Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-6013-03 - Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform release 4.15.30 is now available with updates to packages and images that fix several bugs and add enhancements.

Cisco has released security updates for two critical security flaws impacting its Smart Licensing Utility that could allow unauthenticated, remote attackers to elevate their privileges or access sensitive information. A brief description of the two vulnerabilities is below - CVE-2024-20439 (CVSS score: 9.8) - The presence of an undocumented static user credential for an administrative account

Deploying a Red Hat OpenShift Operator in an environment with internet access is typically straightforward. However, in industries like cyber security or the military sector, where security concerns often prohibit internet access, the process becomes more complex. In a disconnected or air-gapped environment, internet access is usually restricted or unavailable.In this article, I demonstrate the process of deploying an operator in a disconnected environment. I use the recent Red Hat OpenShift AI operator for this example, because the use of artificial intelligence is becoming crucial to many en

### Impact sigstore-go is susceptible to a denial of service attack when a verifier is provided a maliciously crafted Sigstore Bundle containing large amounts of verifiable data, in the form of signed transparency log entries, RFC 3161 timestamps, and attestation subjects. The verification of these data structures is computationally expensive. This can be used to consume excessive CPU resources, leading to a denial of service attack. TUF's security model labels this type of vulnerability an "Endless data attack," and can lead to verification failing to complete and disrupting services that rely on sigstore-go for verification. The vulnerable loops are in the verification functions in the package `github.com/sigstore/sigstore-go/pkg/verify`. The first is the DSSE envelope verification loop in `verifyEnvelopeWithArtifact`, which decodes all the digests in an attestation can be found here: https://github.com/sigstore/sigstore-go/blob/725e508ed4933e6f5b5206e32af4bbe76f587b54/pkg/verify/...

### Impact Auth DB login form default cache directives allows browser to locally store sensitive data. This can be an issue on environments using shared computer resources. ### Patches Upgrade flask-appbuilder to version 4.5.1 ### Workarounds If upgrading is not possible configure your web server to send the following HTTP headers for /login: "Cache-Control": "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0" "Pragma": "no-cache" "Expires": "0"

### Summary The Email Templating feature uses Jinja2 without proper input sanitization or rendering environment restrictions, allowing for Server-Side Template Injection that grants Remote Code Execution to privileged users. A privileged user refers to an Admin UI user with the default `Owner` or `Contributor` role, who can escalate their access and execute code on the underlying Fides Webserver container where the Jinja template rendering function is executed. ### Details The application enables the creation of message templates that are sent via email to Fides Privacy Center users (data subjects) who raise privacy requests such as data subject access requests or consent management requests via the Privacy Center. These emails are triggered at various points in the request processing flow, for example when a request is denied or approved. The messages are defined using Jinja2 templates, allowing the use of statement and expression directives to craft more complex messages that includ...

A timing-based username enumeration vulnerability has been identified in Fides Webserver authentication. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to determine the existence of valid usernames by analyzing the time it takes for the server to respond to login requests. The discrepancy in response times between valid and invalid usernames can be leveraged to enumerate users on the system. ### Impact This vulnerability enables a timing-based username enumeration attack. An attacker can systematically guess and verify which usernames are valid by measuring the server's response time to authentication requests. This information can be used to conduct further attacks on authentication such as password brute-forcing and credential stuffing. ### Patches The vulnerability has been patched in Fides version `2.44.0`. Users are advised to upgrade to this version or later to secure their systems against this threat. ### Workarounds There are no workarounds. ### Proof of Concept 1....

## Summary A vulnerability has been identified in Nuclei's template signature verification system that could allow an attacker to bypass the signature check and possibly execute malicious code via custom code template. ## Affected Component The vulnerability is present in the template signature verification process, specifically in the `signer` package. ## Description The vulnerability stems from a discrepancy between how the signature verification process and the YAML parser handle newline characters, combined with the way multiple signatures are processed. This allows an attacker to inject malicious content into a template while maintaining a valid signature for the benign part of the template. ### Affected Users 1. **CLI Users:** Those executing **custom code templates** from unverified sources. This includes templates authored by third parties or obtained from unverified repositories. 2. **SDK Users:** Developers integrating Nuclei into their platforms, particularly if they perm...

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
