A vulnerability has been discovered in Google Chrome, which could allow for arbitrary code execution. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the logged on user. Depending on the privileges associated with the user an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.

There’s a new report on how criminals are using generative AI tools:
Key Takeaways:
Adoption rates of AI technologies among criminals lag behind the rates of their industry counterparts because of the evolving nature of cybercrime.
Compared to last year, criminals seem to have abandoned any attempt at training real criminal large language models (LLMs). Instead, they are jailbreaking existing ones.
We are finally seeing the emergence of actual criminal deepfake services, with some bypassing user verification used in financial services.
Le Dinh Hai discovered that Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX did not properly manage
memory during cell merge operations. An attacker could possibly use this
issue to consume large amounts of memory, resulting in a denial of service
condition. (CVE-2024-22368)
An Pham discovered that Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX allowed the processing of
external entities in a default configuration. An attacker could possibly
use this vulnerability to execute an XML External Entity (XXE) injection
attack. (CVE-2024-23525)
