Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new Rust-based backdoor called ChaosBot that can allow operators to conduct reconnaissance and execute arbitrary commands on compromised hosts. "Threat actors leveraged compromised credentials that mapped to both Cisco VPN and an over-privileged Active Directory account named, 'serviceaccount,'" eSentire said in a technical report published

Cybersecurity company Huntress on Friday warned of "widespread compromise" of SonicWall SSL VPN devices to access multiple customer environments. "Threat actors are authenticating into multiple accounts rapidly across compromised devices," it said. "The speed and scale of these attacks imply that the attackers appear to control valid credentials rather than brute-forcing." A significant chunk of

### Summary The ReadFileTool in Flowise does not restrict file path access, allowing authenticated attackers to exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files from the file system, potentially leading to remote command execution. ### Details Flowise supports providing ReadFileTool for large models to read files in the server's file system. The implementation of this tool is located at packages/components/nodes/tools/ReadFile/ReadFile.ts. ``` /** * Class for reading files from the disk.

Fortinet warns of Stealit, a MaaS infostealer, now targeting Windows systems and evading detection by using Node.js’s SEA feature while hiding in fake game and VPN installers.

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of an active malware campaign called Stealit that has leveraged Node.js' Single Executable Application (SEA) feature as a way to distribute its payloads. According to Fortinet FortiGuard Labs, select iterations have also employed the open-source Electron framework to deliver the malware. It's assessed that the malware is being propagated through

A China-aligned threat actor codenamed UTA0388 has been attributed to a series of spear-phishing campaigns targeting North America, Asia, and Europe that are designed to deliver a Go-based implant known as GOVERSHELL. "The initially observed campaigns were tailored to the targets, and the messages purported to be sent by senior researchers and analysts from legitimate-sounding, completely

### Summary The WriteFileTool in Flowise does not restrict the file path for reading, allowing authenticated attackers to exploit this vulnerability to write arbitrary files to any path in the file system, potentially leading to remote command execution. ### Details Flowise supports providing WriteFileTool for large models, which is used to write files to the server's file system. The implementation of this tool is located at packages/components/nodes/tools/WriteFile/WriteFile.ts. ``` /** * Class for writing data to files on the disk. Extends the StructuredTool * class. */ export class WriteFileTool extends StructuredTool { static lc_name() { return 'WriteFileTool' } schema = z.object({ file_path: z.string().describe('name of file'), text: z.string().describe('text to write to file') }) as any name = 'write_file' description = 'Write file from disk' store: BaseFileStore constructor({ store, ...rest }: WriteFileParams) ...

Forcepoint X-Labs reports a surge in sophisticated email attacks using obfuscated JavaScript and steganography to deliver dangerous RATs and info-stealers like Formbook and Agent Tesla. Learn how to defend against the threat.

Cyber threats are evolving faster than ever. Attackers now combine social engineering, AI-driven manipulation, and cloud exploitation to breach targets once considered secure. From communication platforms to connected devices, every system that enhances convenience also expands the attack surface. This edition of ThreatsDay Bulletin explores these converging risks and the safeguards that help

FortiGuard Labs reveals Chaos-C++, a new Chaos ransomware variant that deletes files over 1.3 GB instead of encrypting them and uses clipboard hijacking to steal cryptocurrency.
