I am super excited to speak at Black Hat USA this year with Rob King (@lorddimwit) Our work, "Secure Shells in Shambles", dives deep into the Secure Shell protocol, its popular implementations, what's changed, what hasn't, and how this leads to unexpected vulnerabilities and novel attacks. An open source tool, dubbed "sshamble", will be demonstrated, which reproduces these attacks and opens the door for further research.

Huh. So the Gorilla project went into archive-only mode in 2022. The gorilla/sessions project opened an issue asking for a new maintainer, this issue was closed as "stale", and a final comment was added indicating that the project is archived: https://github.com/gorilla/sessions/issues/250

The Gorilla project website, however, states that as of July 2023, a new maintainer has been identified, and the gorilla/mux project is seeing recent commits, so hopefully the same maintainers are also managing gorilla/sessions. The gorilla/sessions CI automation is failing with a bad credential and it looks like the sessions project specifically hasn't seen much love lately. #golang #vulnerability

Looks like quite a few projects are using session.FilesystemStore: https://github.com/search?q=sessions.NewFilesystemStore+language%3Ago+&type=code
