⚠️ JFrog Security Research disclosed multiple CVEs in Chaos-Mesh, including three critical flaws that permit in-cluster attackers to execute arbitrary code on any pod. The Chaos Controller Manager exposes an unauthenticated ClusterIP GraphQL /query endpoint on port 10082 by default, enabling mutations such as killProcesses and cleanTcs. The critical issues (CVSS 9.8) arise from unsafe command construction in resolvers and an ExecBypass routine that allows OS command injection. Operators should upgrade to Chaos-Mesh 2.7.3 immediately; as a temporary mitigation redeploy the Helm chart with the control server disabled.

🔓 Two security researchers, Omo and Rowley, disclosed critical vulnerabilities in Securam Prologic electronic safe locks that can be abused to open many devices without specialized tools. One flaw exploits a legitimate locksmith unlock feature and, according to the researchers, can expose codes remotely or with trivial access. The pair delayed public disclosure after receiving legal threats from Securam and only proceeded after securing pro bono counsel from the EFF’s Coders’ Rights Project. Securam says it will update its locks by year’s end but will not patch units already sold.

⚠️ Schneider Electric disclosed a cross-site scripting flaw (CWE-79) affecting numerous Altivar drives, the ATVdPAC communication module, and the ILC992 InterLink Converter.
