Federal prosecutors in the U.S. have accused a trio of allegedly hacking the networks of five U.S. companies with BlackCat (aka ALPHV) ransomware between May and November 2023 and extorting them. Ryan Clifford Goldberg, Kevin Tyler Martin, and an unnamed co–conspirator (aka "Co-Conspirator 1") based in Florida, all U.S. nationals, are said to have used the ransomware strain against a medical

### Impact Missing authentication in the `/api/v1/usage-report/summary` endpoint allows anyone to retrieve aggregate API usage counts. While no sensitive data is disclosed, the endpoint may reveal information about service activity or uptime. ### Patches Upgrade to >v1.70.1 ### Workarounds Any **ONE** of these is sufficient to block this reporting: - Disable usage reporting by setting configuration option `usage_report.enabled` or environment variable `LAKEFS_USAGE_REPORT_ENABLED` to `false`. - Using load-balancer or application level firewall - blocking the request route /api/v1/usage-report/summary.

## Summary A command injection vulnerability in MotionEye allows attackers to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) by supplying malicious values in configuration fields exposed via the Web UI. Because MotionEye writes user-supplied values directly into Motion configuration files without sanitization, attackers can inject shell syntax that is executed when the Motion process restarts. This issue enables full takeover of the MotionEye container and potentially the host environment (depending on container privileges). ## Details ### Root Cause: MotionEye accepts arbitrary strings from fields such as **image_file_name** and **movie_filename** in the Web UI. These are written directly into **/etc/motioneye/camera-*.conf**. When MotionEye restarts the Motion service (motionctl.start), the Motion binary reads this configuration. Because Motion treats these fields as shell-expandable, injected characters (e.g. $(), backticks) are interpreted as shell commands. ### Vulnerability flow: Dashboa...

### Impact Due to insufficient access-level checks, any non-admin user having access to _manage_config_columns_page.php_ (typically project managers having MANAGER role) can use the _Copy From_ action to retrieve the columns configuration from a private project they have no access to. Access to the reverse operation (_Copy To_) is correctly controlled, i.e. it is not possible to alter the private project's configuration. ### Patches The vulnerability will be fixed in MantisBT version 2.27.2. ### Workarounds None ### Credits Thanks to [d3vpoo1](https://github.com/jrckmcsb) for reporting the issue.

The Metro Development Server, which is opened by the React Native CLI, binds to external interfaces by default. The server exposes an endpoint that is vulnerable to OS command injection. This allows unauthenticated network attackers to send a POST request to the server and run arbitrary executables. On Windows, the attackers can also execute arbitrary shell commands with fully controlled arguments.

Due to an incorrect use of loose (`==`) instead of strict (`===`) comparison in the [authentication code][1], PHP type juggling will cause interpretation of certain MD5 hashes as numbers, specifically those matching scientific notation.

No password bruteforcing for individual users is needed, thus $g_max_failed_login_count does not protect against the attack. ### Patches Fixed in 2.27.2. ### Workarounds Check the database for vulnerable accounts, and change tho...

Cyberattacks are getting smarter and harder to stop. This week, hackers used sneaky tools, tricked trusted systems, and quickly took advantage of new security problems—some just hours after being found. No system was fully safe. From spying and fake job scams to strong ransomware and tricky phishing, the attacks came from all sides. Even encrypted backups and secure areas were put to the test.

North Korean hackers from the Famous Chollima group used AI deepfakes and stolen identities in fake job interviews to infiltrate crypto and Web3 companies.

Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on two different Android trojans called BankBot-YNRK and DeliveryRAT that are capable of harvesting sensitive data from compromised devices. According to CYFIRMA, which analyzed three different samples of BankBot-YNRK, the malware incorporates features to sidestep analysis efforts by first checking its running within a virtualized or emulated environment

As the Trump administration ramps up its targeting of left-leaning people and groups, the prosecution and harsh sentencing of Casey Goonan may provide a glimpse of things to come.
