🛡️MITRE has published its annual CWE Top 25, ranking the most dangerous software weaknesses identified from 39,080 CVEs. Cross-site scripting (XSS) remains top, with SQL injection and cross-site request forgery following; several memory- and injection-related flaws shifted positions. New entries include classic, stack and heap buffer overflows, improper access control, authorization bypass via user-controlled keys, and resource allocation issues. Experts warn that weak credential protection and authorization failures are driving growing real-world risk in SaaS and API-driven environments.

⚠️ Advantech iView versions 5.7.05.7057 and earlier are affected by an SQL injection vulnerability in SNMP v1 trap handling (port 162) that can be exploited remotely with low attack complexity.

Advantech recommends updating to iView v5.8.1; CISA advises network isolation, firewalls, and secure remote access.

🛡️ This advisory details an SQL injection vulnerability in Siemens SINEC NMS (versions prior to V4.0 SP1) affecting the getTotalAndFilterCounts endpoint. Assigned CVE-2025-40755 with high severity (CVSS v3.1 8.8 / CVSS v4 8.7), an authenticated low-privilege attacker could inject SQL to insert data and escalate privileges. Siemens advises updating to V4.0 SP1 or later and applying network protections such as segmentation and firewalls; CISA reports no known public exploitation.

🔍 Researchers at ESET disclosed a previously undocumented campaign named GhostRedirector that has compromised at least 65 Windows servers mainly in Brazil, Thailand and Vietnam. The intruders deployed a passive C++ backdoor, Rungan, alongside a native IIS module, Gamshen, which selectively alters responses for Googlebot to perform SEO fraud. Initial access appears linked to SQL injection and abuse of xp_cmdshell, with subsequent PowerShell retrievals from a staging host.

🔒 A critical unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2025-49870) was discovered in the WordPress Paid Memberships Subscriptions plugin affecting versions up to 2.15.1, used by over 10,000 sites. Patchstack Alliance researcher ChuongVN reported the flaw, which stems from unsafe handling of PayPal IPN payment IDs. The vendor released 2.15.2 to enforce numeric validation of payment IDs, adopt prepared statements and strengthen input handling; administrators should update immediately.
