Vulnerabilities related to Unicode fixed

Researchers from the universities of Cambridge and Edinburgh have developed developed attack methods for compromising open-source software. This involves the abuse of Unicode control characters. By placing control characters in the source code at tactical places in tactical places, source code is...

Unicode characters allow malicious code to be hidden from a human reviewer (JSM Server & Insight asset management App) - CVE-2021-42574

Researchers at the University of Cambridge reported a vulnerability affecting Jira Service Management Server / DC and Insight Asset Management app where special characters, known as Unicode bidirectional override characters, are not rendered or displayed in the affected applications. These specia...

Vimana - An Experimental Security Framework That Aims To Provide Resources For Auditing Python Web Applications

Vimana is a modular security framework designed to audit Python web applications. The base of the Vimana is composed of crawlers focused on frameworks in addition to the generic ones for web, trackers, discovery, fuzzer, parser among other types of modules. The main idea, from where the framework...

Trojan Source attack lets hackers exploit source code

By Waqas Trojan Source attack impacts all popular programming language compilers, such as C, C++, C, Java, JavaScript, Python, Rust, and Go. This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: Trojan Source attack lets hackers exploit source code...

Hiding Vulnerabilities in Source Code

Really interesting research demonstrating how to hide vulnerabilities in source code by manipulating how Unicode text is displayed. Its really clever, and not the sort of attack one would normally think about. From Ross Andersons blog: We have discovered ways of manipulating the encoding of sourc...

CVE-2021-42694

An issue was discovered in the character definitions of the Unicode Specification through 14.0. The specification allows an adversary to produce source code identifiers such as function names using homoglyphs that render visually identical to a target identifier. Adversaries can leverage this to...

CVE-2021-42574

An issue was discovered in the Bidirectional Algorithm in the Unicode Specification through 14.0. It permits the visual reordering of characters via control sequences, which can be used to craft source code that renders different logic than the logical ordering of tokens ingested by compilers and...

CVE-2021-42694

A flaw was found in the way Unicode standards are implemented in the context of development environments, which have specialized requirements for rendering text. Homoglyphs are different Unicode characters that, to the naked eye, look the same. An attacker could use homoglyphs to deceive a human...
