A group of cybercriminals is committing bank fraud by convincing victims to scan their IDs and faces.

### Impact Undici already cleared Authorization headers on cross-origin redirects, but did not clear `Proxy-Authorization` headers. ### Patches This is patched in v5.28.3 and v6.6.1 ### Workarounds There are no known workarounds. ### References - https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#authentication-entries - https://github.com/nodejs/undici/security/advisories/GHSA-wqq4-5wpv-mx2g

One of Microsoft's Patch Tuesday fixes has flipped from "Likely to be Exploited" to “Exploitation Detected”.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has revealed that an unnamed state government organization's network environment was compromised via an administrator account belonging to a former employee. "This allowed the threat actor to successfully authenticate to an internal virtual private network (VPN) access point," the agency said in a joint advisory published

A new report cited 28 “verified” accounts on X that appear to be tied to sanctioned groups or individuals.

There was about a 24-hour period where many news outlets reported on a reported DDoS attack that involved a botnet made up of thousands of internet-connected toothbrushes.

Malwarebytes researchers have discovered a prolific campaign of fraudulent energy ads shown to users via Google searches.

### Impact When you send a request with the `Authorization` header to one domain, and the response asks to redirect to a different domain, Scrapy’s built-in redirect middleware creates a follow-up redirect request that keeps the original `Authorization` header, leaking its content to that second domain. The [right behavior](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#ref-for-cors-non-wildcard-request-header-name) would be to drop the `Authorization` header instead, in this scenario. ### Patches Upgrade to Scrapy 2.11.1. If you are using Scrapy 1.8 or a lower version, and upgrading to Scrapy 2.11.1 is not an option, you may upgrade to Scrapy 1.8.4 instead. ### Workarounds If you cannot upgrade, make sure that you are not using the `Authentication` header, either directly or through some third-party plugin. If you need to use that header in some requests, add `"dont_redirect": True` to the `request.meta` dictionary of those requests to disable following redirects for them. If you need to kee...
