Boydell & Brewer Ltd was formed in 1978. It merged two companies, Boydell Press & D.S. Brewer, whose founders, Richard Barber & Derek Brewer, were themselves scholars - Brewer a Chaucer specialist & subsequently Professor of English and Master of Emmanuel College, Barber a medieval historian & Arthurian. Medieval studies originally formed the core of the list, but it has rapidly expanded to embrace the humanities in all periods up to and including the present day. In 1996 the company bought John Varey's Tamesis list and became the leading Hispanic studies imprint outside Spain. Tamesis specialised in the publication of archive studies of Spanish theatrical history & scholarly editions & monographs relating to the literature, history, art & philology of the Spanish-speaking world. Recently the series has broadened to include more studies on living writers, Latin American subjects, film & history. The Boydell Press has also become one of the leading publishers of books on classical music. Initially the list had a particular focus on British music & music of the twentieth century, but this has since broadened to include all periods & genres. Seeking to establish a presence in the US market, B&B entered into a partnership agreement with the University of Rochester to found the University of Rochester Press in June 1989. Alongside publications in the fields of African studies, philosophy, & social & medical history, URP is also home to the prestigious Eastman Studies in Music series. In 1998 the US programme was extended further with B&B's acquisition of Camden House, a scholarly publisher of books on German & American literature & culture. In 2008, the renowned publisher of books in African Studies, James Currey Ltd joined the B&B group of imprints. Founded in 1984, when James Currey left Heinemann Educational Books as publisher of the acclaimed African Writers series, this independent imprint continued his personal engagement in African publishing.

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.

Mattermost versions 11.0.x <= 11.0.2, 10.12.x <= 10.12.1, 10.11.x <= 10.11.4, 10.5.x <= 10.5.12 fail to to verify that the token used during the code exchange originates from the same authentication flow, which allows an authenticated user to perform account takeover via a specially crafted email address used when switching authentication methods and sending a request to the /users/login/sso/code-exchange endpoint. The vulnerability requires ExperimentalEnableAuthenticationTransfer to be enabled (default: enabled) and RequireEmailVerification to be disabled (default: disabled).
