UNIX systems (including Linux) are well-known to record a lot of activities in many different locations. But there is one domain where they definitely lack of "modern" logging: shells. Most shells provide an historization of the typed commands through a flat file in the $HOME directory (ex: $HOME/.bash_history). They suffer of multiple problems:
OverviewOn July 29, 2026, the Ruby on Rails project published a security advisory for CVE-2026-66066, an arbitrary file read in Active Storage applications that use the Vips image processor with untrusted uploads. The affected Active Storage ranges are < 7.2.3.2, >= 8.0, < 8.0.5.1, and >= 8.1, < 8.1.3.1. Vips is the default Active Storage variant processor for applications that load Rails 7.0 or later defaults. Rails 6 applications are affected only when they explicitly configure Vips.Our Emerg…

Written by: Kelli Vanderlee, Stuart Carrera For years, the cybersecurity industry's understanding of software supply chain compromise has been anchored by a few watershed events, including Russian cyber espionage actor ICE RELIC’s (formerly known as APT29) 2020 compromise of SolarWinds and North Korean cyber espionage actor UNC4736's 2023 compromise of 3CX. However, Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) has been tracking growth in threat activity targeting open source software repositories to…
If you use and install packages from npm or PyPI, the first hours after a package is published are the riskiest because scanners can’t analyze packages before publication. Recent supply chain events affecting NodeJS and Python packages have been detected and removed within hours. However, while those packages were available to the general public, it’s […]

Posted by Jeff Vander Stoep, Android Last year, we wrote about why a memory safety strategy that focuses on vulnerability prevention in new code quickly yields durable and compounding gains. This year we look at how this approach isn’t just fixing things, but helping us move faster. The 2025 data continues to validate the approach, with memory safety vulnerabilities falling below 20% of total vulnerabilities for the first time. Updated data for 2025. This data covers first-party and third-party…
One year from now, with the release of Chrome 154 in October 2026, we will change the default settings of Chrome to enable “Always Use Secure Connections”.
