The vulnerabilities mentioned in this blog post have been patched by their respective vendors, all in adherence to Cisco’s third-party vulnerability disclosure policy, except for Grassroot, as the

Cisco Talos is tracking the active targeting of Cisco AsyncOS Software for Cisco Secure Email Gateway, formerly known as Cisco Email Security Appliance (ESA), and Cisco Secure Email and Web Manager, formerly known as Cisco Content Security Management Appliance (SMA).

## Summary The `/__vite_rsc_findSourceMapURL` endpoint in `@vitejs/plugin-rsc` allows **unauthenticated arbitrary file read** during development mode. An attacker can read any file accessible to the Node.js process by sending a crafted HTTP request with a `file://` URL in the `filename` query parameter. **Severity:** High **Attack Vector:** Network **Privileges Required:** None **Scope:** Development mode only (`vite dev`) --- ## Impact ### Who Is Affected? - **All developers** using `@vitejs/plugin-rsc` during development - Projects running `vite dev` with the RSC plugin enabled ### Attack Scenarios 1. **Network-Exposed Dev Servers:** When developers run `vite --host 0.0.0.0` (common for mobile testing), attackers on the same network can read files. 2. ~**XSS-Based Attacks:**~ ~If the application has an XSS vulnerability, malicious JavaScript can fetch sensitive files and exfiltrate them.~ 3. ~**Malicious Dependencies:** ~ ~A compromised npm package could incl...

### Impact A Time-of-Check-Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition allows local attackers to corrupt or truncate arbitrary user files through symlink attacks. The vulnerability exists in both Unix and Windows lock file creation where filelock checks if a file exists before opening it with O_TRUNC. An attacker can create a symlink pointing to a victim file in the time gap between the check and open, causing os.open() to follow the symlink and truncate the target file. **Who is impacted:** All users of filelock on Unix, Linux, macOS, and Windows systems. The vulnerability cascades to dependent libraries: - **virtualenv users**: Configuration files can be overwritten with virtualenv metadata, leaking sensitive paths - **PyTorch users**: CPU ISA cache or model checkpoints can be corrupted, causing crashes or ML pipeline failures - **poetry/tox users**: through using virtualenv or filelock on their own. Attack requires local filesystem access and ability to create symlinks (standard user p...

The security vulnerability known as React2Shell is being exploited by threat actors to deliver malware families like KSwapDoor and ZnDoor, according to findings from Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 and NTT Security. "KSwapDoor is a professionally engineered remote access tool designed with stealth in mind," Justin Moore, senior manager of threat intel research at Palo Alto Networks Unit 42, said in a

If you use a smartphone, browse the web, or unzip files on your computer, you are in the crosshairs this week. Hackers are currently exploiting critical flaws in the daily software we all rely on—and in some cases, they started attacking before a fix was even ready. Below, we list the urgent updates you need to install right now to stop these active threats. ⚡ Threat of the Week Apple and

As enterprises refine their strategies for handling Non-Human Identities (NHIs), Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has become a powerful tool for streamlining operations and enhancing security. However, since RPA bots have varying levels of access to sensitive information, enterprises must be prepared to mitigate a variety of challenges. In large organizations, bots are starting to outnumber

A high-severity unpatched security vulnerability in Gogs has come under active exploitation, with more than 700 compromised instances accessible over the internet, according to new findings from Wiz. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2025-8110 (CVSS score: 8.7), is a case of file overwrite in the file update API of the Go-based self-hosted Git service. A fix for the issue is said to be currently in the

### Summary A command injection vulnerability is present in the function tool `run_ssh_command_with_credentials()` available to AI agents. ### Details This is the source code of the function tool `run_ssh_command_with_credentials()` ([code](https://github.com/aliasrobotics/cai/blob/0.5.9/src/cai/tools/command_and_control/sshpass.py#L20)): ```python @function_tool def run_ssh_command_with_credentials( host: str, username: str, password: str, command: str, port: int = 22) -> str: """ Execute a command on a remote host via SSH using password authentication.
