[SECURITY] Fedora 44 Update: nmap-7.92-11.fc44

Nmap is a utility for network exploration or security auditing. It supports ping scanning determine which hosts are up, many port scanning techniques determine what services the hosts are offering, and TCP/IP fingerprinting remote host operating system identification. Nmap also offers flexible ta...

Browser Use allows bypassing `allowed_domains` by putting a decoy domain in http auth username portion of a URL

Summary During a manual source code review, ARIMLABS.AI researchers identified that the browseruse module includes an embedded whitelist functionality to restrict URLs that can be visited. This restriction is enforced during agent initialization. However, it was discovered that these measures can...

Numerical Security Analysis for Practical Quantum Key Distribution

Quantum key distribution QKD promises information-theoretic security based on quantum mechanics and idealized device models. Practical implementations, however, deviate from these models due to unavoidable device imperfections, and existing security proofs fall short of capturing the complexity o...

Security of Decoy-State Quantum Key Distribution with Correlated Bit-And-Basis Encoders

Practical quantum key distribution QKD modulators inevitably introduce correlations, causing the state emitted in a given round to depend on the setting choices made in previous rounds. These correlations break the round-by-round independence structure on which many widely used security proof...

Can You Keep a Secret? Involuntary Information Leakage in Language Model Writing

Language models are deployed in settings that require compartmentalization: system prompts should not be disclosed, chain-of-thought reasoning is hidden from users, and sensitive data passes through shared contexts. We test whether models can keep prompted information out of their writing. We giv...
