### Impact The Tauri [`shell`](https://tauri.app/plugin/shell/) plugin exposes functionality to execute code and open programs on the system. The [`open`](https://tauri.app/reference/javascript/shell/#open) endpoint of this plugin is designed to allow open functionality with the system opener (e.g. `xdg-open` on Linux). This was meant to be restricted to a reasonable number of protocols like `https` or `mailto` by default. This default restriction was not functional due to improper validation of the allowed protocols, allowing for potentially dangerous protocols like `file://`, `smb://`, or `nfs://` and others to be opened by the system registered protocol handler. By passing untrusted user input to the `open` endpoint these potentially dangerous protocols can be abused to gain remote code execution on the system. This either requires direct exposure of the endpoint to application users or code execution in the frontend of a Tauri application. You are not affected if you have e...

An issue was discovered in Django 5.1 before 5.1.8 and 5.0 before 5.0.14. The NFKC normalization is slow on Windows. As a consequence, django.contrib.auth.views.LoginView, django.contrib.auth.views.LogoutView, and django.views.i18n.set_language are subject to a potential denial-of-service attack via certain inputs with a very large number of Unicode characters.

China-linked APT group FamousSparrow hits targets in the Americas using upgraded SparrowDoor malware in new cyberespionage campaign, ESET reports.

The financially motivated threat actor known as FIN7 has been linked to a Python-based backdoor called Anubis (not to be confused with an Android banking trojan of the same name) that can grant them remote access to compromised Windows systems. "This malware allows attackers to execute remote shell commands and other system operations, giving them full control over an infected machine," Swiss

A vishing scam via Microsoft Teams led to attackers misusing TeamViewer to drop malware and stay hidden using simple but effective techniques.

### Summary The contents of arbitrary files can be returned to the browser. ### Impact Only apps explicitly exposing the Vite dev server to the network (using `--host` or [`server.host` config option](https://vitejs.dev/config/server-options.html#server-host)) are affected. ### Details - base64 encoded content of non-allowed files is exposed using `?inline&import` (originally reported as `?import&?inline=1.wasm?init`) - content of non-allowed files is exposed using `?raw?import` `/@fs/` isn't needed to reproduce the issue for files inside the project root. ### PoC Original report (check details above for simplified cases): The ?import&?inline=1.wasm?init ending allows attackers to read arbitrary files and returns the file content if it exists. Base64 decoding needs to be performed twice ``` $ npm create vite@latest $ cd vite-project/ $ npm install $ npm run dev ``` Example full URL `http://localhost:5173/@fs/C:/windows/win.ini?import&?inline=1.wasm?init`

The threat actors behind the zero-day exploitation of a recently-patched security vulnerability in Microsoft Windows have been found to deliver two new backdoors called SilentPrism and DarkWisp. The activity has been attributed to a suspected Russian hacking group called Water Gamayun, which is also known as EncryptHub and LARVA-208. "The threat actor deploys payloads primarily by means of

A vulnerability has been found that can be exploited through every browser as long as its running on a Windows system

Mozilla has released updates to address a critical security flaw impacting its Firefox browser for Windows, merely days after Google patched a similar flaw in Chrome that came under active exploitation as a zero-day. The security vulnerability, CVE-2025-2857, has been described as a case of an incorrect handle that could lead to a sandbox escape. "Following the recent Chrome sandbox escape (
