IntroductionIn a previous article, I demonstrated how to configure the Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) feature included in the Identity Management (IdM) Dogtag Certificate Authority (CA). Specifically, I covered installation of IdM with random serial numbers, and how to enable the ACME service and expired certificate pruning. This article explains the management of ACME (currently a technology preview) with IdM and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) clients.Currently, mod_md is the only ACME client implementation completely supported and provided by Red Hat. For this article,

Germany's Federal Office of Information Security (BSI) has announced that it has disrupted a malware operation called BADBOX that came preloaded on at least 30,000 internet-connected devices sold across the country. In a statement published earlier this week, authorities said they severed the communications between the devices and their command-and-control (C2) servers by sinkholing the domains

Plus: The US indicts North Koreans in fake IT worker scheme, file-sharing firm Cleo warns customers to patch a vulnerability amid live attacks, and more.

Defenders running the Cleo managed file transfer are urged to be on the lookout for the Cleopatra backdoor and other indicators of an ongoing ransomware campaign, as patching details remain foggy, and no CVE has been issued.

Another day, another healthcare database misconfiguration exposing sensitive patient information.

Businesses deploying large language models and other GenAI systems have a growing collection of open source tools for testing AI security.

A new side-channel attack method is a computationally practical way to infer the structure of a convolutional neural network — meaning that cyberattackers or rival companies can plagiarize AI models and take their data for themselves.

Open to players of all skill levels, the "Snow-mageddon" cybersecurity competition takes place in the world of Santa, elves, and Christmas mayhem.

### Impact Users hosting D-Tale publicly can be vulnerable to remote code execution allowing attackers to run malicious code on the server. ### Patches Users should upgrade to version 3.16.1 where the `update-settings` endpoint blocks the ability for users to update the `enable_custom_filters` flag. You can find out more information on how to turn that flag on [here](https://github.com/man-group/dtale#custom-filter) ### Workarounds The only workaround for versions earlier than 3.16.1 is to only host D-Tale to trusted users. ### References See "Custom Filter" [documentation](https://github.com/man-group/dtale#custom-filter)

### Impact XML parsing performed by the UcumEssenceService is vulnerable to XML external entity injections. A processed XML file with a malicious DTD tag could produce XML containing data from the host system. This impacts use cases where ucum is being used to within a host where external clients can submit XML. ### Patches Release 1.0.9 of ucum fixes this vulnerability ### Workarounds Ensure that the source xml for instantiating UcumEssenceService is trusted. ### References * https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/611.html * https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/XML_External_Entity_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet.html#jaxp-documentbuilderfactory-saxparserfactory-and-dom4j
