Example DAG: example_inlet_event_extra.py shipped with Apache Airflow version 2.10.0 has a vulnerability that allows an authenticated attacker with only DAG trigger permission to execute arbitrary commands. If you used that example as the base of your DAGs - please review if you have not copied the dangerous example; see https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/41873  for more information. We recommend against exposing the example DAGs in your deployment. If you must expose the example DAGs, upgrade Airflow to version 2.10.1 or later.

Apache Airflow versions before 2.10.1 have a vulnerability that allows DAG authors to add local settings to the DAG folder and get it executed by the scheduler, where the scheduler is not supposed to execute code submitted by the DAG author. Users are advised to upgrade to version 2.10.1 or later, which has fixed the vulnerability.

Threat actors affiliated with North Korea have been observed leveraging LinkedIn as a way to target developers as part of a fake job recruiting operation. These attacks employ coding tests as a common initial infection vector, Google-owned Mandiant said in a new report about threats faced by the Web3 sector. "After an initial chat conversation, the attacker sent a ZIP file that contained

Two men have been indicted in the U.S. for their alleged involvement in managing a dark web marketplace called WWH Club that specializes in the sale of sensitive personal and financial information. Alex Khodyrev, a 35-year-old Kazakhstan national, and Pavel Kublitskii, a 37-year-old Russian national, have been charged with conspiracy to commit access device fraud and conspiracy to commit wire

### Impact Users running the Synthetic Monitoring agent in their local network are impacted. The authentication token used to communicate with the Synthetic Monitoring API is exposed thru a debugging endpoint. This token can be used to retrieve the Synthetic Monitoring checks created by the user and assigned to the agent identified with that token. The Synthetic Monitoring API will reject connections from already-connected agents, so access to the token does not guarantee access to the checks. ### Patches Fixed version is v0.12.0 Users are advised to rotate the agent tokens. After upgrading to version v0.12.0 or later, it's recommended that user's of distribution packages (e.g. Debian or RedHat and their derivatives) review the configuration stored in `/etc/synthetic-monitoring/synthetic-monitoring-agent.conf`, specifically the `API_TOKEN` variable which has been renamed to `SM_AGENT_API_TOKEN`. ### Workarounds With all previous versions, it's recommended that users review the a...

### Impact In distributed service mode, Pomerium's Authenticate service exposes pprof debug and prometheus metrics handlers to untrusted traffic. This can leak potentially sensitive environmental information or lead to limited denial of service conditions. ### Patches v0.17.1 ### Workarounds Block access to `/debug` and `/metrics` paths on the authenticate service. This can be done with any L7 proxy, including Pomerium's own proxy service. ### References https://github.com/pomerium/pomerium/pull/3212 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [Pomerium](https://github.com/pomerium/pomerium) * Email us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

### Summary `gix-path` runs `git` to find the path of a configuration file associated with the `git` installation, but improperly resolves paths containing unusual or non-ASCII characters, in rare cases enabling a local attacker to inject configuration leading to code execution. ### Details In `gix_path::env`, the underlying implementation of the `installation_config` and `installation_config_prefix` functions calls `git config -l --show-origin` to find the path of a file to treat as belonging to the `git` installation. Affected versions of `gix-path` do not pass `-z`/`--null` to cause `git` to report literal paths (650a1b5cf25e086197cc55a68525a411e1c28031). Instead, to cover the occasional case that `git` outputs a quoted path, they attempt to parse the path by stripping the quotation marks: https://github.com/Byron/gitoxide/blob/1cfe577d461293879e91538dbc4bbfe01722e1e8/gix-path/src/env/git/mod.rs#L138-L142 The problem is that, when a path is quoted, it may change in substantial...

### Description The summary is that the proof of knowledge associated to a commitment is crucial to bind the commitment to the actual circuit variables that were supposed to be committed. However, the same σ is used for all proofs of knowledge for the commitments, which allows mixing between them, making it possible to fix the value of all but one commitment before choosing the circuit variable assignments. In more detail: To simplify notation, let us consider the case of two commitments, each to only a single variable. Let's say the basis elements for those commitments are `K_0` and `K_1`. Then the proving key will contain `K_0` and `K_1`, and also `σ*K_0` and `σ*K_1` for the proof of knowledge. The honest prover assigning a to the first circuit variable and b to the second will then produce commitments `D_0 = a*K_0` `D_1 = b*K_1` Out of the two D's, a challenge r for the commitment folding will be generated. The folded commitment will then be `D_folded = D_0 + r*D_1 = a*K_0 + r*b*K...

### Impact The vulnerability depends on user interaction by opening a malicious notebook with Markdown cells, or Markdown file using JupyterLab preview feature. A malicious user can access any data accessible from JupyterLite and perform arbitrary actions in JupyterLite environment. ### Patches JupyterLite 0.4.1 was patched. ### Workarounds There is no workaround for the underlying DOM Clobbering susceptibility. However, select plugins can be disabled on deployments which cannot update in a timely fashion to minimise the risk. These are: - `@jupyterlab/mathjax-extension:plugin` - users will loose ability to preview mathematical equations - `@jupyterlab/markdownviewer-extension:plugin` - users will loose ability to open Markdown previews - `@jupyterlab/mathjax2-extension:plugin` (if installed with optional `jupyterlab-mathjax2` package) - an older version of the mathjax plugin for JupyterLab 4.x To disable these extensions populate the `disabledExtensions` key in `jupyter-config...
