North Korean attackers have delivered more than 197 malicious packages with 31K-plus downloads since Oct. 10, as part of ongoing state-sponsored activity to compromise software developers.
### Impact Multiple (unprefixed) classnames could be added in markdown source by using character references. This could make rendered user supplied markdown `code` elements appear like the rest of the page. The following markdown: ````markdown ```js xss ``` ```` Would create `<pre><code class="language-js xss"></code></pre>` If your page then applied `.xss` classes (or listeners in JS), those apply to this element. For more info see <https://github.com/ChALkeR/notes/blob/master/Improper-markup-sanitization.md#unsanitized-class-attribute> ### Patches The bug was patched. When using regular semver, run `npm install`. For exact ranges, make sure to use `13.2.1`. ### Workarounds Update. ### References * bug introduced in https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast-util-to-hast/commit/6fc783ae6abdeb798fd5a68e7f3f21411dde7403 * bug fixed in https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast-util-to-hast/commit/ab3a79570a1afbfa7efef5d4a0cd9b5caafbc5d7
### Summary The `MCPScanner ` class contains a critical Command Injection vulnerability in the `cloneRepo `method. The application passes the user-supplied githubUrl argument directly to a system shell via execSync without sanitization. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the host machine by appending shell metacharacters to the URL. ### Details The vulnerability exists in the src/scanner/MCPScanner.ts file within the cloneRepo method. [https://github.com/kapilduraphe/mcp-watch/blob/0fca7228bd313ae5aa938d61311377e88ce6e682/src/scanner/McpScanner.ts#L181](https://github.com/kapilduraphe/mcp-watch/blob/0fca7228bd313ae5aa938d61311377e88ce6e682/src/scanner/McpScanner.ts#L181) The code uses child_process.execSync to execute a git clone command: Because execSync spawns a shell (defaulting to `/bin/sh` on Unix or` cmd.exe` on Windows), any shell metacharacters present in the url argument will be interpreted by the shell. The application does not validate that the url ...
### Summary A DoS can occur that immediately halts the system due to the use of an unsafe function. ### Details According to **RFC 5322**, nested group structures (a group inside another group) are not allowed. Therefore, in lib/addressparser/index.js, the email address parser performs flattening when nested groups appear, since such input is likely to be abnormal. (If the address is valid, it is added as-is.) In other words, the parser flattens all nested groups and inserts them into the final group list. However, the code implemented for this flattening process can be exploited by malicious input and triggers DoS RFC 5322 uses a colon (:) to define a group, and commas (,) are used to separate members within a group. At the following location in lib/addressparser/index.js: https://github.com/nodemailer/nodemailer/blob/master/lib/addressparser/index.js#L90 there is code that performs this flattening. The issue occurs when the email address parser attempts to process the following k...
Hackers aren’t kicking down the door anymore. They just use the same tools we use every day — code packages, cloud accounts, email, chat, phones, and “trusted” partners — and turn them against us. One bad download can leak your keys. One weak vendor can expose many customers at once. One guest invite, one link on a phone, one bug in a common tool, and suddenly your mail, chats, repos, and
The latest attack from the self-replicating npm-package poisoning worm can also steal credentials and secrets from AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Azure.
Tryton sao (aka tryton-sao) before 7.6.11 allows XSS because it does not escape completion values. This is fixed in 7.6.11, 7.4.21, 7.0.40, and 6.0.69.
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered vulnerable code in legacy Python packages that could potentially pave the way for a supply chain compromise on the Python Package Index (PyPI) via a domain takeover attack. Software supply chain security company ReversingLabs said it found the "vulnerability" in bootstrap files provided by a build and deployment automation tool named "zc.buildout." "The
The North Korean threat actors behind the Contagious Interview campaign have continued to flood the npm registry with 197 more malicious packages since last month. According to Socket, these packages have been downloaded over 31,000 times, and are designed to deliver a variant of OtterCookie that brings together the features of BeaverTail and prior versions of OtterCookie. Some of the
Hackers have been busy again this week. From fake voice calls and AI-powered malware to huge money-laundering busts and new scams, there’s a lot happening in the cyber world. Criminals are getting creative — using smart tricks to steal data, sound real, and hide in plain sight. But they’re not the only ones moving fast. Governments and security teams are fighting back, shutting down fake
