Prospero Editore

Via della Stampa, Novate Milanese, 20026, IT
Last Update: 2025-11-29

Prospero Editore è nato nel maggio 2012 dall'idea di un gruppo di giovani professionisti del mondo della letteratura per offrire un'alternativa dinamica, umana e di qualità sia agli studiosi che a scrittori affermati ed esordienti. Prospero è un editore indipendente: non si avvale di fondi pubblici, né dell'appoggio di grandi marchi o partiti politici. Chi è "Prospero"​? Quando abbiamo fondato Prospero Editore, volendo creare qualcosa di nuovo (oltre che per ragioni ecologiche, di spazio, di praticità e sostenibilità economica), abbiamo ritenuto che fosse opportuno puntare sull'ultima tecnologia possibile, l'ultima evoluzione dell'oggetto "libro"​, ovvero sull'ebook, il libro digitale. Il nome Prospero, il protagonista della “Tempesta” di Shakespeare, ci è sembrato quindi consono al progetto: come il duca di Milano della tragicommedia shakespeariana, che era un mago e un intellettuale sempre in viaggio coi propri libri, così anche Prospero Editore doveva viaggiare in rete coi propri libri… o meglio, ebooks: i testi che si trasportano senza fatica! Prospero Editore è una casa editrice "nativa digitale"​: è nata direttamente su internet; non per questo, però, ha rinunciato alla carta: pubblica sia libri cartacei che digitali. Lo staff di Prospero Editore è formato da laureati, dottori di ricerca e professori di letteratura. Per garantire sempre la qualità dei prodotti (specialmente quando ci occupiamo di critica letteraria), ci avvaliamo anche di consulenti esterni ed esperti di specifici temi. L’età media dei collaboratori di Prospero Editore è inferiore ai 30 anni. Cosa pubblichiamo? Ci occupiamo di letteratura a tutto tondo: Prospero Editore pubblica sia studi di critica letteraria, sia fiction (narrativa, poesia, diaristica, saggistica semplice e racconti fotografici).

Pen & Sword Books is part of The Barnsley Chronicle newspaper group. The Barnsley Chronicle is one of the UK’s oldest provincial newspapers and one of the few weeklies still in private ownership. It was launched in 1858 and recently celebrated its 150th anniversary. The first books produced by the company were in response to public demand following of a series of articles first published weekly in the Barnsley Chronicle. Dark Peak Aircraft Wrecks told the story of crash sites in the Dark Peak National Park and a further weekly feature on the history of two Kitchener battalions, known as the the Barnsley Pals, aroused a thirst for more information. Over the years these books have been reprinted a number of times and collectively have reached a figure of around 20,000 copies sold. Following on from the success of Dark Peak Wrecks and Barnsley Pals books, a number of local history paperbacks were produced along with a series of battlefield guide books. Battleground Europe proved immediately successful and as more and more titles were produced the company made the decision to launch a book publishing arm of the group. When the Leo Cooper imprint became available the company bought it and "Pen and Sword" was born. Leo Cooper, the husband of the famous novelist Jilly, had established a strong reputation for publishing military history titles and had some famous books in his list. With the Leo Cooper imprint and its backlist Pen and Sword became established as one of the UK’s leading military history publishers. Over recent years the company has continued to grow and has added new imprints to its core area of military history. Pen & Sword now specialise in all areas of military history, naval and maritime history, aviation, local history, family history, transport, discovery and exploration, collectables and antiques, nostalgia and true crime. With over 350 books published every year, Pen & Sword has established itself as a specialist book publisher.

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.
