Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new ransomware family called Osiris that targeted a major food service franchisee operator in Southeast Asia in November 2025. The attack leveraged a malicious driver called POORTRY as part of a known technique referred to as bring your own vulnerable driver (BYOVD) to disarm security software, the Symantec and Carbon Black Threat Hunter

Most of this week’s threats didn’t rely on new tricks. They relied on familiar systems behaving exactly as designed, just in the wrong hands. Ordinary files, routine services, and trusted workflows were enough to open doors without forcing them. What stands out is how little friction attackers now need. Some activity focused on quiet reach and coverage, others on timing and reuse. The emphasis

Sysdig TRT analysis reveals VoidLink as a revolutionary Linux threat. Using Serverside Rootkit Compilation and Zig code, it targets AWS and Azure with adaptive stealth.

A new malicious package discovered in the Python Package Index (PyPI) has been found to impersonate a popular library for symbolic mathematics to deploy malicious payloads, including a cryptocurrency miner, on Linux hosts. The package, named sympy-dev, mimics SymPy, replicating the latter's project description verbatim in an attempt to deceive unsuspecting users into thinking that they are

Researchers say the advanced framework was built almost entirely by agents, marking a significant evolution in the use of AI to develop wholly original malware.

The recently discovered sophisticated Linux malware framework known as VoidLink is assessed to have been developed by a single person with assistance from an artificial intelligence (AI) model. That's according to new findings from Check Point Research, which identified operational security blunders by malware's author that provided clues to its developmental origins. The latest insight makes

### Summary A memory leak vulnerability exists in the `LoadOpenCLDeviceBenchmark()` function in `MagickCore/opencl.c`. When parsing a malformed OpenCL device profile XML file that contains `<device` elements without proper `/>` closing tags, the function fails to release allocated memory for string members (`platform_name`, `vendor_name`, `name`, `version`), leading to memory leaks that could result in resource exhaustion. **Affected Version**: ImageMagick 7.1.2-12 and possibly earlier versions --- ### Details The vulnerability is located in `MagickCore/opencl.c`, function `LoadOpenCLDeviceBenchmark()` (lines 754-911). **Root Cause Analysis:** 1. When a `<device` tag is encountered, a `MagickCLDeviceBenchmark` structure is allocated (line 807-812) 2. String attributes (`platform`, `vendor`, `name`, `version`) are allocated via `ConstantString()` (lines 878, 885, 898, 900) 3. These strings are **only freed** when a `/>` closing tag is encountered (lines 840-849) 4. At function ex...

2025 has been a year of innovation in automation for customers of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. Here are just a few stories from customers that exemplify how Ansible Automation Platform has helped organizations turn automation into a foundation for long-term success.Automation as the foundation for enterprise growthIn 2025, automation evolved from a tactical tool into the foundational architecture for organizations to scale, operate, and adapt. Customers adopted Ansible Automation Platform as a centralized automation control plane, integrating it with other platforms like Red Hat Enterp

Automation isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. Organizations managing complex infrastructures often face a divide between Windows management tools and their broader automation strategy to streamline operations, reduce manual overhead, and ensure consistency across environments. That’s where the Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM) Certified Collection for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform comes in, offering a bridge between MECM and automation.What Is the MECM Red Hat Ansible Certified Collection?The Red Hat Ansible Certified Collection for MECM, formerly known as System

In cybersecurity, the line between a normal update and a serious incident keeps getting thinner. Systems that once felt reliable are now under pressure from constant change. New AI tools, connected devices, and automated systems quietly create more ways in, often faster than security teams can react. This week’s stories show how easily a small mistake or hidden service can turn into a real
