A new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered penetration testing tool linked to a China-based company has attracted nearly 11,000 downloads on the Python Package Index (PyPI) repository, raising concerns that it could be repurposed by cybercriminals for malicious purposes. Dubbed Villager, the framework is assessed to be the work of Cyberspike, which has positioned the tools as a red teaming
### Summary The extractall function ```zip_file.extractall(output_dir)``` is used directly to process compressed files. It is used in many places in the project. When the Zip file containing malicious content is decompressed, it will overwrite the system files. In addition, the project allows the download of the zip content through the link, which increases the scope of exploitation of this vulnerability. When reproducing locally, follow the process below to create a malicious zip file and simulate the process of remotely downloading the zip file. ``` root@autodl-container-a53c499c18-c5ca272d:~/autodl-tmp/mmm# mkdir -p test_bundle root@autodl-container-a53c499c18-c5ca272d:~/autodl-tmp/mmm# echo "malicious content" > test_bundle/malicious.txt root@autodl-container-a53c499c18-c5ca272d:~/autodl-tmp/mmm# cd test_bundle root@autodl-container-a53c499c18-c5ca272d:~/autodl-tmp/mmm/test_bundle# zip -r ../malicious.zip . ../../../../../../etc/passwd adding: malicious.txt (stored 0%) addi...
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a variant of a recently disclosed campaign that abuses the TOR network for cryptojacking attacks targeting exposed Docker APIs. Akamai, which discovered the latest activity last month, said it's designed to block other actors from accessing the Docker API from the internet. The findings build on a prior report from Trend Micro in late June 2025, which
At least 18 popular JavaScript code packages that are collectively downloaded more than two billion times each week were briefly compromised with malicious software today, after a developer involved in maintaining the projects was phished. The attack appears to have been quickly contained and was narrowly focused on stealing cryptocurrency. But experts warn that a similar attack with a slightly more nefarious payload could quickly lead to a disruptive malware outbreak that is far more difficult to detect and restrain.
# Summary pREST provides a simple way for users to expose access their database via a REST-full API. The project is implemented using the Go programming language and is designed to expose access to Postgres database tables. During an independent review of the project, Doyensec engineers found that SQL injection is a systemic problem in the current implementation (version `v2.0.0-rc2`). Even though there are several instances of attempts to sanitize user input and mitigate injection attempts, we have found that on most code-paths, the protection is faulty or non-existent. ## Core Endpoints The main functionality providing REST operations on the data stored in the Postgres database is exposed via the following endpoints: - `GET /{database}/{schema}/{table}` - `POST /{database}/{schema}/{table}` - `PUT|PATCH /{database}/{schema}/{table}` - `DELETE /{database}/{schema}/{table}` Handlers for the above endpoints execute very similar logic. At a high-level they: 1. Perform authenticati...
Cybersecurity never slows down. Every week brings new threats, new vulnerabilities, and new lessons for defenders. For security and IT teams, the challenge is not just keeping up with the news—it’s knowing which risks matter most right now. That’s what this digest is here for: a clear, simple briefing to help you focus where it counts. This week, one story stands out above the rest: the
The Confidential Clusters project integrates confidential computing technology into Kubernetes clusters. It's an end-to-end solution that provides data confidentiality on cloud platforms by isolating a cluster from its underlying infrastructure. In a confidential cluster, all nodes run on top of confidential virtual machines (cVM). Before a node can join the cluster and access secrets, the platform and environment's authenticity are verified through remote attestation. This process involves communication with a trusted remote server.Confidential Clusters enables you to use Red Hat OpenShift,
Attackers can create/override arbitrary files with uncontrolled data. For a PoC, spin up an instance of soft-serve as explained in the README, and execute the following command: ```sh ssh -p23231 localhost repo commit icecream -- --output=/tmp/pwned ``` It should have created a file in `/tmp/pwned`.
View CSAF 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CVSS v4 9.4 ATTENTION: Exploitable from an adjacent network/low attack complexity Vendor: SunPower Equipment: PVS6 Vulnerability: Use of Hard-Coded Credentials 2. RISK EVALUATION Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow attackers to gain full access to the device, enabling them to replace firmware, modify settings, disable the device, create SSH tunnels, and manipulate attached devices. 3. TECHNICAL DETAILS 3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS The following versions of SunPower PVS6 are affected: PVS6: Versions 2025.06 build 61839 and prior 3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW 3.2.1 USE OF HARD-CODED CREDENTIALS CWE-798 The SunPower PVS6's BluetoothLE interface is vulnerable due to its use of hardcoded encryption parameters and publicly accessible protocol details. An attacker within Bluetooth range could exploit this vulnerability to gain full access to the device's servicing interface. This access allows the attacker to perform actions such as firmware replacem...
Cybersecurity today is less about single attacks and more about chains of small weaknesses that connect into big risks. One overlooked update, one misused account, or one hidden tool in the wrong hands can be enough to open the door. The news this week shows how attackers are mixing methods—combining stolen access, unpatched software, and clever tricks to move from small entry points to large
