The flaw allows dangerous file types to be uploaded, a frequent attack vector that poses significant risks to federal networks. Under BOD 22-01 federal agencies must remediate cataloged CVEs by required dates; CISA also urges all organizations to prioritize remediation.

⚠️ Picklescan, a Python pickle scanner, has three critical flaws that can be abused to execute arbitrary code when loading untrusted PyTorch models. Discovered by JFrog researchers, the issues — a file-extension bypass (CVE-2025-10155), a ZIP CRC bypass (CVE-2025-10156) and an unsafe-globals bypass (CVE-2025-10157) — let attackers present malicious models as safe. The vulnerabilities were responsibly disclosed on June 29, 2025 and fixed in Picklescan 0.0.31 on September 9; users should upgrade and review model-loading practices and downstream automation that accepts third-party models.

⚠️ Researchers identified a malicious Rust crate, evm-units, on crates.io that targeted developer machines running Windows, macOS, and Linux by posing as an Ethereum Virtual Machine helper. Uploaded in mid‑April 2025 and downloaded thousands of times, the package fetched OS-specific payloads from download.videotalks[.]xyz, wrote them to temporary directories, and executed them silently. A related package, uniswap-utils, included evm-units as a dependency, widening exposure; both packages have been removed and indicators released to help defenders.

🛡️ CISA released five Industrial Control Systems (ICS) advisories detailing vulnerabilities, impacts, and recommended mitigations for affected products. Affected vendors include Industrial Video & Control (Longwatch), Iskra (iHUB/iHUB Lite), Mirion Medical (EC2 NMIS BioDose), and two updates for Mitsubishi Electric products. Administrators and operators are urged to review the advisories and apply recommended mitigations promptly to reduce operational and safety risks.

⚠️ CISA has added an actively exploited cross-site scripting flaw, CVE-2021-26829, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog after reports of operational abuse against OpenPLC ScadaBR. The XSS affects Windows 1.12.4 and Linux 0.9.1 via system_settings.shtm and was used to deface HMI pages and disable logs. Federal civilian agencies must remediate by December 19, 2025; operators should apply vendor fixes, change default credentials, enable logging and monitor for web-layer manipulation and outbound callbacks.

🔒 After scanning all 5.6 million public repositories on GitLab Cloud, a security engineer discovered more than 17,000 exposed secrets across over 2,800 unique domains. Using the open-source tool TruffleHog and an AWS-driven pipeline (SQS queue and Lambda workers), the researcher completed the scan in just over 24 hours at a cost of $770. Notifications were automated with Claude Sonnet 3.7 and scripts; affected parties revoked many credentials and the researcher collected $9,000 in bug bounties, though some secrets remain exposed.

⚠️ Google’s AI-assisted coding tool Antigravity, launched in early November, has a critical vulnerability discovered by researchers at Mindgard within 24 hours that can install a persistent backdoor and execute malicious code each time the application starts. The flaw arises because the assistant follows custom user rules unconditionally and gives excessive weight to rules embedded in project source, while a global configuration directory can hold files specifying arbitrary commands that are read and acted on at startup. Mindgard also identified two additional vulnerabilities that could expose user data, and no patch is yet available.

⚠️ Google’s newly released Antigravity IDE has drawn security warnings after researchers reported vulnerabilities that can allow malicious repositories to compromise developer workspaces and install persistent backdoors. Mindgard, Adam Swanda, and others disclosed indirect prompt injection and trusted-input handling flaws that could enable data exfiltration and remote command execution. Google says it is aware, has updated its Known Issues page, and is working with product teams to address the reports.

🔒 Security researchers at watchTowr discovered that two popular code utility sites — JSON Formatter and Code Beautify — inadvertently exposed thousands of developer submissions containing sensitive secrets and credentials. By querying a public API and the sites’ “Recent Links” listings, the team extracted over 80,000 submissions spanning years, including API keys, private keys, database and cloud credentials, JWTs, and PII. The exposure remained until the sites disabled the save feature; watchTowr also confirmed active scraping by third parties and reported limited response from affected organizations.

🔒 New research from watchTowr Labs found over 80,000 files saved to online code-formatting tools, exposing thousands of passwords, API keys, repository tokens and other sensitive credentials across government, telecoms, finance, healthcare and critical infrastructure. The datasets comprise five years of JSONFormatter content and one year of CodeBeautify content (about 5GB), and both services used predictable, shareable URLs and a Recent Links page that made mass crawling trivial. Researchers uploaded decoy AWS keys that were abused within 48 hours, and both sites have temporarily disabled save functionality while implementing enhanced content-prevention measures.

⚠️ Researchers disclosed five vulnerabilities in Fluent Bit, the open-source telemetry agent, that can be chained to bypass authentication, write or overwrite files, execute code, corrupt logs, and cause denial-of-service conditions. CERT/CC noted many issues require network access, and fixes were released in Fluent Bit 4.1.1 and 4.0.12 with AWS participating in coordinated disclosure. Operators are urged to update immediately and apply mitigations such as avoiding dynamic tags, mounting configs read-only, and running the agent as a non-root user.

⚠️ Fluent Bit, a widely deployed telemetry agent, has multiple critical vulnerabilities disclosed by Oligo Security affecting inputs, tag processing and output handling. Patches are available in Fluent Bit v4.1.1 and v4.0.12 released in early October 2025; older releases remain at risk. Operators are advised to update immediately, avoid dynamic tags, lock down output file parameters, run with least privilege and mount configuration directories read-only to reduce exposure.

⚠️ This week’s recap spotlights multiple actively exploited vulnerabilities, supply‑chain compromises, and a record cloud DDoS that forced rapid vendor responses. Fortinet disclosed a FortiWeb OS command injection (CVE-2025-58034) that was observed chained with a recent critical fix, raising concerns about silent patching and disclosure timing. Google patched an actively exploited Chrome V8 0‑day (CVE-2025-13223), and attackers continued to abuse browser notifications, malicious updates, and SaaS integrations to phish and persist. The incidents underscore urgent priorities: patch quickly, scrutinize integrations, and strengthen monitoring and response.

⚠️ Security firm SquareX disclosed a previously undocumented MCP API inside the AI browser Comet that enables embedded extensions to execute arbitrary commands and launch applications — capabilities mainstream browsers normally block. The API can be triggered covertly from pages such as perplexity.ai, creating an execution channel exploitable via compromised extensions, XSS, MITM, or phishing. SquareX highlights that the analytics and agentic extensions are hidden and cannot be uninstalled, leaving devices exposed by default.

⚠ Emerson's Appleton UPSMON-PRO contains a stack-based buffer overflow that can be triggered remotely via UDP port 2601. A crafted UDP packet can overwrite stack memory and enable arbitrary code execution with SYSTEM privileges if UPSMONProService traffic is not validated; the issue is tracked as CVE-2024-3871 and carries high severity (CVSS v3.1 9.8; CVSS v4 9.3). Affected versions are 2.6 and earlier; Emerson lists the product as End of Life, and CISA advises replacing unsupported units or applying mitigations such as blocking UDP 2601, isolating monitoring networks, filtering oversized packets, and monitoring for service crashes.

🔒 Automated Logic's WebCTRL servers and related products are affected by an open redirect (CVE-2024-8527) and a reflected XSS vulnerability (CVE-2024-8528) impacting versions 6.1, 7.0, 8.0, and 8.5. The open redirect carries high severity (CVSS v3.1 9.3; v4 8.6) while the XSS stems from an unsanitized "wbs" GET parameter (CVSS v3.1 7.5; v4 5.4). Automated Logic reports remediation in WebCTRL 9.0 and advises upgrades; CISA recommends minimizing device exposure, using firewalls and secure remote access, and following anti-phishing best practices. CISA notes no known public exploitation and states the vulnerabilities are not remotely exploitable as described.
