Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a new set of malicious Python packages that target software developers under the guise of coding assessments. "The new samples were tracked to GitHub projects that have been linked to previous, targeted attacks in which developers are lured using fake job interviews," ReversingLabs researcher Karlo Zanki said. The activity has been assessed to be part of

### Impact passing untrusted user input - even after sanitizing it - to `redirect()` may execute untrusted code ### Patches this issue is patched in serve-static 1.16.0 ### Workarounds users are encouraged to upgrade to the patched version of express, but otherwise can workaround this issue by making sure any untrusted inputs are safe, ideally by validating them against an explicit allowlist ### Details successful exploitation of this vector requires the following: 1. The attacker MUST control the input to response.redirect() 1. express MUST NOT redirect before the template appears 1. the browser MUST NOT complete redirection before: 1. the user MUST click on the link in the template

### Impact In express <4.20.0, passing untrusted user input - even after sanitizing it - to `response.redirect()` may execute untrusted code ### Patches this issue is patched in express 4.20.0 ### Workarounds users are encouraged to upgrade to the patched version of express, but otherwise can workaround this issue by making sure any untrusted inputs are safe, ideally by validating them against an explicit allowlist ### Details successful exploitation of this vector requires the following: 1.

### Impact body-parser <1.20.3 is vulnerable to denial of service when url encoding is enabled. A malicious actor using a specially crafted payload could flood the server with a large number of requests, resulting in denial of service. ### Patches this issue is patched in 1.20.3 ### References

Threat actors have long leveraged typosquatting as a means to trick unsuspecting users into visiting malicious websites or downloading booby-trapped software and packages. These attacks typically involve registering domains or packages with names slightly altered from their legitimate counterparts (e.g., goog1e.com vs. google.com). Adversaries targeting open-source repositories across

North Korean threat actors have leveraged a fake Windows video conferencing application impersonating FreeConference.com to backdoor developer systems as part of an ongoing financially-driven campaign dubbed Contagious Interview. The new attack wave, spotted by Singaporean company Group-IB in mid-August 2024, is yet another indication that the activity is also leveraging native installers for

### Impact It is possible to inject and run code within the template if the attacker has access to write the template name. ```js const { template } = require('@blakeembrey/template'); template("Hello {{name}}!", "exploit() {} && ((()=>{ console.log('success'); })()) && function pwned"); ``` ### Patches Upgrade to 1.2.0. ### Workarounds Don't pass untrusted input as the template display name, or don't use the display name feature. ### References Fixed by removing in https://github.com/blakeembrey/js-template/commit/b8d9aa999e464816c6cfb14acd1ad0f5d1e335aa.

### Impact Tina search token leaked via lock file (tina-lock.json) in TinaCMS. Sites building with @tinacms/cli < 1.6.2 that use a search token are impacted. If your Tina-enabled website has search setup, you should rotate that key immediately. ### Patches This issue has been patched in @tinacms/cli@1.6.2 ### Workarounds Upgrading, and rotating search token is required for the proper fix. ### References https://github.com/tinacms/tinacms/pull/4758
