Last Update: 2025-11-26

COLE Publishing, established in 1979 in the heart of Wisconsin’s northwoods, has grown to become North America’s largest publisher of print, web and trade shows serving the water and wastewater industries. Our pride and success stem from the personal relationships we’ve forged and maintained over nearly forty years of working with our loyal friends and colleagues in the business. As our company name declares, we've been magazine publishers since 1979. Our offerings have grown over the past 30 plus years, but the foundation of our business has always been the same – recognizing the under-appreciated and often overlooked people who provide services for and/or maintain our water and wastewater infrastructures. The WEQ Fair – Wastewater Equipment Fair – brings equipment to cities around the country for live, hands-on demonstrations. These outdoor events let you get up-close and personal with operational equipment and the professionals who manufacture, distribute and sell them. To complement our magazines, we have a full range of digital offerings – including news, equipment, directories and more. We've been developing and delivering content online since 1996. I guess that kind of makes us pioneers by Internet standards – then again, we believe in leading, not following. We look forward to serving you.

The Company of Biologists exists to support biologists and inspire advances in biology. We do this through our portfolio of publications, the promotion of research and study, and the development of connections and communities. At the heart of what we do are our five specialist journals: Development, Journal of Cell Science, Journal of Experimental Biology, Disease Models & Mechanisms (OA) and Biology Open (OA). All are edited by expert researchers in the field, and all articles are subjected to rigorous peer review. We believe that the profits from publishing the hard work of biologists should support scientific discovery and help develop future scientists. Therefore, we reinvest the profits we make, using them to organise and facilitate scientific meetings, build and develop communities of biologists, assist the activities of specialist societies and give financial support to young researchers.

Latest Global CVEs (Not Company-Specific)

Description

ThingsBoard in versions prior to v4.2.1 allows an authenticated user to upload malicious SVG images via the "Image Gallery", leading to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. The exploit can be triggered when any user accesses the public API endpoint of the malicious SVG images, or if the malicious images are embedded in an `iframe` element, during a widget creation, deployed to any page of the platform (e.g., dashboards), and accessed during normal operations. The vulnerability resides in the `ImageController`, which fails to restrict the execution of JavaScript code when an image is loaded by the user's browser. This vulnerability can lead to the execution of malicious code in the context of other users' sessions, potentially compromising their accounts and allowing unauthorized actions.
