This week saw a lot of new cyber trouble. Hackers hit Fortinet and Chrome with new 0-day bugs. They also broke into supply chains and SaaS tools. Many hid inside trusted apps, browser alerts, and software updates. Big firms like Microsoft, Salesforce, and Google had to react fast — stopping DDoS attacks, blocking bad links, and fixing live flaws. Reports also showed how fast fake news, AI

New research from CrowdStrike has revealed that DeepSeek's artificial intelligence (AI) reasoning model DeepSeek-R1 produces more security vulnerabilities in response to prompts that contain topics deemed politically sensitive by China. "We found that when DeepSeek-R1 receives prompts containing topics the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) likely considers politically sensitive, the likelihood of it

A China-nexus threat actor known as APT24 has been observed using a previously undocumented malware dubbed BADAUDIO to establish persistent remote access to compromised networks as part of a nearly three-year campaign. "While earlier operations relied on broad strategic web compromises to compromise legitimate websites, APT24 has recently pivoted to using more sophisticated vectors targeting

Snipe-IT v8.3.4 (build 20218) contains a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the CSV Import workflow. When an invalid CSV file is uploaded, the application returns a progress_message value that is rendered as raw HTML in the admin interface. An attacker can intercept and modify the POST /livewire/update request to inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript into the progress_message. Because the server accepts the modified input without sanitization and reflects it back to the user, arbitrary JavaScript executes in the browser of any authenticated admin who views the import page.

### Summary A Markdown front-matter block that contains JavaScript delimiter causes the JS engine in gray-matter library to execute arbitrary code in the Markdown to PDF converter process of **md-to-pdf** library, resulting in remote code execution. ### Details **md-to-pdf** uses the gray-matter library to parse front-matter. Gray-matter exposes a JavaScript engine that, when enabled or triggered by certain front-matter delimiters (e.g. ---js or ---javascript), will evaluate the front-matter contents as JavaScript. If user-supplied Markdown is fed to md-to-pdf and the front-matter contains malicious JS, the converter process will execute that code. ### PoC ``` const { mdToPdf } = require('md-to-pdf'); var payload = '---javascript\n((require("child_process")).execSync("calc.exe"))\n---RCE'; (async () => { await mdToPdf({ content: payload }, { dest: './output.pdf'}); })(); ``` Running the PoC on Windows launches the calculator application, demonstrating arbitrary code execution. #...

Cybersecurity researchers have warned of an actively expanding botnet dubbed Tsundere that's targeting Windows users. Active since mid-2025, the threat is designed to execute arbitrary JavaScript code retrieved from a command-and-control (C2) server, Kaspersky researcher Lisandro Ubiedo said in an analysis published today. There are currently no details on how the botnet malware is propagated;

Session tokens and passwords in couch-auth 0.21.2 are stored in JavaScript objects and remain in memory without explicit clearing in src/user.ts lines 700-707. This creates a window of opportunity for sensitive data extraction through memory dumps, debugging tools, or other memory access techniques, potentially leading to session hijacking.

A security vulnerability has been detected in Dreampie Resty versions up to the 1.3.1.SNAPSHOT. This affects the function Request of the file /resty-httpclient/src/main/java/cn/dreampie/client/HttpClient.java of the component HttpClient Module. Such manipulation of the argument filename leads to path traversal. The attack may be performed from remote. Attacks of this nature are highly complex. The exploitability is reported as difficult. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

phpPgAdmin versions 7.13.0 and earlier contain multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities across various components. User-supplied inputs from $_REQUEST parameters are reflected in HTML output without proper encoding or sanitization in multiple locations including sequences.php, indexes.php, admin.php, and other unspecified files. An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary JavaScript in victims' browsers, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or other malicious actions.

SquareX warns Perplexity's Comet AI browser contains a hidden MCP API that bypasses security, allowing attackers to install malware and seize full device control.
