ThreatsDay Bulletin: AI Malware, Voice Bot Flaws, Crypto Laundering, IoT Attacks — and 20 More Stories

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

The Destruction of a Notorious Myanmar Scam Compound Appears to Have Been ‘Performative’

Myanmar’s military has been blowing up parts of the KK Park scam compound. Experts say the actions are likely for show.

When Your $2M Security Detection Fails: Can your SOC Save You?

Enterprises today are expected to have at least 6-8 detection tools, as detection is considered a standard investment and the first line of defense. Yet security leaders struggle to justify dedicating resources further down the alert lifecycle to their superiors. As a result, most organizations' security investments are asymmetrical, robust detection tools paired with an under-resourced SOC,

GHSA-66jq-2c23-2xh5: VictoriaMetrics' Snappy Decoder DoS Vulnerability is Causing OOM

### Impact Affected versions are vulnerable to DoS attacks because the snappy decoder ignored VictoriaMetrics request size limits allowing malformed blocks to trigger excessive memory use. This could lead to OOM errors and service instability. The fix enforces block-size checks based on MaxRequest limits. ### Patches Versions 1.129.1, 1.122.8, 1.110.23 ### Resources - https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases/tag/v1.129.1 - https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases/tag/v1.122.8 - https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases/tag/v1.110.23 ### Note VictoriaMetrics' security model assumes its APIs are properly secured (e.g. via access control flags or a firewall); this advisory addresses malicious input that should not be possible under a [correctly secured](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/single-server-victoriametrics/#security) deployment.

GHSA-6gxw-85q2-q646: Grype has a credential disclosure vulnerability in its JSON output

A credential disclosure vulnerability was found in Grype, affecting versions `v0.68.0` through `v0.104.0`. If registry credentials are defined and the output of grype is written using the `--file` or `--output json=<file>` option, the registry credentials will be included unsanitized in the output file. ## Impact In Grype versions `v0.68.0` through `v0.104.0`, when registry authentication is configured, those credentials can be incorrectly included in the output of a Grype scan (regardless of whether those credentials are actively being used for the current scan). Users that do not have registry authentication configured are not affected by this issue. Registry credentials can be set via the Grype configuration file (e.g. `registry.auth[].username`, `registry.auth[].password`, `registry.auth[].token`) or environment variables (e.g., `GRYPE_REGISTRY_AUTH_USERNAME`, `GRYPE_REGISTRY_AUTH_PASSWORD`, `GRYPE_REGISTRY_AUTH_TOKEN`). In order for the authentication details to be improperly ...

GHSA-7j46-f57w-76pj: Formwork CMS has Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerebility in Blog Tags

### Summary Inserting unsanitized data into the blog tag field in Formwork CMS results in stored cross‑site scripting (XSS). Any user with credentials to the Formwork CMS who accesses or edits an affected blog post will have attacker‑controlled script executed in their browser. Because the issue is persistent and impacts privileged administrative workflows, the severity is elevated. ### Details Formwork CMS fails to properly sanitize data inserted into tags, before saving them and rendering them into the edit blog interface. When a specially crafted tag becomes saved as a tag into the system, it is unable to be removed. Any attempt to remove the tag from the affected post, causes the XSS to trigger once again. Additionally, once the malicious tag is present, managing standard tags becomes impossible. This is due to script execution on attempted modification. This leads to a form of interface lockout where the payload continually reinserts itself due to the stored, unsafe rendering....

GHSA-69j4-grxj-j64p: vLLM vulnerable to DoS via large Chat Completion or Tokenization requests with specially crafted `chat_template_kwargs`

### Summary The /v1/chat/completions and /tokenize endpoints allow a `chat_template_kwargs` request parameter that is used in the code before it is properly validated against the chat template. With the right `chat_template_kwargs` parameters, it is possible to block processing of the API server for long periods of time, delaying all other requests ### Details In serving_engine.py, the chat_template_kwargs are unpacked into kwargs passed to chat_utils.py `apply_hf_chat_template` with no validation on the keys or values in that chat_template_kwargs dict. This means they can be used to override optional parameters in the `apply_hf_chat_template` method, such as `tokenize`, changing its default from False to True. https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/2a6dc67eb520ddb9c4138d8b35ed6fe6226997fb/vllm/entrypoints/openai/serving_engine.py#L809-L814 https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/2a6dc67eb520ddb9c4138d8b35ed6fe6226997fb/vllm/entrypoints/chat_utils.py#L1602-L1610 Both serving_...

Application Containment: How to Use Ringfencing to Prevent the Weaponization of Trusted Software

The challenge facing security leaders is monumental: Securing environments where failure is not an option. Reliance on traditional security postures, such as Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) to chase threats after they have already entered the network, is fundamentally risky and contributes significantly to the half-trillion-dollar annual cost of cybercrime. Zero Trust fundamentally shifts
