North Korean Hackers Combine BeaverTail and OtterCookie into Advanced JS Malware

The North Korean threat actor linked to the Contagious Interview campaign has been observed merging some of the functionality of two of its malware programs, indicating that the hacking group is actively refining its toolset. That's according to new findings from Cisco Talos, which said recent campaigns undertaken by the hacking group have seen the functions of BeaverTail and OtterCookie coming

Under the engineering hood: Why Malwarebytes chose WordPress as its CMS

It might surprise some that a security company would choose WordPress as the backbone of its digital content operations. Here's what we considered when choosing it.

GHSA-q63q-pgmf-mxhr: Angular SSR has a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) flaw

### Impact The vulnerability is a **Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)** flaw within the URL resolution mechanism of Angular's Server-Side Rendering package (`@angular/ssr`). The function `createRequestUrl` uses the native `URL` constructor. When an incoming request path (e.g., `originalUrl` or `url`) begins with a **double forward slash (`//`) or backslash (`\\`)**, the `URL` constructor treats it as a **schema-relative URL**. This behavior overrides the security-intended base URL (protocol, host, and port) supplied as the second argument, instead resolving the URL against the scheme of the base URL but adopting the attacker-controlled hostname. This allows an attacker to specify an external domain in the URL path, tricking the Angular SSR environment into setting the page's virtual location (accessible via `DOCUMENT` or `PlatformLocation` tokens) to this attacker-controlled domain. Any subsequent **relative HTTP requests** made during the SSR process (e.g., using `HttpClient.get('a...

GHSA-6g2v-66ch-6xmh: LibreNMS alert-rules has a Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

## Executive Summary **Product:** LibreNMS **Vendor:** LibreNMS **Vulnerability Type:** Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) **CVSS Score:** 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) **Affected Version:** 25.8.0 (latest at time of discovery) **POC File:** [Download POC](https://trendmicro-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/p/kholoud_altookhy/EQYQOiGddUtOtz6739YUFU4B5FkNob_TvKBYEA8P6lSRQw?e=lDOR5W) **Ticket:** ZDI-CAN-28105: LibreNMS Alert Rules Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability ## Vulnerability Details ### Description Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative has identified a Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in LibreNMS.

GHSA-2cjv-6wg9-f4f3: Strapi Password Hashing Missing Maximum Password Length Validation

## Summary Strapi's password hashing implementation using bcryptjs lacks maximum password length validation. Since bcryptjs truncates passwords exceeding 72 bytes, this creates potential vulnerabilities such as authentication bypass and performance degradation. ## POC Create an admin user with a password exceeding 72 characters like 85, Log in using only the first 72 characters of the password. Authentication is successful, confirming the issue. Proposed Solution Based on discussions: Add a maximum password length validation (72 characters) during password creation and updates for both Admin and U&P users. Truncate passwords exceeding 72 bytes on the server before passing them to bcryptjs during login. Optionally, issue a warning to users with passwords longer than 72 bytes during login, informing them of truncation. ## Impact This issue affects all Strapi installations using bcryptjs for password hashing. Until resolved, it can lead to: Authentication Bypass: Users may unknowing...

Ilevia EVE X1 Server 4.7.18.0.eden Unauthenticated Reflected XSS

Input passed to the GET parameter 'error' is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML/JS code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

GHSA-4r8w-3jww-m2rp: Strapi is vulnerable to Insufficient Session Expiration

Strapi uses JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication. After logout or account deactivation, the JWT is not invalidated, which allows an attacker who has stolen or intercepted the token to freely reuse it until its expiration date (which is set to 30 days by default, but can be changed). The existence of /admin/renew-token endpoint allows anyone to renew near-expiration tokens indefinitely, further increasing the impact of this attack. This issue has been fixed in version 5.24.1.

BeaverTail and OtterCookie evolve with a new Javascript module

Cisco Talos has uncovered a new attack linked to Famous Chollima, a threat group aligned with North Korea (DPRK).

GHSA-qpm2-6cq5-7pq5: happy-dom's `--disallow-code-generation-from-strings` is not sufficient for isolating untrusted JavaScript

### Summary The mitigation proposed in GHSA-37j7-fg3j-429f for disabling eval/Function when executing untrusted code in happy-dom does not suffice, since it still allows prototype pollution payloads. ### Details The untrusted script and the rest of the application still run in the same Isolate/process, so attackers can deploy prototype pollution payloads to hijack important references like "process" in the example below, or to hijack control flow via flipping checks of undefined property. There might be other payloads that allow the manipulation of require, e.g., via (univeral) gadgets (https://www.usenix.org/system/files/usenixsecurity23-shcherbakov.pdf). ### PoC Attackers can pollute builtins like Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty() to obtain important references at runtime, e.g., "process". In this way, attackers might be able to execute arbitrary commands like in the example below via spawn(). ```js import { Browser } from "happy-dom"; const browser = new Browser({settings: {enab...

GHSA-hwmc-4c8j-xxj7: `sveltekit-superforms` has Prototype Pollution in `parseFormData` function of `formData.js`

### Summary `sveltekit-superforms` v2.27.3 and prior are susceptible to a prototype pollution vulnerability within the `parseFormData` function of `formData.js`. An attacker can inject string and array properties into `Object.prototype`, leading to denial of service, type confusion, and potential remote code execution in downstream applications that rely on polluted objects. ### Details Superforms is a SvelteKit form library for server and client form validation. Under normal operation, form validation is performed by calling the the `superValidate` function, with the submitted form data and a form schema as arguments: ```js // https://superforms.rocks/get-started#posting-data const form = await superValidate(request, your_adapter(schema)); ``` Within the `superValidate` function, a call is made to `parseRequest` in order to parse the user's input. `parseRequest` then calls into `parseFormData`, which in turn looks for the presence of `__superform_json` in the form parameters. If `_...
