Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a critical vulnerability in the open-source mcp-remote project that could result in the execution of arbitrary operating system (OS) commands. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-6514, carries a CVSS score of 9.6 out of 10.0. "The vulnerability allows attackers to trigger arbitrary OS command execution on the machine running mcp-remote when it
Cryptocurrency users are the target of an ongoing social engineering campaign that employs fake startup companies to trick users into downloading malware that can drain digital assets from both Windows and macOS systems. "These malicious operations impersonate AI, gaming, and Web3 firms using spoofed social media accounts and project documentation hosted on legitimate platforms like Notion and
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered new artifacts associated with an Apple macOS malware called ZuRu, which is known to propagate via trojanized versions of legitimate software. SentinelOne, in a new report shared with The Hacker News, said the malware has been observed masquerading as the cross‑platform SSH client and server‑management tool Termius in late May 2025. "ZuRu malware
The Initial Access Broker (IAB) known as Gold Melody has been attributed to a campaign that exploits leaked ASP.NET machine keys to obtain unauthorized access to organizations and peddle that access to other threat actors. The activity is being tracked by Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 under the moniker TGR-CRI-0045, where "TGR" stands for "temporary group" and "CRI" refers to criminal motivation.
### Summary You can affect the agent binaries used in a Juju controller and the code that is run in the binaries by simply having a user account on a controller. You aren't required to have a model or any permissions. This just requires a user account in the controller database. ### Details Because of the way Juju upload tools code works in the controller it only checks that the user uploading agent binaries is authenticated and is a user tag. No more checks are performed and it allows that user to upload binaries to any model they like (as long as they know the model uuid) or upload binaries to the controller (attacker doesn't need to know any uuid's for controller or controller model). Once the poison binaries have been uploaded any new machine that is started in the affected model or controller will get started with the poison binaries. Alternatively administrator's of the controller running either `juju upgrade-controller` or `juju upgrade-model` will force distribution of the po...
### Impact Any user with a Juju account on a controller can upload a charm to the /charms endpoint. No specific permissions are required - it's just sufficient for the user to exist in the controller user database. A charm which exploits the zip slip vulnerability may be used to allow such a user to get access to a machine running a unit using the affected charm. ### Details A controller exposes three charm-related HTTP API endpoints, as follows: - PUT/GET https://<controller-ip>:17070/model-<model-uuid>/charms/<nameofcharm>-<hashofcharm> - POST/GET https://<controller-ip>:17070/model-<model-uuid>/charms - GET https://<controller-ip>:17070/charms These endpoints require Basic HTTP authentication credentials and will accept any valid user within the context of the controller. A user that has no specific permission or access granted can call all of these APIs. To reproduce: ``` juju bootstrap juju add-user testuser juju change-user-password testuser ``` Download the ZIP file of an...
Researchers have discovered a campaign of malicious browser extensions that were available in the official Chrome and Edge web stores.
Microsoft today released updates to fix at least 137 security vulnerabilities in its Windows operating systems and supported software. None of the weaknesses addressed this month are known to be actively exploited, but 14 of the flaws earned Microsoft's most-dire "critical" rating, meaning they could be exploited to seize control over vulnerable Windows PCs with little or no help from users.
