WordPress Transcoder Plugin <= 1.3.5 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

Software Transcoder Type Plugin Vulnerable versions = 1.3.5 Fixed in 1.3.6 OWASP Top 10 A4: Insecure Design Classification Cross Site Request Forgery CSRF CVE CVE-2024-31305 Patch priority Low CVSS severity Low 4.3 Developer Claim ownership PSID 2fac90bed794 Credits Majed Refaea Required privileg...

A malicious delegator could artificially inflate the deductions for a transcoder, potentially leading to incorrect vote counting.

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact Detailed description of the impact of this finding. Proof of Concept In the handleVoteOverrides function, the deductions are added to the transcoder's voter state without any validation: A malicious delegator could call countVote multiple times, each tim...

Calculating the previous pool's 'cumulativeRewardFactor' from the current pool incorrectly calculates the reward.

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact When we updated a transcoder with rewards and then try to update a transcoder with fees, it incorrectly calculates the reward generated in the current round for that transcoder, which also incorrectly calculates the previous pool's cumulativeRewardFactor...

Total stake will be incorrectly reduced if the transcoder was already deactivated.

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact This will result in the total active stake being incorrectly calculated in future rounds. Some transcoders may get more or less rewards than they should. Proof of Concept The key functions involved are: slashTranscoder - Called to slash a transcoder...

the transcoder can continue to participate and earn rewards for a portion of the round it is supposed to be deactivated in

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact A transcoder can potentially receive rewards/fees when it should not be active anymore Proof of Concept resignTranscoder sets the deactivationRound to the next round current round + 1 The isActiveTranscoder check just compares the current round against t...

The bond manager contract does not properly zero out the transcoder's cumulative rewards/fees between rounds.

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact transcoder's cumulative rewards and fees can continue accumulating from previous rounds, instead of resetting each round. This means a transcoder could claim portion of rewards/fees that it should not be entitled to. Proof of Concept This only resets the...

using increaseTotalStakeUncheckpointed() instead of increaseTotalStake() can lead to inconsistent transcoder state

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact This allows a transcoder to increase their voting power without actually increasing their stake. Proof of Concept The relevant code that uses increaseTotalStakeUncheckpointed and skips transcoder state checkpointing is in the updateTranscoderWithRewards...

[M-01] Transcoder can front-run slasher to avoid getting slashed and continue voting

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact In BondingManager.slashTranscoder, verifier can slash transcoderdelegator bonded amounts. However, this can be easily front runned via BondingManager.unbondWithHint by reducing bonded amount to avoid slashing via underflow and keep bonded position...

The logic in _handleVoteOverride to determine if an account is transcoder is not consistent with the logic in the BondManager.sol

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact The logic in handleVoteOverride to determine if an account is transcoder has issue Proof of Concept In the current implementation, when a voting, the function countVote is triggered, this function is overriden in the function...

LastRewardRound is sometimes not checkpointed for Delegators

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact lastRewardRound is not updated/checkpointed for delegators when transcoder changes state. This results in incorrect rewards and votes. It also violates this checkpointing condition specified by the technical specification: Quote: "In practical terms, it...

Slashed transcoder can gain more voting power than it should if all of his bondedAmount would be slashed

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact Slashed transcoders can still become active transcorders by bonding an amount again to increase the total stake, which can inflate the actual delegatedAmount, giving those transcorders more power voting power than it should. Proof of Concept Every time...

Fully slashed transcoder can vote with 0 weight messing up the voting calculations

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact If a transcoder gets slashed fully he can still vote with 0 amount of weight making any other delegated user that wants to change his vote to subtract their weight amount from other delegators/transcoders. Proof of Concept In BondingManager.sol any...

Increasing Stake records the delegated amount for delegator, but does not update the earningsPool stake for transcoder resulting in loss of rewards

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact IncreaseTotalStakeUncheckedPoint function updates the delegated amount, but could may not update the staked amount for the transcoder. This will impact the rewards calculation for transcoder and delegators. Proof of Concept When the TotalStake is...

Deserialization of Untrusted Data in Infinispan

Infinispan permits improper deserialization of trusted data via XML and JSON transcoders under certain server configurations. A user with authenticated access to the server could send a malicious object to a cache configured to accept certain types of objects, achieving code execution and possibl...

envoyproxy/envoy: denial of service when using extensions that modify request or response sizes

An out-of-bounds memory read vulnerability was found in envoyproxy/envoy. When using one of the following envoy extensions, it is possible to modify and increase the request or response body size of the following: the decompressor, json-transcoder, grpc-web, or other proprietary extensions. This...

CVE-2021-32781

Envoy is an open source L7 proxy and communication bus designed for large modern service oriented architectures. In affected versions after Envoy sends a locally generated response it must stop further processing of request or response data. However when local response is generated due the intern...

Pippo Java Deserialization Vulnerability

Pippo is a Java-based Web framework . A security vulnerability exists in Pippo version 1.11.0, which stems from the 'SerializationSessionDataTranscoder.decode' function failing to check the type of a SessionData object before calling the 'ObjectInputStream.readObject' function for deserialization...
