### Impact The `Execute Command` node in n8n allows execution of arbitrary commands on the host system where n8n runs. While this functionality is intended for advanced automation and can be useful in certain workflows, it poses a security risk if all users with access to the n8n instance are not fully trusted. An attacker—either a malicious user or someone who has compromised a legitimate user account—could exploit this node to run arbitrary commands on the host machine, potentially leading to data exfiltration, service disruption, or full system compromise. This vulnerability affects all n8n deployments where: - The `Execute Command` node is enabled, and - Not all user accounts are strictly controlled and trusted. n8n.cloud is **not** impacted. ### Patches No code changes have been made to alter the behavior of the `Execute Command` node. The recommended mitigation is to disable the node by default in environments where it is not explicitly required. Future n8n versions may c...

### Summary The WriteFileTool in Flowise does not restrict the file path for reading, allowing authenticated attackers to exploit this vulnerability to write arbitrary files to any path in the file system, potentially leading to remote command execution. ### Details Flowise supports providing WriteFileTool for large models, which is used to write files to the server's file system. The implementation of this tool is located at packages/components/nodes/tools/WriteFile/WriteFile.ts. ``` /** * Class for writing data to files on the disk. Extends the StructuredTool * class. */ export class WriteFileTool extends StructuredTool { static lc_name() { return 'WriteFileTool' } schema = z.object({ file_path: z.string().describe('name of file'), text: z.string().describe('text to write to file') }) as any name = 'write_file' description = 'Write file from disk' store: BaseFileStore constructor({ store, ...rest }: WriteFileParams) ...

### Summary pyLoad web interface contained insufficient input validation in both the Captcha script endpoint and the Click'N'Load (CNL) Blueprint. This flaw allowed untrusted user input to be processed unsafely, which could be exploited by an attacker to inject arbitrary content into the web UI or manipulate request handling. The vulnerability could lead to client-side code execution (XSS) or other unintended behaviors when a malicious payload is submitted. user-supplied parameters from HTTP requests were not adequately validated or sanitized before being passed into the application logic and response generation. This allowed crafted input to alter the expected execution flow. CNL (Click'N'Load) blueprint exposed unsafe handling of untrusted parameters in HTTP requests. The application did not consistently enforce input validation or encoding, making it possible for an attacker to craft malicious requests. ### PoC 1. Run a vulnerable version of pyLoad prior to commit [`f9d27f2`](ht...

### Impact PyTorch reported a [**critical** vulnerability](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/security/advisories/GHSA-53q9-r3pm-6pq6) when using `torch.load`, even with option `weights_only=True`, for `torch <= 2.5.1`. In `scio <= 1.0.0`, the lower bound for `torch` is `2.3`. ### Patches The lower bound was changed to `torch >= 2.6`, starting from `scio >= 1.0.1` (currently in dev state). ### Workarounds You can manually check that you are using `torch >= 2.6`.

Transcription applications are joining your online meetings. Here's how to create policies for ensuring compliance and security of your information.

SonicWall on Wednesday disclosed that an unauthorized party accessed firewall configuration backup files for all customers who have used the cloud backup service. "The files contain encrypted credentials and configuration data; while encryption remains in place, possession of these files could increase the risk of targeted attacks," the company said. It also noted that it's working to notify all

Forcepoint X-Labs reports a surge in sophisticated email attacks using obfuscated JavaScript and steganography to deliver dangerous RATs and info-stealers like Formbook and Agent Tesla. Learn how to defend against the threat.

Cyber threats are evolving faster than ever. Attackers now combine social engineering, AI-driven manipulation, and cloud exploitation to breach targets once considered secure. From communication platforms to connected devices, every system that enhances convenience also expands the attack surface. This edition of ThreatsDay Bulletin explores these converging risks and the safeguards that help
