VSCode when opening a Jupyter notebook (.ipynb) file bypasses the trust model. On versions v1.4.0 through v1.71.1, its possible for the Jupyter notebook to embed HTML and javascript, which can then open new terminal windows within VSCode. Each of these new windows can then execute arbitrary code at startup. During testing, the first open of the Jupyter notebook resulted in pop-ups displaying errors of unable to find the payload exe file. The second attempt at opening the Jupyter notebook would result in successful execution. Successfully tested against VSCode 1.70.2 on Windows 10.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6827-1 - It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled memory when performing certain cropping operations, leading to a heap buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.

Canada's and UK privacy authorities are going to investigate the data breach at 23andMe to assess what the company could have done better.

Digital sharing is the norm in romantic relationships. But some access could leave partners vulnerable to inconvenience, spying, and abuse.

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R) and privileges required  is low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An authorized attacker must send the user a malicious file and convince the user to open it.

**Why is the MITRE Corporation the assigning CNA (CVE Numbering Authority)?** CVE-2023-50868 is regarding a vulnerability in DNSSEC validation where an attacker could exploit standard DNSSEC protocols intended for DNS integrity by using excessive resources on a resolver, causing a denial of service for legitimate users. MITRE created this CVE on their behalf. Please see CVE-2023-50868 for more information.

In the last few years, several Red Hat customers have asked how to add a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to the OpenShift ingress to protect all externally facing applications.A WAF is a Layer 7 capability that protects applications against some types of web-based attacks, including but not limited to Cross Site Request Forgery (CRSF), Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and SQL injection (for a more comprehensive list of all known web based attacks, see here).Unfortunately, OpenShift does not have these capabilities included within the default ingress router, and as a result, alternate solutions must

ANSSI, the National Cybersecurity Agency of France (Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d'information), provides a configuration guide for GNU/Linux systems. It's identified as ANSSI-BP-028 (formerly known as ANSSI DAT NT-028). Recently, ANSSI published an update of its ANSSI-BP-028 configuration recommendations. In this post, I review what has changed from version 1.2 to 2.0, and what it might mean for you as a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) user. Most importantly, I also illustrate how to verify compliance of your systems with this updated Security Content Automation Protocol (S

### Impact There are two separate code paths in which memory can be allocated per message in excess of the `grpc.max_receive_message_length` channel option: 1. If an incoming message has a size on the wire greater than the configured limit, the entire message is buffered before it is discarded. 2. If an incoming message has a size within the limit on the wire but decompresses to a size greater than the limit, the entire message is decompressed into memory, and on the server is not discarded. ### Patches This has been patched in versions 1.10.9, 1.9.15, and 1.8.22

## Summary It is possible to introduce user-controlled JavaScript code and trigger a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in some cases. ## Actions Taken - Updated the documentation to clarify that while `ghtml` escapes characters with special meaning in HTML, it does not provide comprehensive protection against all types of XSS attacks in every scenario. **_This aligns with the approach taken by other template engines. Developers should be cautious and take additional measures to sanitize user input and prevent potential vulnerabilities._** More reading: https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Cross_Site_Scripting_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet.html - The backtick character (`) is now also escaped to prevent the creation of strings in most cases where a malicious actor somehow gains the ability to write JavaScript. This does not provide comprehensive protection either.
