Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of an active malware campaign called Stealit that has leveraged Node.js' Single Executable Application (SEA) feature as a way to distribute its payloads. According to Fortinet FortiGuard Labs, select iterations have also employed the open-source Electron framework to deliver the malware. It's assessed that the malware is being propagated through

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a new set of 175 malicious packages on the npm registry that have been used to facilitate credential harvesting attacks as part of an unusual campaign. The packages have been collectively downloaded 26,000 times, acting as an infrastructure for a widespread phishing campaign codenamed Beamglea targeting more than 135 industrial, technology, and energy

### Summary Unauthenticated attackers can create or modify API keys for any user by passing that user's id in the request body to the `api/auth/api-key/create` route. ### Details The vulnerability exists in the authentication logic at when checking for user authentication then derives the user as `session?.user ?? (authRequired ? null : { id: ctx.body.userId })`. When no session exists but `userId` is present in the request body, `authRequired` becomes false and the user object is set to the attacker-controlled ID. Server-only field validation only executes when `authRequired` is true (lines 280-295), allowing attackers to set privileged fields. No additional authentication occurs before the database operation, so the malicious payload is accepted. The same pattern exists in the update endpoint. ### PoC ```bash curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/auth/api-key/create \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{ "userId": "victim-user-id", "name": "zeropath"...

### Summary The WriteFileTool in Flowise does not restrict the file path for reading, allowing authenticated attackers to exploit this vulnerability to write arbitrary files to any path in the file system, potentially leading to remote command execution. ### Details Flowise supports providing WriteFileTool for large models, which is used to write files to the server's file system. The implementation of this tool is located at packages/components/nodes/tools/WriteFile/WriteFile.ts. ``` /** * Class for writing data to files on the disk. Extends the StructuredTool * class. */ export class WriteFileTool extends StructuredTool { static lc_name() { return 'WriteFileTool' } schema = z.object({ file_path: z.string().describe('name of file'), text: z.string().describe('text to write to file') }) as any name = 'write_file' description = 'Write file from disk' store: BaseFileStore constructor({ store, ...rest }: WriteFileParams) ...

Cisco Talos has confirmed that ransomware operators are leveraging Velociraptor, an open-source digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) tool that had not previously been definitively tied to ransomware incidents.   We assess with moderate confidence that this activity can be attributed to threat actor Storm-2603, based on overlapping tools

### Summary A file upload vulnerability in FlowiseAI allows authenticated users to upload arbitrary files without proper validation. This enables attackers to persistently store malicious Node.js web shells on the server, potentially leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE). ### Details The system fails to validate file extensions, MIME types, or file content during uploads. As a result, malicious scripts such as Node.js-based web shells can be uploaded and stored persistently on the server. These shells expose HTTP endpoints capable of executing arbitrary commands if triggered. The uploaded shell does not automatically execute, but its presence allows future exploitation via administrator error or chained vulnerabilities. #### Taint Flow - **Taint 01: Route Registration** `POST` file requests are routed to the controller via Multer https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise/blob/d29db16bfcf9a4be8febc3d19d52263e8c3d0055/packages/server/src/routes/attachments/index.ts#L8 - **Taint ...

### Summary Deno versions up to 2.5.1 are vulnerable to Command Line Injection attacks on Windows when batch files are executed. ### Details In Windows, ``CreateProcess()`` always implicitly spawns ``cmd.exe`` if a batch file (.bat, .cmd, etc.) is being executed even if the application does not specify it via the command line. This makes Deno vulnerable to a command injection attack on Windows as demonstrated by the two proves-of-concept below. ### PoC Using `node:child_process` (with the `env` and `run` permissions): ```JS const { spawn } = require('node:child_process'); const child = spawn('./test.bat', ['&calc.exe']); ``` Using `Deno.Command.spawn()` (with the `run` permission): ```JS const command = new Deno.Command('./test.bat', { args: ['&calc.exe'], }); const child = command.spawn(); ``` ### Impact Both of these scripts result in opening calc.exe on Windows, thus allowing a Command Line Injection attack when user-provided arguments are passed if the script being executed by...

Cybersecurity researchers are calling attention to a nefarious campaign targeting WordPress sites to make malicious JavaScript injections that are designed to redirect users to sketchy sites. "Site visitors get injected content that was drive-by malware like fake Cloudflare verification," Sucuri researcher Puja Srivastava said in an analysis published last week. The website security company

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a now-patched vulnerability in the popular figma-developer-mcp Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that could allow attackers to achieve code execution. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-53967 (CVSS score: 7.5), is a command injection bug stemming from the unsanitized use of user input, opening the door to a scenario where an attacker can

One click, total mess. A convincing itch-style page can drop a stealthy stager instead of a game. Here’s how to spot it and what to do if you clicked.
