Welcome to Inedo Security Labs

Established in 2023, we're a team of security researchers that work closely with Inedo's product engineers, solution architects, and leadership to improve Software Supply Chain Security for our customers and beyond. We accomplish this through research (some of which is published in our SecLib), as well as advisory and consulting services.

We also curate the ProGet Vulnerability Database (PGVD), which is an aggregation of publicly-disclosed vulnerabilities from a variety of sources and malicious packages we've detected. In addition, we'll do easy-to-understand write-ups of prominent vulnerabilities, so that you don't have to be a security researcher yourself to learn how to protect yourself.

Latest Vulnerabilities Detected

CVSS Score	Vulnerability ID	Summary	Package
unfiled	PGV-2582605	calibre is an e-book manager. In versions 8.13.0 and prior, calibre does not validate filenames when handling binary assets in FB2 files, allowing an attacker to write arbitrary files on the filesystem when viewing or converting a malicious FictionBook file. This can be leveraged to achieve arbitrary code execution. This issue is fixed in version 8.14.0.	debian/calibre source (deb)
7.6	PGV-2582433	ProsemirrorToHtml has a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability through unescaped HTML attribute values	prosemirror_to_html (gem)
7.8	PGV-2582426	Insecure Deserialization (pickle) in pdfminer.six CMap Loader — Local Privesc	pdfminer-six (conda)
7.8	PGV-2582425	Insecure Deserialization (pickle) in pdfminer.six CMap Loader — Local Privesc	pdfminer-six (pypi)
5.3	PGV-2582435	A weakness has been identified in mruby 3.4.0. This vulnerability affects the function ary_fill_exec of the file mrbgems/mruby-array-ext/src/array.c. Executing manipulation of the argument start/length can lead to out-of-bounds write. The attack needs to be launched locally. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be exploited. This patch is called 93619f06dd378db6766666b30c08978311c7ec94. It is best practice to apply a patch to resolve this issue.	debian/mruby source (deb)
