Android Malware FvncBot, SeedSnatcher, and ClayRat Gain Stronger Data Theft Features

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of two new Android malware families dubbed FvncBot and SeedSnatcher, as another upgraded version of ClayRat has been spotted in the wild. The findings come from Intel 471, CYFIRMA, and Zimperium, respectively. FvncBot, which masquerades as a security app developed by mBank, targets mobile banking users in Poland. What's notable about the malware

Researchers Uncover 30+ Flaws in AI Coding Tools Enabling Data Theft and RCE Attacks

Over 30 security vulnerabilities have been disclosed in various artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) that combine prompt injection primitives with legitimate features to achieve data exfiltration and remote code execution. The security shortcomings have been collectively named IDEsaster by security researcher Ari Marzouk (MaccariTA). They affect popular

Critical React2Shell Flaw Added to CISA KEV After Confirmed Active Exploitation

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Friday formally added a critical security flaw impacting React Server Components (RSC) to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog following reports of active exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability, CVE-2025-55182 (CVSS score: 10.0), relates to a case of remote code execution that could be triggered by an

GHSA-xrv8-2pf5-f3q7: nitro-tpm-pcr-compute may allow kernel command line modification by an account operator

## Summary Adding default PCR12 validation to ensure that account operators can not modify kernel command line parameters, potentially bypassing root filesystem integrity validation. Attestable AMIs are based on the systemd Unified Kernel Image (UKI) concept which uses systemd-boot to create a single measured UEFI binary from a Linux kernel, its initramfs, and kernel command line. The embedded kernel command line contains a dm-verity hash value that establishes trust in the root file system. When UEFI Secure Boot is disabled, systemd-boot appends any command line it receives to the kernel command line. Account operators with the ability to modify UefiData can install a boot variable with a command line that deactivates root file system integrity validation, while preserving the original PCR4 value. Systemd-boot provides separate measurement of command line modifications in PCR12. ## Impact In line with the TPM 2.0 specification and systemd-stub logic, KMS policies that do not inc...

GHSA-4qg8-fj49-pxjh: Sigstore Timestamp Authority allocates excessive memory during request parsing

### Impact **Excessive memory allocation** Function [api.ParseJSONRequest](https://github.com/sigstore/timestamp-authority/blob/26d7d426d3000abdbdf2df34de56bb92246c0365/pkg/api/timestamp.go#L63) currently splits (via a call to [strings.Split](https://pkg.go.dev/strings#Split)) an optionally-provided OID (which is untrusted data) on periods. Similarly, function [api.getContentType](https://github.com/sigstore/timestamp-authority/blob/26d7d426d3000abdbdf2df34de56bb92246c0365/pkg/api/timestamp.go#L114) splits the `Content-Type` header (which is also untrusted data) on an `application` string. As a result, in the face of a malicious request with either an excessively long OID in the payload containing many period characters or a malformed `Content-Type` header, a call to `api.ParseJSONRequest` or `api.getContentType` incurs allocations of O(n) bytes (where n stands for the length of the function's argument). Relevant weakness: [CWE-405: Asymmetric Resource Consumption (Amplification)](h...

GHSA-f83f-xpx7-ffpw: Fulcio allocates excessive memory during token parsing

Function [identity.extractIssuerURL](https://github.com/sigstore/fulcio/blob/main/pkg/identity/issuerpool.go#L44-L45) currently splits (via a call to [strings.Split](https://pkg.go.dev/strings#Split)) its argument (which is untrusted data) on periods. As a result, in the face of a malicious request with an (invalid) OIDC identity token in the payload containing many period characters, a call to `extractIssuerURL` incurs allocations to the tune of O(n) bytes (where n stands for the length of the function's argument), with a constant factor of about 16. Relevant weakness: [CWE-405: Asymmetric Resource Consumption (Amplification)](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/405.html) Details See [identity.extractIssuerURL](https://github.com/sigstore/fulcio/blob/main/pkg/identity/issuerpool.go#L44-L45) Impact Excessive memory allocation

GHSA-mp85-7mrq-r866: Envoy crashes when JWT authentication is configured with the remote JWKS fetching

### Summary Envoy crashes when JWT authentication is configured with the remote JWKS fetching, `allow_missing_or_failed` is enabled, multiple JWT tokens are present in the request headers and the JWKS fetch fails. ### Details This is caused by a re-entry bug in the `JwksFetcherImpl`. When the first token's JWKS fetch fails, `onJwksError()` callback triggers processing of the second token, which calls fetch() again on the same fetcher object. The original callback's reset() then clears the second fetch's state (`receiver_ and request_`) which causes a crash when the async HTTP response arrives. ### PoC * `allow_missing_or_failed` or `allow_missing` is enabled * The client send 2 Authorization headers * the remote JWKS fetching failed * There will be crash ### Impact DoS and Crash ### Mitigation * Disable the `allow_missing_or_failed` or `allow_missing`
