Taiwan has become the latest country to ban government agencies from using Chinese startup DeepSeek's Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform, citing security risks. "Government agencies and critical infrastructure should not use DeepSeek, because it endangers national information security," according to a statement released by Taiwan's Ministry of Digital Affairs, per Radio Free Asia.

An investigation into more than 300 cyberattacks against US K–12 schools over the past five years shows how schools can withhold crucial details from students and parents whose data was stolen.

Malicious DeepSeek packages on PyPI spread malware, stealing sensitive data like API keys. Learn how this attack targeted developers and how to protect yourself.

### Impact This vulnerability is an **Environment Variable Injection** issue in `dotenv.stringify`, affecting `google/zx` version **8.3.1**. An attacker with control over environment variable values can inject unintended environment variables into `process.env`. This can lead to **arbitrary command execution** or **unexpected behavior** in applications that rely on environment variables for security-sensitive operations. Applications that process untrusted input and pass it through `dotenv.stringify` are particularly vulnerable. ### Patches This issue has been **patched** in version **8.3.2**. Users should **immediately upgrade** to this version to mitigate the vulnerability. ### Workarounds If upgrading is not feasible, users can mitigate the vulnerability by **sanitizing user-controlled environment variable values** before passing them to `dotenv.stringify`. Specifically, avoid using `"`, `'`, and backticks in values, or enforce strict validation of environment variables before u...

### Impact `ssl::select_next_proto` can return a slice pointing into the `server` argument's buffer but with a lifetime bound to the `client` argument. In situations where the `server` buffer's lifetime is shorter than the `client` buffer's, this can cause a use after free. This could cause the server to crash or to return arbitrary memory contents to the client. ### Patches `openssl` 0.10.70 fixes the signature of `ssl::select_next_proto` to properly constrain the output buffer's lifetime to that of both input buffers. ### Workarounds In standard usage of `ssl::select_next_proto` in the callback passed to `SslContextBuilder::set_alpn_select_callback`, code is only affected if the `server` buffer is constructed *within* the callback. For example: Not vulnerable - the server buffer has a `'static` lifetime: ```rust builder.set_alpn_select_callback(|_, client_protos| { ssl::select_next_proto(b"\x02h2", client_protos).ok_or_else(AlpnError::NOACK) }); ``` Not vulnerable - the serve...
