Jordanian man pleads guilty to selling stolen corporate logins in FBI sting after extradition from Georgia; tied to access of 50+ company networks.
In cybersecurity, the line between a normal update and a serious incident keeps getting thinner. Systems that once felt reliable are now under pressure from constant change. New AI tools, connected devices, and automated systems quietly create more ways in, often faster than security teams can react. This week’s stories show how easily a small mistake or hidden service can turn into a real
Resecurity has identified PDFSIDER malware that exploits the legitimate PDF24 App to covertly steal data and allow remote access. Learn how this APT-level campaign targets corporate networks through spear-phishing and encrypted communications.
A local file inclusion vulnerability exists in the Crawl4AI Docker API. The /execute_js, /screenshot, /pdf, and /html endpoints accept file:// URLs, allowing attackers to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem. Attack Vector: ```json POST /execute_js { "url": "file:///etc/passwd", "scripts": ["document.body.innerText"] } ``` Impact An unauthenticated attacker can: - Read sensitive files (/etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, application configs) - Access environment variables via /proc/self/environ - Discover internal application structure - Potentially read credentials and API keys Workarounds 1. Disable the Docker API 2. Add authentication to the API 3. Use network-level filtering

The internet never stays quiet. Every week, new hacks, scams, and security problems show up somewhere. This week’s stories show how fast attackers change their tricks, how small mistakes turn into big risks, and how the same old tools keep finding new ways to break in. Read on to catch up before the next wave hits. Unauthenticated RCE risk Security Flaw in Redis
As AI copilots and assistants become embedded in daily work, security teams are still focused on protecting the models themselves. But recent incidents suggest the bigger risk lies elsewhere: in the workflows that surround those models. Two Chrome extensions posing as AI helpers were recently caught stealing ChatGPT and DeepSeek chat data from over 900,000 users. Separately, researchers
### Impact html2pdf.js contains a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability when given a text source rather than an element. This text is not sufficiently sanitized before being attached to the DOM, allowing malicious scripts to be run on the client browser and risking the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the page's data. Example attack vector: ```js import html2pdf from 'html2pdf.js/src/index.js'; const maliciousHTML = '<img src=x onerror="alert(document.cookie)">'; html2pdf(maliciousHTML); // or html2pdf().from(maliciousHTML); ``` ### Patches This vulnerability has been fixed in html2pdf.js@0.14.0 to sanitize text sources using DOMPurify. There are no other breaking changes in this version. ### Workarounds Users of earlier versions of html2pdf.js must safely sanitize any text before using it as a source in html2pdf.js. ### References - Initial report: https://github.com/eKoopmans/html2pdf.js/issues/865 - Fix: https://github.com/eKoopmans/html2pdf.js/pull/877, [v0....
Security experts have disclosed details of an active malware campaign that's exploiting a DLL side-loading vulnerability in a legitimate binary associated with the open-source c-ares library to bypass security controls and deliver a wide range of commodity trojans and stealers. "Attackers achieve evasion by pairing a malicious libcares-2.dll with any signed version of the legitimate ahost.exe (
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a malicious Google Chrome extension that's capable of stealing API keys associated with MEXC, a centralized cryptocurrency exchange (CEX) available in over 170 countries, while masquerading as a tool to automate trading on the platform. The extension, named MEXC API Automator (ID: pppdfgkfdemgfknfnhpkibbkabhghhfh), has 29 downloads and is still
