CVE-2012-3292
HighSummary
GridFTP w Globus Toolkit (GT) przed wersją 5.2.2 nieprawidłowo sprawdza wartość zwracaną przez funkcję getpwnam_r, gdy zdefiniowane są określone makra autoconf. Może to pozwolić zdalnym atakującym na uzyskanie uprawnień poprzez logowanie się jako użytkownik, który nie istnieje, co powoduje, że GridFTP działa jako ostatni użytkownik w pliku haseł.
Risk Assessment
Organizacja może być narażona na nieautoryzowany dostęp i eskalację uprawnień, co może prowadzić do poważnych naruszeń bezpieczeństwa. Atakujący mogą wykorzystać tę podatność do przejęcia kontroli nad systemem.
Recommendation
Zaleca się aktualizację Globus Toolkit do wersji 5.2.2 lub nowszej, aby usunąć tę podatność. Dodatkowo, warto przeprowadzić audyt konfiguracji i uprawnień użytkowników w systemie.

`@zereight/mcp-gitlab` is a Model Context Protocol server for GitLab. Prior to version 2.1.27, the SSE transport mode (`SSE=true`) exposes all MCP tools without any authentication. The `upload_markdown` tool reads arbitrary files from the server's local filesystem via an unsanitized `file_path` parameter and uploads them to a GitLab project.

Cotonti 1.0.0 Comments plugin passes the ci GET parameter to unserialize() without allowed_classes restriction, allowing unauthenticated attackers to instantiate arbitrary PHP classes with attacker-controlled properties. Attackers can exploit PHP object injection through crafted serialized payloads to trigger gadget chains and achieve database manipulation or code execution.

`@zereight/mcp-gitlab` is a Model Context Protocol server for GitLab. Versions prior to 2.1.30 expose the Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint without an effective Host or Origin allowlist. A malicious web page can use DNS rebinding to route browser requests to a victim's local MCP listener while preserving an attacker-controlled `Host` and `Origin`.
Original NVD description (English source)
The GridFTP in Globus Toolkit (GT) before 5.2.2, when certain autoconf macros are defined, does not properly check the return value from the getpwnam_r function, which might allow remote attackers to gain privileges by logging in with a user that does not exist, which causes GridFTP to run as the last user in the password file.
