IOBit Advanced System Care 15, iTop Screen Recorder 2.1, iTop VPN 3.2, Driver Booster 9, and iTop Screenshot sends HTTP requests in their update procedure in order to download a config file. After downloading the config file, the products will parse the HTTP location of the update from the file and will try to install the update automatically with ADMIN privileges. An attacker Intercepting this communication can supply the product a fake config file with malicious locations for the updates thus gaining a remote code execution on an endpoint.

- CVE-2021-47987HIGH 7.5Real · low riskEPSS 0%
Parse Server before 4.10.0 was affected by a supply chain incident in which incorrect version tags were pushed to the official repository pointing to an unreviewed personal fork of a contributor with write access. No releases were published with these tags; a project was exposed only if it defined a git-based dependency referencing one of the affected tags (for example, parse-server#4.9.3). The code behind the tags was not reviewed or approved, and although no malicious code was identified, the introduction of security vulnerabilities could not be ruled out.
