# Summary A vulnerability in Apollo Federation's composition logic allowed some queries to Apollo Router to improperly bypass access controls on types/fields. Apollo Federation incorrectly allowed user-defined access control directives on interface types/fields, which could be bypassed by instead querying the implementing object types/fields in Apollo Router via inline or named fragments. A fix to composition logic in Federation now disallows interfaces types and fields to contain user-defined access control directives. ## Details Apollo Federation allows users to specify access control directives ([`@authenticated`, `@requiresScopes`, and `@policy`](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/graphos/routing/security/authorization#authorization-directives)) to protect object and interface types and fields. However, the GraphQL specification does not define inheritance rules for directives from interfaces to their implementations. When querying object or interface types/fields, Apollo Router w...

Anthropic, the developer behind Claude AI, says a Chinese state sponsored group used its model to automate most of a cyber espionage operation against about 30 companies with Claude handling up to 90% of the technical work.

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered critical remote code execution vulnerabilities impacting major artificial intelligence (AI) inference engines, including those from Meta, Nvidia, Microsoft, and open-source PyTorch projects such as vLLM and SGLang. "These vulnerabilities all traced back to the same root cause: the overlooked unsafe use of ZeroMQ (ZMQ) and Python's pickle deserialization,"

The Iranian state-sponsored threat actor known as APT42 has been observed targeting individuals and organizations that are of interest to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as part of a new espionage-focused campaign. The activity, detected in early September 2025 and assessed to be ongoing, has been codenamed SpearSpecter by the Israel National Digital Agency (INDA). "The

### 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.
