While this issue was disclosed and patched in the V8 engine in June 2023, the WeChat Webview component was not updated, and still remained vulnerable when Talos reported it to the vendor.

The 2024 State of the vCISO Report continues Cynomi’s tradition of examining the growing popularity of virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) services. According to the independent survey, the demand for these services is increasing, with both providers and clients reaping the rewards. The upward trend is set to continue, with even faster growth expected in the future. However,

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered yet another critical security flaw in the LiteSpeed Cache plugin for WordPress that could allow unauthenticated users to take control of arbitrary accounts. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-44000 (CVSS score: 7.5), impacts versions before and including 6.4.1. It has been addressed in version 6.5.0.1.  "The plugin suffers from an

A new security flaw has been addressed in the Apache OFBiz open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that, if successfully exploited, could lead to unauthenticated remote code execution on Linux and Windows. The high-severity vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-45195 (CVSS score: 7.5), affects all versions of the software before 18.12.16. "An attacker with no valid

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has broken his silence nearly two weeks after his arrest in France, stating the charges are misguided. "If a country is unhappy with an internet service, the established practice is to start a legal action against the service itself," Durov said in a 600-word statement on his Telegram account. "Using laws from the pre-smartphone era to charge a CEO with crimes committed

### Context ICS has the following four messages that enable validators on the provider chain to perform different actions: - `MsgOptIn` -- adds a validator to the consumer chain’s active set - `MsgOptOut` -- removes a validator from the consumer chain’s active set - `MsgAssignConsumerKey` -- changes the consensus key used for a validator’s operations on a consumer chain - `MsgSetConsumerCommissionRate` -- sets a validator’s consumer-specific commission rate Normally, only the respective validators are allowed to perform these actions. ### Issue The upgrade to SDK 0.50, introduced a [signer](https://docs.cosmos.network/v0.50/build/building-modules/protobuf-annotations#signer) field to these messages. This field is used to authenticate the user sending the message to the system. However, there was no validation on the ICS side to check if the signer matches the provider address. As a result, any user could opt-in, opt-out, change the commission rate, or change what public key a...

Security researchers have discovered a cryptographic flaw that leaves the YubiKey 5 vulnerable to attack.

In my opinion, mandatory enrollment is best enrollment.

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...
