A flaw in Git can let a malicious repository run an attacker’s code on a computer that clones it recursively, together with its submodules. The Git project fixed it this week in Git 2.56.1, with matching fixes for the 2.50 through 2.55 series in 2.50.2, 2.51.3, 2.52.1, 2.53.1, 2.54.1 and 2.55.1. The flaw, tracked as […]

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of an attack that exploited two now-patched vulnerabilities in AhsayCBS to deliver a Python-based implant. The activity, observed by Huntress in early October 2026, involves the exploitation of a chain comprising CVE-2026-105133 and CVE-2026-105134 to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands on affected systems. Patches for the two

Three distinct threat activity clusters with shared infrastructure and malware code similarities have been observed targeting telecommunications providers, government organizations, military entities, research institutions, and critical infrastructure across Latin America, Asia, and Europe over the past year. Check Point Research is tracking the clusters under the names SilentDelivery,

French software company Vates VMS has warned of a critical security vulnerability in Xen Orchestra that it said is being actively exploited in the wild. The authentication bypass flaw, which does not yet have a CVE identifier, is tracked as VSA-2026-062. “REST cookie parsing turns authenticationToken=j:%7B%7D into {},” Vates VMS said in an alert. “REST

An attacker exploited a remote code execution flaw in SGLang, an open-source inference engine, and ran code on one of NEAR AI’s inference servers last Sunday. The attacker could also have seen requests being processed on that server that day, including requests sent in confidential mode, the company said earlier this week. That mode processes

An attacker broke into AWS accounts belonging to multiple Qubole customers between October 14 and October 26 and stole stored secrets and data, cloud security company Wiz said today. The attacker used credentials for an AWS account that Qubole’s platform uses to reach those customers. How the attacker got those credentials has not been disclosed.

The login systems behind two car brands’ mobile apps could be taken over completely, two security researchers found, allowing them to access any customer’s account and, for an owner with a connected car, unlock the doors and start the engine. Both apps signed customers in through ForgeRock, an identity platform now part of Ping Identity,

A system doesn’t always need a complicated bug to let someone in. Sometimes, a blank password is enough. That’s one of the bigger stories this week. And it gets worse when the tools meant to keep systems updated or running safely become part of the attack. Elsewhere, attackers are hiding inside normal web traffic, stealing

The South Asian cyber espionage group known as Bitter (aka APT-C-08, APT-Q-37, Hazy Tiger, Orange Yali, T-APT-17, and TA397) has been observed targeting South Asian organizations with a previously unreported remote access trojan called PapRAT. “PapRAT has both C++ and Rust implementations,” Fortinet FortiGuard Labs researcher Cara Lin said. “Its capabilities include command execution, file

Attackers used the Ethersphere project’s own release automation to publish malicious versions of two of its tools for the Swarm decentralized storage network: bee-js 13.3.0 and Swarm Desktop 0.56.2. Both releases download and run code built to steal the wallet key that Swarm Desktop keeps for its node, along with the stored password that unlocks
