An IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) vulnerability exists in Oqtane Framework 6.0.0, allowing a logged-in user to access inbox messages of other users by manipulating the notification ID in the request URL. By changing the notification ID, an attacker can view sensitive mail details belonging to other users.

Oqtane Framework is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in Oqtane.Controllers.UserController. This allows unauthorized users to access sensitive information of other users by manipulating the id parameter.

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the name parameter of GoCast 1.1.3. A specially crafted HTTP request can lead to arbitrary command execution. An attacker can make an unauthenticated HTTP request to trigger this vulnerability.

LockBit ransomware gang's takedown is in progress!

While a number of threat groups have used TP-Link bugs to infiltrate networks, a proposed ban of the company's popular routers is more about geopolitics than actual cybersecurity — and that may not be a bad thing.

Cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler discovered a 1.2TB database containing over 3 million records of Builder.ai, a London-based AI software and app development company. Discover the risks, lessons learned, and best practices for data security.

### Summary An **Improper URL Handling Vulnerability** allows an attacker to access sensitive local files on the server by exploiting the `file:///` protocol. This vulnerability is triggered via the **"real-browser"** request type, which takes a screenshot of the URL provided by the attacker. By supplying local file paths, such as `file:///etc/passwd`, an attacker can read sensitive data from the server. ### Details The vulnerability arises because the system does not properly validate or sanitize the user input for the URL field. Specifically: 1. The URL input (`<input data-v-5f5c86d7="" id="url" type="url" class="form-control" pattern="https?://.+" required="">`) allows users to input arbitrary file paths, including those using the `file:///` protocol, without server-side validation. 2. The server then uses the user-provided URL to make a request, passing it to a browser instance that performs the "real-browser" request, which takes a screenshot of the content at the given URL....

## Description When linking a social account to an already authenticated user, the lack of a confirmation step introduces a security risk. This is exacerbated if ->stateless() is used in the Socialite configuration, bypassing state verification and making the exploit easier. Developers should ensure that users explicitly confirm account linking and avoid configurations that skip critical security checks. ## Resolution Socialstream v6.2 introduces a new custom route that requires a user to "Confirm" or "Deny" a request to link a social account.

Combating nation-state threat actors at the enterprise level requires more than just cyber readiness and investment — it calls for a collaborative effort.

During holidays and slow weeks, teams thin out and attackers move in. Here are strategies to bridge gaps, stay vigilant, and keep systems secure during those lulls.
