The FTC is seeking a $10 million settlement over allegations that children’s privacy laws were violated through the mislabeling of kid-focused YouTube videos.

The Invisible Half of the Identity Universe Identity used to live in one place - an LDAP directory, an HR system, a single IAM portal. Not anymore. Today, identity is fragmented across SaaS, on-prem, IaaS, PaaS, home-grown, and shadow applications. Each of these environments carries its own accounts, permissions, and authentication flows. Traditional IAM and IGA tools govern only the nearly

A new critical security vulnerability has been disclosed in n8n, an open-source workflow automation platform, that could enable an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary system commands on the underlying host. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-68668, is rated 9.9 on the CVSS scoring system. It has been described as a case of a protection mechanism failure. It affects n8n versions from

### Summary Reading multiple invalid cookies can lead to a logging storm. ### Impact If the ``cookies`` attribute is accessed in an application, then an attacker may be able to trigger a storm of warning-level logs using a specially crafted Cookie header. ---- Patch: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/commit/64629a0834f94e46d9881f4e99c41a137e1f3326

### Summary Handling of chunked messages can result in excessive blocking CPU usage when receiving a large number of chunks. ### Impact If an application makes use of the `request.read()` method in an endpoint, it may be possible for an attacker to cause the server to spend a moderate amount of blocking CPU time (e.g. 1 second) while processing the request. This could potentially lead to DoS as the server would be unable to handle other requests during that time. ----- Patch: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/commit/dc3170b56904bdf814228fae70a5501a42a6c712 Patch: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/commit/4ed97a4e46eaf61bd0f05063245f613469700229

### Summary A request can be crafted in such a way that an aiohttp server's memory fills up uncontrollably during processing. ### Impact If an application includes a handler that uses the `Request.post()` method, an attacker may be able to freeze the server by exhausting the memory. ----- Patch: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/commit/b7dbd35375aedbcd712cbae8ad513d56d11cce60

### Summary When assert statements are bypassed, an infinite loop can occur, resulting in a DoS attack when processing a POST body. ### Impact If optimisations are enabled (`-O` or `PYTHONOPTIMIZE=1`), and the application includes a handler that uses the `Request.post()` method, then an attacker may be able to execute a DoS attack with a specially crafted message. ------ Patch: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/commit/bc1319ec3cbff9438a758951a30907b072561259

### Summary Path normalization for static files prevents path traversal, but opens up the ability for an attacker to ascertain the existence of absolute path components. ### Impact If an application uses `web.static()` (not recommended for production deployments), it may be possible for an attacker to ascertain the existence of path components. ------ Patch: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/commit/f2a86fd5ac0383000d1715afddfa704413f0711e

### Summary The parser allows non-ASCII decimals to be present in the Range header. ### Impact There is no known impact, but there is the possibility that there's a method to exploit a request smuggling vulnerability. ---- Patch: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/commit/c7b7a044f88c71cefda95ec75cdcfaa4792b3b96
