Cybersecurity researchers have discovered three malicious npm packages that are designed to deliver a previously undocumented malware called NodeCordRAT. The names of the packages, all of which were taken down as of November 2025, are listed below. They were uploaded by a user named "wenmoonx." bitcoin-main-lib (2,300 Downloads) bitcoin-lib-js (193 Downloads) bip40 (970 Downloads) "The

# OpenMetadata RCE Vulnerability - Proof of Concept ## Executive Summary **CRITICAL Remote Code Execution vulnerability** confirmed in OpenMetadata v1.11.2 via **Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI)** in FreeMarker email templates. ## Vulnerability Details ### 1. Root Cause File: `openmetadata-service/src/main/java/org/openmetadata/service/util/DefaultTemplateProvider.java` **Lines 35-45** contain unsafe FreeMarker template instantiation: ```java public Template getTemplate(String templateName) throws IOException { EmailTemplate emailTemplate = documentRepository.fetchEmailTemplateByName(templateName); String template = emailTemplate.getTemplate(); // ← USER-CONTROLLED CONTENT FROM DATABASE if (nullOrEmpty(template)) { throw new IOException("Template content not found for template: " + templateName); } return new Template( templateName, new StringReader(template), // ← RENDERS UNTRUSTED TEMPLATE new Configuration(C...

## Impact **Vulnerability Type:** HTML Injection via JSON Type Confusion **Affected Versions:** Preact 10.26.5 through 10.28.1 **Severity:** Low to Medium (see below) ### Who is Impacted? Applications using affected Preact versions are vulnerable if they meet **all** of the following conditions: 1. **Pass unmodified, unsanitized values** from user-modifiable data sources (APIs, databases, local storage, etc.) directly into the render tree 2. **Assume these values are strings** but the data source could return actual JavaScript objects instead of JSON strings 3. The data source either: - Fails to perform type sanitization **AND** blindly stores/returns raw objects interchangeably with strings, OR - Is compromised (e.g., poisoned local storage, filesystem, or database) ### Technical Details Preact includes JSON serialization protection to prevent Virtual DOM elements from being constructed from arbitrary JSON. A regression introduced in Preact 10.26.5 caused this protection...

# pnpm v10+ Git Dependency Script Execution Bypass ### Summary A security bypass vulnerability in pnpm v10+ allows git-hosted dependencies to execute arbitrary code during `pnpm install`, circumventing the v10 security feature "Dependency lifecycle scripts execution disabled by default". While pnpm v10 blocks `postinstall` scripts via the `onlyBuiltDependencies` mechanism, git dependencies can still execute `prepare`, `prepublish`, and `prepack` scripts during the fetch phase, enabling remote code execution without user consent or approval. ### Details pnpm v10 introduced a security feature to disable dependency lifecycle scripts by default ([PR #8897](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/pull/8897)). This is implemented by setting `onlyBuiltDependencies = []` when no build policy is configured: **File:** `pkg-manager/core/src/install/extendInstallOptions.ts` (lines 290-291) ```typescript if (opts.neverBuiltDependencies == null && opts.onlyBuiltDependencies == null && opts.onlyBuiltDepend...

## Summary A command injection vulnerability exists in pnpm when using environment variable substitution in `.npmrc` configuration files with `tokenHelper` settings. An attacker who can control environment variables during pnpm operations could achieve remote code execution (RCE) in build environments. ## Affected Components - **Package**: pnpm - **Versions**: All versions using `@pnpm/config.env-replace` and `loadToken` functionality - **File**: `pnpm/network/auth-header/src/getAuthHeadersFromConfig.ts` - `loadToken()` function - **File**: `pnpm/config/config/src/readLocalConfig.ts` - `.npmrc` environment variable substitution ## Technical Details ### Vulnerability Chain 1. **Environment Variable Substitution** - `.npmrc` supports `${VAR}` syntax - Substitution occurs in `readLocalConfig()` 2. **loadToken Execution** - Uses `spawnSync(helperPath, { shell: true })` - Only validates absolute path existence 3. **Attack Flow** ``` .npmrc: registry.npmjs.org/:tokenHelpe...

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of yet another maximum-severity security flaw in n8n, a popular workflow automation platform, that allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to gain complete control over susceptible instances. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-21858 (CVSS score: 10.0), has been codenamed Ni8mare by Cyera Research Labs. Security researcher Dor Attias has been

A weakness has been identified in carboneio carbone up to fbcd349077ad0e8748be73eab2a82ea92b6f8a7e. This impacts an unknown function of the file lib/input.js of the component Formatter Handler. Executing a manipulation can lead to improperly controlled modification of object prototype attributes. The attack can be launched remotely. This attack is characterized by high complexity. The exploitability is said to be difficult. Upgrading to version 3.5.6 will fix this issue. This patch is called 04f9feb24bfca23567706392f9ad2c53bbe4134e. You should upgrade the affected component. A successful exploitation can "only occur if the parent NodeJS application has the same security issue".

## Summary A **Path Traversal (Zip Slip)** vulnerability exists in MONAI's `_download_from_ngc_private()` function. The function uses `zipfile.ZipFile.extractall()` without path validation, while other similar download functions in the same codebase properly use the existing `safe_extract_member()` function. This appears to be an implementation oversight, as safe extraction is already implemented and used elsewhere in MONAI. **CWE:** CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory) --- ## Details ### Vulnerable Code Location **File:** `monai/bundle/scripts.py` **Lines:** 291-292 **Function:** `_download_from_ngc_private()` ```python # monai/bundle/scripts.py - Lines 284-293 zip_path = download_path / f"{filename}_v{version}.zip" with open(zip_path, "wb") as f: f.write(response.content) logger.info(f"Downloading: {zip_path}.") if remove_prefix: filename = _remove_ngc_prefix(filename, prefix=remove_prefix) extract_path = download_path / f"{filename...

Users of the "@adonisjs/bodyparser" npm package are being advised to update to the latest version following the disclosure of a critical security vulnerability that, if successfully exploited, could allow a remote attacker to write arbitrary files on the server. Tracked as CVE-2026-21440 (CVSS score: 9.2), the flaw has been described as a path traversal issue affecting the AdonisJS multipart

### Impact For sites that allow users to supply untrusted user input, malicious use of an internal function (not part of the [public API](https://vega.github.io/vega/docs/expressions/)) could be used to run unintentional javascript (XSS). ### Patches Fixed in vega-functions `6.1.1` ### Workarounds There is no workaround besides upgrading. Using `vega.expressionInterpreter` as described in [CSP safe mode](https://vega.github.io/vega/usage/interpreter/) does not prevent this issue. ### Exploit Proof of Concept Vega's expression `modify()` [function](https://github.com/vega/vega/blob/d8add5819346e5af597d82ef8253742acc0283ba/packages/vega-functions/src/functions/modify.js#L40), used by setdata, allows attacker to control both the method called and the values supplied, which results to XSS . This was a previous POC: ```json { "$schema": "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega/v6.json", "data": [ { "name": "table", "values": [ {"category": "A", "amount": 2...
