Five Major Threats That Reshaped Web Security in 2025

🛡️ Web security in 2025 shifted rapidly as AI-enabled development and adversaries outpaced traditional controls. Natural-language "vibe coding" and compromised AI dev tools produced functional code with exploitable flaws, highlighted by the Base44 authentication bypass and multiple CVEs affecting popular assistants. At the same time, industrial-scale JavaScript injections, advanced Magecart e-skimming, and widespread privacy drift impacted hundreds of thousands of sites and thousands of financial sessions. Defenders moved toward security-first prompting, behavioral monitoring, continuous validation, and AI-aware controls to reduce exposure.

Hackers Inject Redirecting JavaScript via WordPress Themes

🔒 Security researchers warn of an active campaign that modifies WordPress theme files (notably functions.php) to inject malicious JavaScript that redirects visitors to fraudulent verification and malware distribution pages. The injected loader uses obfuscated references to advertising services but posts to a controller domain that serves a remote script from porsasystem[.]com and an iframe mimicking Cloudflare assets. The activity has ties to the Kongtuke traffic distribution system and highlights the need to patch themes, enforce strong credentials, and scan for persistent backdoors.
