Ya-moon, S. Korea’s notorious sex crime hub operating since 1990, hacked; user data leaked, exposing CSAM, exploitation, and illicit activities.

Cybereason co-founders launch their second act with a security startup focused on offering a platform that uses agentic AI to offload repetitive tasks commonly performed by security analysts.

OpenAI's latest tech can reason better than its previous models could, but not well enough to ferret out careful social engineering.

While President Trump supported federal space efforts during his first administration, the addition of SpaceX chief Elon Musk to his circle likely means challenges for regulating spacecraft cybersecurity, experts say.

New mobile apps from the Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) company DeepSeek have remained among the top three "free" downloads for Apple and Google devices since their debut on Jan. 25, 2025. But experts caution that many of DeepSeek's design choices -- such as using hard-coded encryption keys, and sending unencrypted user and device data to Chinese companies -- introduce a number of glaring security and privacy risks.

Riding the wave of notoriety from the Chinese company's R1 AT chatbot, attackers are spinning up lookalike sites for different malicious use cases.

CISA and the FDA are warning that Contec CMS8000 and Epsimed MN-120 patient monitors are open to meddling and data theft; Claroty Team82 flagged the vulnerability as an avoidable insecure design issue.

### Summary Maliciously constructed statements can lead to hash collisions, resulting in cache reuse, which can interfere with subsequent responses and cause unintended behavior. ### Details Prefix caching makes use of Python's built-in hash() function. As of Python 3.12, the behavior of hash(None) has changed to be a predictable constant value. This makes it more feasible that someone could try exploit hash collisions. ### Impact The impact of a collision would be using cache that was generated using different content. Given knowledge of prompts in use and predictable hashing behavior, someone could intentionally populate the cache using a prompt known to collide with another prompt in use. ### Solution We address this problem by initializing hashes in vllm with a value that is no longer constant and predictable. It will be different each time vllm runs. This restores behavior we got in Python versions prior to 3.12. Using a hashing algorithm that is less prone to collision (...

### Summary The application is vulnerable to parameter injection in database connection strings, which allows an attacker to read local files on the machine the application is running on. ### Details The application uses string concatenation to build database connection URIs which are then passed to corresponding libraries responsible for setting up the database connections. This string concatenation is done unsafely and without escaping or encoding the user input. This allows an user, in many cases, to inject arbitrary parameters into the URI string. These parameters can be potentially dangerous depending on the libraries used. One of these dangerous parameters is `allowAllFiles` in the library `github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql`. Should this be set to `true`, the library enables running the `LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE` query on any file on the host machine (in this case, the machine that WhoDB is running on).

### Summary While the application only displays Sqlite3 databases present in the directory `/db`, there is no path traversal prevention in place. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to open any Sqlite3 database present on the host machine that the application is running on. ### Details WhoDB allows users to connect to Sqlite3 databases. By default, the databases must be present in `/db/` (or alternatively `./tmp/` if development mode is enabled).

This value is used in `.Join()` with the default directory, in order to get the full path of the database file to open. Source: https://github.co...
