Unit 29155 of Russia’s GRU military intelligence agency—a team responsible for coup attempts, assassinations, and bombings—has branched out into brazen hacking operations with targets across the world.

When a canister method is called via `ic_cdk::call*`, a new Future `CallFuture` is created and can be awaited by the caller to get the execution result. Internally, the state of the Future is tracked and stored in a struct called `CallFutureState`. A bug in the polling implementation of the `CallFuture` allows multiple references to be held for this internal state and not all references were dropped before the `Future` is resolved. Since we have unaccounted references held, a copy of the internal state ended up being persisted in the canister's heap and thus causing a memory leak. ### Impact Canisters built in Rust with `ic_cdk` and `ic_cdk_timers` are affected. If these canisters call a canister method, use timers or heartbeat, they will likely leak a small amount of memory on every such operation. **In the worst case, this could lead to heap memory exhaustion triggered by an attacker.** Motoko based canisters are not affected by the bug. ### Patches The patch has been backporte...

### Impact A vulnerability exists in stripe-cli versions 1.11.1 and higher where a plugin package containing a manifest with a malformed plugin shortname installed using the --archive-url or --archive-path flags can overwrite arbitrary files. The update addresses the path traversal vulnerability by removing the ability to install plugins from an archive URL or path. There has been no evidence of exploitation of this vulnerability. ### Recommendation Upgrade to stripe-cli v1.21.3. ### For more information Email us at [security@stripe.com](mailto:security@stripe.com)

### Summary DNS rebinding is a method of manipulating resolution of domain names to let the initial DNS query hits an address and the second hits another one. For instance the host `make-190.119.176.200-rebind-127.0.0.1-rr.1u.ms` would be initially resolved to `190.119.176.200` and the next DNS issue to `127.0.0.1`. Please notice the following in the latest codebase: ```python def is_private_url(url: str): """ Raises exception if url is private :param url: url to check """ hostname = urlparse(url).hostname if not hostname: # Unable to find hostname in url return True ip = socket.gethostbyname(hostname) return ipaddress.ip_address(ip).is_private ``` As you can see, during the call to `is_private_url()` the initial DNS query would be issued by `ip = socket.gethostbyname(hostname)` to an IP (public one) and then due to DNS Rebinding, the next GET request would goes to the private one. ### PoC ```python from flask import Flask, requ...
