New research has uncovered that publishers of over 100 Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extensions leaked access tokens that could be exploited by bad actors to update the extensions, posing a critical software supply chain risk. "A leaked VSCode Marketplace or Open VSX PAT [personal access token] allows an attacker to directly distribute a malicious extension update across the entire install base,"

An estimated 100 million people live with facial differences. As face recognition tech becomes widespread, some say they’re getting blocked from accessing essential systems and services.

Microsoft on Tuesday released fixes for a whopping 183 security flaws spanning its products, including three vulnerabilities that have come under active exploitation in the wild, as the tech giant officially ended support for its Windows 10 operating system unless the PCs are enrolled in the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program. Of the 183 vulnerabilities, eight of them are non-Microsoft

Microsoft has released its monthly security update for October 2025, addressing 175 Microsoft CVEs and 21 non-Microsoft CVEs. Among these, 17 vulnerabilities are considered critical and 11 are flagged as important and considered more likely to be exploited.

This advisory also provides guidance on what developers can do to update their applications to address this vulnerability. Inconsistent interpretation of http requests ('http request/response smuggling') in ASP.NET Core allows an authorized attacker to bypass a security feature over a network. ## Discussion Discussion for this issue can be found at https://github.com/dotnet/announcements/issues/372 ### <a name="mitigation-factors"></a>Mitigation factors Microsoft has not identified any mitigating factors for this vulnerability. ## <a name="affected-software"></a>Affected software * Any ASP.NET Core 10.0 application running on ASP.NET Core 10.0.0-rc.1.25451.107 or earl...

Every October brings a familiar rhythm - pumpkin-spice everything in stores and cafés, alongside a wave of reminders, webinars, and checklists in my inbox. Halloween may be just around the corner, yet for those of us in cybersecurity, Security Awareness Month is the true seasonal milestone. Make no mistake, as a security professional, I love this month. Launched by CISA and the National

Chipmaker AMD has released fixes to address a security flaw dubbed RMPocalypse that could be exploited to undermine confidential computing guarantees provided by Secure Encrypted Virtualization with Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP). The attack, per ETH Zürich researchers Benedict Schlüter and Shweta Shinde, exploits AMD's incomplete protections that make it possible to perform a single memory

Cybersecurity researchers have identified several malicious packages across npm, Python, and Ruby ecosystems that leverage Discord as a command-and-control (C2) channel to transmit stolen data to actor-controlled webhooks. Webhooks on Discord are a way to post messages to channels in the platform without requiring a bot user or authentication, making them an attractive mechanism for attackers to

No cwe for this issue in Azure Connected Machine Agent allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L) and the privilege required is none (PR:L). What privileges could an attacker gain with successful exploitation?** A local user could take advantage of this vulnerability and perform elevation of privilege (EOP). By successfully exploiting this vulnerability, the attacker could elevate their privileges to obtain root level access on the virtual machine.
