ServiceNow Flaws Expose Code, SQL to Unauthenticated Attackers
Critical vulnerabilities in ServiceNow's Now Platform could allow unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code or SQL, putting sensitive data at risk. Three flaws, earning the maximum CVSS score of 10.0, were recently disclosed, highlighting an urgent need for patching to prevent devastating attacks.
Gitea Flaw Exploited in Code Injection Attacks
A critical flaw in Gitea, tracked as CVE-2026-60004, is being actively exploited in code injection attacks, putting nearly 5,000 self-hosted Git service instances at risk. Attackers can inject malicious code by submitting patches via Gitea's diffpatch API endpoint, allowing them to execute arbitrary shell commands.
Gitea Flaw Exploited to Deploy Miner-Like Payload
Hackers are actively exploiting a critical flaw in Gitea to deploy malicious payloads, including miner-like attacks, by abusing the diffpatch endpoint to install and execute Git hooks. This vulnerability allows attackers with repository write access to inject code and run shell commands, prompting a warning from the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
Marimo Notebook Flaw Exposes Users to Pre-Execution Code Injection
A high-severity flaw in Marimo Notebook software, tracked as CVE-2026-75149, could allow attackers to inject malicious code on a user's machine simply by opening a specially crafted notebook in edit mode. This vulnerability, rated 8.7 out of 10 in severity, requires no authentication - just a click.
Gitea Flaw Lets Writers Run Shell Commands via Git Hook
A newly discovered vulnerability in Gitea, rated 9.8 in severity, allows ordinary repository writers to execute shell commands as the Gitea service account by exploiting a remote code execution bug via a cleverly planted Git hook. This critical flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-60004, puts Gitea users at risk of a devastating attack.
SonicWall Disrupts Zero-Day Attacks with Urgent Patch for SMA1000 Flaws
SonicWall has issued a critical patch to combat zero-day attacks exploiting two vulnerabilities in its SMA1000 line, with attackers already taking advantage of these flaws in the wild. The company urges immediate action to prevent further damage from these actively exploited security gaps.
AI Coding Assistants Exposed to Symlink Flaw
Researchers uncovered a major vulnerability, dubbed GhostApproval, that affects six popular AI coding assistants, allowing attackers to manipulate the code and write malicious data into sensitive files. This flaw uses a clever trick involving deceptively named files and symbolic links to catch AI assistants off guard.
AI Coding Assistants Exposed to HalluSquatting Botnet Attack
Researchers have uncovered a sneaky new attack method called HalluSquatting that targets AI coding assistants, exploiting their tendency to invent names and run code with minimal human oversight. This clever tactic chains together AI behaviors like hallucination and prompt injection to deliver malware efficiently.
CISA Warns of Active Exploitation of Lantronix EDS5000 Flaw
A critical code-injection flaw, CVE-2025-67038, has been discovered in Lantronix EDS5000 Series devices, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary OS commands with root privileges due to a lack of input sanitization in the HTTP RPC module. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.8, indicating a high severity level.
Gogs Vulnerability Exposes Remote Code Execution Risk
A newly discovered vulnerability in Gogs puts servers at risk of remote code execution, allowing any authenticated user to inject malicious code through a simple pull request. By crafting a malicious branch name, attackers can exploit the --exec flag in git rebase to run unauthorized shell commands.
GitHub Breach Exposes 3800 Repositories via Poisoned VS Code Extension
A malicious Visual Studio Code extension, Nx Console, was briefly listed on official registries and used to breach GitHub, exposing approximately 3,800 internal repositories to unauthorized access. The popular extension, with 2.2 million installs, was compromised for just 18 minutes, but long enough to cause significant damage.
Claude Code Attack Persists Through Token Rotation Flaw
A surprising lack of resistance to a proof-of-concept attack has exposed a vulnerability in Claude Code, allowing a five-step attack chain that can turn routine token rotation into a continuous compromise. This exploit requires just one malicious npm package and the ability to run code on a developer's machine, making it a concerning threat.
SAP Patches Critical Flaws in Commerce Cloud and S/4HANA
SAP has patched a critical vulnerability in its Commerce Cloud and S/4HANA systems, warning that hackers could exploit the flaw to upload malicious code and take control of the application. This security gap, caused by a misconfigured Spring Security setup, put sensitive data and system integrity at risk.
GitHub swiftly patches flaw exposing millions of private repos
GitHub quickly squashed a massive security flaw, CVE-2026-3854, that could have let hackers access millions of private repositories with just one sneaky git push. The vulnerability allowed attackers to inject malicious code by exploiting how GitHub handled user-supplied options during git push operations.
Apache ActiveMQ Vulnerability Exploited, Hits 6,400 Servers
More than 6,400 publicly accessible Apache ActiveMQ servers are under attack, thanks to a high-severity code injection vulnerability that's being actively exploited. Is your server among them?
