Hackers have been busy again this week. From fake voice calls and AI-powered malware to huge money-laundering busts and new scams, there’s a lot happening in the cyber world. Criminals are getting creative — using smart tricks to steal data, sound real, and hide in plain sight. But they’re not the only ones moving fast. Governments and security teams are fighting back, shutting down fake

The vulnerability is a **Credential Leak by App Logic** that leads to the **unauthorized disclosure of the Cross-Site Request Forgery (XSRF) token** to an attacker-controlled domain. Angular's HttpClient has a built-in XSRF protection mechanism that works by checking if a request URL starts with a protocol (`http://` or `https://`) to determine if it is cross-origin. If the URL starts with protocol-relative URL (`//`), it is incorrectly treated as a same-origin request, and the XSRF token is automatically added to the `X-XSRF-TOKEN` header. ### Impact The token leakage completely bypasses Angular's built-in CSRF protection, allowing an attacker to capture the user's valid XSRF token. Once the token is obtained, the attacker can perform arbitrary Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks against the victim user's session. ### Attack Preconditions 1. The victim's Angular application must have **XSRF protection enabled**. 2. The attacker must be able to make the application send a st...

## Summary - Vulnerable component: `multi-session` plugin’s `/sign-out` after-hook (`packages/better-auth/src/plugins/multi-session/index.ts`) - Issue: Hook trusts raw multi-session cookies and forwards unsanitized tokens to `internalAdapter.deleteSessions`, allowing forged cookies to revoke arbitrary sessions. - Status: Reproduced locally with updated proof-of-concept. ## Impact Any authenticated attacker who can obtain the plain session token of another user (via log leaks, backups, etc.) can forge a multi-session cookie and trigger `/sign-out`. The hook extracts the attacker-supplied token and deletes the victim’s session, causing cross-account logout. No signing secret is required. ## Product / Version - Repository: `better-auth` - Branch: `canary` - Affected file: `packages/better-auth/src/plugins/multi-session/index.ts` (current head) - Dependency configuration: `pnpm install`, Bun runtime (`bun v1.3.0`) ## Steps to Reproduce 1. Clone the repository and install dependencies wi...

willitmerge describes itself as a command line tool to check if pull requests are mergeable. There is a Command Injection vulnerability in version `willitmerge@0.2.1`. Resources: * Project's GitHub source code: https://github.com/shama/willitmerge/ * Project's npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/willitmerge ## Background on exploitation Reporting a Command Injection vulnerability in `willitmerge` npm package. A security vulnerability manifests in this package due to the use of insecure child process execution API (`exec`) to which it concateanes user input, whether provided to the command-line flag, or is in user control in the target repository. ## Exploit ### POC 1 1. Install `willitmerge` 2. Run it with the following command ```sh willitmerge --verbose --remote "https://github.com/lirantal/npq.git; touch /tmp/hel" ``` 3. Confirm the file `/tmp/hel` is created on disk ### GitHub-sourced attack vector [Lines 189-197](https://github.com/shama/willitmerge/blob/2fe9...

### Summary An Uncontrolled Recursion (CWE-674) vulnerability in node-forge versions 1.3.1 and below enables remote, unauthenticated attackers to craft deep ASN.1 structures that trigger unbounded recursive parsing. This leads to a Denial-of-Service (DoS) via stack exhaustion when parsing untrusted DER inputs. ### Details An ASN.1 Denial of Service (Dos) vulnerability exists in the node-forge `asn1.fromDer` function within `forge/lib/asn1.js`. The ASN.1 DER parser implementation (`_fromDer`) recurses for every constructed ASN.1 value (SEQUENCE, SET, etc.) and lacks a guard limiting recursion depth. An attacker can craft a small DER blob containing a very large nesting depth of constructed TLVs which causes the Node.js V8 engine to exhaust its call stack and throw `RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded`, crashing or incapacitating the process handling the parse. This is a remote, low-cost Denial-of-Service against applications that parse untrusted ASN.1 objects. ### Impact T...

### Summary **MITRE-Formatted CVE Description** An Integer Overflow (CWE-190) vulnerability in node-forge versions 1.3.1 and below enables remote, unauthenticated attackers to craft ASN.1 structures containing OIDs with oversized arcs. These arcs may be decoded as smaller, trusted OIDs due to 32-bit bitwise truncation, enabling the bypass of downstream OID-based security decisions. ### Description An ASN.1 OID Integer Truncation vulnerability exists in the node-forge `asn1.derToOid` function within `forge/lib/asn1.js`. OID components are decoded using JavaScript's bitwise left-shift operator (`<<`), which forcibly casts values to 32-bit signed integers. Consequently, if an attacker provides a mathematically unique, very large OID arc integer exceeding $2^{31}-1$, the value silently overflows and wraps around rather than throwing an error. ### Impact This vulnerability allows a specially crafted ASN.1 object to spoof an OID, where a malicious certificate with a massive, invalid OI...
