Scattered Spider Behind Cyberattacks on M&S and Co-op, Causing Up to $592M in Damages

The April 2025 cyber attacks targeting U.K. retailers Marks & Spencer and Co-op have been classified as a "single combined cyber event." That's according to an assessment from the Cyber Monitoring Centre (CMC), a U.K.-based independent, non-profit body set up by the insurance industry to categorize major cyber events. "Given that one threat actor claimed responsibility for both M&S and

GHSA-6qhv-4h7r-2g9m: rfc3161-client has insufficient verification for timestamp response signatures

### Impact `rfc3161-client` 1.0.2 and earlier contain a flaw in their timestamp response signature verification logic. In particular, it performs chain verification against the TSR's embedded certificates up to the trusted root(s), but fails to verify the TSR's own signature against the timestamping leaf certificates. Consequently, vulnerable versions perform insufficient signature validation to properly consider a TSR verified, as the attacker can introduce _any_ TSR signature so long as the embedded leaf chains up to some root TSA. ### Patches Users should immediately upgrade to `rfc3161-client` 1.0.3 or later. ### Workarounds There is no workaround possible. Users should immediately upgrade to a fixed version.

GHSA-g3qg-6746-3mg9: zkVM Underconstrained Vulnerability

Due to a missing constraint in the rv32im circuit, any 3-register RISC-V instruction (including remu and divu) in risc0-zkvm 2.0.0, 2.0.1, and 2.0.2 are vulnerable to an attack by a malicious prover. The main idea for the attack is to confuse the RISC-V virtual machine into treating the value of the rs1 register as the same as the rs2 register due to a lack of constraints in the rv32im circuit. This vulnerability was reported by Christoph Hochrainer via our Hackenproof bug bounty. The fix for the circuit was implemented in [zirgen/pull/238](https://github.com/risc0/zirgen/pull/238), and the update to risc0 was implemented in [risc0/pull/3181](https://github.com/risc0/risc0/pull/3181). Impacted on-chain verifiers have already been disabled via the estop mechanism outlined in the [Verifier Management Design](https://github.com/risc0/risc0-ethereum/blob/release-2.0/contracts/version-management-design.md#base-verifier-implementations). ## Mitigation It is recommend all impacted users u...

GHSA-93c7-7xqw-w357: Pingora has a Request Smuggling Vulnerability

A request smuggling vulnerability identified within Pingora’s proxying framework, pingora-proxy, allows malicious HTTP requests to be injected via manipulated request bodies on cache HITs, leading to unauthorized request execution and potential cache poisoning. ### Fixed in https://github.com/cloudflare/pingora/commit/fda3317ec822678564d641e7cf1c9b77ee3759ff ### Impact The issue could lead to request smuggling in cases where Pingora’s proxying framework, pingora-proxy, is used for caching allowing an attacker to manipulate headers and URLs in subsequent requests made on the same HTTP/1.1 connection.

GHSA-vrw8-fxc6-2r93: chi Allows Host Header Injection which Leads to Open Redirect in RedirectSlashes

### Summary The RedirectSlashes function in middleware/strip.go is vulnerable to host header injection which leads to open redirect. ### Details The RedirectSlashes method uses the Host header to construct the redirectURL at this line https://github.com/go-chi/chi/blob/v5.2.1/middleware/strip.go#L55 The Host header can be manipulated by a user to be any arbitrary host. This leads to open redirect when using the RedirectSlashes middleware ### PoC Create a simple server which uses the RedirectSlashes middleware ``` package main import ( "fmt" "net/http" "github.com/go-chi/chi/v5" "github.com/go-chi/chi/v5/middleware" // Import the middleware package ) func main() { // Create a new Chi router r := chi.NewRouter() // Use the built-in RedirectSlashes middleware r.Use(middleware.RedirectSlashes) // Use middleware.RedirectSlashes // Define a route handler r.Get("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { // A simple response w.Write([]byte("Hello, World!")) }) ...

Qilin Ransomware Adds "Call Lawyer" Feature to Pressure Victims for Larger Ransoms
