The Memos application, up to version v0.24.3, allows for the embedding of markdown images with arbitrary URLs. When a user views a memo containing such an image, their browser automatically fetches the image URL without explicit user consent or interaction beyond viewing the memo. This can be exploited by an attacker to disclose the viewing user's IP address, browser User-Agent string, and potentially other request-specific information to the attacker-controlled server, leading to information disclosure and user tracking.

Allianz Life Insurance confirms a July 2025 data breach impacting 1.4 million customers, financial pros and employees. Learn how social engineering exploited a third-party CRM, the hallmarks of Scattered Spider tactics, and the broader risks of supply chain vulnerabilities.

Researchers discovered backdoors, poisoned code, and malicious commits in some of the more popular tool developers, jeopardizing software supply chains.

Specops Software's analysis reveals how Scattered Spider's persistent help desk exploitation cost Clorox $400 million. Understand the August 2023 breach, its operational disruption, and critical steps organisations must take to protect against similar social engineering threats.

A law requiring UK internet users to verify their age to access adult content has led to a huge surge in VPN downloads—and has experts worried about the future of free expression online.

Summary The growing adoption of large language models (LLMs) in enterprise workflows has introduced a new class of adversarial techniques: indirect prompt injection. Indirect prompt injection can be used against systems that leverage large language models (LLMs) to process untrusted data. Fundamentally, the risk is that an attacker could provide specially crafted data that the LLM misinterprets as instructions.

Node-SAML loads the assertion from the (unsigned) original response document. This is different than the parts that are verified when checking signature. This allows an attacker to modify authentication details within a valid SAML assertion. For example, in one attack it is possible to remove any character from the SAML assertion username. To conduct the attack an attacker would need a validly signed document from the identity provider (IdP). In fixing this we made sure to process the SAML assertions from only verified/authenticated contents. This will prevent future variants from coming up. Note: this is distinct from the previous xml-crypto CVEs.

The education sector is haunted by a significant fraud problem where fake students impersonate celebrities and employ other identity techniques to steal resources and money from legitimate students.

A new report from Google's GTIG reveals how UNC3944 (0ktapus) uses social engineering to compromise Active Directory, then exploits VMware vSphere for data theft and direct ransomware deployment. Understand their tactics and learn vital mitigation steps.

In what's the latest instance of a software supply chain attack, unknown threat actors managed to compromise Toptal's GitHub organization account and leveraged that access to publish 10 malicious packages to the npm registry. The packages contained code to exfiltrate GitHub authentication tokens and destroy victim systems, Socket said in a report published last week. In addition, 73 repositories
