Microsoft today released updates to fix more than 100 security flaws in its Windows operating systems and other software. At least 13 of the bugs received Microsoft's most-dire "critical" rating, meaning they could be abused by malware or malcontents to gain remote access to a Windows system with little or no help from users.

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.132, and Liferay DXP 2025.Q1.0 through 2025.Q1.10, 2024.Q4.0 through 2024.Q4.7, 2024.Q3.1 through 2024.Q3.13, 2024.Q2.1 through 2024.Q2.13, 2024.Q1.1 through 2024.Q1.16 and 7.4 GA through update 92 allows a remote authenticated attacker to inject JavaScript code in the “first display label” field in the configuration of a custom sort widget. This malicious payload is then reflected and executed by clay button taglib when refreshing the page.

#### Problem The sanitization logic at https://github.com/darylldoyle/svg-sanitizer/blob/0.21.0/src/Sanitizer.php#L454-L481 only searches for lower-case attribute names (e.g. `xlink:href` instead of `xlink:HrEf`), which allows to by-pass the `isHrefSafeValue` check. As a result this allows cross-site scripting or linking to external domains. #### Proof-of-concept _provided by azizk_ ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="100" height="100"> <a xlink:hReF="javascript:alert(document.domain)"> <rect width="100" height="50" fill="red"></rect> <text x="50" y="30" text-anchor="middle" fill="white">Click me</text> </a> </svg> ``` #### Credits The mentioned findings and proof-of-concept example were reported to the TYPO3 Security Team by the external security researcher `azizk <medazizknani@gmail.com>`.

Cisco Talos has observed an ongoing malware campaign that seeks to infect victims with a multi-stage malware framework, implemented in PowerShell and C#, which we are referring to as “PS1Bot.”

Microsoft has released its monthly security update for August 2025, which includes 111 vulnerabilities affecting a range of products, including 13 that Microsoft marked as “critical”.   In this month's release, Microsoft observed none of the included vulnerabilities being actively exploited in the wild.

### Summary It is possible to bypass the mitigation introduced in response to [CVE-2025-1550](https://github.com/keras-team/keras/security/advisories/GHSA-48g7-3x6r-xfhp), when an untrusted Keras v3 model is loaded, even when “safe_mode” is enabled, by crafting malicious arguments to built-in Keras modules. The vulnerability is exploitable on the default configuration and does not depend on user input (just requires an untrusted model to be loaded). ### Impact | Type | Vector |Impact| | -------- | ------- | ------- | |Unsafe deserialization |Client-Side (when loading untrusted model)|Arbitrary file overwrite. Can lead to Arbitrary code execution in many cases.| ### Details Keras’ [safe_mode](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/models/load_model) flag is designed to disallow unsafe lambda deserialization - specifically by rejecting any arbitrary embedded Python code, marked by the “__lambda__” class name. https://github.com/keras-team/keras/blob/v3.8.0/keras/sr...

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.131, and Liferay DXP 2024.Q4.0 through 2024.Q4.7, 2024.Q3.1 through 2024.Q3.13, 2024.Q2.0 through 2024.Q2.13, 2024.Q1.1 through 2024.Q1.12 and 7.4 GA through update 92 allows an remote non-authenticated attacker to inject JavaScript into the google_gadget.

A previously undocumented threat actor dubbed Curly COMrades has been observed targeting entities in Georgia and Moldova as part of a cyber espionage campaign designed to facilitate long-term access to target networks. "They repeatedly tried to extract the NTDS database from domain controllers -- the primary repository for user password hashes and authentication data in a Windows network,"

A resource allocation vulnerability exists in Bouncy Castle for Java (by Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc.) that affects all API modules. The vulnerability allows attackers to cause excessive memory allocation through unbounded resource consumption, potentially leading to denial of service. The issue is located in the ASN1ObjectIdentifier.java file in the core module. This issue affects Bouncy Castle for Java: from BC 1.0 through 1.77, from BC-FJA 1.0.0 through 2.0.0.
