Now is the time to build safeguards into nascent AI technology.

Vulnerabilities in electric vehicle charging stations and a lack of broad standards threaten drivers—and the power grid.

A CWE-552 "Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties” in the web interface of the Tyan S5552 BMC version 3.00 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to retrieve the private key of the TLS certificate in use by the BMC via forced browsing. This can then be abused to perform Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks against victims that access the web interface through HTTPS.

A vulnerability was found in quarkus-core. This vulnerability occurs because the TLS protocol configured with quarkus.http.ssl.protocols is not enforced, and the client can force the selection of the weaker supported TLS protocol.

The Tutor LMS WordPress plugin before 2.2.1 does not implement adequate permission checks for REST API endpoints, allowing unauthenticated attackers to access information from Lessons that should not be publicly available.

No less than 330000 FortiGate firewalls are still unpatched and vulnerable to CVE-2023-27997, a critical security flaw affecting Fortinet devices that have come under active exploitation in the wild. Cybersecurity firm Bishop Fox, in a report published last week, said that out of nearly 490,000 Fortinet SSL-VPN interfaces exposed on the internet, about 69 percent remain unpatched. CVE-2023-27997

Buffer Overflow vulnerability in mtrojnar osslsigncode v.2.3 and before allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .exe, .sys, and .dll files.

Some 340,000 FortiGate SSL VPN appliances remain exposed to the threat more than three weeks after Fortinet released firmware updates to address the issue.

The WordPress Photo Gallery – Image Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.0.6. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the load_images_thumbnail() and edit_gallery() functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to edit galleries via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Node.js 20 that allowed loading arbitrary OpenSSL engines when the experimental permission model is enabled, which can bypass and/or disable the permission model. The attack complexity is high. However, the crypto.setEngine() API can be used to bypass the permission model when called with a compatible OpenSSL engine. The OpenSSL engine can, for example, disable the permission model in the host process by manipulating the process's stack memory to locate the permission model Permission::enabled_ in the host process's heap memory. Please note that at the time this CVE was issued, the permission model is an experimental feature of Node.js.
