A severe vulnerability has been discovered in the LiteSpeed Cache plugin for WordPress, affecting over five million websites. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2023-40000, allows unauthenticated attackers to gain escalated privileges via a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack with just one HTTP request. The problem arises from the plugin’s failure to adequately sanitize user input and escape output. Attackers can exploit the
As efficient and game-changing as DevOps has been, it brings with it the undeniable risk of security oversights. The rapid-fire nature of combined development and operational processes improves speed and agility but may inadvertently compromise thoroughness, particularly where security is concerned. The staples of the DevOps culture—collaboration, automation, and continuous delivery—can inadvertently leave the pipeline vulnerable to exploits if security
In the competitive realm of midrange graphics cards, AMD has strategically slashed the price of its Radeon RX 7700 XT to rival Nvidia’s RTX 4060 Ti. This calculated maneuver reflects AMD’s intent to strengthen its position in a hotly contested market by making its offering more financially attractive to consumers. By adjusting the price point, AMD aims not only to
In an assertive move to maintain its market presence in China, NVIDIA has unveiled two new AI chips tailored to comply with recent U.S. export restrictions. The semiconductor giant, known for its cutting-edge graphics processing units (GPUs), has historically enjoyed a strong foothold in the Chinese market. However, stringent U.S. regulations had previously led to a sales blockade, particularly affecting
The rapid advancement of AI and machine learning calls for cutting-edge hardware. Intel is keeping pace by enhancing the utility of its current technologies.
