CVE-2016-5684
HighSummary
An exploitable out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the XMP image handling functionality of the FreeImage library. A specially crafted XMP file can cause an arbitrary memory overwrite resulting in code execution.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can provide a malicious image, which poses a risk of unauthorized access to the system and potential takeover.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the FreeImage library to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability and implement filters to validate XMP files before processing.

A vulnerability in Open VSX allows an unauthenticated attacker to poison the per-extension metadata cache by supplying a crafted X-Forwarded-Host header, replacing download, signature, and public-key URLs with attacker-controlled ones. The cache keys do not include the host, so poisoned entries are served to all clients for the entry's lifetime (1 hour by default, cluster-wide with Redis).
