GHSA-pph8-gcv7-4qj5: PyO3 Risk of buffer overflow in `PyString::from_object`

`PyString::from_object` took `&str` arguments and forwarded them directly to the Python C API without checking for terminating nul bytes. This could lead the Python interpreter to read beyond the end of the `&str` data and potentially leak contents of the out-of-bounds read (by raising a Python exception containing a copy of the data including the overflow). In PyO3 0.24.1 this function will now allocate a `CString` to guarantee a terminating nul bytes. PyO3 0.25 will likely offer an alternative API which takes `&CStr` arguments.

Helping Your Clients Achieve NIST Compliance: A Step by Step Guide for Service Providers

Introduction As the cybersecurity landscape evolves, service providers play an increasingly vital role in safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining compliance with industry regulations. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) offers a comprehensive set of frameworks that provide a clear path to achieving robust cybersecurity practices. For service providers, adhering to NIST

Outlaw Group Uses SSH Brute-Force to Deploy Cryptojacking Malware on Linux Servers

Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on an "auto-propagating" cryptocurrency mining botnet called Outlaw (aka Dota) that's known for targeting SSH servers with weak credentials. "Outlaw is a Linux malware that relies on SSH brute-force attacks, cryptocurrency mining, and worm-like propagation to infect and maintain control over systems," Elastic Security Labs said in a new analysis

How SSL Misconfigurations Impact Your Attack Surface

When assessing an organization’s external attack surface, encryption-related issues (especially SSL misconfigurations) receive special attention. Why? Their widespread use, configuration complexity, and visibility to attackers as well as users make them more likely to be exploited.  This highlights how important your SSL configurations are in maintaining your web application security and

FIN7 Deploys Anubis Backdoor to Hijack Windows Systems via Compromised SharePoint Sites

The financially motivated threat actor known as FIN7 has been linked to a Python-based backdoor called Anubis (not to be confused with an Android banking trojan of the same name) that can grant them remote access to compromised Windows systems. "This malware allows attackers to execute remote shell commands and other system operations, giving them full control over an infected machine," Swiss

New Malware Loaders Use Call Stack Spoofing, GitHub C2, and .NET Reactor for Stealth

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered an updated version of a malware loader called Hijack Loader that implements new features to evade detection and establish persistence on compromised systems. "Hijack Loader released a new module that implements call stack spoofing to hide the origin of function calls (e.g., API and system calls)," Zscaler ThreatLabz researcher Muhammed Irfan V A said in

Red Hat OpenShift and zero trust: Securing workloads with cert-manager and OpenShift Service Mesh
