### Impact Due to insufficient access-level checks, any non-admin user having access to _manage_config_columns_page.php_ (typically project managers having MANAGER role) can use the _Copy From_ action to retrieve the columns configuration from a private project they have no access to. Access to the reverse operation (_Copy To_) is correctly controlled, i.e. it is not possible to alter the private project's configuration. ### Patches The vulnerability will be fixed in MantisBT version 2.27.2. ### Workarounds None ### Credits Thanks to [d3vpoo1](https://github.com/jrckmcsb) for reporting the issue.

When a user edits their profile to change their e-mail address, the system saves it without validating that it actually belongs to the user. ### Impact This could result in storing an invalid email address, preventing the user from receiving system notifications. Notifications sent to another person's email address could lead to information disclosure. ### Patches Fixed in 2.27.2. ### Workarounds None ### Credits Thanks to @ncrcs for discovering and reporting the issue.

The Metro Development Server, which is opened by the React Native CLI, binds to external interfaces by default. The server exposes an endpoint that is vulnerable to OS command injection. This allows unauthenticated network attackers to send a POST request to the server and run arbitrary executables. On Windows, the attackers can also execute arbitrary shell commands with fully controlled arguments.

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a new malicious extension in the Open VSX registry that harbors a remote access trojan called SleepyDuck. According to Secure Annex's John Tuckner, the extension in question, juan-bianco.solidity-vlang (version 0.0.7), was first published on October 31, 2025, as a completely benign library that was subsequently updated to version 0.0.8 on November 1 to

Kaspersky researchers uncovered Operation ForumTroll, an attack campaign utilising the new 'Dante' spyware developed by Memento Labs, the rebranded Hacking Team. The attacks used a Chrome zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2025-2783) and COM hijacking for persistence, confirming the continued deployment of advanced surveillance tools by the controversial Italian firm.

A lack of server-side validation for note length in MantisBT allows attackers to permanently corrupt issue activity logs by submitting extremely long notes (tested with 4,788,761 characters). Once such a note is added: ### Impact - The entire activity stream becomes unviewable (UI fails to render). - New notes cannot be displayed, effectively breaking all future collaboration on the issue. ### Patches Fixed in 2.27.2. ### Workarounds None ### Credits Thanks to Mazen Mahmoud (@TheAmazeng) for reporting the vulnerability.

Due to an incorrect use of loose (`==`) instead of strict (`===`) comparison in the [authentication code][1], PHP type juggling will cause interpretation of certain MD5 hashes as numbers, specifically those matching scientific notation. [1]: https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/blob/0fb502dd613991e892ed2224ac5ea3e40ba632bc/core/authentication_api.php#L782 ### Impact On MantisBT instances configured to use the *MD5* login method, user accounts having a password hash evaluating to zero (i.e. matching regex `^0+[Ee][0-9]+$`) are vulnerable, allowing an attacker knowing the victim's username to login without knowledge of their actual password, using any other password having a hash evaluating to zero, for example `comito5` (0e579603064547166083907005281618). No password bruteforcing for individual users is needed, thus $g_max_failed_login_count does not protect against the attack. ### Patches Fixed in 2.27.2. ### Workarounds Check the database for vulnerable accounts, and change tho...

App stores are overflowing with AI lookalikes—some harmless copies, others hiding adware or even spyware.

Malwarebytes earned three PCMag wins and achieved 100% protection in AVLab Cybersecurity Foundation’s latest malware test.

Bad actors are increasingly training their sights on trucking and logistics companies with an aim to infect them with remote monitoring and management (RMM) software for financial gain and ultimately steal cargo freight. The threat cluster, believed to be active since at least June 2025 according to Proofpoint, is said to be collaborating with organized crime groups to break into entities in the
