### Summary A security vulnerability has been identified in GitHub CLI that could allow remote code execution (RCE) when users connect to a malicious Codespace SSH server and use the `gh codespace ssh` or `gh codespace logs` commands. ### Details The vulnerability stems from the way GitHub CLI handles SSH connection details when executing commands. When developers connect to remote Codespaces, they typically use a SSH server running within a devcontainer, often provided through the [default devcontainer image](https://docs.github.com/en/codespaces/setting-up-your-project-for-codespaces/adding-a-dev-container-configuration/introduction-to-dev-containers#using-the-default-dev-container-configuration). GitHub CLI [retrieves SSH connection details](https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/30066b0042d0c5928d959e288144300cb28196c9/internal/codespaces/rpc/invoker.go#L230-L244), such as remote username, which is used in [executing `ssh` commands](https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/e356c69a6f0125cfaac7...

### Summary There is a vulnerability in `Joplin-desktop` that leads to remote code execution (RCE) when a user clicks on an `<a>` link within untrusted notes. The issue arises due to insufficient sanitization of `<a>` tag attributes introduced by the `Mermaid`. This vulnerability allows the execution of untrusted HTML content within the Electron window, which has full access to Node.js APIs, enabling arbitrary shell command execution. ### Details In the markdown preview iframe, `Joplin` only opens `<a>` links internally within the same Electron window if they contain the `data-from-md` attribute. While Joplin successfully sanitizes the `data-from-md` attribute in user-embedded `<a>` links from the `.md` file to prevent the execution of untrusted HTML content, it fails to sanitize the `data-from-md` attributes of `<a>` tags introduced by `Mermaid` (e.g., the code snippet shown below). Since `Mermaid` allows the rendering of certain scriptless HTML elements, an attacker can embed `<a>...

Multiple threat actors have been found taking advantage of an attack technique called Sitting Ducks to hijack legitimate domains for using them in phishing attacks and investment fraud schemes for years. The findings come from Infoblox, which said it identified nearly 800,000 vulnerable registered domains over the past three months, of which approximately 9% (70,000) have been subsequently

Cloud service providers are getting better at protecting data, pushing adversaries to develop new cloud ransomware scripts to target PHP applications, a new report says.

### Impact s2n-tls uses the Linux atexit function to register functions that clean up the global state when the process exits. In multi-threaded environments, the atexit handler may clean up state which is still in use by other threads. When this occurs, the exiting process may experience a segmentation fault or other undefined behavior. Customers of AWS services do not need to take action. Applications using s2n-tls should upgrade to the most recent release of s2n-tls. **Impacted versions**: < v1.5.9. ### Patches The patch commit [493b771](https://github.com/aws/s2n-tls/commit/493b77167dc367c394de23cfe78a029298e2a254) is included in s2n-tls v1.5.9 [1] ### Workarounds The atexit handler may be disabled by calling `s2n_disable_atexit()` prior to initializing s2n-tls. The atexit handler is off by default in the patched versions. For further details, refer to [s2n-tls Usage Guide: Initialization and Teardown](https://github.com/aws/s2n-tls/blob/main/docs/usage-guide/topics/ch02-initi...

Google has revealed that bad actors are leveraging techniques like landing page cloaking to conduct scams by impersonating legitimate sites. "Cloaking is specifically designed to prevent moderation systems and teams from reviewing policy-violating content which enables them to deploy the scam directly to users," Laurie Richardson, VP and Head of Trust and Safety at Google, said. "The landing
