.NET SOAPwn Flaw Opens Door for File Writes and Remote Code Execution via Rogue WSDL
New research has uncovered exploitation primitives in the .NET Framework that could be leveraged against enterprise-grade applications to achieve remote code execution. WatchTowr Labs, which has codenamed the “invalid cast vulnerability” SOAPwn, said the issue impacts Barracuda Service Center RMM, Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM), and Umbraco 8. But the number of affected vendors is likely […]
Three PCIe Encryption Weaknesses Expose PCIe 5.0+ Systems to Faulty Data Handling
Three security vulnerabilities have been disclosed in the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) Integrity and Data Encryption (IDE) protocol specification that could expose a local attacker to serious risks. The flaws impact PCIe Base Specification Revision 5.0 and onwards in the protocol mechanism introduced by the IDE Engineering Change Notice (ECN), according to the PCI […]
Webinar: How Attackers Exploit Cloud Misconfigurations Across AWS, AI Models, and Kubernetes
Cloud security is changing. Attackers are no longer just breaking down the door; they are finding unlocked windows in your configurations, your identities, and your code. Standard security tools often miss these threats because they look like normal activity. To stop them, you need to see exactly how these attacks happen in the real world. […]
Warning: WinRAR Vulnerability CVE-2025-6218 Under Active Attack by Multiple Threat Groups
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Tuesday added a security flaw impacting the WinRAR file archiver and compression utility to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-6218 (CVSS score: 7.8), is a path traversal bug that could enable code execution. However, for exploitation
Microsoft Issues Security Fixes for 56 Flaws, Including Active Exploit and Two Zero-Days
Microsoft closed out 2025 with patches for 56 security flaws in various products across the Windows platform, including one vulnerability that has been actively exploited in the wild. Of the 56 flaws, three are rated Critical, and 53 are rated Important in severity. Two other defects are listed as publicly known at the time of […]
North Korea-linked Actors Exploit React2Shell to Deploy New EtherRAT Malware
Threat actors with ties to North Korea have likely become the latest to exploit the recently disclosed critical security React2Shell flaw in React Server Components (RSC) to deliver a previously undocumented remote access trojan dubbed EtherRAT. “EtherRAT leverages Ethereum smart contracts for command-and-control (C2) resolution, deploys five independent Linux persistence mechanisms, and
Four Threat Clusters Using CastleLoader as GrayBravo Expands Its Malware Service Infrastructure
Four distinct threat activity clusters have been observed leveraging a malware loader known as CastleLoader, strengthening the previous assessment that the tool is offered to other threat actors under a malware-as-a-service (MaaS) model. The threat actor behind CastleLoader has been assigned the name GrayBravo by Recorded Future’s Insikt Group, which was previously tracking it as […]
Storm-0249 Escalates Ransomware Attacks with ClickFix, Fileless PowerShell, and DLL Sideloading
The threat actor known as Storm-0249 is likely shifting from its role as an initial access broker to adopt a combination of more advanced tactics like domain spoofing, DLL side-loading, and fileless PowerShell execution to facilitate ransomware attacks. “These methods allow them to bypass defenses, infiltrate networks, maintain persistence, and operate undetected, raising serious concerns […]
How to Streamline Zero Trust Using the Shared Signals Framework
Zero Trust helps organizations shrink their attack surface and respond to threats faster, but many still struggle to implement it because their security tools don’t share signals reliably. 88% of organizations admit they’ve suffered significant challenges in trying to implement such approaches, according to Accenture. When products can’t communicate, real-time access decisions break down. The
Google Adds Layered Defenses to Chrome to Block Indirect Prompt Injection Threats
Google on Monday announced a set of new security features in Chrome, following the company’s addition of agentic artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to the web browser. To that end, the tech giant said it has implemented layered defenses to make it harder for bad actors to exploit indirect prompt injections that arise as a result […]
