Webinar: Learn to Spot Risks and Patch Safely with Community-Maintained Tools

If you're using community tools like Chocolatey or Winget to keep systems updated, you're not alone. These platforms are fast, flexible, and easy to work with—making them favorites for IT teams. But there’s a catch... The very tools that make your job easier might also be the reason your systems are at risk. These tools are run by the community. That means anyone can add or update packages. Some

GHSA-932v-x9x2-vq29: Hive Metastore Server is vulnerable to SQL Injection

SQL injection vulnerability in Hive Metastore Server (HMS) when processing delete column statistics requests via the Thrift APIs. The vulnerability is only exploitable by trusted/authorized users/applications that are allowed to call directly the Thrift APIs. In most real-world deployments, HMS is accessible to only a handful of applications (e.g., Hiveserver2) thus the vulnerability is not exploitable. Moreover, the vulnerable code cannot be reached when metastore.try.direct.sql property is set to false. This issue affects Apache Hive: from 4.1.0 before 4.2.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.2.0, which fixes the issue. Users who cannot upgrade directly are encouraged to set metastore.try.direct.sql property to false if the HMS Thrift APIs are exposed to general public.

RomCom Uses SocGholish Fake Update Attacks to Deliver Mythic Agent Malware

The threat actors behind a malware family known as RomCom targeted a U.S.-based civil engineering company via a JavaScript loader dubbed SocGholish to deliver the Mythic Agent. "This is the first time that a RomCom payload has been observed being distributed by SocGholish," Arctic Wolf Labs researcher Jacob Faires said in a Tuesday report. The activity has been attributed with medium-to-high

FBI Reports $262M in ATO Fraud as Researchers Cite Growing AI Phishing and Holiday Scams

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has warned that cybercriminals are impersonating financial institutions with an aim to steal money or sensitive information to facilitate account takeover (ATO) fraud schemes. The activity targets individuals, businesses, and organizations of varied sizes and across sectors, the agency said, adding the fraudulent schemes have led to more than $262

Tracking event-driven automation with Red Hat Lightspeed and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6

As organizations shift from reactive automation to proactive and intelligence-driven operations, Event-Driven Ansible continues to gain momentum. By combining real-time system insights from Red Hat Lightspeed (formerly Red Hat Insights) with Event-Driven Ansible rulebooks, teams can automatically respond to security risks, configuration changes, compliance findings, and operational anomalies, without waiting for human intervention. With Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6, we introduced a small but meaningful enhancement that strengthens trust and observability in automated operations. Any

GHSA-x6vr-q3vf-vqgq: REDAXO CMS is vulnerable to Reflected XSS in Mediapool Info Banner via args[types]

### Summary A reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Mediapool view where the request parameter `args[types]` is rendered into an info banner without HTML-escaping. This allows arbitrary JavaScript execution in the backend context when an authenticated user visits a crafted link while logged in. ### Details Control Flow: 1. `redaxo/src/addons/mediapool/pages/index.php` reads args via `rex_request('args', 'array')` and passes them through as `$argUrl` to `media.list.php`. 2. `redaxo/src/addons/mediapool/pages/media.list.php` injects `$argUrl['args']['types']` into an HTML string without escaping: ``` if (!empty($argUrl['args']['types'])) { echo rex_view::info(rex_i18n::msg('pool_file_filter') . ' <code>' . $argUrl['args']['types'] . '</code>'); } ``` ### PoC 1. Log into the REDAXO backend. 2. While authenticated, open a crafted URL like: `<host>/index.php?page=mediapool/media&args[types]="><img+src%3Dx+onerror%3Dalert%28document.domain%29>` 4. The inf...

GHSA-2fjw-whxm-9v4q: libnftnl has Heap-based Buffer Overflow in nftnl::Batch::with_page_size (nftnl-rs)

A heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability exists in the Rust wrapper for libnftnl, triggered via the nftnl::Batch::with_page_size constructor. When a small or malformed page size is provided, the underlying C code allocates an insufficient buffer, leading to out-of-bounds writes during batch initialization. The flaw was fixed in commit 94a286f by adding an overflow check: ```Rust batch_page_size .checked_add(crate::nft_nlmsg_maxsize()) .expect("batch_page_size is too large and would overflow"); ``` The fix has not been added to the Rust registry at the time of publish.

GHSA-g9gq-3pfx-2gw2: OWASP Java HTML Sanitizer is vulnerable to XSS via noscript tag and improper style tag sanitization

### Summary It is observed that OWASP java html sanitizer is vulnerable to XSS if HtmlPolicyBuilder allows `noscript` and `style` tags with `allowTextIn` inside the style tag. This could lead to XSS if the payload is crafted in such a way that it does not sanitise the CSS and allows tags which is not mentioned in HTML policy. ### Details The OWASP java HTML sanitizer is vulnerable to XSS. This only happens when HtmlPolicyBuilder allows `noscript` & `style` tag with `allowTextIn` inside style tags. The following condition is very edge case but if users combine a HtmlPolicyBuilder with any other tags except `noscript` and allow `style` tag with `allowTextIn` inside the style tag then In this case sanitizer would be safe from XSS. This happens because how the browser also perceives `noscript` tags post sanitization. ### PoC 1. Lets create a `HtmlPolicyBuilder` which allows `p, noscript, style` html tags and allows `.allowTextIn("style")`. 2. There are two XSS payloads which very ...

GHSA-mw3v-mmfw-3x2g: OpenSearch is vulnerable to DoS via complex query_string inputs
