Read on to catch up before the next wave hits. Honeypot Traps Hackers Hackers Fall for

**Affected Product:** Parsl (Python Parallel Scripting Library) **Component:** parsl.monitoring.visualization **Vulnerability Type:** SQL Injection (CWE-89) **Severity:** High (CVSS Rating Recommended: 7.5 - 8.6) **URL:** [https://github.com/Parsl/parsl/blob/master/parsl/monitoring/visualization/views.py]( https://github.com/Parsl/parsl/blob/master/parsl/monitoring/visualization/views.py) **Summary** A SQL Injection vulnerability exists in the parsl-visualize component of the Parsl library. The application constructs SQL queries using unsafe string formatting (Python % operator) with user-supplied input (workflow_id) directly from URL routes. This allows an unauthenticated attacker with access to the visualization dashboard to inject arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to data exfiltration or denial of service against the monitoring database. **Root Cause Analysis** The vulnerability is located in parsl/monitoring/visualization/views.py. Multiple route handlers take the...

The year opened without a reset. The same pressure carried over, and in some places it tightened. Systems people assume are boring or stable are showing up in the wrong places. Attacks moved quietly, reused familiar paths, and kept working longer than anyone wants to admit. This week’s stories share one pattern. Nothing flashy. No single moment.

"The campaign employs deceptive delivery techniques, including a weaponized Windows shortcut (LNK) file masquerading as a legitimate PDF document

Attack Surface Management (ASM) tools promise reduced risk. What they usually deliver is more information.  Security teams deploy ASM, asset inventories grow, alerts start flowing, and dashboards fill up. There is visible activity and measurable output. But when leadership asks a simple question, “Is this reducing incidents?” the answer is often unclear.  This gap between effort and

Conventional development frequently results in a trade-off between speed and brand consistency, which harms reputation by causing delays…
