A threat actor possibly of Russian origin has been attributed to a new set of attacks targeting the energy sector in Kazakhstan. The activity, codenamed Operation BarrelFire, is tied to a new threat group tracked by Seqrite Labs as Noisy Bear. The threat actor has been active since at least April 2025. "The campaign is targeted towards employees of KazMunaiGas or KMG where the threat entity

GhostAction supply chain attack hit 817 GitHub repositories, stealing 3,325 secrets including npm, PyPI, and DockerHub tokens.

A new set of four malicious packages have been discovered in the npm package registry with capabilities to steal cryptocurrency wallet credentials from Ethereum developers. "The packages masquerade as legitimate cryptographic utilities and Flashbots MEV infrastructure while secretly exfiltrating private keys and mnemonic seeds to a Telegram bot controlled by the threat actor," Socket researcher

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered two new malicious packages on the npm registry that make use of smart contracts for the Ethereum blockchain to carry out malicious actions on compromised systems, signaling the trend of threat actors constantly on the lookout for new ways to distribute malware and fly under the radar. "The two npm packages abused smart contracts to conceal malicious

When Claude Code was started in a new directory, it displayed a warning asking, "Do you trust the files in this folder?". This warning did not properly document that selecting "Yes, proceed" would allow Claude Code to execute files in the folder without additional confirmation. This may not have been clear to a user so we have updated the warning to clarify this functionality.  Users on standard Claude Code auto-update will have received this fix automatically. Users performing manual updates are advised to update to the latest version. Thank you to https://hackerone.com/avivdon for reporting this issue!

### Impact A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been discovered in the CKEditor 5 clipboard package. This vulnerability could be triggered by a specific user action, leading to unauthorized JavaScript code execution, if the attacker managed to insert a malicious content into the editor, which might happen with a very specific editor configuration. This vulnerability affects **only** installations where the editor configuration meets one of the following criteria: - [HTML embed plugin](https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/latest/features/html/html-embed.html) is enabled - Custom plugin introducing editable element which implements view [`RawElement`](https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/latest/api/module_engine_view_rawelement-ViewRawElement.html) is enabled ### Patches The problem has been recognized and patched. The fix will be available in version 46.0.3 (and above), and explicitly in version 45.2.2. ### For more information Email us at [security@cksource.com](mailto:secur...

### Summary A command injection vulnerability exists in the `mcp-markdownify-server` MCP Server. The vulnerability is caused by the unsanitized use of input parameters within a call to `child_process.exec`, enabling an attacker to inject arbitrary system commands. Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution under the server process's privileges. The server constructs and executes shell commands using unvalidated user input directly within command-line strings. This introduces the possibility of shell metacharacter injection (`|`, `>`, `&&`, etc.). ### Details The MCP Server exposes tools to perform several file operations. An MCP Client can be instructed to execute additional actions for example via indirect prompt injection when asked to read an `md` file. Below some example of vulnerable code and different ways to test this vulnerability including a real example of indirect prompt injection that can lead to arbitrary command injection. ### Vulnerable code The fo...

### Summary A denial-of-service / out-of-memory vulnerability exists in the `STATUS_SEND_PACKS` handling of `ResourcePackClientResponsePacket`. PocketMine-MP processes the `packIds` array without verifying that all entries are unique. A malicious (non-standard) Bedrock client can send multiple duplicate valid pack UUIDs in the same `STATUS_SEND_PACKS` packet, causing the server to send the same pack multiple times. This can quickly exhaust memory and crash the server. Severity: **High** — Remote DoS from an authenticated client. --- ### Details Relevant code (simplified): ```php case ResourcePackClientResponsePacket::STATUS_SEND_PACKS: foreach($packet->packIds as $uuid){ $splitPos = strpos($uuid, "_"); if($splitPos !== false){ $uuid = substr($uuid, 0, $splitPos); } $pack = $this->getPackById($uuid); if(!($pack instanceof ResourcePack)){ $this->disconnectWithError("Unknown pack $uuid requested..."); ret...

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a malicious npm package that comes with stealthy features to inject malicious code into desktop apps for cryptocurrency wallets like Atomic and Exodus on Windows systems. The package, named nodejs-smtp, impersonates the legitimate email library nodemailer with an identical tagline, page styling, and README descriptions, attracting a total of 347
