GHSA-QQGM-C595-2XPG
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-01-30 15:31 – Updated: 2026-01-30 15:31Chef InSpec up to version 5.23 creates named pipes with overly permissive default Windows access controls. A local attacker may interfere with the pipe connection process and exploit the insufficient access restrictions to assume the InSpec execution context, potentially resulting in elevated privileges or operational disruption.
This issue affects Chef Inspec: through 5.23.

GHSA-QR2H-7PWM-H393
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-09-19 16:08 – Updated: 2024-09-20 14:18Impact
ZITADEL's user account deactivation mechanism did not work correctly with service accounts. Deactivated service accounts retained the ability to request tokens, which could lead to unauthorized access to applications and resources.
Patches
2.x versions are fixed on >= 2.62.1 2.61.x versions are fixed on >= 2.61.1 2.60.x versions are fixed on >= 2.60.2 2.59.x versions are fixed on >= 2.59.3 2.58.x versions are fixed on >= 2.58.5 2.57.x versions are fixed on >= 2.57.5 2.56.x versions are fixed on >= 2.56.6 2.55.x versions are fixed on >= 2.55.8 2.54.x versions are fixed on >= 2.54.10
Workarounds
Instead of deactivating the service account, consider creating new credentials and replacing the old ones wherever they are used. This effectively prevents the deactivated service account from being utilized.
- Revoke all existing authentication keys associated with the service account
- Rotate the service account's password

GHSA-QRM9-F75W-HG4C
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-02-11 18:12 – Updated: 2025-02-11 21:40Impact
Applications which have been bootstrapped by the new igniter installer (since AshAuthentication v4.1.0) and who have used the magic link strategy, password resets, confirmation, or are manually revoking tokens are affected by revoked tokens being allowed to verify as valid. If you did not use the new installer, then you are absolutely not affected.
Additionally, unless you have implemented any kind of custom token revocation feature in your application (in which case even cursory testing would have uncovered this issue), then you will not be significantly affected.
The impact here for users is as follows:
- For users using the magic link strategy, magic link tokens are reusable until they expire instead of being immediately revoked. By default magic link tokens are valid for 10 minutes.
- For users of password resets in the password strategy, password reset tokens are reusable until they expire instead of being immediately revoked. By default password reset tokens are valid for 3 days.
- For users of the confirmation add-on, confirmation tokens are reusable until they expire instead of being immediately revoked. By default password reset tokens are valid for 3 days.
Patches
The flaw is patched in version 4.4.9. Additionally a compile time warning is shown to users with remediation instructions if they upgrade. 4.4.9 ships with an upgrader, so if you use mix igniter.upgrade ash_authentication the necessary patch will be applied for you. Otherwise you can run the upgrader manually as described in the error message
Example
[warning] Warning while compiling Tunez.Accounts.Token:
The `:jti` and `:token` options to the `:revoked?` action must allow nil values and it must return a `:boolean`.
This was an error in our igniter installer previous to version 4.4.9, which allowed revoked tokens to be reused.
To fix this, run the following command in your shell:
mix ash_authentication.upgrade 4.4.8 4.4.9
Or:
- remove `allow_nil?: false` from these action arguments, and
- ensure that the action returns `:boolean`.
like so:
action :revoked?, :boolean do
description "Returns true if a revocation token is found for the provided token"
argument :token, :string, sensitive?: true
argument :jti, :string, sensitive?: true
run AshAuthentication.TokenResource.IsRevoked
end
Workarounds
Delete the generated :revoked? generic action in your token resource This will cause it to use the one internal to AshAuthentication which has always been correct. Alternatively, manually make the changes described above.

Mitigation MIT-1
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Mitigation MIT-48
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
Mitigation MIT-49
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.
CAPEC-122: Privilege Abuse
An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources.
CAPEC-233: Privilege Escalation
An adversary exploits a weakness enabling them to elevate their privilege and perform an action that they are not supposed to be authorized to perform.
CAPEC-58: Restful Privilege Elevation
An adversary identifies a Rest HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permission method allowing them to perform various malicious actions upon server data due to lack of access control mechanisms implemented within the application service accepting HTTP messages.
