Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a persistent nine-month-long campaign that has targeted Internet of Things (IoT) devices and web applications to enroll them into a botnet known as RondoDox. As of December 2025, the activity has been observed leveraging the recently disclosed React2Shell (CVE-2025-55182, CVSS score: 10.0) flaw as an initial access vector, CloudSEK said in an

### Summary A command injection vulnerability exists in the Serverless Framework's built-in MCP server package (@serverless/mcp). This vulnerability only affects users of the experimental MCP server feature (serverless mcp), which represents less than 0.1% of Serverless Framework users. The core Serverless Framework CLI and deployment functionality are not affected. The vulnerability is caused by the unsanitized use of input parameters within a call to `child_process.exec`, enabling an attacker to inject arbitrary system commands. Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution under the server process's privileges. 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 several tools, including the `list-project`. The values of the parameter `workspaceRoots` (controlled by the user) is ...

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of what appears to be a new strain of Shai Hulud on the npm registry with slight modifications from the previous wave observed last month. The npm package that embeds the novel Shai Hulud strain is "@vietmoney/react-big-calendar," which was uploaded to npm back in March 2021 by a user named "hoquocdat." It was updated for the first time on

## Vulnerability Overview ### Description RustFS implements gRPC authentication using a hardcoded static token `"rustfs rpc"` that is: 1. **Publicly exposed** in the source code repository 2. **Hardcoded** on both client and server sides 3. **Non-configurable** with no mechanism for token rotation 4. **Universally valid** across all RustFS deployments Any attacker with network access to the gRPC port can authenticate using this publicly known token and execute privileged operations including data destruction, policy manipulation, and cluster configuration changes. --- ## Vulnerable Code Analysis ### Server-Side Authentication (rustfs/src/server/http.rs:679-686) ```rust #[allow(clippy::result_large_err)] fn check_auth(req: Request<()>) -> std::result::Result<Request<()>, Status> { let token: MetadataValue<_> = "rustfs rpc".parse().unwrap(); // ⚠️ HARDCODED! match req.metadata().get("authorization") { Some(t) if token == t => Ok(req), _ => Err(Status::una...

### Summary The `arrayLimit` option in qs does not enforce limits for bracket notation (`a[]=1&a[]=2`), allowing attackers to cause denial-of-service via memory exhaustion. Applications using `arrayLimit` for DoS protection are vulnerable. ### Details The `arrayLimit` option only checks limits for indexed notation (`a[0]=1&a[1]=2`) but completely bypasses it for bracket notation (`a[]=1&a[]=2`). **Vulnerable code** (`lib/parse.js:159-162`): ```javascript if (root === '[]' && options.parseArrays) { obj = utils.combine([], leaf); // No arrayLimit check } ``` **Working code** (`lib/parse.js:175`): ```javascript else if (index <= options.arrayLimit) { // Limit checked here obj = []; obj[index] = leaf; } ``` The bracket notation handler at line 159 uses `utils.combine([], leaf)` without validating against `options.arrayLimit`, while indexed notation at line 175 checks `index <= options.arrayLimit` before creating arrays. ### PoC **Test 1 - Basic bypass:** ```bash npm i...

### Summary The callback and **jsonp** request parameters are directly concatenated into the response without any sanitization that allowing attackers to inject arbitrary JS code. When **YOURLS_PRIVATE** is set to **false** (public API mode), this vulnerability can be exploited by any unauthenticated attacker. In private mode, the XSS payload is still injected into the 403 response body though browser execution is blocked. ### Details Vulnerability exists in the JSONP callback handling chain: ``` yourls-api.php:127-128 if( isset( $_REQUEST['callback'] ) ) $return['callback'] = $_REQUEST['callback']; elseif ( isset( $_REQUEST['jsonp'] ) ) $return['callback'] = $_REQUEST['jsonp']; ``` --- ``` includes/functions-api.php:127-128 $callback = isset( $output['callback'] ) ? $output['callback'] : ''; $result = $callback . '(' . json_encode( $output ) . ')'; ``` ### PoC I. YOURLS instance with YOURLS_PRIVATE set to false in config.php or user authenticated to a private YOURLS...

### Summary A Zip Slip vulnerability in PsiTransfer allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload files with path traversal sequences in the filename (e.g. `../../../.ssh/authorized_keys`). When a victim downloads the bucket as a **.tar.gz** archive and extracts it, malicious files are written outside the intended directory, potentially leading to RCE. ### Details The vulnerability exists in the archive download functionality in **lib/endpoints.js** where user controlled metadata.name is used directly without sanitization when creating TAR archive entries. ``` lib/endpoints.js:275 const entry = pack.entry({ name: info.metadata.name, size: info.size }); ``` ``` lib/endpoints.js:372 assert(meta.name, 'tus meta prop missing: name'); ``` ### PoC I. Upload file with malicious filename (no authentication required). ``` MALICIOUS_NAME=$(echo -n "../../../tmp/dp.txt" | base64) SID=$(echo -n "evil" | base64) RETENTION=$(echo -n "3600" | base64) curl -X POST http://TARGET:3000/files \ ...

## Summary When a server calls an upstream service using different auth tokens, axios-cache-interceptor returns incorrect cached responses, leading to authorization bypass. ## Details The cache key is generated only from the URL, ignoring request headers like `Authorization`. When the server responds with `Vary: Authorization` (indicating the response varies by auth token), the library ignores this, causing all requests to share the same cache regardless of authorization. ## Impact **Affected:** Server-side applications (APIs, proxies, backend services) that: - Use axios-cache-interceptor to cache requests to upstream services - Handle requests from multiple users with different auth tokens - Upstream services replies on `Vary` to differentiate caches **Not affected:** Browser/client-side applications (single user per browser session). Services using different auth tokens to call upstream services will return incorrect cached data, bypassing authorization checks and leaking use...

A NestJS application is vulnerable if it meets all of the following criteria: 1. Platform: Uses `@nestjs/platform-fastify`. 2. Security Mechanism: Relies on `NestMiddleware` (via `MiddlewareConsumer`) for security checks (authentication, authorization, etc.), or through `app.use()` 3. Routing: Applies middleware to specific routes using string paths or controllers (e.g., `.forRoutes('admin')`). Example Vulnerable Config: ```ts // app.module.ts export class AppModule implements NestModule { configure(consumer: MiddlewareConsumer) { consumer .apply(AuthMiddleware) // Security check .forRoutes('admin'); // Vulnerable: Path-based restriction } } ``` Attack Vector: - Target Route: `/admin` - Middleware Path: `admin` - Attack Request: `GET /%61dmin` - Result: Middleware is skipped (no match on `%61dmin`), but controller for `/admin` is executed. Consequences: - Authentication Bypass: Unauthenticated users can access protected routes. - Authorization Bypass: Restri...

### Summary An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger generation of a configuration backup ZIP via `POST /api/setup/backup` and then download the generated ZIP from a web-accessible location. The ZIP contains sensitive configuration files (e.g., `database.php` with database credentials), leading to high-impact information disclosure and potential follow-on compromise. ### Details The endpoint `/api/setup/backup` is reachable via default rewrite rules and does not enforce authentication/authorization or API token verification. When called with any non-empty body (used as an “installed version” string), the server creates a ZIP archive inside the configuration directory and returns a direct URL to the generated ZIP file. Relevant code paths: - Rewrite rule exposing the endpoint: - `phpmyfaq/.htaccess`: `RewriteRule ^api/setup/(check|backup|update-database) api/index.php [L,QSA]` - Controller implementation: - `phpmyfaq/src/phpMyFAQ/Controller/Api/SetupController.php` → `backup...
