Finally got to publish the CVE for a "forever-day" path traversal in the .NET library DotNetZip affecting all releases since 2018. Enjoy, the PoC is in the patch! #CVE_2024_48510

https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-48510

I try to reconstruct the design process of PAN-OS web services:
- Let's require authentication on all interfaces, because security!
- ...but we need some stuff to be accessible pre-auth 🤔
- Let's define a skeleton key that can be passed to us by another parser that have 0 concept of what needs to be authenticated!

Am I missing something?

This week my brain is completely stuck on wanting an Alphasmart Neo. Half of my brain knows that buying tech to write a novel with is not actually the same as writing my novel. The other half of my brain... wants the tech. But also, just look at it, isn't it perfect?

CVE-2024-52316: Apache Tomcat: Authentication bypass when using Jakarta Authentication API

https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2024/q4/103

Sounds pretty esoteric, but I may be wrong:

"If Tomcat is configured to use a custom Jakarta Authentication (formerly JASPIC) ServerAuthContext component which may throw an exception during the authentication process without explicitly setting an HTTP status to indicate failure, the authentication may not fail"

I know it seems like all of the good ideas for plugins are already implemented in our large plugin collection (https://github.com/Vector35/community-plugins) , but we also maintain a public list of ideas to get you started if you're interested in contributing:

I haven't had as much time to work on it as I'd like, but I've pushed an update to the Emerald Source Code Commentary because I intend to use it as a demonstration of my technical writing.
