SocGholish Malware Spread via Ad Tools; Delivers Access to LockBit, Evil Corp, and Others

The threat actors behind the SocGholish malware have been observed leveraging Traffic Distribution Systems (TDSs) like Parrot TDS and Keitaro TDS to filter and redirect unsuspecting users to sketchy content. "The core of their operation is a sophisticated Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) model, where infected systems are sold as initial access points to other cybercriminal organizations," Silent Push

GHSA-378x-6p4f-8jgm: SKOPS Card.get_model happily allows arbitrary code execution

## Summary When using `Card.get_model`, `skops` allows for arbitrary code execution. This is due to the fact that `Card.get_model` allows both `joblib` and `skops` to be used for loading models, and as is well known, `joblib` allows for arbitrary code execution when loading objects. I do not know if this is intended or not, but I found this really concerning for a library that is founded on security. Even if intended, I kindly ask you to consider the security implications of this, disclose the potential implications through an advisory, and change the behavior of the function in future library versions (see below for possible fixes). ## What is the issue? The `Card.get_model` function allows loading models using the `get_model` method. When a `.skops` model is provided, it uses the `load` function from `skops`, which is secure to our knowledge. The `Card` class also allows consistent management of the `trusted` list, allowing it to be passed during instance creation. As expected, if...

GHSA-cq8c-xv66-36gw: Astros's duplicate trailing slash feature leads to an open redirection security issue

## Summary There is an Open Redirection vulnerability in the trailing slash redirection logic when handling paths with double slashes. This allows an attacker to redirect users to arbitrary external domains by crafting URLs such as `https://mydomain.com//malicious-site.com/`. This increases the risk of phishing and other social engineering attacks. This affects Astro >=5.2.0 sites that use on-demand rendering (SSR) with the Node or Cloudflare adapter. It does not affect static sites, or sites deployed to Netlify or Vercel. ## Background Astro performs automatic redirection to the canonical URL, either adding or removing trailing slashes according to the value of the [`trailingSlash`](https://docs.astro.build/en/reference/configuration-reference/#trailingslash) configuration option. It follows the following rules: - If `trailingSlash` is set to `"never"`, `https://example.com/page/` will redirect to `https://example.com/page` - If `trailingSlash` is set to `"always"`, `https://exa...
