Public sector cybersecurity faces outdated systems, budget gaps, and rising attacks. Learn key challenges, defense strategies, and proven best practices.

Threat actors have been observed uploading a set of eight packages on the npm registry that masqueraded as integrations targeting the n8n workflow automation platform to steal developers' OAuth credentials. One such package, named "n8n-nodes-hfgjf-irtuinvcm-lasdqewriit," mimics a Google Ads integration, and prompts users to link their advertising account in a seemingly legitimate form and then

### Impact The SSL verification would be skipped for some crafted URLs. ### Patches * https://github.com/WeblateOrg/wlc/pull/1097 ### Workarounds Avoid using untrusted wlc configurations, as that might cause insecure connections. ### References This issue was reported to us by [wh1zee](https://hackerone.com/wh1zee) via HackerOne.

### Prologue These vulnerabilities have been found and chained by DCODX-AI. Validation of the exploit chain has been confirmed manually. ### Summary A persistent stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the custom_hotkeys functionality of the application. An authenticated attacker (or one who can trick a user/administrator into updating their custom_hotkeys) can inject JavaScript code that executes in other users’ browsers when those users load any page using the `templates/base.html` template. Because the application exposes an API token endpoint (`/api/current-user/token`) to the browser and lacks robust CSRF protection on some API endpoints, the injected script may fetch the victim’s API token or call token reset endpoints — enabling full account takeover and unauthorized API access. This vulnerability is of critical severity due to the broad impact, minimal requirements for exploitation (authenticated user), and the ability to escalate privileges to full accoun...

### Summary An unauthenticated path traversal in the file upload API lets any caller read arbitrary files from the server filesystem and move them into MindsDB’s storage, exposing sensitive data. Severity: High. ### Details The PUT handler in file.py directly joins user-controlled data into a filesystem path when the request body is JSON and `source_type` is not `"url"`: - `data = request.json` (line ~104) accepts attacker input without validation. - `file_path = os.path.join(temp_dir_path, data["file"])` (line ~178) creates the path inside a temporary directory, but if `data["file"]` is absolute (e.g., `/home/secret.csv`), `os.path.join` ignores `temp_dir_path` and targets the attacker-specified location. - The resulting path is handed to `ca.file_controller.save_file(...)`, which wraps `FileReader(path=source_path)` (`mindsdb/interfaces/file/file_controller.py:66`), causing the application to read the contents of that arbitrary file. The subsequent `shutil.move(file_path, ...)` cal...

Everest ransomware claims to have breached Nissan Motor Corporation, alleging the theft of 900GB of internal data, including documents and screenshots.

Grok’s apology is unlikely to be the end of the story after the AI tool was used to generate content that may constitute illegal child sexual abuse material.

This week made one thing clear: small oversights can spiral fast. Tools meant to save time and reduce friction turned into easy entry points once basic safeguards were ignored. Attackers didn’t need novel tricks. They used what was already exposed and moved in without resistance. Scale amplified the damage. A single weak configuration rippled out to millions. A repeatable flaw worked again and

In 2025, Malwarebytes was repeatedly tested against real-world threats. Here’s what those tests found.
