Can JavaScript Escape a CSP Meta Tag Inside an Iframe?
Can JavaScript Escape a CSP Meta Tag Inside an Iframe?
Research: Can JavaScript Escape a CSP Meta Tag Inside an Iframe? In trying to build my own version of Claude Artifacts I got curious about options for applying CSP headers to content in sandboxed iframes without using a separate domain to host the files. Turns out you can inject <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy"...> tags at the top of the iframe content and they'll be obeyed even if subsequent untrusted JavaScript tries to manipulate them. Tags: iframes, security, javascript,…

The Axios supply chain attack used individually targeted social engineering
The Axios supply chain attack used individually targeted social engineering
The Axios team have published a full postmortem on the supply chain attack which resulted in a malware dependency going out in a release the other day, and it involved a sophisticated social engineering campaign targeting one of their maintainers directly. Here's Jason Saayman'a description of how that worked: so the attack vector mimics what google has documented here: https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/unc1069-targets-cryptocurrency-ai-social-engineering they tailored…

Gemma 4: Byte for byte, the most capable open models
Gemma 4: Byte for byte, the most capable open models Four new vision-capable Apache 2.0 licensed reasoning LLMs from Google DeepMind, sized at 2B, 4B, 31B, plus a 26B-A4B Mixture-of-Experts. Google emphasize "unprecedented level of intelligence-per-parameter", providing yet more evidence that creating small useful models is one of the hottest areas of research right now. They actually label the two smaller models as E2B and E4B for "Effective" parameter size. The system card explains: The…
