A misconfiguration in the sudoers file permits passwordless execution of specific Bash shell scripts via sudo, exposing a critical privilege escalation vulnerability. When such scripts are writable by a web-facing user (www-data) or accessible through a command injection vector, an attacker can overwrite or replace them with malicious payloads. Upon execution with sudo, these scripts run with elevated privileges, allowing the attacker to gain full root access remotely.
Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a new malware campaign that has leveraged Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files as part of phishing attacks impersonating the Colombian judicial system. The SVG files, according to VirusTotal, are distributed via email and designed to execute an embedded JavaScript payload, which then decodes and injects a Base64-encoded HTML phishing page masquerading as a
The vulnerability marks the latest example of threat actors weaponizing exposed ASP.NET machine keys for remote injection and deserialization attacks.
APT28 hackers deploy NotDoor backdoor via Microsoft Outlook macros, using OneDrive sideloading to steal data and evade detection.
### Summary A Use-After-Free (UAF) vulnerability has been discovered in the Sdf_PathNode module of the Pixar OpenUSD library. This issue occurs during the deletion of the Sdf_PrimPathNode object in multi-threaded environments, where freed memory is accessed. This results in segmentation faults or bus errors, allowing attackers to potentially exploit the vulnerability for remote code execution (RCE). By using a specially crafted .usd file, an attacker could gain control of the affected system. The vulnerability has been confirmed in multiple OpenUSD tools, including sdfdump, usdtree, usdcat, and sdffilter. ### Patches This is fixed with [commit 0d74f31](https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenUSD/commit/0d74f31fe64310791e274e587c9926335e9db9db), with the fix available in OpenUSD 25.08 and onwards. ### Details The issue is a Use-After-Free vulnerability in the Sdf_PathNode destruction process, specifically in Sdf_PrimPathNode::~Sdf_PrimPathNode(). When multiple threads attempt to...
The Russian state-sponsored hacking group tracked as APT28 has been attributed to a new Microsoft Outlook backdoor called NotDoor in attacks targeting multiple companies from different sectors in NATO member countries.

Cybersecurity researchers have lifted the lid on a previously undocumented threat cluster dubbed GhostRedirector that has managed to compromise at least 65 Windows servers primarily located in Brazil, Thailand, and Vietnam. The attacks, per Slovak cybersecurity company ESET, led to the deployment of a passive C++ backdoor called Rungan and a native Internet Information Services (IIS) module
