Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a malicious npm package that comes with stealthy features to inject malicious code into desktop apps for cryptocurrency wallets like Atomic and Exodus on Windows systems. The package, named nodejs-smtp, impersonates the legitimate email library nodemailer with an identical tagline, page styling, and README descriptions, attracting a total of 347

A vulnerability in Next.js Image Optimization has been fixed in v15.4.5 and v14.2.31. When images returned from API routes vary based on request headers (such as `Cookie` or `Authorization`), these responses could be incorrectly cached and served to unauthorized users due to a cache key confusion bug. All users are encouraged to upgrade if they use API routes to serve images that depend on request headers and have image optimization enabled.

A vulnerability in **Next.js Image Optimization** has been fixed in **v15.4.5** and **v14.2.31**. The issue allowed attacker-controlled external image sources to trigger file downloads with arbitrary content and filenames under specific configurations. This behavior could be abused for phishing or malicious file delivery. All users relying on `images.domains` or `images.remotePatterns` are encouraged to upgrade and verify that external image sources are strictly validated.

A vulnerability in **Next.js Middleware** has been fixed in **v14.2.32** and **v15.4.7**. The issue occurred when request headers were directly passed into `NextResponse.next()`. In self-hosted applications, this could allow Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) if certain sensitive headers from the incoming request were reflected back into the response. All users implementing custom middleware logic in self-hosted environments are strongly encouraged to upgrade and verify correct usage of the `next()` function.

A security flaw has been discovered in AiondaDotCom mcp-ssh up to 1.0.3. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file server-simple.mjs. Performing manipulation results in command injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. Upgrading to version 1.0.4 and 1.1.0 can resolve this issue. The patch is named cd2566a948b696501abfa6c6b03462cac5fb43d8. It is advisable to upgrade the affected component.

A Session Fixation vulnerability existed in Payload's SQLite adapter due to identifier reuse during account creation. A malicious attacker could create a new account, save its JSON Web Token (JWT), and then delete the account, which did not invalidate the JWT. As a result, the next newly created user would receive the same identifier, allowing the attacker to reuse the JWT to authenticate and perform actions as that user. This issue has been fixed in version 3.44.0 of Payload.

Payload uses JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication. After log out JWT is not invalidated, which allows an attacker who has stolen or intercepted token to freely reuse it until expiration date (which is by default set to 2 hours, but can be changed). This issue has been fixed in version 3.44.0 of Payload.

A malicious user may submit a specially-crafted complex payload that otherwise meets the default request size limit which results in excessive memory and CPU consumption of Vault. This may lead to a timeout in Vault’s auditing subroutine, potentially resulting in the Vault server to become unresponsive. This vulnerability, CVE-2025-6203, is fixed in Vault Community Edition 1.20.3 and Vault Enterprise 1.20.3, 1.19.9, 1.18.14, and 1.16.25.

### Impact When visiting a specific URL, an anonymous user could cause the NodeJS server part of Volto to quit with an error. ### Patches The problem has been patched and the patch has been backported to Volto major versions down until 16. It is advised to upgrade to the latest patch release of your respective current major version: - Volto 16: [16.34.0](https://github.com/plone/volto/releases/tag/16.34.0) - Volto 17: [17.22.1](https://github.com/plone/volto/releases/tag/17.22.1) - Volto 18: [18.24.0](https://github.com/plone/volto/releases/tag/18.24.0) - Volto 19: [19.0.0-alpha4](https://github.com/plone/volto/releases/tag/19.0.0-alpha.4) ### Workarounds Make sure your setup automatically restarts processes that quit with an error. This won't prevent a crash, but it minimises downtime. ### Report The problem was discovered by FHNW, a client of Plone provider kitconcept, who shared it with the Plone Zope Security Team (security@plone.org).
