### Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to large memory usage. This requires parsing the content stream of a page using the LZWDecode filter. ### Patches This has been fixed in [pypdf==6.1.3](https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf/releases/tag/6.1.3). ### Workarounds If you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the changes from PR [#3502](https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf/pull/3502).

### Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to an infinite loop. This requires parsing the content stream of a page which has an inline image using the DCTDecode filter. ### Patches This has been fixed in [pypdf==6.1.3](https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf/releases/tag/6.1.3). ### Workarounds If you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the changes from PR [#3501](https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf/pull/3501).

# Description - In the `StaticHandlerImpl#sendDirectoryListing(...)` method under the `text/html` branch, file and directory names are directly embedded into the `href`, `title`, and link text without proper HTML escaping. - As a result, in environments where an attacker can control file names, injecting HTML/JavaScript is possible. Simply accessing the directory listing page will trigger an XSS. - Affected Code: - File: `vertx-web/src/main/java/io/vertx/ext/web/handler/impl/StaticHandlerImpl.java` - Lines: - 709–713: `normalizedDir` is constructed without escaping - 714–731: `<li><a ...>` elements insert file names directly into attributes and body without escaping - 744: parent directory name construction - 746–751: `{directory}`, `{parent}`, and `{files}` are inserted into the HTML template without escaping # Reproduction Steps 1. Prerequisites: - Directory listing is enabled using `StaticHandler` (e.g., `StaticHandler.create("p...

# Description There is a flaw in the hidden file protection feature of Vert.x Web’s `StaticHandler` when `setIncludeHidden(false)` is configured. In the current implementation, only files whose final path segment (i.e., the file name) begins with a dot (`.`) are treated as “hidden” and are blocked from being served. However, this logic fails in the following cases: - **Files under hidden directories**: For example, `/.secret/config.txt` — although `.secret` is a hidden directory, the file `config.txt` itself does not start with a dot, so it gets served. - **Real-world impact**: Sensitive files placed in hidden directories like `.git`, `.env`, `.aws` may become publicly accessible. As a result, the behavior does not meet the expectations set by the `includeHidden=false` configuration, which should ideally protect all hidden files and directories. This gap may lead to unintended exposure of sensitive information. # Steps to Reproduce ```bash 1. Prepare test environment # Create di...

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...
