When I joined Red Hat in 2019, one of the first blogs that I read was titled “Why CVSS does not equal risk: How to think about risk in your environment”. In summary, it explains why CVSS ≠ Risk: Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) scores measure the severity of vulnerabilities but don’t capture the unique risks they pose to specific environments. Risk is context-dependent, and organizations must consider factors like exploitability, impact and mitigation to tailor vulnerability management to their needs.Today, many organizations are still measuring the security of their environm

Social engineering methods are being put to the test to distribute malware.

This new report from Cisco Talos Incident Response explores how threat actors increasingly deployed web shells against vulnerable web applications, and exploited vulnerable or unpatched public-facing applications to gain initial access.

## Summary [Deep Java Library (DJL)](https://docs.djl.ai/master/index.html) is an open-source, high-level, engine-agnostic Java framework for deep learning. DJL is designed to be easy to get started with and simple to use for Java developers. DJL provides a native Java development experience and functions like any other regular Java library. DJL provides utilities for extracting tar and zip model archives that are used when loading models for use with DJL. These utilities were found to contain issues that do not protect against absolute path traversal during the extraction process. ## Impact An issue exists with DJL's untar and unzip functionalities. Specifically, it is possible to create an archive on a Windows system, and when extracted on a MacOS or Linux system, write artifacts outside the intended destination during the extraction process. The reverse is also true for archives created on MacOS/Linux systems and extracted on Windows systems. Impacted versions: 0.1.0 - 0.31.0 ...
