DNS rebinding attacks explained: The lookup is coming from inside the house!

My colleague Kevin Stubbings mentioned the topic of DNS rebinding attacks in a previous blog post. No worries if you haven't read it yet though--in this article, we'll walk you through the concept of DNS rebinding from scratch, demystify how it works, and explore why it's a serious browser-based...

CVE-2024-54189

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Snapshot functionality of Parallels Desktop for Mac version 20.1.1 build 55740. When a snapshot of a virtual machine is taken, a root service writes to a file owned by a normal user. By using a hard link, an attacker can write to an arbitrary fil...
