pREST, the tool that magically turns PostgreSQL databases into REST APIs, had a magical flaw: it trusted user input to build SQL structure. By manipulating parameters like `_join` and `_returning`, attackers could bypass validation and execute arbitrary SQL, leading to total database compromise. Fixed in version 2.0.0-rc3.
A systemic SQL injection vulnerability in pREST allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via manipulated API parameters. The flaw stems from widespread string concatenation in critical query builders like JOIN and RETURNING clauses.

A critical logical flaw in the eml_parser Python module prior to version 3.0.2 allows malicious URLs to evade automated security analysis pipelines. By encoding key URI delimiter characters as HTML decimal entities, an attacker can mask indicators of compromise. Security controls, orchestration layers, and sandbox systems fail to detect these links, while downstream Mail User Agents natively reconstruct the malicious hyper-references when processed by end-users. This mechanism undermines the integrity of automated indicator extraction processes within Security Operations Centers.
A denial of service vulnerability in GOVCERT-LU eml_parser before version 3.0.2 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger an unhandled RecursionError exception. The issue arises during the parsing of structured email headers containing excessively nested parentheses representing Comments and Folding White Space (CFWS). Because the parser fails to catch this recursion-limit exception from Python's standard library, processing of the entire mail immediately aborts, which can disrupt automated security triage pipelines and email ingestion components.
Prior to version 3.0.2, GOVCERT-LU's eml_parser library is vulnerable to an algorithmic complexity Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability via the comment-stripping routine noparenthesis() in routing.py. An unauthenticated attacker can submit a crafted EML file containing nested parenthesized comments to cause complete CPU saturation. This happens due to a quadratic time complexity bottleneck in regex replacement of nested structures.
Whistle prior to version 2.10.3 contains a path traversal vulnerability in its internal service layer. An unauthenticated remote attacker can read arbitrary files on the hosting operating system by issuing a crafted GET request containing relative or absolute file paths to the `/cgi-bin/temp/get` endpoint. This behavior occurs because the application fails open when an input file parameter does not match the temporary file format regex.
An arbitrary file read and write vulnerability exists in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server endpoints of sublinear-time-solver and consciousness-explorer. By providing unvalidated file paths to the export_state, import_state, saveVectorToFile, and loadVectorFromFile tools, local attackers can read or overwrite sensitive host files.
An Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (CWE-639 / Insecure Direct Object Reference) vulnerability exists in @arikusi/deepseek-mcp-server starting in version 1.4.2 and fixed in 1.7.0. In Streamable HTTP transport mode, a process-global SessionStore singleton allows any remote client to retrieve or modify active conversation contexts belonging to other clients.
