Choosing what wine to drink is half the pleasure. If wine were a simple agricultural product—say, a tomato—the selection process would be a pretty straightforward matter: either it’s ripe or it’s not. But when it comes to wine, there is, in fact, no correct choice, no absolute right wine to buy. Instead there’s a discussion, which may just be in your head, or with your soon-to-be dinner companions, or your waiter, or a sales clerk. You might talk about where the wine was grown, from which grapes, and who made it. You’ll consider what will be on the menu. For people who think about wine, these aspects of a wine’s provenance adds to its complexity, to the depth and satisfaction of their engagement with it Wine & Spirits Magazine is written for people who think about wine, as they buy it, sell it and drink it.

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.
