From unpatched cars to hijacked clouds, this week’s Threatsday headlines remind us of one thing — no corner of technology is safe. Attackers are scanning firewalls for critical flaws, bending vulnerable SQL servers into powerful command centers, and even finding ways to poison Chrome’s settings to sneak in malicious extensions. On the defense side, AI is stepping up to block ransomware in real
Cisco Talos is disclosing details on UAT-8099, a Chinese-speaking cybercrime group mainly involved in SEO fraud and theft of high-value credentials, configuration files, and certificate data.
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered two Android spyware campaigns dubbed ProSpy and ToSpy that impersonate apps like Signal and ToTok to target users in the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.). Slovak cybersecurity company ESET said the malicious apps are distributed via fake websites and social engineering to trick unsuspecting users into downloading them. Once installed, both the spyware
Ransomware has evolved from a niche hacker tactic into a mainstream threat, and small businesses are increasingly in…
### Summary The `/mpl/<port>/<route>` endpoint, which is accessible without authentication on default Marimo installations allows for external attackers to reach internal services and arbitrary ports. ### Details This route is used internally to provide access to interactive matplotlib visualizations. [marimo/marimo/_server/main.py at main · marimo-team/marimo](https://github.com/marimo-team/marimo/blob/main/marimo/_server/main.py) This endpoint functions as an unauthenticated proxy, allowing an attacker to connect to any service running on the local machine via the specified `<port>` and `<route>`. The existence of this proxy is visible in the application's code (marimo/_server/main.py), but there's no official documentation or warning about its behavior or potential risks. ### Impact CWE-441: Proxying Without Authentication This vulnerability, as it can be used to bypass firewalls and access internal services that are intended to be local-only. The level of impact depends ent...
In yet another piece of research, academics from Georgia Institute of Technology and Purdue University have demonstrated that the security guarantees offered by Intel's Software Guard eXtensions (SGX) can be bypassed on DDR4 systems to passively decrypt sensitive data. SGX is designed as a hardware feature in Intel server processors that allows applications to be run in a Trusted Execution
Bitcoin was created with strong cryptography, based on mathematical problems so complex that even the most powerful computers…
A group of academics from KU Leuven and the University of Birmingham has demonstrated a new vulnerability called Battering RAM to bypass the latest defenses on Intel and AMD cloud processors. "We built a simple, $50 interposer that sits quietly in the memory path, behaving transparently during startup and passing all trust checks," researchers Jesse De Meulemeester, David Oswald, Ingrid
Researchers found several security problems in Life360's Tile trackers, most of which could be solved with encryption.
Google has launched a new AI-based protection in Drive for desktop that can shut down an attack before it spreads—but its benefits have their limits.
