China-Linked Hackers Exploit VMware ESXi Zero-Days to Escape Virtual Machines

Chinese-speaking threat actors are suspected to have leveraged a compromised SonicWall VPN appliance as an initial access vector to deploy a VMware ESXi exploit that may have been developed as far back as February 2024. Cybersecurity firm Huntress, which observed the activity in December 2025 and stopped it before it could progress to the final stage, said it may have resulted in a ransomware

Russian APT28 Runs Credential-Stealing Campaign Targeting Energy and Policy Organizations

Russian state-sponsored threat actors have been linked to a fresh set of credential harvesting attacks targeting individuals associated with a Turkish energy and nuclear research agency, as well as staff affiliated with a European think tank and organizations in North Macedonia and Uzbekistan. The activity has been attributed to APT28 (aka BlueDelta), which was attributed to a "sustained"

GHSA-jm7w-5684-pvh8: FASTJSON Includes Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere

Fastjson before 1.2.48 mishandles autoType because, when an `@type` key is in a JSON document, and the value of that key is the name of a Java class, there may be calls to certain public methods of that class. Depending on the behavior of those methods, there may be JNDI injection with an attacker-supplied payload located elsewhere in that JSON document. This was exploited in the wild in 2023 through 2025. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-18349. Also, a later bypass is covered by CVE-2022-25845.

GHSA-fg6f-75jq-6523: Authlib has 1-click Account Takeover vulnerability

The Security Labs team at Snyk is reporting a security issue affecting Authlib, which was identified during a recent research project. A vulnerability has been identified that can result in a 1-click Account Takeover in applications that use the Authlib library. (5.7 CVSS v3: AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) **Description** Cache-backed state/request-token storage is not tied to the initiating user session, so CSRF is possible for any attacker that has a valid state (easily obtainable via an attacker-initiated authentication flow). When a cache is supplied to the OAuth client registry, `FrameworkIntegration.set_state_data` writes the entire state blob under `_state_{app}_{state},` and `get_state_data` ignores the caller’s session altogether. \[1\]\[2\] ```py def _get_cache_data(self, key): value = self.cache.get(key) if not value: return None try: return json.loads(value) except (TypeError, ValueError): ret...

GHSA-mcmc-2m55-j8jj: vLLM introduced enhanced protection for CVE-2025-62164

### Summary The fix [here](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/27204) for CVE-2025-62164 is not sufficient. The fix only disables prompt embeds by default rather than addressing the root cause, so the DoS vulnerability remains when the feature is enabled. ### Details vLLM's pending change attempts to fix the root cause, which is the missing sparse tensor validation. PyTorch (~v2.0) disables sparse tensor validation (specifically, sparse tensor invariants checks) by default for performance reasons. vLLM is adding the sparse tensor validation to ensure indices are valid, non-negative, and within bounds. These checks help catch malformed tensors. ### PoC NA ### Impact Current fix only added a flag to disable/enable prompt embeds, so by default, prompt embeds feature is disabled in vLLM, which stops DoS attacks through the embeddings. However, It doesn’t address the problem when the flag is enabled and there is still potential for DoS attacks. ### Changes * https://github.co...

GHSA-g59m-gf8j-gjf5: AWS SDK for Rust v1 adopted defense in depth enhancement for region parameter value

## **Summary** This notification is related to the use of specific values for the region input field when calling AWS services. An actor with access to the environment in which the SDK is used could set the region input field to an invalid value. A defense-in-depth enhancement has been implemented in the AWS SDK for Rust. This enhancement validates that a region used to construct an endpoint URL is a valid host label. The change was released on November 6, 2025. This advisory is informational to help customers understand their responsibilities regarding configuration security. ## **Impact** Customer applications could be configured to improperly route AWS API calls to non-existent or non-AWS hosts. While the SDK was functioning safely within the requirements of the shared responsibility model, additional safeguards have been added to support secure customer implementations. **Impacted versions**: All versions prior to [November 6, 2025 release](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-rus...
