Improper Access Control vulnerability in Apache Commons. A special BeanIntrospector class was added in version 1.9.2. This can be used to stop attackers from using the declared class property of Java enum objects to get access to the classloader. However this protection was not enabled by default. PropertyUtilsBean (and consequently BeanUtilsBean) now disallows declared class level property access by default. Releases 1.11.0 and 2.0.0-M2 address a potential security issue when accessing enum properties in an uncontrolled way. If an application using Commons BeanUtils passes property paths from an external source directly to the getProperty() method of PropertyUtilsBean, an attacker can access the enum’s class loader via the “declaredClass” property available on all Java “enum” objects. Accessing the enum’s “declaredClass” allows remote attackers to access the ClassLoader and execute arbitrary code. The same issue exists with PropertyUtilsBean.getNestedProperty(). Starting in ve...

### Summary [Amazon Redshift Python Connector](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/python-redshift-driver.html) is a pure Python connector to Redshift (i.e., driver) that implements the [Python Database API Specification 2.0](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/). When the Amazon Redshift Python Connector is configured with the BrowserAzureOAuth2CredentialsProvider plugin, the driver skips the SSL certificate validation step for the Identity Provider. ### Impact An insecure connection could allow an actor to intercept the token exchange process and retrieve an access token. **Impacted versions:** >=2.0.872;<=2.1.6 ### Patches Upgrade Amazon Redshift Python Connector to version 2.1.7 and ensure any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes. ### Workarounds None ### References If you have any questions or comments about this advisory we ask that you contact AWS/Amazon Security via our vulnerability reporting page [1] or directly via em...

To understand Red Hat OpenShift's journey to quantum-safe cryptography, it helps to look at the current and planned post-quantum cryptography support in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). This is because OpenShift includes Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS), which provides several important cryptographic libraries. Bringing post-quantum cryptography to OpenShift is not a one-line configuration, of course. It's an architectural transition.There are three main areas of focus when considering post-quantum cryptography for OpenShift: RHCOS kernelsOpenShift Core userspaceGo versions used by the

In their article on post-quantum cryptography, Emily Fox and Simo Sorce explained how Red Hat is integrating post-quantum cryptography (PQC) into our products. PQC protects confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of communication and data against quantum computers, which will make attacks on existing classic cryptographic algorithms such as RSA and elliptic curves feasible. Cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) are not known to exist yet, but continued advances in research point to a future risk of successful attacks. While the migration to algorithms resistant against such

In the wake of Luigi Mangione’s alleged killing of a health care CEO with a partially 3D-printed pistol, we built the exact same weapon ourselves—and test-fired it.

Non-human identities—also known as machine or workload identities—are becoming increasingly critical as organizations adopt cloud-native ecosystems and advanced AI workflows. For workloads spanning multiple cloud platforms, adhering to zero trust principles becomes challenging as they cross identity domains. A unified identity framework provides consistency in automating identity issuance and enforcing access control policies across diverse environments. SPIFFE/SPIRE, an open source identity issuance framework, enables organizations to implement centralized, scalable identity management on
