ShadowMQ Deserialization Flaws in Major AI Inference Engines

⚠️ Oligo Security researcher Avi Lumelsky disclosed a widespread insecure-deserialization pattern dubbed ShadowMQ that affects major AI inference engines including vLLM, NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM, Microsoft Sarathi-Serve, Modular Max Server and SGLang. The root cause is using ZeroMQ's recv_pyobj() to deserialize network input with Python's pickle, permitting remote arbitrary code execution. Patches vary: some projects fixed the issue, others remain partially addressed or unpatched, and mitigations include applying updates, removing exposed ZMQ sockets, and auditing code for unsafe deserialization.

Copy-Paste RCE Flaw Impacts Major AI Inference Servers

🔒 Cybersecurity researchers disclosed a chain of remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities affecting AI inference frameworks from Meta, NVIDIA, Microsoft and open-source projects such as vLLM and SGLang. The flaws stem from reused code that called ZeroMQ’s recv-pyobj() and passed data directly into Python’s pickle.loads(), enabling unauthenticated RCE over exposed sockets. Vendors have released patches replacing unsafe pickle usage with JSON-based serialization and adding authentication and transport protections. Operators are urged to upgrade to patched releases and harden ZMQ channels, restrict network exposure, and avoid deserializing untrusted data.

Fortinet FortiWeb Path Traversal Vulnerability Alert

⚠️ Fortinet has released an advisory for FortiWeb addressing CVE-2025-64446, a CWE-23 relative path traversal that can allow unauthenticated actors to execute administrative commands via crafted HTTP/HTTPS requests. Affected releases include multiple 7.x and 8.x versions; Fortinet provides specific upgrade targets (8.0.2+, 7.6.5+, 7.4.10+, 7.2.12+, 7.0.12+). If immediate upgrades are not possible, disable HTTP/HTTPS on internet-facing interfaces and, after remediation, review configurations and logs for unexpected modifications or unauthorized administrator accounts.

ASUS Warns of Critical Auth-Bypass in DSL Routers

⚠️ ASUS has released new firmware to patch a critical authentication bypass vulnerability tracked as CVE-2025-59367 that enables remote, unauthenticated attackers to log into vulnerable DSL routers exposed online. The update — firmware 1.1.2.3_1010 — addresses the issue for DSL-AC51, DSL-N16, and DSL-AC750. ASUS urges users to install the update immediately and, if they cannot, to disable Internet-facing services (remote access, port forwarding, DDNS, VPN server, DMZ, FTP) and use strong, unique passwords as temporary mitigations.

Authentication Bypass in Fortinet FortiWeb Actively Exploited

🚨 Researchers report an authentication bypass in Fortinet FortiWeb that is being actively exploited in the wild, allowing attackers to create privileged administrator accounts and fully compromise devices. watchTowr reproduced the issue, released a proof-of-concept and an artifact generator to help identify vulnerable appliances. The flaw is patched in FortiWeb 8.0.2, but Fortinet has not published a PSIRT advisory or assigned a CVE, and Rapid7 urges emergency patching for older versions.

FortiWeb Path Traversal Flaw Allows Admin Account Creation

⚠️ A path traversal vulnerability in Fortinet FortiWeb appliances is being actively exploited to create local administrative users without authentication. Researchers from Defused and PwnDefend described requests targeting the /api/v2.0/cmdb/system/admin%3f/../../../../../cgi-bin/fwbcgi endpoint that inject admin accounts. Rapid7 and others confirm versions 8.0.1 and earlier are affected, while 8.0.2 is believed to contain the fix. Administrators are urged to update immediately, review logs for fwbcgi access, and search for unexpected admin accounts.

RCE Flaw in ImunifyAV Threatens Millions of Hosted Sites

⚠️ ImunifyAV, a widely used Linux malware scanner, contains a remote code execution flaw in its AI-bolit component affecting versions prior to 32.7.4.0. The vulnerability is rooted in unsafe use of call_user_func_array during deobfuscation, which can execute attacker-supplied PHP function names when the scanner performs active unpacking. CloudLinux released fixes in late October and backported them on November 10; administrators should update to 32.7.4.0 or newer immediately to mitigate risk.

Rust in Android: Faster Development and Fewer Bugs

🦀 Rust adoption in Android is delivering both security and speed gains, with 2025 data showing memory-safety flaws falling below 20% of total vulnerabilities. Android reports a ~1000x reduction in memory-safety vulnerability density for Rust versus C/C++, plus 20% fewer revisions, 25% shorter code review time, and a ~4x lower rollback rate. Expansion includes kernel, firmware, and first-party apps; a near-miss CVE was fixed pre-release and led to improved allocator crash reporting and additional unsafe-Rust training.
