AI Summary

A patch release focusing on bug fixes, including cloudcheck tag propagation issues and console output garbling, alongside improvements to WAF bypass performance and parallelization, plus a comprehensive update of dependencies.

Key Highlights

  • Fix cloudcheck tag propagation to URL children
  • Fix console output control characters that could garble terminals
  • WAF bypass improvements: lowered CIDR defaults and parallelized checks
  • Updated dependencies including cryptography, beautifulsoup4, and pytest

New Features

  • WAF bypass improvements (lowered neighbor_cidr default to /28, parallelized bypass checks)
  • Tooling updates (nuclei to 3.11.0, trufflehog to 3.95.9)

Full Release Notes

### Fixes

- Restore cloudcheck tag propagation to URL / OPEN_TCP_PORT children (#3309). `_minimize()` was wiping `_resolved_hosts` on parent events, starving `dnsresolve` when child events reached it. Cloud tags never made it past the DNS_NAME.
- Fix `virtualhost.finish()` crash when the baseline request returned `None` (#3273).
- Escape control characters in console output so raw bytes in scan data can't garble the terminal (#3274, closes #3258).
- Fix stale `baddns` config key in the `kitchen-sink` preset; adds a test that validates every bundled preset (#3280, closes #3279).
- Fix `openssl_dev_headers` dep check to actually require the header, so minimal images (e.g. `python:3.11-slim`) no longer skip installing `libssl-dev` (#3282, closes #3272).
- Point API-key docs to `secrets.yml` in the sections that still mentioned `bbot.yml` (#3283, closes #3270).

### waf_bypass improvements

- Lower `neighbor_cidr` default from /24 to /28 (module + `waf-bypass` preset).
- Parallelize bypass checks in `finish()` up to 100 by default.
- Distinguish direct vs neighbor bypass candidates in log output.
- Demote non-IP DNS result log from warning to verbose.

### Tooling updates

- Update `nuclei` to 3.11.0 (#3275).
- Update `trufflehog` to 3.95.9 (#3276, #3295).
