Cybersecurity researchers have discovered five vulnerabilities in Fluent Bit, an open-source and lightweight telemetry agent, that could be chained to compromise and take over cloud infrastructures.
The security defects “allow attackers to bypass authentication, perform path traversal, achieve remote code execution, cause denial-of-service conditions, and manipulate tags,” Oligo Security said in

Multiple security vendors are sounding the alarm about a second wave of attacks targeting the npm registry in a manner that’s reminiscent of the Shai-Hulud attack.
The new supply chain campaign, dubbed Sha1-Hulud, has compromised hundreds of npm packages, according to reports from Aikido, HelixGuard, Koi Security, Socket, and Wiz.
“The campaign introduces a new variant that executes malicious

This week saw a lot of new cyber trouble. Hackers hit Fortinet and Chrome with new 0-day bugs. They also broke into supply chains and SaaS tools. Many hid inside trusted apps, browser alerts, and software updates.
Big firms like Microsoft, Salesforce, and Google had to react fast — stopping DDoS attacks, blocking bad links, and fixing live flaws. Reports also showed how fast fake news, AI

New research from CrowdStrike has revealed that DeepSeek’s artificial intelligence (AI) reasoning model DeepSeek-R1 produces more security vulnerabilities in response to prompts that contain topics deemed politically sensitive by China.
“We found that when DeepSeek-R1 receives prompts containing topics the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) likely considers politically sensitive, the likelihood of it

A recently patched security flaw in Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) has been exploited by threat actors to distribute malware known as ShadowPad.
“The attacker targeted Windows Servers with WSUS enabled, exploiting CVE-2025-59287 for initial access,” AhnLab Security Intelligence Center (ASEC) said in a report published last week. “They then used PowerCat, an open-source

The China-linked advanced persistent threat (APT) group known as APT31 has been attributed to cyber attacks targeting the Russian information technology (IT) sector between 2024 and 2025 while staying undetected for extended periods of time.
“In the period from 2024 to 2025, the Russian IT sector, especially companies working as contractors and integrators of solutions for government agencies,

Bad actors are leveraging browser notifications as a vector for phishing attacks to distribute malicious links by means of a new command-and-control (C2) platform called Matrix Push C2.
“This browser-native, fileless framework leverages push notifications, fake alerts, and link redirects to target victims across operating systems,” Blackfog researcher Brenda Robb said in a Thursday report.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Friday added a critical security flaw impacting Oracle Identity Manager to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation.
The vulnerability in question is CVE-2025-61757 (CVSS score: 9.8), a case of missing authentication for a critical function that can result in pre-authenticated

Grafana has released security updates to address a maximum severity security flaw that could allow privilege escalation or user impersonation under certain configurations.
The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-41115, carries a CVSS score of 10.0. It resides in the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) component that allows automated user provisioning and management. First
