A recently disclosed Linux Kernel vulnerability poses a significant risk to Chrome users by enabling privilege escalation within the browser’s sandbox environment. This flaw underscores the critical need for proactive system updates and continuous monitoring to mitigate potential exploitation by threat actors. Understanding the Vulnerability The vulnerability impacts how the Linux Kernel manages process capabilities […]
Linux Kernel Flaw Hits Chrome
Researchers at Google Project Zero have discovered a critical Linux kernel vulnerability (CVE-2025-38236) that allows attackers to escalate privileges directly from the Chrome renderer sandbox on Linux systems. The flaw exploits a rarely used feature in UNIX domain sockets-MSG_OOB-which is accessible due to unfiltered syscall permissions in the sandbox. How the Vulnerability Works Root Cause: […]
AgentFlayer: Zero-Click ChatGPT Hack
A Single Document, Total Compromise Researchers at Black Hat 2025 revealed a disruptive exploit-AgentFlayer-targeting OpenAI’s ChatGPT Connectors. This “zero-click” vulnerability enables attackers to steal sensitive data from cloud services like Google Drive, SharePoint, GitHub, or Microsoft 365 without any user interaction beyond the upload of a document. How It Works Attack Vector: A “poisoned” document […]
Cloud & DevOps Security Lessons
The discovery of recently disclosed vulnerabilities affecting CyberArk and HashiCorp products has highlighted the urgent need for advanced security governance in cloud-based environments. These flaws, if exploited, could allow attackers to gain elevated access to sensitive enterprise data, manipulate privileged credentials, and disrupt critical services across multiple sectors. The affected solutions are widely deployed in […]
RubyGems & PyPI Breach Alert
On August 8, 2025, security researchers uncovered a large-scale supply chain attack targeting two of the most trusted open-source repositories-RubyGems and Python Package Index (PyPI). This coordinated campaign involved the upload of dozens of malicious packages that imitated popular libraries, aimed at compromising developer environments and exfiltrating sensitive information. Attack Summary Threat actors employed typosquatting […]
Royal & BlackSuit Breach Hits 450+
A recent advisory from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security reveals that the cybercriminal operations known as Royal and BlackSuit have compromised more than 450 U.S. companies. These attacks, spanning critical sectors such as healthcare, education, public safety, energy, and government, have yielded over $370 million in ransom payouts – calculated at current cryptocurrency valuations. […]
End of Legacy in M365 Security
As part of Microsoft’s Secure Future Initiative and its “Secure by Default” approach, Microsoft will begin automatically blocking legacy authentication protocols-specifically RPS (for SharePoint and OneDrive browser access) and FPRPC (used for opening Office files)-across all Microsoft 365 tenants. This change rolls out from mid-July 2025 and completes by August 2025, with no additional licensing […]
Smart Contracts Under Siege
Blockchain Meets Malware Command & Control Researchers have uncovered a sophisticated malware campaign leveraging Ethereum smart contracts as decentralized command-and-control (C2) systems. Attackers are using smart contract–based infrastructure—instead of traditional servers-to issue instructions and maintain persistence in malicious npm package campaigns. This approach transforms blockchain features into resilient attack platforms: immutable, globally accessible, and difficult […]
RMM Hijack: A Silent Threat
Exploiting the Tools You Trust Security investigators have identified a growing cyber threat: attackers are misusing Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools, such as Atera and Splashtop, to gain sustained access within corporate networks. By deploying multiple RMM agents simultaneously, attackers ensure persistence even if one gets discovered and removed. These tools-normally reserved for legitimate […]
CISA Flags ICS Vulnerabilities
CISA Warns of Critical ICS Vulnerabilities The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued two new advisories concerning vulnerabilities and known exploits affecting Industrial Control Systems (ICS). These advisories come as part of the agency’s ongoing efforts to protect the backbone of critical infrastructure from evolving cyber threats. The advisories highlight severe flaws in […]
