The sudden rise of DeepSeek has raised questions of data origin, data destination, and the security of the new AI model.

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.

Amateurish financial scams are common across Africa, and Namibia's influential former first lady, Monica Geingos, has emerged as a particularly effective host body for these messages.

## 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 ...

In this case, the "fast_float2::common::AsciiStr::first" method within the "AsciiStr" struct uses the unsafe keyword to reading from memory without performing bounds checking. Specifically, it directly dereferences a pointer offset by "self.ptr". Because of the above reason, the method accesses invalid memory address when it takes an empty string as its input. This approach violates Rust’s memory safety guarantees, as it can lead to invalid memory access if empty buffer is provided.

While Microsoft has boosted the security of Windows Print Spooler in the three years since the disclosure of the PrintNightmare vulnerability, the service remains a spooky threat that organizations cannot afford to ignore.

The threat actor is using a sophisticated network of VPNs and proxies to centrally manage command-and-control servers from Pyongyang.

### Issue Snowflake discovered and remediated a vulnerability in the Snowflake Connector for Python. A function from the snowflake.connector.pandas_tools module is vulnerable to SQL injection. This vulnerability affects versions 2.2.5 through 3.13.0. Snowflake fixed the issue in version 3.13.1. ### Vulnerability Details A function from the snowflake.connector.pandas_tools module is not sanitizing all of its arguments, and queries using them are not parametrized. An attacker controlling these arguments could achieve SQL injection by passing crafted input. Any SQL executed that way by an attacker would still run in the context of the current session. ### Solution Snowflake released version 3.13.1 of the Snowflake Connector for Python, which fixes this issue. We recommend users upgrade to version 3.13.1. ### Additional Information If you discover a security vulnerability in one of our products or websites, please report the issue to HackerOne. For more information, please see our [Vul...

### Issue Snowflake discovered and remediated a vulnerability in the Snowflake Connector for Python. The OCSP response cache uses pickle as the serialization format, potentially leading to local privilege escalation. This vulnerability affects versions 2.7.12 through 3.13.0. Snowflake fixed the issue in version 3.13.1. ### Vulnerability Details The OCSP response cache is saved locally on the machine running the Connector using the pickle serialization format. This can potentially lead to local privilege escalation if an attacker has write access to the OCSP response cache file. ### Solution Snowflake released version 3.13.1 of the Snowflake Connector for Python, which fixes this issue. We recommend users upgrade to version 3.13.1. ### Additional Information If you discover a security vulnerability in one of our products or websites, please report the issue to HackerOne.
