It was discovered that Kibana was not sanitizing document fields containing HTML snippets. Using this vulnerability, an attacker with the ability to write documents to an elasticsearch index could inject HTML. When the Discover app highlighted a search term containing the HTML, it would be rendered for the user.
cgi.rb in Ruby through 2.6.x, through 3.0x, and through 3.1.x allows HTTP header injection. If a CGI application using the CGI library inserts untrusted input into the HTTP response header, an attacker can exploit it to insert a newline character to split a header, and inject malicious content to deceive clients.
The SEPPmail solution is vulnerable to a Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability (XSS), because user input is not correctly encoded in HTML attributes when returned by the server.SEPPmail 11.1.10 allows XSS via a recipient address.
An open redirect flaw was found in Kibana versions before 7.13.0 and 6.8.16. If a logged in user visits a maliciously crafted URL, it could result in Kibana redirecting the user to an arbitrary website.

Researchers have new evidence of how squid brains develop:
Researchers from the FAS Center for Systems Biology describe how they used a new live-imaging technique to watch neurons being created in the embryo in almost real-time. They were then able to track those cells through the development of the nervous system in the retina. What they saw surprised them.
The neural stem cells they tracked behaved eerily similar to the way these cells behave in vertebrates during the development of their nervous system.
It suggests that vertebrates and cephalopods, despite diverging from each other 500 million years ago, not only are using similar mechanisms to make their big brains but that this process and the way the cells act, divide, and are shaped may essentially layout the blueprint required develop this kind of nervous system.
As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven’t covered.

Forty-seven percent of consumers have stopped doing business with a company after losing trust in that company’s digital security, according to new research from certificate authority and cybersecurity vendor DigiCert.
The findings, which have been compiled in the company’s 2022 State of Digital Trust Survey, also revealed that 84% of customers would consider switching if they were to lose trust in a company, with 57% saying switching would be likely. The survey was administered as a phone and email survey to 400 enterprises and 400 consumers around the world.
