🔐 Unit 42 found the AgentCore starter toolkit auto-creates overly permissive IAM roles that grant wildcard access to Bedrock AgentCore and ECR resources. The default deployment enables an “Agent God Mode” scenario where a compromised agent can exfiltrate container images, retrieve other agents’ MemoryIDs, invoke code interpreters, and read or poison memories across an entire AWS account. AWS updated documentation to warn these roles are intended for development; Unit 42 recommends creating scoped, least-privilege roles and auditing ECR, memory, and invoke permissions.

🔓 Lloyds Banking Group has disclosed a software glitch that briefly allowed some mobile app users to see other customers' transactions. The bank told the UK Parliament’s Treasury Committee the problem followed an overnight IT change and a defect in the design of the code used to update the API behind the app. Of 21.6 million app users, 447,936 may have been shown another user's transactions and 114,182 may have viewed transaction details during the incident. Lloyds said no full account access or customer losses were identified and that it notified regulators, including the ICO.

🔒 Companies House says its WebFiling service is back after a security flaw introduced in October 2025 exposed data for about five million U.K. companies. The bug let authenticated users view other firms' dashboards — including dates of birth, residential addresses and company email addresses — by navigating back after attempting a 'file for another company' action. The agency says no passwords or identity‑verification documents were accessed, and it has reported the issue to the ICO and NCSC while investigating whether any data was accessed or changed without permission.

🛑 The UK’s Companies House has suspended its WebFiling dashboard after researchers Dan Neidle and John Hewitt revealed a simple flaw that allows an authenticated user to view another company’s dashboard by selecting “file for another company” and using the browser back button to bypass an authentication code. The weakness could expose personal and corporate details for millions of directors and, in some cases, permit unauthorized changes to registrations. The agency is investigating and directors are advised to review their filings.

⚠️ Siemens has issued updates for Heliox EV chargers after identifying an improper access control vulnerability that could allow an attacker to reach unauthorized services via the charging cable.

🔒 SolarWinds has released updates to address four critical vulnerabilities in its Serv-U file transfer software, each rated 9.1 on the CVSS scale. The flaws include a broken access control that can create a system admin (CVE-2025-40538), two type confusion bugs (CVE-2025-40539 and CVE-2025-40540), and an IDOR (CVE-2025-40541) — all capable of enabling remote code execution when exploited with administrative privileges. The issues affect Serv-U 15.5 and are fixed in Serv-U 15.5.4. SolarWinds warns Windows deployments carry medium risk because services often run under less-privileged accounts by default, and while no active exploitation has been reported, similar past defects were abused by threat actors such as Storm-0322.

⚠ SolarWinds has issued four critical patches for its Serv-U managed file transfer server to remediate remote code execution and broken access-control vulnerabilities that can lead to root or other privileged account takeover.
