    Cisco SD-WAN Manager hit by zero-day admin access attack (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Cisco’s SD-WAN management software has been letting some attackers walk through an authentication check without having to prove who they are. The company says it has now fixed the flaw that was allowing it. The affected platform, Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, is used to configure and operate software-defined network deployments. Cisco said in an advisory that improper handling of URI encoding in HTTP requests enabled attackers to get around an authentication control meant to restrict access to

    Unsloth’s model picker had a code-execution problem (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    True to its name, AI-model-training tool Unsloth would do more work than it was asked to when developers checked out a model: It would also allow arbitrary code to execute on their machines. Pillar Security found that simply selecting a model in Unsloth Studio caused the application to download and execute Python code from the model repository. This could potentially allow attackers to use a specially crafted model to get malicious code executed on a developer’s system. “The code ran from nothin

    GitLab issue email’s only security is obscurity (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    It was meant to make life simpler: a secret email address to which developers can send a message and create an issue in their GitLab project. But poor security defaults and a long-lived token embedded in the address mean that anyone who knows the address can potentially modify protected repositories. If project owners publish or leak these addresses, as some have, then they become vulnerable. The project-scoped email address supplied by GitLab in the form of a button that says “Email work item t
