### Impact In some situations, Strimzi creates an incorrect Kubernetes `Role` which grants the Apache Kafka Connect and Apache Kafka MirrorMaker 2 operands the `GET` access to all Kubernetes Secrets that exist in the given Kubernetes namespace. The exact scenario when this happens is when: * Apache Kafka Connect is deployed without at least one of the following options configured: * TLS encryption with configured trusted certificates (no `.spec.tls.trustedCertificates` section in the `KafkaConnect` CR) * mTLS authentication (no `type: tls` in `.spec.authentication` section of the `KafkaConnect` CR) * TLS encryption with configured trusted certificates for `type: oauth` authentication (no `.spec.authentication.tlsTrustedCertificates` section in the `KafkaConnect` CR) * Apache Kafka MirrorMaker2 is deployed without at least one of the following options configured for the target cluster: * TLS encryption with configured trusted certificates (no `.spec.target.tls.trustedCe...
A new agentic browser attack targeting Perplexity's Comet browser that's capable of turning a seemingly innocuous email into a destructive action that wipes a user's entire Google Drive contents, findings from Straiker STAR Labs show. The zero-click Google Drive Wiper technique hinges on connecting the browser to services like Gmail and Google Drive to automate routine tasks by granting them
### Summary XSS vulnerability in OAuth callback server allows JavaScript injection through unsanitized error parameter. Attackers can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the user's browser during OAuth authentication. ### Details **Vulnerable Code:** `spotipy/oauth2.py` lines 1238-1274 (RequestHandler.do_GET) **The Problem:** During OAuth flow, spotipy starts a local HTTP server to receive callbacks. The server reflects the `error` URL parameter directly into HTML without sanitization. **Vulnerable code at line 1255:** ```python status = f"failed ({self.server.error})" ``` **Then embedded in HTML at line 1265:** ```python self._write(f"""<html> <body> <h1>Authentication status: {status}</h1> </body> </html>""") ``` The `error` parameter comes from URL parsing (lines 388-393) without HTML escaping, allowing script injection. **Attack Flow:** 1. User starts OAuth authentication → local server runs on `http://127.0.0.1:8080` 2. Attacker crafts malicious URL: `http://127.0.0.1:8080/?err...
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
Practicing good “operations security” is essential to staying safe online. Here's a complete guide for teenagers (and anyone else) who wants to button up their digital lives.
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
Mattermost versions 10.12.x <= 10.12.1, 10.11.x <= 10.11.4, 10.5.x <= 10.5.12, 11.0.x <= 11.0.3 fail to properly validate OAuth state tokens during OpenID Connect authentication which allows an authenticated attacker with team creation privileges to take over a user account via manipulation of authentication data during the OAuth completion flow. This requires email verification to be disabled (default: disabled), OAuth/OpenID Connect to be enabled, and the attacker to control two users in the SSO system with one of them never having logged into Mattermost.
Gainsight has disclosed that the recent suspicious activity targeting its applications has affected more customers than previously thought. The company said Salesforce initially provided a list of 3 impacted customers and that it has "expanded to a larger list" as of November 21, 2025. It did not reveal the exact number of customers who were impacted, but its CEO, Chuck Ganapathi, said "we
The threat actor known as ToddyCat has been observed adopting new methods to obtain access to corporate email data belonging to target companies, including using a custom tool dubbed TCSectorCopy. "This attack allows them to obtain tokens for the OAuth 2.0 authorization protocol using the user's browser, which can be used outside the perimeter of the compromised infrastructure to access
ShinyHunters breached Gainsight apps integrated with Salesforce, claiming access to data from 1000 firms using stolen credentials and compromised tokens.
