GHSA-4QP4-9MWX-276R
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-03-30 18:30 – Updated: 2024-03-30 18:30I have activated the CORS because I had a development ui that uses another port number then I forgot to remove it.
So what I just did is : - First removed the cors configuration that allows everyone to access it : before:
sio = socketio.AsyncServer(async_mode="asgi", cors_allowed_origins="*", ping_timeout=1200, ping_interval=30) # Enable CORS for every one
after:
cert_file_path = lollms_paths.personal_certificates/"cert.pem"
key_file_path = lollms_paths.personal_certificates/"key.pem"
if os.path.exists(cert_file_path) and os.path.exists(key_file_path):
is_https = True
else:
is_https = False
# Create a Socket.IO server
sio = socketio.AsyncServer(async_mode="asgi", cors_allowed_origins=config.allowed_origins+[f"https://localhost:{config['port']}" if is_https else f"http://localhost:{config['port']}"], ping_timeout=1200, ping_interval=30) # Enable CORS for selected origins
- Second, I have updated lollms to have two modes (a headless mode and a ui mode). And updated the /execute_code to block if the server is headless or is exposed
@router.post("/execute_code")
async def execute_code(request: Request):
"""
Executes Python code and returns the output.
:param request: The HTTP request object.
:return: A JSON response with the status of the operation.
"""
if lollmsElfServer.config.headless_server_mode:
return {"status":False,"error":"Code execution is blocked when in headless mode for obvious security reasons!"}
if lollmsElfServer.config.host=="0.0.0.0":
return {"status":False,"error":"Code execution is blocked when the server is exposed outside for very obvipous reasons!"}
try:
data = (await request.json())
code = data["code"]
discussion_id = int(data.get("discussion_id","unknown_discussion"))
message_id = int(data.get("message_id","unknown_message"))
language = data.get("language","python")
if language=="python":
ASCIIColors.info("Executing python code:")
ASCIIColors.yellow(code)
return execute_python(code, discussion_id, message_id)
if language=="javascript":
ASCIIColors.info("Executing javascript code:")
ASCIIColors.yellow(code)
return execute_javascript(code, discussion_id, message_id)
if language in ["html","html5","svg"]:
ASCIIColors.info("Executing javascript code:")
ASCIIColors.yellow(code)
return execute_html(code, discussion_id, message_id)
elif language=="latex":

return execute_latex(code, discussion_id, message_id)
elif language in ["bash","shell","cmd","powershell"]:
ASCIIColors.info("Executing shell code:")
ASCIIColors.yellow(code)
return execute_bash(code, discussion_id, message_id)
elif language in ["mermaid"]:
ASCIIColors.info("Executing mermaid code:")

return execute_mermaid(code, discussion_id, message_id)
elif language in ["graphviz","dot"]:
ASCIIColors.info("Executing graphviz code:")
ASCIIColors.yellow(code)
return execute_graphviz(code, discussion_id, message_id)
return {"status": False, "error": "Unsupported language", "execution_time": 0}
except Exception as ex:
trace_exception(ex)
lollmsElfServer.error(ex)
return {"status":False,"error":str(ex)}
I also added an optional https mode and looking forward to add a full authentication with cookies and a personal session etc.
All updates will be in V 9.1
Again, thanks alot for your work. I will make it harder next time, but if you find more bugs, just be my guest :)

A user can store an IFRAME element (containing a user/card.php CSRF request) in his Linked Files settings page. When visited by the admin, this could completely take over the admin account.

GHSA-4R48-94P2-QWQ4
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-02-19 09:33 – Updated: 2025-02-19 09:33The Disable Auto Updates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.4. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'disable-auto-updates' page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to disable all auto updates via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Mitigation MIT-4
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 [REF-1482].
- For example, use anti-CSRF packages such as the OWASP CSRFGuard. [REF-330]
- Another example is the ESAPI Session Management control, which includes a component for CSRF. [REF-45]
Mitigation
Ensure that the application is free of cross-site scripting issues (CWE-79), because most CSRF defenses can be bypassed using attacker-controlled script.
Mitigation
Generate a unique nonce for each form, place the nonce into the form, and verify the nonce upon receipt of the form. Be sure that the nonce is not predictable (CWE-330). [REF-332]
Mitigation
Identify especially dangerous operations. When the user performs a dangerous operation, send a separate confirmation request to ensure that the user intended to perform that operation.
Mitigation
- Use the "double-submitted cookie" method as described by Felten and Zeller:
- When a user visits a site, the site should generate a pseudorandom value and set it as a cookie on the user's machine. The site should require every form submission to include this value as a form value and also as a cookie value. When a POST request is sent to the site, the request should only be considered valid if the form value and the cookie value are the same.
- Because of the same-origin policy, an attacker cannot read or modify the value stored in the cookie. To successfully submit a form on behalf of the user, the attacker would have to correctly guess the pseudorandom value. If the pseudorandom value is cryptographically strong, this will be prohibitively difficult.
- This technique requires Javascript, so it may not work for browsers that have Javascript disabled. [REF-331]
Mitigation
Do not use the GET method for any request that triggers a state change.
Mitigation
Check the HTTP Referer header to see if the request originated from an expected page. This could break legitimate functionality, because users or proxies may have disabled sending the Referer for privacy reasons.
CAPEC-111: JSON Hijacking (aka JavaScript Hijacking)
An attacker targets a system that uses JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) as a transport mechanism between the client and the server (common in Web 2.0 systems using AJAX) to steal possibly confidential information transmitted from the server back to the client inside the JSON object by taking advantage of the loophole in the browser's Same Origin Policy that does not prohibit JavaScript from one website to be included and executed in the context of another website.
CAPEC-462: Cross-Domain Search Timing
An attacker initiates cross domain HTTP / GET requests and times the server responses. The timing of these responses may leak important information on what is happening on the server. Browser's same origin policy prevents the attacker from directly reading the server responses (in the absence of any other weaknesses), but does not prevent the attacker from timing the responses to requests that the attacker issued cross domain.
CAPEC-467: Cross Site Identification
An attacker harvests identifying information about a victim via an active session that the victim's browser has with a social networking site. A victim may have the social networking site open in one tab or perhaps is simply using the "remember me" feature to keep their session with the social networking site active. An attacker induces a payload to execute in the victim's browser that transparently to the victim initiates a request to the social networking site (e.g., via available social network site APIs) to retrieve identifying information about a victim. While some of this information may be public, the attacker is able to harvest this information in context and may use it for further attacks on the user (e.g., spear phishing).
CAPEC-62: Cross Site Request Forgery
An attacker crafts malicious web links and distributes them (via web pages, email, etc.), typically in a targeted manner, hoping to induce users to click on the link and execute the malicious action against some third-party application. If successful, the action embedded in the malicious link will be processed and accepted by the targeted application with the users' privilege level. This type of attack leverages the persistence and implicit trust placed in user session cookies by many web applications today. In such an architecture, once the user authenticates to an application and a session cookie is created on the user's system, all following transactions for that session are authenticated using that cookie including potential actions initiated by an attacker and simply "riding" the existing session cookie.
