Every week, the cyber world reminds us that silence doesn’t mean safety. Attacks often begin quietly — one unpatched flaw, one overlooked credential, one backup left unencrypted. By the time alarms sound, the damage is done. This week’s edition looks at how attackers are changing the game — linking different flaws, working together across borders, and even turning trusted tools into weapons.

### Summary Amazon.IonDotnet is a library for the Dotnet language that is used to read and write Amazon Ion data. An issue exists where, under certain circumstances, the library could an infinite loop, resulting in denial of service. As of August 20, 2025, this library has been deprecated and will not receive further updates. ### Impact An infinite loop issue in Amazon.IonDotnet library versions <v1.3.2 may allow a threat actor to cause a denial of service through a specially crafted text input. This invalid input triggered an error condition in the parser that was handled improperly, resulting in an infinite loop. ### Impacted versions: <1.3.2 ### Patches This issue has been addressed in Amazon.IonDotnet version [1.3.2](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Amazon.IonDotnet/1.3.2). We recommend upgrading to the latest version and ensuring any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes. ### Workarounds Only accept data from trusted sources, written using a supported...

Cyber threats are evolving faster than ever. Attackers now combine social engineering, AI-driven manipulation, and cloud exploitation to breach targets once considered secure. From communication platforms to connected devices, every system that enhances convenience also expands the attack surface. This edition of ThreatsDay Bulletin explores these converging risks and the safeguards that help

## Summary ## A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the chat API allows any authenticated user to force the server to make arbitrary HTTP requests to internal and external networks. This can lead to the exposure of sensitive internal services, reconnaissance of the internal network, or interaction with third-party services. The same mechanism also allows for a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability, enabling users to read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem. ## Details ## The vulnerability exists in the _process_request function within src/llamafactory/api/chat.py. This function is responsible for processing incoming multimodal content, including images, videos, and audio provided via URLs. The function checks if the provided URL is a base64 data URI or a local file path (os.path.isfile). If neither is true, it falls back to treating the URL as a web URI and makes a direct HTTP GET request using requests.get(url, stream=True).raw without any validation or...

The cyber world never hits pause, and staying alert matters more than ever. Every week brings new tricks, smarter attacks, and fresh lessons from the field. This recap cuts through the noise to share what really matters—key trends, warning signs, and stories shaping today’s security landscape. Whether you’re defending systems or just keeping up, these highlights help you spot what’s coming

In the era of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud technologies, organizations are increasingly implementing security measures to protect sensitive data and ensure regulatory compliance. Among these measures, AI-SPM (AI Security Posture Management) solutions have gained traction to secure AI pipelines, sensitive data assets, and the overall AI ecosystem. These solutions help

### Summary The `/mpl/<port>/<route>` endpoint, which is accessible without authentication on default Marimo installations allows for external attackers to reach internal services and arbitrary ports. ### Details This route is used internally to provide access to interactive matplotlib visualizations. [marimo/marimo/_server/main.py at main · marimo-team/marimo](https://github.com/marimo-team/marimo/blob/main/marimo/_server/main.py) This endpoint functions as an unauthenticated proxy, allowing an attacker to connect to any service running on the local machine via the specified `<port>` and `<route>`. The existence of this proxy is visible in the application's code (marimo/_server/main.py), but there's no official documentation or warning about its behavior or potential risks. ### Impact CWE-441: Proxying Without Authentication This vulnerability, as it can be used to bypass firewalls and access internal services that are intended to be local-only. The level of impact depends ent...

Cybersecurity researchers at Varonis have discovered two new plug-and-play cybercrime toolkits, MatrixPDF and SpamGPT. Learn how these AI-powered tools make mass phishing and PDF malware accessible to anyone, redefining online security risks.

A group of academics from KU Leuven and the University of Birmingham has demonstrated a new vulnerability called Battering RAM to bypass the latest defenses on Intel and AMD cloud processors. "We built a simple, $50 interposer that sits quietly in the memory path, behaving transparently during startup and passing all trust checks," researchers Jesse De Meulemeester, David Oswald, Ingrid
