Out-of-bounds read in Windows Subsystem for Linux allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Crypto software wallets are invincible in the micro range. If you own multiple crypto assets, you need safe and reliable wallets, too.

## Overview On many platforms, a third party can create a Git repository under a name that includes a shell command substitution [^1] string in the syntax `$(<command>)`. These directory names are allowed in macOS and a majority of Linux distributions [^2]. If a user starts `jupyter-lab` in a parent directory of this inappropriately-named Git repository, opens it, and clicks "Git > Open Git Repository in Terminal" from the menu bar, then the injected command `<command>` is run in the user's shell without the user's permission. This issue is occurring because when that menu entry is clicked, `jupyterlab-git` opens the terminal and runs `cd <git-repo-path>` through the shell to set the current directory [^3]. Doing so runs any command substitution strings present in the directory name, which leads to the command injection issue described here. A previous patch provided an incomplete fix [^4].

### Impact The Tauri [`shell`](https://tauri.app/plugin/shell/) plugin exposes functionality to execute code and open programs on the system. The [`open`](https://tauri.app/reference/javascript/shell/#open) endpoint of this plugin is designed to allow open functionality with the system opener (e.g. `xdg-open` on Linux). This was meant to be restricted to a reasonable number of protocols like `https` or `mailto` by default. This default restriction was not functional due to improper validation of the allowed protocols, allowing for potentially dangerous protocols like `file://`, `smb://`, or `nfs://` and others to be opened by the system registered protocol handler. By passing untrusted user input to the `open` endpoint these potentially dangerous protocols can be abused to gain remote code execution on the system. This either requires direct exposure of the endpoint to application users or code execution in the frontend of a Tauri application. You are not affected if you have e...

Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on an "auto-propagating" cryptocurrency mining botnet called Outlaw (aka Dota) that's known for targeting SSH servers with weak credentials. "Outlaw is a Linux malware that relies on SSH brute-force attacks, cryptocurrency mining, and worm-like propagation to infect and maintain control over systems," Elastic Security Labs said in a new analysis

Open source software is the backbone of the modern technology landscape. Enterprises small and large, across industries, rely on open source projects to power critical applications and infrastructure. With the rise of AI-driven code generation tools, developers have a whole new frontier to explore. But while AI-generated contributions might supercharge productivity, they also raise new concerns around security, safety and governance. Below we explore the dynamics of open source projects, how AI-generated code can influence enterprise software and what considerations and best practices you shou

### Impact In libcontainer, while creating a tenant container, the tenant builder accepts a list of capabilities to be added in the spec of tenant container. Code can be seen [here](https://github.com/youki-dev/youki/blob/9e63fa4da1672a78ca45100f3059a732784a5174/crates/libcontainer/src/container/tenant_builder.rs#L408) . The logic here adds the given capabilities to all capabilities of main container if present in spec, otherwise simply set provided capabilities as capabilities of the tenant container. However, GHSA-f3fp-gc8g-vw66 was opened on runc mentioning that setting inherited caps in any case for tenant container can lead to elevation of capabilities. For this, they added a fix [here](https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/blob/986451c24e17c8d4be3c454f60b1f7be4af3e8b4/exec.go#L234-L242) where they never set new inherited caps on tenant, and set ambient caps only if original container had inherited caps. Similarly crun never sets inherited caps as can be seen [here](https://git...

Amid growing concerns over Big Tech firms aligning with Trump administration policies, people are starting to move their digital lives to services based overseas. Here's what you need to know.
