There are 3 open security issues in bookworm.
1 important issue:
- CVE-2024-10524:
Applications that use Wget to access a remote resource using shorthand URLs and pass arbitrary user credentials in the URL are vulnerable. In these cases attackers can enter crafted credentials which will cause Wget to access an arbitrary host.
2 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:
- CVE-2021-31879:
(needs triaging)
GNU Wget through 1.21.1 does not omit the Authorization header upon a redirect to a different origin, a related issue to CVE-2018-1000007.
- CVE-2024-38428:
(needs triaging)
url.c in GNU Wget through 1.24.5 mishandles semicolons in the userinfo subcomponent of a URI, and thus there may be insecure behavior in which data that was supposed to be in the userinfo subcomponent is misinterpreted to be part of the host subcomponent.
You can find information about how to handle these issues in the security team's documentation.
