Cybersecurity researchers have discovered five new malicious Google Chrome web browser extensions that masquerade as human resources (HR) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms like Workday, NetSuite, and SuccessFactors to take control of victim accounts. "The extensions work in concert to steal authentication tokens, block incident response capabilities, and enable complete account

Researchers demonstrated WhisperPair, a set of attacks that can take control of many widely used Bluetooth earbuds and headphones without user interaction.

Mattermost versions 10.11.x <= 10.11.8, 11.1.x <= 11.1.1, 11.0.x <= 11.0.6 fail to prevent infinite re-renders on API errors which allows authenticated users to cause application-level DoS via triggering unbounded component re-render loops.

In Apache Airflow versions before 3.1.6, the proxies and proxy fields within a Connection may include proxy URLs containing embedded authentication information. These fields were not treated as sensitive by default and therefore were not automatically masked in log output. As a result, when such connections are rendered or printed to logs, proxy credentials embedded in these fields could be exposed. Users are recommended to upgrade to 3.1.6 or later, which fixes this issue

Dutch police arrest the alleged AVCheck operator at Schiphol as part of Operation Endgame, a global effort targeting malware services and cybercrime.

A fake ticket website that ended with a digital finger-wag showed just how many people still fall for concert and sports ticket scams.

Mattermost versions 10.11.x <= 10.11.8 fail to validate input size before processing hashtags which allows an authenticated attacker to exhaust CPU resources via a single HTTP request containing a post with thousands space-separated tokens.

**What kind of security feature could be bypassed by successfully exploiting this vulnerability?** An authenticated local attacker can disable or enable Windows VBS without administrative privileges, resulting in bypass of platform security hardening. This does not grant direct code execution as another user but weakens system security guarantees, enabling follow‑on attacks.

**According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Any authenticated attacker could trigger this vulnerability. It does not require admin or other elevated privileges.

Versions of the package net.sourceforge.plantuml:plantuml before 1.2026.0 are vulnerable to Stored XSS due to insufficient sanitization of interactive attributes in GraphViz diagrams. As a result, a crafted PlantUML diagram can inject malicious JavaScript into generated SVG output, leading to arbitrary script execution in the context of applications that render the SVG.
