A type confusion vulnerability exists in the lasso_node_impl_init_from_xml functionality of Entr'ouvert Lasso 2.5.1 and 2.8.2. A specially crafted SAML response can lead to an arbitrary code execution. An attacker can send a malformed SAML response to trigger this vulnerability.

RIOT-OS, an operating system that supports Internet of Things devices, contains a network stack with the ability to process 6LoWPAN frames. Prior to version 2022.10, an attacker can send a crafted frame to the device resulting in a type confusion between IPv6 extension headers and a UDP header. This occurs while encoding a 6LoWPAN IPHC header. The type confusion manifests in an out of bounds write in the packet buffer. The overflow can be used to corrupt other packets and the allocator metadata. Corrupting a pointer will easily lead to denial of service. While carefully manipulating the allocator metadata gives an attacker the possibility to write data to arbitrary locations and thus execute arbitrary code. Version 2022.10 fixes this issue. As a workaround, apply the patches manually.

An error in Hermes' algorithm for copying objects properties prior to commit a00d237346894c6067a594983be6634f4168c9ad could be used by a malicious attacker to execute arbitrary code via type confusion. Note that this is only exploitable in cases where Hermes is used to execute untrusted JavaScript. Hence, most React Native applications are not affected.

A type confusion bug in TypedArray prior to commit e6ed9c1a4b02dc219de1648f44cd808a56171b81 could have been used by a malicious attacker to execute arbitrary code via untrusted JavaScript. Note that this is only exploitable in cases where Hermes is used to execute untrusted JavaScript. Hence, most React Native applications are not affected.

An issue was discovered on Samsung mobile devices with O(8.x) (with TEEGRIS) software. There is type confusion in the WVDRM Trustlet, leading to arbitrary code execution. The Samsung ID is SVE-2019-14885 (September 2019).

Fuji Electric Monitouch V-SFT is vulnerable to a type confusion, which could cause a crash or code execution.

HTML::Gumbo versions before 0.19 for Perl disclose heap memory via type confusion. Support for the <template> element was added to libgumbo 0.10.0 in 2015, but the walk_tree function in lib/HTML/Gumbo.xs was not updated to support it. The element was treated as a text-node, where strlen() over-reads the heap block that the pointer addresses. Any caller that runs parse() with the default format => 'string', or with format => 'tree', on input containing a <template> element serializes the over-read bytes into the returned result, disclosing bounded heap contents. format => 'callback' reaches a croak on the unhandled node type and is unaffected.

Type confusion in Snapchat LensCore could lead to denial of service or arbitrary code execution prior to version 12.88. We recommend upgrading to version 12.88 or above.

An issue was discovered on Samsung mobile devices with O(8.1) and P(9.0) (with TEEGRIS) software. There is type confusion in the MLDAP Trustlet, leading to arbitrary code execution. The Samsung ID is SVE-2019-14867 (August 2019).

Handlebars provides the power necessary to let users build semantic templates. In versions 4.0.0 through 4.7.8, `Handlebars.compile()` accepts a pre-parsed AST object in addition to a template string. The `value` field of a `NumberLiteral` AST node is emitted directly into the generated JavaScript without quoting or sanitization. An attacker who can supply a crafted AST to `compile()` can therefore inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript, leading to Remote Code Execution on the server. Version 4.7.9 fixes the issue. Some workarounds are available. Validate input type before calling `Handlebars.compile()`; ensure the argument is always a `string`, never a plain object or JSON-deserialized value. Use the Handlebars runtime-only build (`handlebars/runtime`) on the server if templates are pre-compiled at build time; `compile()` will be unavailable.

.NET and Visual Studio Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 2 and earlier, 6 Update 30 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 33 and earlier allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Concurrency. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the February 2012 Oracle CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from a downstream vendor and third party researchers that this issue occurs because the AtomicReferenceArray class implementation does not ensure that the array is of the Object[] type, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (JVM crash) or bypass Java sandbox restrictions. NOTE: this issue was originally mapped to CVE-2011-3571, but that identifier was already assigned to a different issue.

In Macrob7 Macs Framework Content Management System (CMS) 1.1.4f, loose comparison in "isValidLogin()" function during login attempt results in PHP type confusion vulnerability that leads to authentication bypass and takeover of the administrator account.

The Tarkov Data Manager is a tool to manage the Tarkov item data. Prior to 02 January 2025, an authentication bypass vulnerability in the login endpoint allows any unauthenticated user to gain full admin access to the Tarkov Data Manager admin panel by exploiting a JavaScript prototype property access vulnerability, combined with loose equality type coercion. A series of fix commits on 02 January 2025 fixed this and other vulnerabilities.

A type confusion vulnerability could be triggered when resolving the "typeof" unary operator in Facebook Hermes prior to v0.10.0. Note that this is only exploitable if the application using Hermes permits evaluation of untrusted JavaScript. Hence, most React Native applications are not affected.

This affects the package mpath before 0.8.4. A type confusion vulnerability can lead to a bypass of CVE-2018-16490. In particular, the condition ignoreProperties.indexOf(parts[i]) !== -1 returns -1 if parts[i] is ['__proto__']. This is because the method that has been called if the input is an array is Array.prototype.indexOf() and not String.prototype.indexOf(). They behave differently depending on the type of the input.

This affects the package json-ptr before 3.0.0. A type confusion vulnerability can lead to a bypass of CVE-2020-7766 when the user-provided keys used in the pointer parameter are arrays.

This affects the package jsonpointer before 5.0.0. A type confusion vulnerability can lead to a bypass of a previous Prototype Pollution fix when the pointer components are arrays.

A type confusion in jsish 2.0 allows incorrect control flow during execution of the OP_NEXT opcode. When an “instanceof” expression uses an array element access as the left-hand operand inside a for-in loop, the instructions implementation leaves an additional array reference on the stack rather than consuming it during OP_INSTANCEOF. As a result, OP_NEXT interprets the array as an iterator object and reads the iterCmd function pointer from an invalid structure, potentially causing a crash or enabling code execution depending on heap layout.
