eDEX-UI is a science fiction terminal emulator. Versions 2.2.8 and prior are vulnerable to cross-site websocket hijacking. When running eDEX-UI and browsing the web, a malicious website can connect to eDEX's internal terminal control websocket, and send arbitrary commands to the shell. The project has been archived since 2021, and as of time of publication there are no plans to patch this issue and release a new version. Some workarounds are available, including shutting down eDEX-UI when browsing the web and ensuring the eDEX terminal runs with lowest possible privileges.

Versions of the package code-server before 4.10.1 are vulnerable to Missing Origin Validation in WebSockets handshakes. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an adversary in specific scenarios to access data from and connect to the code-server instance.

An issue was discovered in Gitpod versions prior to release-2022.11.2.16. There is a Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking (CSWSH) vulnerability that allows attackers to make WebSocket connections to the Gitpod JSONRPC server using a victim’s credentials, because the Origin header is not restricted. This can lead to the extraction of data from workspaces, to a full takeover of the workspace.

A vulnerability was found in lukehutch Gribbit. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is the function messageReceived of the file src/gribbit/request/HttpRequestHandler.java. The manipulation leads to missing origin validation in websockets. The name of the patch is 620418df247aebda3dd4be1dda10fe229ea505dd. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-217716.
