Google said today it worked with industry partners to dismantle a botnet made up of more than 1.3 million Android TV set-top boxes that ship with malicious software which secretly rents the user’s Internet connection out to strangers and conducts advertising fraud. Experts involved in the takedown say the action is likely to sever the botnet’s access to more than 10 million additional compromised systems, including other Internet of Things (IoT) products such as Android-based healthcare devices and karaoke machines. A report from the Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) said Google has severed ties with Videostrong Technology Co. , a TV box manufacturer in China that GTIG and other industry experts concluded was responsible for including malware that enrolled more than 1.3 million set-top boxes in a botnet dubbed “ XCPE ” (named after one of the malware’s core code components).

Continuous automated penetration and attack testing uses tooling to run real attack techniques against an environment on an ongoing schedule, rather than during one scheduled engagement. It trades the depth of a fully human-led test for broad, repeatable coverage that runs continuously. The category has a real ceiling: findings that depend on business logic or multi-step reasoning still need a human tester to catch. Treat it as one layer of a testing program, not a replacement for the whole thing. The post What Is Continuous Automated Penetration and Attack Testing? appeared first on Synack .
Google's Threat Intelligence Group says it has shut down a massive botnet called x.cpe. At its height, x.cpe ran on more than 1.3 million Android TV devices, and unusually, these were Google-certified boxes. Google says its screening process missed the malware due to "obfuscation techniques" employed by Shenzhen-based Videostrong Technology. In a detailed blog post , the Threat Intelligence Group explains how the x.cpe botnet evolved quickly from a single-stage dropper into a modular three-stage malware platform that sold access to third parties. Manufacturers must have their devices certified if they want access to Google apps and branding, a process that is supposed to catch threats like this. However, Videostrong's compromised boxes, mostly sold under the MECOOL brand, evaded detection by using a backdoor to remotely install the malware after the devices were set up and online. After devices appeared online, a stub application called x.cpe or com.oemservice would phone home. This package did not have any malicious capabilities of its own, but it had the system-level permissions necessary to install malware modules at the operator's behest. It also disabled Play Protect, which would have otherwise flagged the silently installed packages as malicious. Read full article Comments ]]>

Barracuda has disclosed details of two vulnerabilities affecting its products that, if chained together, could allow an attacker to bypass authorization controls and gain root access to a susceptible device. The vulnerabilities, a pre-authentication authorization bypass vulnerability and a command injection vulnerability, have been assigned the CVE identifiers CVE-2026-116606 (CVSS score: 9.3)
Overview Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in the Android application, BaseChat – Audio Dating App, version 9.8.1, which ultimately compromise the privacy of users’ personal data and activity. Description BaseChat is an online dating platform built in Flutter and targeted toward users over 18. It facilitates anonymous, voice-first interaction between users. Three distinct vulnerabilities have been identified within the shipped Android application. VU#124705.1: The application fails open when validating TLS server certificates for connections to its backend API host. The application allows any self-signed certificate to bypass standard TLS security checks. VU#124705.2: Paid user accounts are mapped to a third-party RevenueCat subscriber database using raw MSISDNs (phone numbers), which are a guessable public identifier. Because the RevenueCat Software Development Kit (SDK) includes a public API key within the application’s Android Package Kit (APK), an attacker can query the RevenueCat’s API using predictable identifiers to retrieve individual user metadata. VU#124705.3: The application writes Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to Android system logs in its production build. During voice calls, the application logs the remote party’s MSISDN through unstripped debug statements, which allows an attacker to recovery phone numbers of callers who are intended to remain anonymous. Impact Impacts of successful exploitation vary by vulnerability. VU#124705.1: A network-positioned attacker can intercept and modify API communication, potentially leading to account takeover via session credential theft. VU#124705.2:
You run security at your organization. It’s 7:00 am, and you’re having breakfast. You receive a ping: a new critical vulnerability has been disclosed. Your team scrambles to compare vendor advisories, read technical research, check which systems run the affected software, and answer familiar questions from the business: are we affected, and what are we doing about it? Another disclosure arrives before that work is finished. AI is changing both the volume and speed of critical vulnerability discovery. It can analyze large codebases at scale and surface deeply nested flaws that may have existed for years without being found through human review. That discovery momentum will put more pressure on security teams to understand the impact of each disclosure on their infrastructure. To help security teams prepare, today we’re introducing Zero Wire : a public vulnerability intelligence feed on Cloudflare Radar, bringing the clarity of a news wire service to critical security developments. It helps security leaders and practitioners understand significant vulnerabilities and decide what to do next. How it works Zero Wire lives inside Cloudflare Radar under the security section. Each briefing brings together a plain-language explanation of the vulnerability, who should investigate it, recommended actions, and links to the evidence and vendor guidance. The format is deliberately simple: an index card with what you need to know, without the drama. A CISO should be able to understand the issue quickly and ask the right questions. An engineer should be able to follow the same briefing to the technical guidance needed to investigate and remediate it. We also offer a pre-compiled prompt you can use with your agent to assess the impact on your infrastructure. Cloudflare contributes security research, observations from our network, and p
As millions of Americans vote in today’s U.S. midterms, most will use paper ballots, which are protected by strict chain-of-custody protocols and, in some cases, statistical audits. You may wonder why we still use paper for our elections and voting systems when tasks like banking, tax filing, and document signing have moved away from paper-based legacy systems and become fully electronic. The short answer: security. That may come as a surprise to some. After all, cryptography and other security advancements have enabled secure electronic systems for many applications. In fact, cryptography can be used to provide two essential safeguards in elections: keeping (1) individual votes secret while (2) making the final tally independently verifiable. This is exactly the approach of cryptographic protocols like Helios and ElectionGuard . However, Helios intentionally targets lower-risk and lower-coercion settings rather than high-stakes public elections. ElectionGuard, by contrast, is intended for public elections, but not as a replacement for a paper-based system; it is used as a cryptographic layer integrated with traditional voting infrastructure. In this blog post, we’ll explain how cryptographic techniques can help protect ballot secrecy and prevent manipulation in electronic voting systems, and explore the limitations of these systems. Although cryptography can strengthen election verifiability and have other strong security properties, it cannot fully replace the security and trust of existing paper ballot systems in general elections. The challenges of electronic voting The National Academy of Sciences’ excellent 2018 report on election security concludes that el

Had a subscription in the past with them and received the following e-mail: Doesn't look like many sites have have picked up on this: >Dear cPGuard customers and partners, >An unidentified attacker targeted OPSSHIELD, gained unauthorized access to our licensing and update systems, and distributed a malicious script through the cPGuard update channel. \*\*We have stopped further distribution of the script and released cPGuard 5.88.25 to remove the known backdoor and files left by the script.\*\* >The script sent data to an endpoint on our licensing server under a compromised account. We secured that account as soon as we identified the breach and cleared our infrastructure credentials. We are investigating how the attacker gained access, which customer servers ran the script, and what data the attacker accessed. >\*\*Please take the following actions immediately.\*\* >1. \*\*Update every cPGuard server.\*\* Run \`cpgcli update --start\`. The corrective update removes the backdoor shell at \`/var/tmp/.cpg91511\_sh\` and the collection directory \`/var/tmp/.cpg91511\`, including the password hashes and credential archive (\`loot.tgz\`) staged there. 2. \*\*Verify the installed version.\*\* After the update completes, run \`cpgcli --version\` on each server and confirm it reports \*\*5.88.25\*\*. If the update fails or the server still reports an older version (between 5.88.12 and 5.88.19), contact OPSSHIELD Support immediately. 3. \*\*If you know or suspect the malicious script ran, reset passwords and revoke exposed credentials.\*\* The script targeted \`/etc/shadow\`. Reset passwords for root and all other password-enabled local accounts from a trusted recovery environment. From a trusted device, change any passwords reused elsewhere and rotate affected database passwords, S3 access keys, DigitalOcean tokens, and secrets recorded in root's shell history. Replace SSH private keys stored under \`/root/.ssh\` and remove the corresponding old public keys from every system that trusts them. Complete this step even if the update succeeds, because credentials copied before cleanup may still be usable. >We are sorry that this breach put your systems at risk. If you need help assessing a server, please contact OPSSHIELD Support through your usual support channel. We will share further findings as we verify them. >The OPSSHIELD Team
Follow-up reporting identifies Palo Alto Networks firewalls as targets in the PHP2Shell exploit-chain investigation. Researchers describe attackers combining PHP vulnerabilities with a Linux kernel privilege-escalation flaw to obtain root access. This adds important product-specific context to the Dream Research findings we've discussed. Administrators of exposed firewall management interfaces should review vendor advisories and investigate possible compromise. Palo Alto acknowledges limited exploitation affecting customers. The suspected China-linked attribution remains a research assessment, not independently established fact.

Recently came across two exposed attacker servers that gave us an interesting look at how AI is being used in real-world offensive operations. Both servers were exposing their working directories over HTTP. In total, huntback recovered 1,304 files (193 MB), including shell histories, AI agent logs, pentest reports, credentials and other tooling. Here's what we found: * 25 organisations targeted across Europe and beyond, including hosting providers, marketplaces, cloud infrastructure, a bank and a national telecom operator. * 31 runs of pentestcode, an open-source autonomous pentesting agent, mostly powered by DeepSeek Flash. * 63 agent sessions and 16,616 logged steps across just two days of activity. * 10 engagements with reported breaches, including claims of 168 compromised hosts, 1,770 findings and 1,256 credentials recovered across nine reports. * The operator repeatedly used essentially the same prompt, instructing the AI to pursue domain admin, database access and deeper network compromise. The interesting part is how little sophistication was needed to orchestrate the activity. An open-source agent, an inexpensive model and a reusable prompt were enough to automate substantial reconnaissance and exploitation attempts. The exposed directories also contained credential-checking tools, account creation automation, database dumps, hash-cracking infrastructure and residential proxy configurations. For defenders, the bigger takeaway is that autonomous offensive tooling is no longer just a theoretical capability. We can now observe operators incorporating these agents into real targeting workflows.
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a cyber espionage campaign targeting Israel and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq by an Iran state-aligned threat actor between August and October 2026.

When I last wrote about our DNS propagation pipeline in 2022 , the Zone Builder received about 250 DNS record changes per second. Today it receives about 700, nearly three times as many, plus about 100 other events, such as zone setting changes. However, the number of events was never the real problem. The problem was the kind of work some of those events needed, and how that work grows with the size of a zone. Some zones now hold more than 20 million records, and we expect them to keep growing toward hundreds of millions. Each event starts a clock that measures how long it takes us to turn that change into data our authoritative DNS servers can use. We call that work a build. A build reads the current database state, converts it into the format used at the edge, and writes any changes to Quicksilver . In 2022, per-record builds were 150 times faster than full builds on average. On a test zone with one million records, per-record builds were 4,250 times faster. We ended that post with the obvious next step: do the same thing for zone settings. Why doesn't the Zone Builder just rebuild the setting that changed? It should, and that is where we ended up. However, proving when it was safe took most of the work. A record event identifies what changed. A zone event can come from many Cloudflare products, may not say why the zone changed, and can alter data shared by several zones with the same name. Choosing too much work wastes capacity. Choosing too little can leave stale or incorrect DNS data at the edge. We built a targeted
Stable Linux releases lack existing security fixes because backporting them is time-consuming and often thankless work. We’re using Codex to reduce the backporting process time from days to hours per fix, empowering human patch reviewers to rapidly submit fixes for critical software like Ubuntu Long Term Support, Fedora, and the Linux kernel. By October 29, our project helped deliver fixes for 149 distinct CVEs into stable Linux kernel releases, and several fixes to Fedora and Ubuntu packages. Deploying fixes to older software requires multiple steps, including adapting fixes to older code, checking dependencies, and ensuring the fix did not introduce new bugs. A single task (like tracking down a bug in a bad commit) can take a week or more of effort that no one sees or appreciates. Our Codex workflow has reduced the human effort required to prepare and review fixes. Excluding project-specific initial setup, preparing and reviewing a straightforward backport takes about 30 minutes of human attention; a more involved case can take around three hours. The workflow’s approach is twofold: agents perform activities like identifying missing fixes, adapting patches, assembling validation evidence, running tests, and preparing submission packets, while engineers review the patches and submit them to maintainers. Those estimates only cover patch preparation and review; regression testing and maintainer acceptance remain essential. But the reduced human commitment makes a substantial class of neglected security work practical to undertake. The patch backlog is large, but we now

Shared ASLR-bypass kit byte-identical across four hosts, a custom heap exploit with a log cleaner, cloned public PoCs, and a PAN-OS-focused repackaging (panos\_rce\_poc.py, prce.py) exposed at 130.94.67\[.\]235. File-level detail and hashes in the post.
On October 19, 2026, we learned about eMudhra’s eight shockingly weak keys: where eMudhra was trusted to pick a 115-digit number for their virtual combination lock protecting the Internet, they picked the number 4. Not even four digits, just the number 4. The other seven keys were similarly weak: 56, 66, 115, 155, 156, 230 and 237. The next day, we wrote a blog post on the immediate action we took to mitigate this leak, and what customers needed to do on their end to stay secure. Now, we are sharing a more in-depth follow up on the evidence we’ve seen of exploitation, and the progress seen on visitors patching their systems. Let's start with the scale of the problem. A certificate authority (CA) with weak keys this serious is unprecedented, and the potential consequences are significant. While there have been plenty of compromised certification authorities in the past (such as DigiNotar , TÜRKTRUST , and TrustWave ), access to their keys has always been contained to a degree; these incidents gave a limited set of attackers or organizations the ability to issue fraudulent certificates. The eMudhra incident is fundamentally different; the affected intermediate private keys could be recovered almost instantly by anyone from the public certificates themse

The bugs in the PHP programming language that were recently found by an AI tool have been present for a long time without anybody noticing and without any harm being done – they are extremely obscure. They were not found by hackers – they were found because an AI tool was used to check the PHP source code, which is a good use of AI. Continue reading...
Today, Cloudflare services for private origins is generally available. Point a proxied DNS record at a private IP, and Cloudflare reaches the origin over your existing Cloudflare One connection . Your origin stays private, while web application firewall ( WAF ), caching , bot management , and Workers work just as they do for public origins. In June, we launched this capability in closed beta to address a problem we kept hearing from customers: Their internal APIs, AI agent backends, MCP servers, and operational tools weren’t built to face the Internet, but those services still need to accept requests from partners, customers, or agents over the Internet. Before the beta, putting Cloudflare in front of these services meant exposing a public IP, opening a firewall port, or running cloudflared alongside the origin. Those requirements often left private applications without the same protections and controls they used for public applications, including WAF, bot management, rate limiting, caching, traffic acceleration, rewrites, and Workers. What is generally available today During the closed beta, eligible customers requested access through their account team. Today, we’re opening access beyond that beta group. Point a proxied A or AAAA record at
I wanted to figure out just how exploitable php2shell and http2shell were in practice, so I've created two purposely vulnerable web apps: [https://brotli2bitcoin.com](https://brotli2bitcoin.com) & [https://php2bitcoin.com](https://php2bitcoin.com) with a standard production config -- pop an RCE and find the flag to claim the $1K BTC. And to make it interesting, I setup a live stream showing every single attack attempt happening live [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7\_EJWqRzvw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7_EJWqRzvw) Good luck! ;)

What if a VNC server could make your viewer believe it had a \~4 GB framebuffer… while actually allocating only 128 KB? That’s the core of this TightVNC vulnerability. A malicious server can announce a crafted 32768 × 32769 screen at 32bpp, causing the framebuffer size calculation to overflow. The allocation wraps down to 128 KB, but the viewer continues using the original, much larger dimensions when calculating pixel writes. The result is a server-controlled out-of-bounds write in the viewer. It’s a good example of how a relatively small integer-overflow mistake can become a powerful memory-corruption primitive when different parts of the application disagree about the true size of a buffer.
Welcome to the 26th edition of Cloudflare's DDoS Threat Report. This edition covers the third quarter of 2026 — July, August, and September — and returns the series to its quarterly cadence following the combined H1 2026 volume. The analysis is produced by Cloudforce One , Cloudflare's Threat Intelligence organization, providing a comprehensive analysis of the evolving threat landscape of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks based on data from the Cloudflare network . Key insights Short-burst, low-bandwidth attacks lasting under 10 minutes and 1 Gbps surged by 208%. Conversely, hyper-volumetric attacks exceeding 1 Tbps plummeted by nearly 69% from Q2, possibly a reflection of law enforcement actions against four major Internet of Things (IoT) botnets earlier in the year. However, variants continue to emerge, proving that IoT botnets remain a durable, high-volume threat to network infrastructure. Threat actors dramatically shifted their reflection and amplification tactics, abruptly abandoning CLDAP floods, which collapsed by 99.5% quarter-over-quarter. Instead, attackers pivoted heavily toward other connectionless protocols, driving a 215% surge in DNS amplification and a 122% increase in general UDP floods. Attack targets broadened significantly across both industries and geographies, with the United States reclaiming the most-attacked position from China. Canada and Israel experienced sharp spikes in targeted attacks — jumping 10 and 7 spots respectively — while juggling geopolitical tensions, trade disputes, and contentious domestic events. At the same time, the operational focus shifted aw
A vendor gets a call from one of its biggest MSP partners who needs something the vendor can’t supply. The vendor knows a competitor can, so it points them there. That sounds like a good way to lose a partner, but it wasn’t. They stayed, and they spent even more over the next few years. […] The post The best due diligence on a vendor is who they’ve worked with appeared first on Heimdal Security Blog .
Bluesky tells WIRED it blocked links to a leaked archive of information on 41,000 ICE, CBP, and other DHS workers because it contains people’s contact information, shared without their authorization.
Information released by Distributed Denial of Secrets is the third such government data disclosure in the last month Data identifying more than 41,000 employees and contractors for the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was released on Wednesday in an unprecedented leak that reveals how the agency is organized. The records, which were made public by the transparency non-profit Distributed Denial of Secrets, reference operation names, surveillance programs and information on undercover initiatives. The DHS did not immediately return a message seeking comment. Continue reading...

Open-source tool for unpacking stripped Android native (.so) malware: static RegisterNatives recovery, ARM64 OLLVM (BR X8) deobfuscation, and Dobby anti-Frida tracing
If you analyze Android banking trojans, droppers, or spyware, you've probably run into samples where: * `classes*.dex` declares `native` methods, but `lib/*.so` has 0 exported `Java_*` symbols and wiped ELF section headers. * `JNI_OnLoad` constructs strings on the stack (`MOVZ`/`MOVK`), uses an OLLVM `CSEL` \+ `BR X8` state machine, and registers JNI handlers dynamically. * Attaching Frida immediately crashes the app due to `/proc/self/maps` or libc prologue checks. I released **JNISleuth-MCP** (Apache 2.0) to automate this part of Android malware triage: [https://github.com/nighthawkk/JNISleuth-MCP](https://github.com/nighthawkk/JNISleuth-MCP) * Recovers static `JNINativeMethod` triplets from `.rodata` / `.data.rel.ro` (with `PT_LOAD` fallback for section-stripped ELFs). * Extracts `MOVZ`/`MOVK` stack strings and XOR-encoded C2 strings from `JNI_OnLoad` / `.init_array`. * Resolves & patches ARM64 OLLVM `CSEL` \+ `BR X8` indirect branches and `.rodata` jump tables. * Includes a C++/NDK **Dobby** agent that hooks `RegisterNatives` mid-function (`+0x10`) and dumps in-memory DEX payloads from `art::DexFileLoader::OpenCommon` without triggering standard Frida detections. * Syncs all 233 `JNIEnv*` vtable types and C signatures into Ghidra and IDA Pro 9.0, plus includes an MCP/LLM server. Ships with a synthetic dropper APK (`samples/banker_dropper.apk`) so you can test all features offline.
Rebranded GodPotato + PowerShell stager + Impacket env, left open by an operator who stole 68 GB from a Philippine government agency
Toolkit dump from a captured open directory: a renamed GodPotato (two builds and source), an eight-line PowerShell stager that reassembles the payload in memory, a small Python upload receiver, a full unmodified Impacket environment, and the operator's own transfer and access logs. Hashes, named-pipe path, and the base64 command/fragment paths are all in the post.
ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations is engaged in far-reaching spying against left-wing activists that rivals the FBI and CIA crackdowns on the Civil Rights and anti-war movements.
