FBI tracked IntelBroker as UK’s Kai West using an email address, crypto trails, YouTube activity and forum posts after dozens of high-profile data breaches and darknet activity.

### Impact OpenBao and HashiCorp Vault allowed an attacker to perform unauthenticated, unaudited cancellation of root rekey and recovery rekey operations, effecting a denial of service. ### Patches In OpenBao v2.2.2 and later, manually setting the configuration option `disable_unauthed_rekey_endpoints=true` allows an operator to deny these rarely-used endpoints on global listeners. In a future OpenBao release [communicated on our website](https://openbao.org/docs/deprecation/), we will set this to `true` for all users and provide an authenticated alternative. This vulnerability has been disclosed to HashiCorp; see their website for more information. ### Workarounds If an active proxy or load balancer sits in front of OpenBao, an operator can deny requests to these endpoints from unauthorized IP ranges. ### References See the [deprecation notice](https://openbao.org/docs/deprecation/unauthed-rekey/).

### Impact OpenBao before v2.3.0 and HashiCorp Vault as of the current v1.19.5 may leak sensitive information in logs when processing malformed data. This is separate from the earlier HCSEC-2025-09 / CVE-2025-4166. ### Patches This issue has been fixed in OpenBao v2.3.0 and later. ### Workarounds Like with HCSEC-2025-09, there is no known workaround except to ensure properly formatted requests from all clients. ### Remediation Users with the capability to search through server and audit logs for any possible exposed secrets can refer to the following snippets to aid in searching: Audit Log ``` ... "error":"error converting input for field \"password\": expected type 'string', got unconvertible type 'map[string]interface {}', value: '<sensitive data>'" ... ``` Server Log ``` error converting input for field "password": expected type 'string', got unconvertible type 'map[string]interface {}', value: '<sensitive data>' ``` If any matches are found, rotating the affected secre...

# Command Injection in MCP Server The MCP Server at https://github.com/joshuayoes/ios-simulator-mcp/ is written in a way that is vulnerable to command injection vulnerability attacks as part of some of its MCP Server tool definition and implementation. ## Vulnerable tool The MCP Server exposes the tool `ui_tap` which relies on Node.js child process API `exec` which is an unsafe and vulnerable API if concatenated with untrusted user input. LLM exposed user input for `duration`, `udid`, and `x` and `y` args can be replaced with shell meta-characters like `;` or `&&` or others to change the behavior from running the expected command `idb` to another command. Vulnerable line of code: https://github.com/joshuayoes/ios-simulator-mcp/blob/main/src/index.ts#L166-L207 ```js server.tool( "ui_tap", "Tap on the screen in the iOS Simulator", { duration: z.string().optional().describe("Press duration"), udid: z .string() .optional() .describe("...

## Summary Octo-STS versions before v0.5.3 are vulnerable to unauthenticated SSRF by abusing fields in OpenID Connect tokens. Malicious tokens were shown to trigger internal network requests which could reflect error logs with sensitive information. Please upgrade to v0.5.3 to resolve this issue. This version includes patch sets to [sanitize input](https://github.com/octo-sts/app/commit/b3976e39bd8c8c217c0670747d34a4499043da92) and [redact logging](https://github.com/octo-sts/app/commit/0f177fde54f9318e33f0bba6abaea9463a7c3afd). Many thanks to @vicevirus for reporting this issue and for assisting with remediation review. ## References - https://github.com/octo-sts/app/security/advisories/GHSA-h3qp-hwvr-9xcq - https://github.com/octo-sts/app/commit/b3976e39bd8c8c217c0670747d34a4499043da92 - https://github.com/octo-sts/app/commit/0f177fde54f9318e33f0bba6abaea9463a7c3afd

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed a critical vulnerability in the Open VSX Registry ("open-vsx[.]org") that, if successfully exploited, could have enabled attackers to take control of the entire Visual Studio Code extensions marketplace, posing a severe supply chain risk. "This vulnerability provides attackers full control over the entire extensions marketplace, and in turn, full control

Cybercriminals are using jailbroken AI models to assist them in designing campaigns and improving their tactics.

Cisco has released updates to address two maximum-severity security flaws in Identity Services Engine (ISE) and ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC) that could permit an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the root user. The vulnerabilities, assigned the CVE identifiers CVE-2025-20281 and CVE-2025-20282, carry a CVSS score of 10.0 each. A description of the defects is
