OT and ICS systems indeed hold the crown jewels of critical infrastructure organizations, but unmonitored data sprawl is proving to be pure gold for increasingly brazen nation-state threat actors like Volt Typhoon, Pearce argues.

### Summary When using **filter** authorization, two edge cases could cause the policy compiler/authorizer to generate a permissive filter: 1. **Bypass policies whose condition can never pass at runtime** were compiled as `OR(AND(condition, compiled_policies), NOT(condition))`. If the condition could never be true at runtime, the `NOT(condition)` branch evaluated truthy and the overall expression became permissive. 2. **Runtime policy scenarios that reduce to “no checks are applicable”** (an empty SAT scenario) were treated as an empty clause and dropped instead of being treated as **`false`**, which could again produce an overly broad (permissive) filter. These bugs could allow reads to return records that should have been excluded by policy. ### Impact Projects that rely on **filter-based authorization** and define: * `bypass ... do ... end` blocks whose condition(s) are only resolvable at runtime and can never pass in a given request context, **or** * runtime checks tha...

With artificial intelligence supplanting entry-level security jobs, new cyber professionals will have to up their game to stay competitive in the industry.

Every week, the cyber world reminds us that silence doesn’t mean safety. Attacks often begin quietly — one unpatched flaw, one overlooked credential, one backup left unencrypted. By the time alarms sound, the damage is done. This week’s edition looks at how attackers are changing the game — linking different flaws, working together across borders, and even turning trusted tools into weapons.

Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in attribute table in QGIS QWC2 < 2025.08.14 allows an authorized attacker to plant arbitrary JavaScript code in the page.

Think your WAF has you covered? Think again. This holiday season, unmonitored JavaScript is a critical oversight allowing attackers to steal payment data while your WAF and intrusion detection systems see nothing. With the 2025 shopping season weeks away, visibility gaps must close now. Get the complete Holiday Season Security Playbook here. Bottom Line Up Front The 2024 holiday season saw major

Cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler discovered nearly 180,000 files, including PII and banking details, left exposed on an unprotected database linked to the Invoicely platform. Read about the identity theft and financial fraud risks for over 250,000 businesses worldwide.

Malware campaigns distributing the RondoDox botnet have expanded their targeting focus to exploit more than 50 vulnerabilities across over 30 vendors. The activity, described as akin to an "exploit shotgun" approach, has singled out a wide range of internet-exposed infrastructure, including routers, digital video recorders (DVRs), network video recorders (NVRs), CCTV systems, web servers, and

Microsoft said it has revamped the Internet Explorer (IE) mode in its Edge browser after receiving "credible reports" in August 2025 that unknown threat actors were abusing the backward compatibility feature to gain unauthorized access to users' devices. "Threat actors were leveraging basic social engineering techniques alongside unpatched (0-day) exploits in Internet Explorer's JavaScript
