**Windows 11, version 24H2 is not generally available yet. Why are there updates for this version of Windows listed in the Security Updates table?** The new Copilot+ devices that are now publicly available come with Windows 11, version 24H2 installed. Customers with these devices need to know about any vulnerabilities that affect their machine and to install the updates if they are not receiving automatic updates. Note that the general availability date for Windows 11, version 24H2 is scheduled for later this year.

**How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker with Site Owner permissions or higher could upload a specially crafted file to the targeted SharePoint Server and craft specialized API requests to trigger deserialization of file's parameters. This would enable the attacker to perform remote code execution in the context of the SharePoint Server.

**According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is high (PR:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker with Site Owner permissions can use the vulnerability to inject arbitrary code and execute this code in the context of SharePoint Server.

All versions of the package node-gettext are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution via the addTranslations() function in gettext.js due to improper user input sanitization.

Cisco Talos is disclosing a new threat called “DragonRank” that primarily targets countries in Asia and a few in Europe, operating PlugX and BadIIS for search engine optimization (SEO) rank manipulation.

It takes more than technical knowledge to write about cybersecurity in a way people want to read. It takes creativity, discipline, and other key skills.

A deserialization vulnerability in Thinkphp v6.1.3 to v8.0.4 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code.

A vulnerability was found in Keycloak. Expired OTP codes are still usable when using FreeOTP when the OTP token period is set to 30 seconds (default). Instead of expiring and deemed unusable around 30 seconds in, the tokens are valid for an additional 30 seconds totaling 1 minute. A one time passcode that is valid longer than its expiration time increases the attack window for malicious actors to abuse the system and compromise accounts. Additionally, it increases the attack surface because at any given time, two OTPs are valid.

A session fixation issue was discovered in the SAML adapters provided by Keycloak. The session ID and JSESSIONID cookie are not changed at login time, even when `the turnOffChangeSessionIdOnLogin` option is configured. This flaw allows an attacker who hijacks the current session before authentication to trigger session fixation.

An open redirect vulnerability was found in Keycloak. A specially crafted URL can be constructed where the `referrer` and `referrer_uri` parameters are made to trick a user to visit a malicious webpage. A trusted URL can trick users and automation into believing that the URL is safe, when, in fact, it redirects to a malicious server. This issue can result in a victim inadvertently trusting the destination of the redirect, potentially leading to a successful phishing attack or other types of attacks. Once a crafted URL is made, it can be sent to a Keycloak admin via email for example. This will trigger this vulnerability when the user visits the page and clicks the link. A malicious actor can use this to target users they know are Keycloak admins for further attacks. It may also be possible to bypass other domain-related security checks, such as supplying this as a OAuth redirect uri. The malicious actor can further obfuscate the `redirect_uri` using URL encoding, to hide the text of t...
