From Log4j to IIS, China’s Hackers Turn Legacy Bugs into Global Espionage Tools

A China-linked threat actor has been attributed to a cyber attack targeting an U.S. non-profit organization with an aim to establish long-term persistence, as part of broader activity aimed at U.S. entities that are linked to or involved in policy issues. The organization, according to a report from Broadcom's Symantec and Carbon Black teams, is "active in attempting to influence U.S. government

GHSA-w7xj-8fx7-wfch: Open WebUI vulnerable to Stored DOM XSS via prompts when 'Insert Prompt as Rich Text' is enabled resulting in ATO/RCE

### Summary The functionality that inserts custom prompts into the chat window is vulnerable to DOM XSS when 'Insert Prompt as Rich Text' is enabled, since the prompt body is assigned to the DOM sink `.innerHtml` without sanitisation. Any user with permissions to create prompts can abuse this to plant a payload that could be triggered by other users if they run the corresponding `/` command to insert the prompt. ### Details The affected line is https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/blob/7a83e7dfa367d19f762ec17cac5e4a94ea2bd97d/src/lib/components/common/RichTextInput.svelte#L348 ```js export const replaceCommandWithText = async (text) => { const { state, dispatch } = editor.view; const { selection } = state; const pos = selection.from; // Get the plain text of this document // const docText = state.doc.textBetween(0, state.doc.content.size, '\n', '\n'); // Find the word boundaries at cursor const { start, end } = getWordBoundsAtPos(state.doc, pos); let tr = sta...

Hidden Logic Bombs in Malware-Laced NuGet Packages Set to Detonate Years After Installation

A set of nine malicious NuGet packages has been identified as capable of dropping time-delayed payloads to sabotage database operations and corrupt industrial control systems. According to software supply chain security company Socket, the packages were published in 2023 and 2024 by a user named "shanhai666" and are designed to run malicious code after specific trigger dates in August 2027 and

Enterprise Credentials at Risk – Same Old, Same Old?

Imagine this: Sarah from accounting gets what looks like a routine password reset email from your organization’s cloud provider. She clicks the link, types in her credentials, and goes back to her spreadsheet. But unknown to her, she’s just made a big mistake. Sarah just accidentally handed over her login details to cybercriminals who are laughing all the way to their dark web

Google Launches New Maps Feature to Help Businesses Report Review-Based Extortion Attempts

Google on Thursday said it's rolling out a dedicated form to allow businesses listed on Google Maps to report extortion attempts made by threat actors who post inauthentic bad reviews on the platform and demand ransoms to remove the negative comments. The approach is designed to tackle a common practice called review bombing, where online users intentionally post negative user reviews in an

Vibe-Coded Malicious VS Code Extension Found with Built-In Ransomware Capabilities

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a malicious Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extension with basic ransomware capabilities that appears to be created with the help of artificial intelligence – in other words, vibe-coded. Secure Annex researcher John Tuckner, who flagged the extension "susvsex," said it does not attempt to hide its malicious functionality. The extension was uploaded on

GHSA-fv2r-r8mp-pg48: Soft Serve does not sanitize ANSI escape sequences in user input

### Impact In several places where the user can insert data (e.g. names), ANSI escape sequences are not being removed, which can then be used, for example, to show fake alerts. In the same token, git messages, when printed, are also not being sanitized. Places in which this was found: 1. Repository Description (pkg/backend/repo.go - SetDescription) 2. Repository Project Name (pkg/backend/repo.go - SetProjectName) 3. Git Commit Author Names (pkg/ssh/cmd/commit.go:69) 4. Git Commit Messages (pkg/ssh/cmd/commit.go:71) 5. Access Token Names (pkg/ssh/cmd/token.go:107) 6. Webhook URLs (pkg/ssh/cmd/webhooks.go:72) ### Patches v0.11.0 ### Workarounds No. ### References n/a

GHSA-2r4r-5x78-mvqf: KubeVirt Isolation Detection Flaw Allows Arbitrary File Permission Changes

### Summary _Short summary of the problem. Make the impact and severity as clear as possible. It is possible to trick the `virt-handler` component into changing the ownership of arbitrary files on the host node to the unprivileged user with UID `107` due to mishandling of symlinks when determining the root mount of a `virt-launcher` pod. ### Details _Give all details on the vulnerability. Pointing to the incriminated source code is very helpful for the maintainer._ In the current implementation, the `virt-handler` does not verify whether the `launcher-sock` is a symlink or a regular file. This oversight can be exploited, for example, to change the ownership of arbitrary files on the host node to the unprivileged user with UID `107` (the same user used by `virt-launcher`) thus, compromising the CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability) of data on the host. To successfully exploit this vulnerability, an attacker should be in control of the file system of the `virt-launcher` ...
