A new study of integrated development environments (IDEs) like Microsoft Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, IntelliJ IDEA, and Cursor has revealed weaknesses in how they handle the extension verification process, ultimately enabling attackers to execute malicious code on developer machines.
“We discovered that flawed verification checks in Visual Studio Code allow publishers to add functionality

Despite years of investment in Zero Trust, SSE, and endpoint protection, many enterprises are still leaving one critical layer exposed: the browser.
It’s where 85% of modern work now happens. It’s also where copy/paste actions, unsanctioned GenAI usage, rogue extensions, and personal devices create a risk surface that most security stacks weren’t designed to handle. For security leaders who know

Google has released security updates to address a vulnerability in its Chrome browser for which an exploit exists in the wild.
The zero-day vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-6554 (CVSS score: N/A), has been described as a type confusing flaw in the V8 JavaScript and WebAssembly engine.
