This Fourth of July, Bruce, the 25-foot mechanical shark from Jaws, shares how his saltwater struggles mirror the need for real-world cybersecurity stress testing.
LGBTIQ+ organizations in El Salvador are using technology to protect themselves and create a record of the country’s ongoing authoritarian escalations against their community. It’s not without risks.
An authenticated virtual machine escape vulnerability exists in HashiCorp Vagrant versions 2.4.6 and below when using the default synced folder configuration. By design, Vagrant automatically mounts the host system’s project directory into the guest VM under /vagrant (or C:\vagrant on Windows). This includes the Vagrantfile configuration file, which is a Ruby script evaluated by the host every time a vagrant command is executed in the project directory. If a low-privileged attacker obtains shell access to the guest VM, they can append arbitrary Ruby code to the mounted Vagrantfile. When a user on the host later runs any vagrant command, the injected code is executed on the host with that user’s privileges. While this shared-folder behavior is well-documented by Vagrant, the security implications of Vagrantfile execution from guest-writable storage are not explicitly addressed. This effectively enables guest-to-host code execution in multi-tenant or adversarial VM scenarios.
Researchers have found a set of vulnerabilities in Bluetooth connected devices that could allow an attacker to spy on users.
Data from research suggests that the global cryptocurrency market will at least triple by 2030, increasing to an…
At just 13 years old, Dylan became the youngest security researcher to collaborate with the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC). His journey into cybersecurity is inspiring—rooted in curiosity, resilience, and a deep desire to make a difference. Early beginnings: From scratch to security Dylan’s fascination with technology began early. Like many kids, he started with Scratch—a visual programming language for making simple games and animations.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a powerful protocol from Anthropic that defines how to connect large language models (LLMs) to external tools. It has quickly gained traction due to its ease of use and the benefits it adds in our use of AI. In this article we'll cover some of the potential security risks you'll encounter with MCP and how you can approach mitigating them.How MCP worksMCP does not directly connect LLMs with tools. The MCP client component accesses the LLM, and the MCP server component accesses the tools. One MCP client has access to one or more MCP servers. Users may connect any
## Summary ## Files managed by the *File Browser* can be shared with a link to external persons. While the application allows protecting those links with a password, the implementation is error-prone, making an incidental unprotected sharing of a file possible. ## Impact ## File owners might rest in the assumption that their shared files are only accessible to persons knowing the defined password, giving them a false sense of security. Meanwhile, attackers gaining access to the unprotected link can use this information alone to download the possibly sensitive file. ## Vulnerability Description ## When sharing a file, the user is presented with a dialog asking for an optional password to protect the file share. The assumption of the user at this point would be, that the shared file won't be accessible without knowledge of the password. After clicking on `SHARE` the following dialog opens allowing the file's owner to copy the share-link:  briefed Capitol Hill staff recently on hardening the security of their mobile devices, after a contacts list stolen from the personal phone of the White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles was reportedly used to fuel a series of text messages and phone calls impersonating her to U.S. lawmakers. But in a letter this week to the FBI, one of the Senate's most tech-savvy lawmakers says the feds aren't doing enough to recommend more appropriate security protections that are already built into most consumer mobile devices.
