The infamous cryptojacking group known as TeamTNT appears to be readying for a new large-scale campaign targeting cloud-native environments for mining cryptocurrencies and renting out breached servers to third-parties. "The group is currently targeting exposed Docker daemons to deploy Sliver malware, a cyber worm, and cryptominers, using compromised servers and Docker Hub as the infrastructure

### Impact A vulnerability has been identified within Rancher where a cluster or node driver can be used to escape the `chroot` jail and gain root access to the Rancher container itself. In production environments, further privilege escalation is possible based on living off the land within the Rancher container itself. For the test and development environments, based on a –privileged Docker container, it is possible to escape the Docker container and gain execution access on the host system. This happens because: - During startup, Rancher appends the `/opt/drivers/management-state/bin` directory to the `PATH` environment variable. - In Rancher, the binaries `/usr/bin/rancher-machine`, `/usr/bin/helm_v3`, and `/usr/bin/kustomize` are assigned a UID of 1001 and a GID of 127 instead of being owned by the root user. - Rancher employs a jail mechanism to isolate the execution of node drivers from the main process. However, the drivers are executed with excessive permissions. - During the...

Apple has publicly made available its Private Cloud Compute (PCC) Virtual Research Environment (VRE), allowing the research community to inspect and verify the privacy and security guarantees of its offering. PCC, which Apple unveiled earlier this June, has been marketed as the "most advanced security architecture ever deployed for cloud AI compute at scale." With the new technology, the idea is

With the planned release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10 in 2025, the PKCS #12 (Public-Key Cryptography Standards #12) files created in FIPS mode now use Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) cryptography by default. In other words, PKCS #12 files allow for backup or easy transfer of keying material between RHEL systems using FIPS approved algorithms.What are PKCS #12 files?PKCS #12 is currently defined by RFC 7292 and is a format for storing and transferring private keys, certificates, and miscellaneous secrets. Typically, PKCS #12 is used for transferring private RSA, EdDSA, o
