Cybersecurity researchers have discovered three malicious Go modules that include obfuscated code to fetch next-stage payloads that can irrevocably overwrite a Linux system's primary disk and render it unbootable. The names of the packages are listed below - github[.]com/truthfulpharm/prototransform github[.]com/blankloggia/go-mcp github[.]com/steelpoor/tlsproxy "Despite appearing legitimate,

Passwords are becoming things of the past. Passkeys are more secure, easier to manage, and speed up the log in process

# Issue Snowflake discovered and remediated a vulnerability in the NodeJS Driver for Snowflake (“Driver”). When using the Easy Logging feature on Linux and macOS the Driver didn’t correctly verify the permissions of the logging configuration file, potentially allowing an attacker with local access to overwrite the configuration and gain control over logging level and output location. This vulnerability affects Driver versions 1.10.0 through 2.0.3. Snowflake fixed the issue in version 2.0.4. # Vulnerability Details When using the Easy Logging feature on Linux and macOS the Driver reads logging configuration from a user-provided file. On Linux and macOS the Driver verifies that the configuration file can be written to only by its owner. That check was vulnerable to a Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition and failed to verify that the file owner matches the user running the Driver. This could allow a local attacker with write access to the configuration file or the direct...

# Issue Snowflake discovered and remediated a vulnerability in the Go Snowflake Driver (“Driver”). When using the Easy Logging feature on Linux and macOS, the Driver didn’t correctly verify the permissions of the logging configuration file, potentially allowing an attacker with local access to overwrite the configuration and gain control over logging level and output location. This vulnerability affects Driver versions from 1.7.0 up to, but not including, 1.13.3.

# Issue Snowflake discovered and remediated a vulnerability in the Snowflake Connector for .NET (“Connector”). When using the Easy Logging feature on Linux and macOS, the Connector didn’t correctly verify the permissions of the logging configuration file, potentially allowing an attacker with local access to overwrite the configuration and gain control over logging level and output location. This vulnerability affects Connector versions 2.1.2 through 4.4.0. Snowflake fixed the issue in version 4.4.1. # Vulnerability Details When using the Easy Logging feature on Linux and macOS, the Connector reads logging configuration from a user-provided file. On Linux and macOS, the Connector verifies that the configuration file can be written to only by its owner. That check was vulnerable to a Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition and failed to verify that the file owner matches the user running the Connector.

Enterprises using Commvault Innovation Release are urged to patch immediately against CVE-2025-34028. This critical flaw allows attackers to…

In this edition, Bill explores how intellectual curiosity drives success in cybersecurity, shares insights on the IAB ToyMaker’s tactics, and covers the top security headlines you need to know.

Cybersecurity researchers have demonstrated a proof-of-concept (PoC) rootkit dubbed Curing that leverages a Linux asynchronous I/O mechanism called io_uring to bypass traditional system call monitoring. This causes a "major blind spot in Linux runtime security tools," ARMO said. "This mechanism allows a user application to perform various actions without using system calls," the company said in

# Prevent token leakage / privilege escalation ## MinIO Operator STS: A Quick Overview MinIO Operator STS is a native IAM Authentication for Kubernetes. MinIO Operator offers support for [Secure Tokens](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/developers/security-token-service.html?ref=op-gh) (a.k.a. STS) which are a form of temporary access credentials for your MinIO Tenant. In essence, this allows you to control access to your MinIO tenant from your applications without having to explicitly create credentials for each application. For an application to gain access into a MinIO Tenant, a `PolicyBinding` resource is required, granting explicit access to the applications by validating the kubernetes [Service Account](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/security/service-accounts/) authorization token. The service account token is validated as follows: 1. The application calls `AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity` API MinIO Operator provides. 2. MinIO Operator verifies the Service Account token agains...
