⚠️ The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has ordered federal agencies to patch a high-severity remote code execution flaw in Gogs tracked as CVE-2025-8110. The issue is a path traversal weakness in the PutContents API that lets authenticated attackers overwrite files outside repositories via symbolic links, enabling arbitrary command execution. Patches released last week add symlink-aware path validation; agencies must remediate by February 2, 2026. Administrators are advised to disable default open registration and restrict server access.

🔒 Researchers showed that tapping what looks like a Telegram username can trigger the app to auto-connect to a proxy and reveal your real IP address. The issue arises from how MTProto proxy links (t.me/proxy?...) are parsed on Android and iOS: the client performs an automatic test connection before the proxy is added. Attackers can host malicious proxies and disguise links as benign usernames or URLs to log IPs for location, profiling, or DDoS. Telegram says IP visibility is not unique to its platform and will add warnings for proxy links; users should be cautious with unfamiliar t.me links.

⚠️ A maximum-severity flaw dubbed Ni8mare (CVE-2026-21858) affects n8n and can allow unauthenticated remote attackers to take control of local instances by exploiting improper input validation in Form Submission triggers. Researchers say the bug enables secret exfiltration, session forgery, file injection, and command execution. Administrators should upgrade to n8n 1.121.0 immediately or restrict public webhook/form endpoints as a temporary mitigation.

🔍 Mandiant introduces AuraInspector, an open-source CLI to detect access-control misconfigurations in Salesforce Aura implementations. The post explains common Aura endpoint methods attackers misuse, a GraphQL technique to bypass the 2,000-record retrieval limit, and how action bulking can enumerate records. It also outlines remediation steps and security best practices to restrict Guest and authenticated user privileges.

🛡️ Trend Micro has released a security update for Apex Central after vulnerability management vendor Tenable identified multiple serious flaws affecting all on-premises builds earlier than 7190. The most severe is a 9.8-rated LoadLibraryEX issue that can allow an unauthenticated attacker to force the server to load and execute an attacker-controlled DLL as SYSTEM. Two additional high-severity, unauthenticated flaws can cause denial-of-service. Trend Micro urges customers to apply build 7190 and review remote access controls immediately.

⚠️ Security researchers at Cyera disclosed a critical vulnerability dubbed Ni8mare in the workflow automation platform n8n, enabling remote code execution and potential full environment compromise. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-21858, carries a CVSS score of 10.0 and impacts roughly 100,000 servers. The root cause is a Content-Type confusion in webhook processing that lets attackers overwrite internal variables, read arbitrary files and inject malicious payloads. n8n released a patched build (1.121.0); administrators should upgrade immediately and rotate any exposed credentials and tokens.

⚠️ CISA has added a max-severity remote code execution flaw in HPE OneView (CVE-2025-37164) to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog after HPE published an advisory and a patch. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a publicly reachable REST API endpoint and carries a CVSS score of 10.0. Organizations face a narrow window to carefully patch management-plane deployments to avoid both exploitation and unintended operational disruption.

🔒Trend Micro has released a patch for a critical remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2025-69258) affecting Apex Central on-premises consoles. A LoadLibraryEX weakness could allow unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious DLLs into MsgReceiver.exe (listening on TCP port 20001) and execute code as SYSTEM without user interaction. Tenable reported the flaw, published technical details and proof-of-concept code, and Trend Micro issued Critical Patch Build 7190 — which also addresses two related DoS flaws — urging customers to apply updates and review remote access and perimeter security.

🔒 Trend Micro has released patches for on-prem Apex Central for Windows to fix multiple flaws, including a critical remote code execution (CVE-2025-69258, CVSS 9.8) that can allow an attacker to load a malicious DLL via LoadLibraryEX. Two additional denial-of-service issues (CVE-2025-69259 and CVE-2025-69260, both CVSS 7.5) were also addressed. Tenable reported the vulnerabilities and notes MsgReceiver.exe (listening on TCP port 20001) is implicated. Customers should apply updates and review remote access controls and perimeter defenses.

🔒 Cisco has disclosed a vulnerability (CVE-2026-20029) in Cisco ISE and ISE-PIC that could allow an authenticated administrator to read arbitrary files on the server due to improper XML parsing. Proof-of-concept exploit code exists though no active attacks are reported. Cisco assigns CVSS 4.9 (medium). Administrators should rotate credentials, limit who and what can reach ISE, and install the vendor patch as soon as service downtime allows.

⚠️ Multiple Cisco switch models are entering reboot loops after an apparent firmware bug in the internal DNS client began treating DNS lookup failures as fatal errors. The problem began around 2 AM and affected devices log fatal DNS_CLIENT errors (for example 'SRCADDRFAIL' when resolving 'www.cisco.com'), then reboot every few minutes, seriously disrupting network operations. Administrators report affected lines include CBS, SG and Catalyst C1200/C1300 series. Temporary mitigations include disabling DNS or SNTP on management interfaces or blocking outbound management access while Cisco investigates.

⚠️ Hitachi Energy has disclosed a critical remote code execution vulnerability in Asset Suite, caused by a Java deserialization flaw in the Jaspersoft library (CVE-2025-10492). The issue affects Asset Suite versions 9.7 and earlier and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 — allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable systems. Hitachi Energy advises upgrading to version 9.8 to remediate the defect. Until patched, administrators should restrict loading of external custom reports, segment networks, and deny internet exposure for control system devices.

🔒 A critical vulnerability in jsPDF (CVE-2025-68428) affected Node.js deployments and allowed untrusted input passed to file-handling APIs to produce arbitrary file reads and local file inclusion. Endor Labs found that methods like addImage, html, and addFont relied on an insecure loadFile() call, enabling attackers to embed sensitive files into generated PDFs. Maintainers released jsPDF 4.0.0 to restrict filesystem access via Node.js permission mode, but researchers warn upgrading alone may not fully mitigate risk in environments without properly configured runtime permissions.

🔒 Cisco has issued updates to address a medium-severity XML parsing vulnerability (CVE-2026-20029, CVSS 4.9) in Identity Services Engine (ISE) and ISE Passive Identity Connector. The flaw in the licensing feature allows an authenticated administrator to upload a crafted file and read arbitrary files from the underlying operating system. Cisco lists specific fixed releases and patches (pre-3.2 must migrate; 3.2/3.3/3.4 have patches; 3.5 not vulnerable), reports no workaround, and acknowledges a public PoC while noting no known in-the-wild exploitation. The advisory also includes fixes for two Snort 3 DCE/RPC issues affecting multiple Cisco products.

🔴 Security researchers disclosed a critical vulnerability in the AI workflow automation platform n8n—dubbed “Ni8mare” (CVE-2026-21858)—with a CVSS score of 10.0 that allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to read files and potentially achieve code execution on local instances. The flaw arises from improper webhook parsing of the Content-Type header, letting adversaries control file metadata and local file paths. n8n has issued a patch; users should upgrade to 1.121.0 or later as there are no official workarounds.

🔒 Researchers disclosed 11 critical vulnerabilities in Coolify, an open-source self-hosting platform, including multiple authenticated command injections, remote code execution, container escape and an information disclosure of the root SSH private key.
