An issue was discovered in Weaviate OSS before 1.33.4. Due to a lack of validation of the fileName field in the transfer logic, an attacker who can call the GetFile method while a shard is in the "Pause file activity" state and the FileReplicationService is reachable can read arbitrary files accessible to the service process.

By making social accounts public, the new policy exposes private data that attackers can use for targeting, impersonation, or extortion.

A new malware called PyStoreRAT is being through fake OSINT tools on GitHub targeting IT and OSINT pros. Read Morphisec's report detailing how it uses AI and evades security.

### Impact `@vitejs/plugin-rsc` vendors `react-server-dom-webpack`, which contained a vulnerability in versions prior to 19.2.3. See details in React repository's advisory https://github.com/facebook/react/security/advisories/GHSA-925w-6v3x-g4j4 ### Patches Upgrade immediately to `@vitejs/plugin-rsc@0.5.7` or later.

Weak Encryption Algorithm in StreamPark, The use of an AES cipher in ECB mode and a weak random number generator for encrypting sensitive data, including JWT tokens, may have risked exposing sensitive authentication data This issue affects Apache StreamPark: from 2.0.0 before 2.1.7. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.1.7, which fixes the issue.

In Apache StreamPark versions 2.0.0 through 2.1.7, a security vulnerability involving a hard-coded encryption key exists. This vulnerability occurs because the system uses a fixed, immutable key for encryption instead of dynamically generating or securely configuring the key. Attackers may obtain this key through reverse engineering or code analysis, potentially decrypting sensitive data or forging encrypted information, leading to information disclosure or unauthorized system access. This issue affects Apache StreamPark: from 2.0.0 before 2.1.7. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.1.7, which fixes the issue.

Criminals make malicious ChatGPT and Grok conversations appear at the top of common Google searches—leading users straight to the Atomic macOS Stealer.

Cybersecurity researchers have documented four new phishing kits named BlackForce, GhostFrame, InboxPrime AI, and Spiderman that are capable of facilitating credential theft at scale. BlackForce, first detected in August 2025, is designed to steal credentials and perform Man-in-the-Browser (MitB) attacks to capture one-time passwords (OTPs) and bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA). The kit

A remote code execution vulnerability exists where a malicious Raft node can exploit insecure Hessian deserialization within the PD store. The fix enforces IP-based authentication to restrict cluster membership and implements a strict class whitelist to harden the Hessian serialization process against object injection attacks. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.7.0, which fixes the issue.

After years of trying VPNs for myself, privacy-minded family members, and a few mission-critical projects, here’s what I wish everyone knew.
