Researchers have discovered a campaign of malicious browser extensions that were available in the official Chrome and Edge web stores.

### Summary A command injection vulnerability exists in the `node-code-sandbox-mcp` MCP Server. The vulnerability is caused by the unsanitized use of input parameters within a call to `child_process.execSync`, enabling an attacker to inject arbitrary system commands. Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution under the server process's privileges on the host machine, bypassing the sandbox protection of running code inside docker. The server constructs and executes shell commands using unvalidated user input directly within command-line strings. This introduces the possibility of shell metacharacter injection (`|`, `>`, `&&`, etc.). ### Details The MCP Server exposes tools to run code inside a docker container. An MCP Client can be instructed to execute additional actions for example via indirect prompt injection when asked to generate code that read a file. Below some example of vulnerable code and different ways to test this vulnerability including a real example o...

Threat actors are weaponizing exposed Java Debug Wire Protocol (JDWP) interfaces to obtain code execution capabilities and deploy cryptocurrency miners on compromised hosts. "The attacker used a modified version of XMRig with a hard-"coded configuration, allowing them to avoid suspicious command-line arguments that are often flagged by defenders," Wiz researchers Yaara Shriki and Gili

### Summary Short descriptions are not properly sanitized by the ShortDescription before being inserted as HTML using `mw.util.addSubtitle`, allowing any user to insert arbitrary HTML into the DOM by editing a page. ### Details The description provided by the user via the `{{SHORTDESC:}}` parser function is insufficiently sanitized by the `sanitize()` function, as html entities are decoded: https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-extensions-ShortDescription/blob/7244b1e8b5cb6dbd7e546c5be7fed8a56e33d065/includes/Hooks/ParserHooks.php#L147-L159 Via JS, the short description is then passed to `mw.util.addSubtitle`, which inserts it as raw HTML: https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-extensions-ShortDescription/blob/7244b1e8b5cb6dbd7e546c5be7fed8a56e33d065/modules/ext.shortDescription.js#L8 https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/96372101b3c579d9992e8a31a3ccd90a937cac47/resources/src/mediawiki.util/util.js#L552-L563 ### PoC 1. Enable ShortDescription 2. Make sure `$wgSho...

### Summary Short descriptions set via the [ShortDescription extension](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ShortDescription) are inserted as raw HTML by the Citizen skin, allowing any user to insert arbitrary HTML into the DOM by editing a page. ### Details The `shortdesc` property, which contains unsanitized user input, is retrieved from the OutputPage and returned as the tagline: https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-skins-Citizen/blob/0d8a44011e02a081618359a1e90f462478e807aa/includes/Components/CitizenComponentPageHeading.php#L249-L251 The tagline is then provided to the template data: https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-skins-Citizen/blob/0d8a44011e02a081618359a1e90f462478e807aa/includes/Components/CitizenComponentPageHeading.php#L270-L275 The template then inserts the tagline into raw HTML without doing any escaping: https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-skins-Citizen/blob/0d8a44011e02a081618359a1e90f462478e807aa/templates/PageHeading.mustache#L12 ...

### Summary This vulnerability affects JUnit's support for writing Open Test Reporting XML files which is an opt-in feature of `junit-platform-reporting`. If a repository is cloned using a GitHub token or other credentials in its URL, for example: ```bash git clone https://${GH_APP}:${GH_TOKEN}@github.com/example/example.git ``` The credentials are captured by `OpenTestReportGeneratingListener` which produces (trimmed for brevity): ```xml <infrastructure> <git:repository originUrl="https://username:token@github.com/example/example.git" /> </infrastructure> ``` ### Details https://github.com/junit-team/junit5/blob/6b7764dac92fd35cb348152d1b37f8726875a4e0/junit-platform-reporting/src/main/java/org/junit/platform/reporting/open/xml/OpenTestReportGeneratingListener.java#L183 I think this should be configurable in some way to exclude select git information or exclude it entirely. ### PoC 1. Clone a repo using a GitHub token as shown above. 2. Enable the listener `junit.platfor...

Google has released an urgent update for the Chrome browser to patch a vulnerability which has already been exploited.

Google has released security updates to address a vulnerability in its Chrome browser for which an exploit exists in the wild. The zero-day vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-6554 (CVSS score: N/A), has been described as a type confusing flaw in the V8 JavaScript and WebAssembly engine. "Type confusion in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 138.0.7204.96 allowed a remote attacker to perform arbitrary
