The security community is still reflecting on the “What If” of the XZ backdoor.

As of January 10, 2023, CISA will no longer be updating ICS security advisories for Siemens product vulnerabilities beyond the initial advisory. For the most up-to-date information on vulnerabilities in this advisory, please see Siemens' ProductCERT Security Advisories (CERT Services | Services | Siemens Global).  View CSAF 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CVSS v4 8.2 ATTENTION: Exploitable remotely/low attack complexity Vendor: Siemens Equipment: RUGGEDCOM APE1808 Vulnerabilities: Cross-site Scripting, Improper Privilege Management, Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions, Truncation of Security-relevant Information, Insufficient Session Expiration 2. RISK EVALUATION Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow a malicious administrator to store a JavaScript payload using the web interface, revoke active XML API keys from the firewall and disrupt XML API usage, or cause a denial-of-service. 3. TECHNICAL DETAILS 3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS The following versions of Siemens R...

gradio-app/gradio is vulnerable to a local file inclusion vulnerability due to improper validation of user-supplied input in the UploadButton component. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files on the filesystem, such as private SSH keys, by manipulating the file path in the request to the `/queue/join` endpoint. This issue could potentially lead to remote code execution. The vulnerability is present in the handling of file upload paths, allowing attackers to redirect file uploads to unintended locations on the server.

As more electric vehicles are sold, the risk to compromised charging stations looms large alongside the potential for major cybersecurity exploits.

### Impact Note: "Pebble" here refers to [Canonical's service manager](https://github.com/canonical/pebble), not the [Let's Encrypt ACME test server](https://github.com/letsencrypt/pebble). The API behind `pebble pull`, used to read files from the workload container by Juju charms, allows access from any user, instead of just admin. In Juju Kubernetes sidecar charms, Pebble and the charm run as root, so they have full access. But if another restricted unix user gains local access to the container host, they could hit the Pebble `GET /v1/files?action=read` API and would be allowed to read any file in the workload container, for example an ssh key or database password or other sensitive information. If there are ssh keys they could then potentially ssh into the workload, or if something like a database password they could log into the database. Note that this requires local user access to the host machine. It seems unlikely that an attacker could gain this level of access in a Juju Ku...

An April 2023 study from Kent State University found that remote workers are more likely to be vigilant of security threats and take actions to ward them off than their in-office counterparts.

The thwarted XZ Utils supply chain attack was years in the making. Now, clues suggest nation-state hackers were behind the persona that inserted the malicious code.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-1601-03 - An update for curl is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. Issues addressed include an information leakage vulnerability.

Details are starting to emerge about a stunning supply chain attack that sent the open source software community reeling.
