Apple Issues Security Updates After Two WebKit Flaws Found Exploited in the Wild
Apple on Friday released security updates for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, visionOS, and its Safari web browser to address two security flaws that it said have been exploited in the wild, one of which is the same flaw that was patched by Google in Chrome earlier this week.
The vulnerabilities are listed below -
CVE-2025-43529 (CVSS score: N/A) - A use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit
Fake OSINT and GPT Utility GitHub Repos Spread PyStoreRAT Malware Payloads
Cybersecurity researchers are calling attention to a new campaign that's leveraging GitHub-hosted Python repositories to distribute a previously undocumented JavaScript-based Remote Access Trojan (RAT) dubbed PyStoreRAT.
"These repositories, often themed as development utilities or OSINT tools, contain only a few lines of code responsible for silently downloading a remote HTA file and executing
New Advanced Phishing Kits Use AI and MFA Bypass Tactics to Steal Credentials at Scale
Cybersecurity researchers have documented four new phishing kits named BlackForce, GhostFrame, InboxPrime AI, and Spiderman that are capable of facilitating credential theft at scale.
BlackForce, first detected in August 2025, is designed to steal credentials and perform Man-in-the-Browser (MitB) attacks to capture one-time passwords (OTPs) and bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA). The kit
Securing GenAI in the Browser: Policy, Isolation, and Data Controls That Actually Work
The browser has become the main interface to GenAI for most enterprises: from web-based LLMs and copilots, to GenAI‑powered extensions and agentic browsers like ChatGPT Atlas. Employees are leveraging the power of GenAI to draft emails, summarize documents, work on code, and analyze data, often by copying/pasting sensitive information directly into prompts or uploading files.

New React RSC Vulnerabilities Enable DoS and Source Code Exposure
The React team has released fixes for two new types of flaws in React Server Components (RSC) that, if successfully exploited, could result in denial-of-service (DoS) or source code exposure.
The team said the issues were found by the security community while attempting to exploit the patches released for CVE-2025-55182 (CVSS score: 10.0), a critical bug in RSC that has since been weaponized in
React2Shell Exploitation Escalates into Large-Scale Global Attacks, Forcing Emergency Mitigation
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has urged federal agencies to patch the recent React2Shell vulnerability by December 12, 2025, amid reports of widespread exploitation.
The critical vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-55182 (CVSS score: 10.0), affects the React Server Components (RSC) Flight protocol. The underlying cause of the issue is an unsafe deserialization
CISA Flags Actively Exploited GeoServer XXE Flaw in Updated KEV Catalog
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Thursday added a high-severity security flaw impacting OSGeo GeoServer to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation in the wild.
The vulnerability in question is CVE-2025-58360 (CVSS score: 8.2), an unauthenticated XML External Entity (XXE) flaw that affects all versions prior to
ThreatsDay Bulletin: Spyware Alerts, Mirai Strikes, Docker Leaks, ValleyRAT Rootkit — and 20 More Stories
This week’s cyber stories show how fast the online world can turn risky. Hackers are sneaking malware into movie downloads, browser add-ons, and even software updates people trust. Tech giants and governments are racing to plug new holes while arguing over privacy and control. And researchers keep uncovering just how much of our digital life is still wide open.

NANOREMOTE Malware Uses Google Drive API for Hidden Control on Windows Systems
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new fully-featured Windows backdoor called NANOREMOTE that uses the Google Drive API for command-and-control (C2) purposes.
According to a report from Elastic Security Labs, the malware shares code similarities with another implant codenamed FINALDRAFT (aka Squidoor) that employs Microsoft Graph API for C2. FINALDRAFT is attributed to a
The Impact of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) on Identity and Access Management
As enterprises refine their strategies for handling Non-Human Identities (NHIs), Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has become a powerful tool for streamlining operations and enhancing security. However, since RPA bots have varying levels of access to sensitive information, enterprises must be prepared to mitigate a variety of challenges. In large organizations, bots are starting to outnumber
WIRTE Leverages AshenLoader Sideloading to Install the AshTag Espionage Backdoor
An advanced persistent threat (APT) known as WIRTE has been attributed to attacks targeting government and diplomatic entities across the Middle East with a previously undocumented malware suite dubbed AshTag since 2020.
Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 is tracking the activity cluster under the name Ashen Lepus. Artifacts uploaded to the VirusTotal platform show that the threat actor has trained its
Unpatched Gogs Zero-Day Exploited Across 700+ Instances Amid Active Attacks
A high-severity unpatched security vulnerability in Gogs has come under active exploitation, with more than 700 compromised instances accessible over the internet, according to new findings from Wiz.
The flaw, tracked as CVE-2025-8110 (CVSS score: 8.7), is a case of file overwrite in the file update API of the Go-based self-hosted Git service. A fix for the issue is said to be currently in the
Chrome Targeted by Active In-the-Wild Exploit Tied to Undisclosed High-Severity Flaw
Google on Wednesday shipped security updates for its Chrome browser to address three security flaws, including one it said has come under active exploitation in the wild.
The vulnerability, rated high in severity, is being tracked under the Chromium issue tracker ID "466192044." Unlike other disclosures, Google has opted to keep information about the CVE identifier, the affected component, and
Active Attacks Exploit Gladinet's Hard-Coded Keys for Unauthorized Access and Code Execution
Huntress is warning of a new actively exploited vulnerability in Gladinet's CentreStack and Triofox products stemming from the use of hard-coded cryptographic keys that have affected nine organizations so far.
"Threat actors can potentially abuse this as a way to access the web.config file, opening the door for deserialization and remote code execution," security researcher Bryan Masters said.
React2Shell Exploitation Delivers Crypto Miners and New Malware Across Multiple Sectors

Webinar: How Attackers Exploit Cloud Misconfigurations Across AWS, AI Models, and Kubernetes
Cloud security is changing. Attackers are no longer just breaking down the door; they are finding unlocked windows in your configurations, your identities, and your code.
Standard security tools often miss these threats because they look like normal activity. To stop them, you need to see exactly how these attacks happen in the real world.
Next week, the Cortex Cloud team at Palo Alto Networks
