The fix for bug 60013 introduced a regression where the rewritten URL was normalized before it was decoded. This introduced the possibility that, for rewrite rules that rewrite query parameters to the URL, an attacker could manipulate the request URI to bypass security constraints including the protection for /WEB-INF/ and /META-INF/. If PUT requests were also enabled then malicious files could be uploaded leading to remote code execution. PUT requests are normally limited to trusted users and it is considered unlikely that PUT requests would be enabled in conjunction with a rewrite that manipulated the URI. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.10, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.44, from 9.0.0.M11 through 9.0.108. The following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are known to be affected: 8.5.6 though 8.5.100. Other, older, EOL versions may also be affected. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.11 or later, 10.1.45 or later...

Security, trust, and stability — once the pillars of our digital world — are now the tools attackers turn against us. From stolen accounts to fake job offers, cybercriminals keep finding new ways to exploit both system flaws and human behavior. Each new breach proves a harsh truth: in cybersecurity, feeling safe can be far more dangerous than being alert. Here’s how that false sense of security

Microsoft on Thursday released out-of-band security updates to patch a critical-severity Windows Server Update Service (WSUS) vulnerability with a proof-of-concept (Poc) exploit publicly available and has come under active exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2025-59287 (CVSS score: 9.8), a remote code execution flaw in WSUS that was originally fixed by the tech giant

In this week’s newsletter, Bill explores how open communication about your skills and experience can help your security team uncover hidden gaps, strengthen your defenses, and better prepare for ever-present threats.

A Magento bug called SessionReaper is doing the rounds, and researchers warn it’s letting attackers hijack real shopping sessions.

### Impact **Development mode only**. Kottster contains a pre-authentication remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability when running in development mode. The vulnerability combines two issues: 1. The `initApp` action can be called repeatedly without checking if the app is already initialized, allowing attackers to create a new root admin account and obtain a JWT token 2. The `installPackagesForDataSource` action uses unescaped command arguments, enabling command injection An attacker with access to a locally running development instance can chain these vulnerabilities to: - Reinitialize the application and receive a JWT token for a new root account - Use this token to authenticate - Execute arbitrary system commands through `installPackagesForDataSource` **Production deployments were never affected.** ### Patches Fixed in [v3.3.2](https://github.com/kottster/kottster/releases/tag/v3.3.2). Specifically, `@kottster/server` [v3.3.2](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@kottster/server/v/3...

Criminals don’t need to be clever all the time; they just follow the easiest path in: trick users, exploit stale components, or abuse trusted systems like OAuth and package registries. If your stack or habits make any of those easy, you’re already a target. This week’s ThreatsDay highlights show exactly how those weak points are being exploited — from overlooked

Cisco Talos Incident Response observed a surge in attacks exploiting public-facing applications — mainly via ToolShell targeting SharePoint — for initial access, with post-exploitation phishing and evolving ransomware tactics also persisting this quarter.
