### Summary The [AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK)](https://aws.amazon.com/cdk/) is an open-source software development framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code and provisioning it through AWS CloudFormation. In the CDK, developers organize their applications into reusable components called "[constructs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/v2/guide/constructs.html)," which are organized into a hierarchical tree structure. One of the features of this framework is the ability to call "[Aspects](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/v2/guide/aspects.html)," which are mechanisms to set configuration options for all AWS Resources in a particular part of the hierarchy at once. Aspect execution happens in a specific order, and the last Aspect to execute controls the final values in the template. AWS CDK version [2.172.0](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/releases/tag/v2.172.0) introduced a new priority system for Aspects. Prior to this version, CDK would run Aspects based on hierarchical lo...

### Summary When creating a new component from an existing component that has a source code repository URL specified in settings, this URL is included in the client's URL parameters during the creation process. If, for example, the source code repository URL contains GitHub credentials, the confidential PAT and username are shown in plaintext and get saved into browser history. Moreover, if the request URL is logged, the credentials are written to the logs in plaintext. The problematic URL in question is of this form: ``` https://<HOST>/create/component/vcs/?repo=https%3A%2F%2F<GITHUB USERNAME>%3A<GITHUB PAT>%40github.com%2F<REPOSITORY OWNER>%2F<REPOSITORY NAME>.git&project=1&category=&name=<REDACTED>&slug=<REDACTED>&is_glossary=False&vcs=github&source_language=228&license=&source_component=1#existing ``` If using Weblate official Docker image, nginx logs the URL and the token in plaintext: ``` nginx stdout | 127.0.0.1 - - [04/Apr/2025:10:46:54 +0000] "GET /create/component/vcs/?r...

### Summary The Dpanel service contains a hardcoded JWT secret in its default configuration, allowing attackers to generate valid JWT tokens and compromise the host machine. ### Details The Dpanel service, when initiated using its default configuration, includes a hardcoded JWT secret embedded directly within its source code. This security flaw allows attackers to analyze the source code, discover the embedded secret, and craft legitimate JWT tokens. By forging these tokens, an attacker can successfully bypass authentication mechanisms, impersonate privileged users, and gain unauthorized administrative access. Consequently, this enables full control over the host machine, potentially leading to severe consequences such as sensitive data exposure, unauthorized command execution, privilege escalation, or further lateral movement within the network environment. It is recommended to replace the hardcoded secret with a securely generated value and load it from secure configuration storage ...

The China-linked threat actor known as UNC5174 has been attributed to a new campaign that leverages a variant of a known malware dubbed SNOWLIGHT and a new open-source tool called VShell to infect Linux systems. "Threat actors are increasingly using open source tools in their arsenals for cost-effectiveness and obfuscation to save money and, in this case, plausibly blend in with the pool of

True security isn't about meeting deadlines — it's about mitigating risk in a way that aligns with business objectives while protecting against real-world threats.

Sysdig researchers detailed an ongoing campaign from China-backed threat actor UNC5174, which is using open source hacking tools to stay under the radar.

A critical security vulnerability has been disclosed in the Apache Roller open-source, Java-based blogging server software that could allow malicious actors to retain unauthorized access even after a password change. The flaw, assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2025-24859, carries a CVSS score of 10.0, indicating maximum severity. It affects all versions of Roller up to and including 6.1.4.
