China-Linked Hackers Exploit VMware ESXi Zero-Days to Escape Virtual Machines

Chinese-speaking threat actors are suspected to have leveraged a compromised SonicWall VPN appliance as an initial access vector to deploy a VMware ESXi exploit that may have been developed as far back as February 2024. Cybersecurity firm Huntress, which observed the activity in December 2025 and stopped it before it could progress to the final stage, said it may have resulted in a ransomware

GHSA-g59m-gf8j-gjf5: AWS SDK for Rust v1 adopted defense in depth enhancement for region parameter value

## **Summary** This notification is related to the use of specific values for the region input field when calling AWS services. An actor with access to the environment in which the SDK is used could set the region input field to an invalid value. A defense-in-depth enhancement has been implemented in the AWS SDK for Rust. This enhancement validates that a region used to construct an endpoint URL is a valid host label. The change was released on November 6, 2025. This advisory is informational to help customers understand their responsibilities regarding configuration security. ## **Impact** Customer applications could be configured to improperly route AWS API calls to non-existent or non-AWS hosts. While the SDK was functioning safely within the requirements of the shared responsibility model, additional safeguards have been added to support secure customer implementations. **Impacted versions**: All versions prior to [November 6, 2025 release](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-rus...

GHSA-rjf8-2wcw-f6mp: Salvo is vulnerable to reflected XSS in the list_html function

# Summary The function `list_html` generates an file view of a folder which includes a render of the current path, in which its inserted in the HTML without proper sanitation, leading to reflected XSS. The request path is decoded and normalized in the matching stage but is not inserted raw in the HTML view (current.path). The only constraint here is for the root path (e.g., /files in the PoC example) to have a subdirectory (e. g., common ones like styles/scripts/etc.) so that the matching returns the list HTML page instead of the Not Found page. # Details The vulnerable snippet of code is the following: [**dir.rs**](https://github.com/salvo-rs/salvo/blob/16efeba312a274739606ce76366d921768628654/crates/serve-static/src/dir.rs#L593) ```rust // ... fn list_html(... let mut ftxt = format!( r#"<!DOCTYPE html><html><head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"> <title>{}</title> <style>{}</style></head><body><...

GHSA-54m3-5fxr-2f3j: Salvo is vulnerable to stored XSS in the list_html function by uploading files with malicious names

# Summary The function `list_html` generates a file view of a folder without sanitizing the files or folders names, potentially leading to XSS in cases where a website allows access to public files using this feature, allowing anyone to upload a file. # Details The vulnerable snippet of code is the following: [**dir.rs**](https://github.com/salvo-rs/salvo/blob/16efeba312a274739606ce76366d921768628654/crates/serve-static/src/dir.rs#L581) ```rust // ... fn list_html(... let mut link = "".to_owned(); format!( r#"<a href="/">{}</a>{}"#, HOME_ICON, segments .map(|seg| { link = format!("{link}/{seg}"); format!("/<a href=\"{link}\">{seg}</a>") }) .collect::<Vec<_>>() .join("") ) // ... ``` # PoC https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1e161e17-f033-4cc4-855b-43fd38ed1be4 Here is the example app we used: `mian.rs` ```rs ...

GHSA-vcwh-pff9-64cc: RustFS has IAM Incorrect Authorization in ImportIam that Allows Privilege Escalation

### Summary The `ImportIam` admin API validates permissions using **`ExportIAMAction`** instead of **`ImportIAMAction`**, allowing a principal with *export-only* IAM permissions to perform *import* operations. Since importing IAM data performs privileged **write** actions (creating/updating users, groups, policies, and service accounts), this can lead to **unauthorized IAM modification and privilege escalation**. --- ### Details In `ImportIam`, the authorization check is implemented as follows: ```rust validate_admin_request( &req.headers, &cred, owner, false, vec![Action::AdminAction(AdminAction::ExportIAMAction)], ).await?; ``` However, this code resides in the **Import IAM** operation (`struct ImportIam {}`), which performs **state-changing IAM writes**. The expected behavior is to validate against **`AdminAction::ImportIAMAction`** (or an equivalent import-specific admin action), not `ExportIAMAction`. --- ### PoC **Prerequisites** 1.
