### Impact In js-yaml 4.1.0 and below, it's possible for an attacker to modify the prototype of the result of a parsed yaml document via prototype pollution (`__proto__`). All users who parse untrusted yaml documents may be impacted. ### Patches Problem is patched in js-yaml 4.1.1. ### Workarounds You can protect against this kind of attack on the server by using `node --disable-proto=delete` or `deno` (in Deno, pollution protection is on by default). ### References https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Prototype_Pollution_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet.html

Apple's Digital ID makes travel smoother and saves you from digging for documents, but it comes with privacy and security trade-offs. We break down the pros and cons.

State-sponsored threat actors from China used artificial intelligence (AI) technology developed by Anthropic to orchestrate automated cyber attacks as part of a "highly sophisticated espionage campaign" in mid-September 2025. "The attackers used AI's 'agentic' capabilities to an unprecedented degree – using AI not just as an advisor, but to execute the cyber attacks themselves," the AI upstart

Mattermost versions 10.11.x <= 10.11.3, 10.5.x <= 10.5.11, 10.12.x <= 10.12.0 fail to validate the relationship between the post being updated and the MSTeams plugin OAuth flow which allows an attacker to edit arbitrary posts via a crafted MSTeams plugin OAuth redirect URL.

Mattermost versions < 11 fail to enforce multi-factor authentication on WebSocket connections which allows unauthenticated users to access sensitive information via WebSocket events.

Cybersecurity researchers are sounding the alert about an authentication bypass vulnerability in Fortinet Fortiweb WAF that could allow an attacker to take over admin accounts and completely compromise a device. "The watchTowr team is seeing active, indiscriminate in-the-wild exploitation of what appears to be a silently patched vulnerability in Fortinet's FortiWeb product," Benjamin Harris,

We’ve been dedicated to advancing Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes in line with the rapid evolution of Kubernetes security. With version 4.9, we’re introducing key integrations and updates designed to help streamline your workflows. To that end, we’ve improved our ability to integrate with other tools and services, enhanced visibility into operations, and begun the work of bringing virtual machines (VMs) into our scope of reporting and scanning. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security Integration with ServiceNowA significant highlight of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security 4.9 is

### Summary: An observable difference in error messaging was found in the Directus REST API. The `/items/{collection}` API returns different error messages for these two cases: 1. A user tries to access an existing collection which they are not authorized to access. 2. A user tries to access a non-existing collection. The two differing error messages leak the existence of collections to users which are not authorized to access these collections. ### Details: The following response returns an error message, when requesting a collection the user is not authorized to access. ``` GET /items/no-access { "errors": [ { "message": "You don't have permission to access collection \"no-access\" or it does not exist. Queried in root.", "extensions": { "reason": "You don't have permission to access collection \"no-access\" or it does not exist. Queried in root.", "code": "FORBIDDEN" } } ] } ``` The following response returns a different error mess...

## Summary A vulnerability allows authenticated users to search concealed/sensitive fields when they have read permissions. While actual values remain masked (`****`), successful matches can be detected through returned records, enabling enumeration attacks on sensitive data. ## Details The system permits search operations on concealed fields in the `directus_users` collection, including `token`, `tfa_secret`, `password`. Matching records are returned with masked values, but their presence confirms the searched value exists. The "Recommended Defaults" for "App Access" grant users full read permissions to their role/user records, inadvertently enabling them to search for any user's tokens, TFA secrets, and password hashes. Attackers can leverage known password hashes from breach databases to identify accounts with compromised passwords. # Impact This vulnerability enables: - **Token enumeration** - Verification of valid authentication tokens - **Password hash matching** - Identifi...

### Impact The prosemirror_to_html gem is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks through malicious HTML attribute values. While tag content is properly escaped, attribute values are not, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript code. **Who is impacted:** - Any application using prosemirror_to_html to convert ProseMirror documents to HTML - Applications that process user-generated ProseMirror content are at highest risk - End users viewing the rendered HTML output could have malicious JavaScript executed in their browsers **Attack vectors include:** - `href` attributes with `javascript:` protocol: `<a href="javascript:alert(document.cookie)">` - Event handlers: `<div onclick="maliciousCode()">` - `onerror` attributes on images: `<img src=x onerror="alert('XSS')">` - Other HTML attributes that can execute JavaScript ### Patches A fix is currently in development. Users should upgrade to version **0.2.1** or later once released. The patch escapes all HTML attrib...
