CVE-2025-54603 gave attackers an opening to disrupt critical operational technology (OT) environments and critical infrastructure, plus steal data from them.

By default, Liferay Portal 7.4.0 through 7.4.3.119, and older unsupported versions, and Liferay DXP 2024.Q1.1 through 2024.Q1.5, 2023.Q4.0 through 2023.Q4.10, 2023.Q3.1 through 2023.Q3.10, 7.4 GA through update 92, and older unsupported versions is vulnerable to DNS rebinding attacks, which allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary external URLs. This vulnerability can be mitigated by changing the redirect URL security from IP to domain.

The keras.utils.get_file API in Keras, when used with the extract=True option for tar archives, is vulnerable to a path traversal attack. The utility uses Python's tarfile.extractall function without the filter="data" feature. A remote attacker can craft a malicious tar archive containing special symlinks, which, when extracted, allows them to write arbitrary files to any location on the filesystem outside of the intended destination folder. This vulnerability is linked to the underlying Python tarfile weakness, identified as CVE-2025-4517. Note that upgrading Python to one of the versions that fix CVE-2025-4517 (e.g. Python 3.13.4) is not enough. One additionally needs to upgrade Keras to a version with the fix (Keras 3.12).

### Impact Stored XSS vulnerabilities in Collections and Taxonomies allow authenticated users with content creation permissions to inject malicious JavaScript that executes when viewed by higher-privileged users. This affects: - Control panel users with permission to create or edit Collections and Taxonomies - Versions up to and including 5.22.0 The vulnerability can be exploited to: - Change a super admin's password (versions ≤ 5.21.0) - Change a super admin's email address to initiate password reset (version 5.22.0) - Gain unauthorized access to superadmin accounts The attack requires: - An authenticated user with control panel and content creation permissions - A super admin to view the compromised content ### Patches This has been fixed in 5.22.1. ### Credits Statamic thanks [Wojtek Chwala](https://github.com/wojtekchwala) for responsibly reporting the identified issues and working with us as we addressed them.

### Summary When using subrequest authentication, Anubis did not perform validation of the redirect URL and redirects user to any URL scheme. While most modern browsers do not allow a redirect to `javascript:` URLs, it could still trigger dangerous behavior in some cases. `GET https://example.com/.within.website/?redir=javascript:alert()` responds with `Location: javascript:alert()`. ### Impact Anybody with a subrequest authentication seems affected. Using `javascript:` URLs will probably be blocked by most modern browsers, but using custom protocols for third-party applications might still trigger dangerous operations. ### Note This was originally reported by @mbiesiad against Weblate.

A new ICE proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

Ribbon Communications discloses a year-long breach by nation-state actors. The attack highlights critical supply chain risk, reflecting the Salt Typhoon and F5 espionage trends.

An open redirect vulnerability exists in Byaidu PDFMathTranslate v1.9.9 that allows attackers to craft URLs that cause the application to redirect users to arbitrary external websites via the file parameter to the /gradio_api endpoint. This vulnerability could be exploited for phishing attacks or to bypass security filters.

Attackers don’t need to hack you to find you. They just piece together what’s already public.
