GitHub will address weak authentication and overly permissive tokens in the NPM ecosystem, following high-profile threat campaigns like those involving Shai-Hulud malware.

The for-hire platform leverages legitimate cloud-native tools to make detection and disruption harder for defenders and SOC analysts.

Cybersecurity leader Jason Manar shares insights on diverse career paths, essential skills, and practical advice for entering and thriving in the high-stress yet rewarding field of cybersecurity.

Dark Reading Confidential Episode 10: It’s past time for a comprehensive plan to protect vital US systems from nation-state cyberattacks, and increasingly, that responsibility is falling to asset owners across a vast swath of organizations, who likely never bargained for an international cyber conflict playing out in their environments. But here we are. And here's what comes next, according to Frank Cilluffo from the McCrary Institute and Booz Allen's Dave Forbes.

A content spoofing vulnerability exists in multiple WSO2 products due to improper error message handling. Under certain conditions, error messages are passed through URL parameters without validation, allowing malicious actors to inject arbitrary content into the UI. By exploiting this vulnerability, attackers can manipulate browser-displayed error messages, enabling social engineering attacks through deceptive or misleading content.

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Admin Log Viewer of S-Cart <=10.0.3 allows a remote authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted User-Agent header. The script is executed in an administrator's browser when they view the security log page, which could lead to session hijacking or other malicious actions.

The agency says it found a network of some 300 servers and 100,000 SIM cards—enough to knock out cell service in the NYC area. Experts say it mirrors facilities typically used for cybercrime.

Talos discovered that a new PlugX variant’s features overlap with both the RainyDay and Turian backdoors

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of two security vulnerabilities impacting Supermicro Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) firmware that could potentially allow attackers to bypass crucial verification steps and update the system with a specially crafted image. The medium-severity vulnerabilities, both of which stem from improper verification of a cryptographic signature, are

### Impact In versions 0.5.3 and earlier of astral-tokio-tar, tar archives may extract outside of their intended destination directory when using the `Entry::unpack_in_raw` API. Additionally, the `Entry::allow_external_symlinks` control (which defaults to `true`) could be bypassed via a pair of symlinks that individually point within the destination but combine to point outside of it. These behaviors could be used individually or combined to bypass the intended security control of limiting extraction to the given directory. This in turn would allow an attacker with a malicious tar archive to perform an arbitrary file write and potentially pivot into code execution (e.g. by overwriting a file that the user or system then executes or uses to execute code). The impact of this vulnerability for downstream API users of this crate is **high**, per above. However, for this crate's main downstream user (uv), the impact of this vulnerability is **low** due to its overlap with equivalent use...
