### Impact In some situations, Strimzi creates an incorrect Kubernetes `Role` which grants the Apache Kafka Connect and Apache Kafka MirrorMaker 2 operands the `GET` access to all Kubernetes Secrets that exist in the given Kubernetes namespace. The exact scenario when this happens is when: * Apache Kafka Connect is deployed without at least one of the following options configured: * TLS encryption with configured trusted certificates (no `.spec.tls.trustedCertificates` section in the `KafkaConnect` CR) * mTLS authentication (no `type: tls` in `.spec.authentication` section of the `KafkaConnect` CR) * TLS encryption with configured trusted certificates for `type: oauth` authentication (no `.spec.authentication.tlsTrustedCertificates` section in the `KafkaConnect` CR) * Apache Kafka MirrorMaker2 is deployed without at least one of the following options configured for the target cluster: * TLS encryption with configured trusted certificates (no `.spec.target.tls.trustedCe...

### Summary A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Open WebUI allows any authenticated user to force the server to make HTTP requests to arbitrary URLs. This can be exploited to access cloud metadata endpoints (AWS/GCP/Azure), scan internal networks, access internal services behind firewalls, and exfiltrate sensitive information. No special permissions beyond basic authentication are required. ### Details The vulnerability exists in the /api/v1/retrieval/process/web endpoint located in backend/open_webui/routers/retrieval.py at lines 1758-1767. Vulnerable code: @router.post("/process/web") def process_web( request: Request, form_data: ProcessUrlForm, user=Depends(get_verified_user) ): try: collection_name = form_data.collection_name if not collection_name: collection_name = calculate_sha256_string(form_data.url)[:63] content, docs = get_content_from_url(request, form_data.url) # ← SSRF vulnerability Th...

Red Hat is excited to announce the release of Red Hat OpenShift sandboxed containers 1.11 and Red Hat build of Trustee 1.0, marking a significant milestone in our confidential computing journey. These releases bring production-grade support for confidential containers in Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift and introduce technology preview support for bare metal environments with Intel TDX and AMD SEV-SNP processors. Organizations can now protect their most sensitive workloads with hardware-based memory encryption and attestation capabilities across cloud and on-premises infrastructure. OpenShift

### Summary A security issue exists in the `exec_in_pod` tool of the `mcp-server-kubernetes` MCP Server. The tool accepts user-provided commands in both array and string formats. When a string format is provided, it is passed directly to shell interpretation (`sh -c`) without input validation, allowing shell metacharacters to be interpreted. This vulnerability can be exploited through direct command injection or indirect prompt injection attacks, where AI agents may execute commands without explicit user intent. ### Details The MCP Server exposes the `exec_in_pod` tool to execute commands inside Kubernetes pods. The tool supports both array and string command formats. The Kubernetes Exec API (via `@kubernetes/client-node`) accepts commands as an array of strings, which executes commands directly without shell interpretation. However, when a string format is provided, the code automatically wraps it in shell execution (`sh -c`), which interprets shell metacharacters without any input v...

Hackers aren’t kicking down the door anymore. They just use the same tools we use every day — code packages, cloud accounts, email, chat, phones, and “trusted” partners — and turn them against us. One bad download can leak your keys. One weak vendor can expose many customers at once. One guest invite, one link on a phone, one bug in a common tool, and suddenly your mail, chats, repos, and

In this October roundup, we cut through the noise to focus on the essential technical blueprints and policy foundations required to succeed. These articles, from key platform updates and critical security integrations to the future of open source legality, represent the core strategic reading for Q4. We highlight how Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6 streamlines operations, how Red Hat AI 3 and its intelligent control plane transform GPU infrastructure, and how our strategic partnership with NVIDIA simplifies the AI software stack. This is the quarter for planning that prepares your orga

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered five vulnerabilities in Fluent Bit, an open-source and lightweight telemetry agent, that could be chained to compromise and take over cloud infrastructures. The security defects "allow attackers to bypass authentication, perform path traversal, achieve remote code execution, cause denial-of-service conditions, and manipulate tags," Oligo Security said in

This week saw a lot of new cyber trouble. Hackers hit Fortinet and Chrome with new 0-day bugs. They also broke into supply chains and SaaS tools. Many hid inside trusted apps, browser alerts, and software updates. Big firms like Microsoft, Salesforce, and Google had to react fast — stopping DDoS attacks, blocking bad links, and fixing live flaws. Reports also showed how fast fake news, AI

This week showed just how fast things can go wrong when no one’s watching. Some attacks were silent and sneaky. Others used tools we trust every day — like AI, VPNs, or app stores — to cause damage without setting off alarms. It’s not just about hacking anymore. Criminals are building systems to make money, spy, or spread malware like it’s a business. And in some cases, they’re using the same
