South Asian hacking group Bitter (APT-Q-37) is deploying a C# backdoor using two new methods: a WinRAR flaw and malicious Office XLAM files, targeting government and military sectors.

Financial regulators in Canada this week levied $176 million in fines against Cryptomus, a digital payments platform that supports dozens of Russian cryptocurrency exchanges and websites hawking cybercrime services. The penalties for violating Canada's anti money-laundering laws come ten months after KrebsOnSecurity noted that Cryptomus's Vancouver street address was home to dozens of foreign currency dealers, money transfer businesses, and cryptocurrency exchanges — none of which were physically located there.

The Iranian nation-state group known as MuddyWater has been attributed to a new campaign that has leveraged a compromised email account to distribute a backdoor called Phoenix to various organizations across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, including over 100 government entities. The end goal of the campaign is to infiltrate high-value targets and facilitate intelligence gathering

Multiple string reading functions expose uninitialized memory by setting length to capacity when no null terminator is found. This allows reading uninitialized memory which may contain sensitive data from previous allocations. The ncurses-rs repository is archived and unmaintained.

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a coordinated spear-phishing campaign dubbed PhantomCaptcha targeting organizations associated with Ukraine's war relief efforts to deliver a remote access trojan that uses a WebSocket for command-and-control (C2). The activity, which took place on October 8, 2025, targeted individual members of the International Red Cross, Norwegian Refugee

### Summary An authenticated SQL injection vulnerability exists in the member assignment data retrieval functionality of Admidio. Any authenticated user with permissions to assign members to a role (such as an administrator) can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This can lead to a full compromise of the application's database, including reading, modifying, or deleting all data. The vulnerability is present in the latest version, 4.3.16. ### Details The vulnerability is located in the `adm_program/modules/groups-roles/members_assignment_data.php` script. This script handles an AJAX request to fetch a list of users for role assignment. The `filter_rol_uuid` GET parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in a raw SQL query. **File:** `adm_program/modules/groups-roles/members_assignment_data.php` ```php // ... // The parameter is retrieved from the GET request without sufficient sanitization for SQL context. $getFilterRoleUuid = admFuncVariableIs...

The safe function `any_as_u8_slice` can create byte slices that reference uninitialized memory when used with types containing padding bytes. The function uses `slice::from_raw_parts` to create a `&[u8]` covering the entire size of a type, including padding bytes. According to Rust's documentation, `from_raw_parts` requires all bytes to be properly initialized, but padding bytes in structs are not guaranteed to be initialized. This violates the safety contract and causes undefined behavior.
