### Summary In 2025, several vulnerabilities in the Go Standard Library were disclosed, impacting Go-based applications like flagd (the evaluation engine for OpenFeature). These CVEs primarily focus on Denial of Service (DoS) through resource exhaustion and Race Conditions in database handling. | CVE ID | Impacted Package | Severity | Description & Impact on flagd | | -- | -- | -- | -- | | CVE-2025-47907 | database/sql | 7.0 (High) | Race Condition: Canceling a query during a Scan call can return data from the wrong query. Critical if flagd uses SQL-based sync providers (e.g., Postgres), potentially leading to incorrect flag configurations. | | CVE-2025-61725 | net/mail | 7.5 (High) | DoS: Inefficient complexity in ParseAddress. Attackers can provide crafted email strings with large domain literals to exhaust CPU if flagd parses email-formatted metadata. | | CVE-2025-61723 | encoding/pem | 7.5 (High) | DoS: Quadratic complexity when parsing invalid PEM inputs. Relevant if flagd loa...

The story you are reading is a series of scoops nestled inside a far more urgent Internet-wide security advisory. The vulnerability at issue has been exploited for months already, and it's time for a broader awareness of the threat. The short version is that everything you thought you knew about the security of the internal network behind your Internet router probably is now dangerously out of date.

The tactics behind protest policing are changing—from one of cooperation to intentional antagonism for political marketing purposes.

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

## Vulnerability Overview ### Description RustFS implements gRPC authentication using a hardcoded static token `"rustfs rpc"` that is: 1. **Publicly exposed** in the source code repository 2. **Hardcoded** on both client and server sides 3. **Non-configurable** with no mechanism for token rotation 4. **Universally valid** across all RustFS deployments Any attacker with network access to the gRPC port can authenticate using this publicly known token and execute privileged operations including data destruction, policy manipulation, and cluster configuration changes. --- ## Vulnerable Code Analysis ### Server-Side Authentication (rustfs/src/server/http.rs:679-686) ```rust #[allow(clippy::result_large_err)] fn check_auth(req: Request<()>) -> std::result::Result<Request<()>, Status> { let token: MetadataValue<_> = "rustfs rpc".parse().unwrap(); // ⚠️ HARDCODED! match req.metadata().get("authorization") { Some(t) if token == t => Ok(req), _ => Err(Status::una...

HoneyMyte (Mustang Panda) is back with a new ToneShell backdoor. Read how this stealthy attack blinds Microsoft Defender to target government entities in Asia.

The threat actor known as Silver Fox has turned its focus to India, using income tax-themed lures in phishing campaigns to distribute a modular remote access trojan called ValleyRAT (aka Winos 4.0). "This sophisticated attack leverages a complex kill chain involving DLL hijacking and the modular Valley RAT to ensure persistence," CloudSEK researchers Prajwal Awasthi and Koushik Pal said in an

KrebsOnSecurity.com celebrates its 16th anniversary today! A huge "thank you" to all of our readers -- newcomers, long-timers and drive-by critics alike. Your engagement this past year here has been tremendous and truly a salve on a handful of dark days. Happily, comeuppance was a strong theme running through our coverage in 2025, with a primary focus on entities that enabled complex and globally-dispersed cybercrime services.

Last week’s cyber news in 2025 was not about one big incident. It was about many small cracks opening at the same time. Tools people trust every day behave in unexpected ways. Old flaws resurfaced. New ones were used almost immediately. A common theme ran through it all in 2025. Attackers moved faster than fixes. Access meant for work, updates, or support kept getting abused. And damage did not
