to one tenant.

PoC

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "regexp"
)

type ForbiddenListSpec struct{ Regex string }

// Exact copy of pkg/api/forbidden_list.go:34-38
func (in ForbiddenListSpec) RegexMatch(value string) bool {
    if len(in.Regex) > 0 {
        return regexp.MustCompile(in.Regex).MatchString(value)
    }
    return false
}

func main() {
    // 1. cfg webhook has no validator → invalid regex stored in etcd
    // (no webhook in internal/webhook/cfg/ checks regex fields)

    // 2. Stored malformed regex loaded from CapsuleConfiguration
    forbidden := ForbiddenListSpec{Regex: `[invalid-regex(`}

    // 3. node/user_metadata.go:131 called on every Node admission request
    defer func() {
        if r := recover(); r != nil {
            fmt.Printf("PANIC: %v\n", r)
            // Output: PANIC: regexp: Compile(`[invalid-regex(`): error parsing regexp: missing closing ]
        }
    }()
    forbidden.RegexMatch("kubernetes.io/hostname")
}

Expected output:

PANIC: regexp: Compile(`[invalid-regex(`): error parsing regexp: missing closing ]: `[invalid-regex(`

Fix

Add a node_metadata_regex.go handler to internal/webhook/cfg/ following the same pattern as forbidden_annotations_regex.go:

```go package cfg

import ( "context" "regexp"

  "sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/client"
  "sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/webhook/admission"

  capsulev1beta2 "github.com/projectcapsule/capsule/api/v1beta2"
  ad "github.com/projectcapsule/capsule/pkg/runtime/admission"
  "github.com/projectcapsule/capsule/pkg/runtime/events"
  "github.com/projectcapsule/capsule/pkg/runtime/handlers"

)

type nodeMetadataRegexHandler struct{}

func NodeMetadataRegexHandler() handlers.TypedHandler[*capsulev1beta2.CapsuleConfiguration] { return &nodeMetadataRegexHandler{} }

func (h nodeMetadataRegexHandler) OnCreate( _ client.Client, _ client.Reader, cfg capsulev1beta2.CapsuleConfiguration, _ admission.Decoder, _ events.EventRecorder, ) handlers.Func { return func(_ context.Context, req admission.Request) *admission.Response { return h.validate(cfg, req) } }

func (h nodeMetadataRegexHandler) OnDelete( client.Client, client.Reader, capsulev1beta2.CapsuleConfiguration, admission.Decoder, events.EventRecorder, ) handlers.Func { return func(context.Context, admission.Request) *admission.Response { return nil } }

func (h nodeMetadataRegexHandler) OnUpdate( _ client.Client, _ client.Reader, cfg capsulev1beta2.CapsuleConfiguration, _ capsulev1beta2.CapsuleConfiguration, _ admission.Decoder, _ events.EventRecorder, ) handlers.Func { return func(_ context.Context, req admission.Request) admission.Response { return h.validate(cfg, req) } }

func (h nodeMetadataRegexHandler) validate(cfg capsulev1beta2.CapsuleConfiguration, req admission.Request) *admission.Response { if cfg.Spec.NodeMetadata == nil { return nil }

  expressions := map[string]string{
      "labels":      cfg.Spec.NodeMetadata.ForbiddenLabels.Regex,
      "annotations": cfg.Spec.NodeMetadata.ForbiddenAnnotations.Regex,
  }

  for scope, expression := range expressions {
      if expression == "" {
          continue
      }

      if _, err := regexp.Compile(expression); err != nil {
          return ad.Denyf(
              "unable to compile regex %q for forbidden %s: %v",
              expression,
              scope,
              err,
          )
      }
  }

  return nil

}

Step 2: Register the handler in cmd/controller/main.go:

route.ConfigValidation( cfgvalidation.Handler(cfg, cfgvalidation.WarningHandler(), cfgvalidation.ServiceAccountHandler(), cfgvalidation.OwnerHandler(), cfgvalidation.NodeMetadataRegexHandler(), // ← ADD THIS LINE ), ), ```

Impact

A Cluster Admin (or compromised admin account) can update CapsuleConfiguration with a malformed NodeMetadata regex (e.g., [invalid-regex(). The update is accepted without validation and persisted to etcd. Once stored, every subsequent Node admission request triggers regexp.MustCompile() with the invalid pattern, causing the Capsule node webhook to panic.

Affected operations (cluster-wide): - Node labeling, annotations, and taints (kubectl label/annotate/taint node) - Cluster autoscaler operations (cannot register or remove nodes) - Cloud provider node lifecycle management (metadata sync, status updates) - Node maintenance workflows (cordon, drain, uncordon)

Severity: This is a cluster-wide Denial of Service affecting all Node infrastructure operations. Unlike tenant-scoped CVEs (GHSA-f94q-w3w8-cj67, GHSA-gxjc-74v5-3vx3) that impact only Ingress or Namespace operations within a single tenant, this vulnerability blocks the entire cluster's ability to manage nodes.

The cluster cannot scale, perform maintenance, or process any node metadata changes until a Cluster Admin manually corrects the CapsuleConfiguration—requiring direct kubectl access with valid YAML.
