Critical Risk: BADCANDY Re-Infection on Unpatched IOS XE
BADCANDY continues to compromise exposed Cisco IOS XE devices via CVE-2023-20198. Close the web UI exposure, patch now, rotate credentials, and verify eradication.
Pokémon & Minecraft-Branded Extensions Drop Malware on Devs
Game-themed extensions on a popular code editor pretended to add Pokémon or Minecraft flair for “vibe coders.” Instead, they executed malware on install, mined Monero, and attempted persistence. Consequently, teams should validate developer workstations, remove suspicious add-ons, rotate secrets, and harden marketplace policies before the next wave appears.
GPT-5-Powered Aardvark Automates Vulnerability Fixes
Aardvark is OpenAI’s GPT-5–powered security agent that reads repositories like a human, validates exploitability in a sandbox, and proposes precise patches. Consequently, teams can cut detection and remediation time without slowing delivery.
State-Aligned Intrusion at a Telecom Provider: What to Triage First
A state-aligned intrusion at a major telecom networking provider underscores the risk of supplier compromise. Because the dwell time likely spanned months, defenders should validate identity access, check for lateral movement, and review customer-adjacent data paths. This analysis prioritizes triage, practical detections, and hardening actions.
Docker Compose Security Alert: CVE-2025-62725 Requires v2.40.2
Docker Compose CVE-2025-62725 enables path traversal that can overwrite host files from malicious compose artifacts. Update to v2.40.2, restrict sources, and audit caches.
TEE.Fail Targets DDR5 , Exposing Keys from Secure Enclaves
TEE.Fail uses a DDR5 interposer to undermine enclave confidentiality on Intel TDX and AMD SEV-SNP. Because memory encryption lacks strong integrity here, defenders should rethink secrets, strengthen attestation, and tighten physical controls.

How Qilin Uses BYOVD and Linux Payloads to Escape Detection
Qilin ransomware now combines a Linux payload with a BYOVD (Bring-Your-Own-Vulnerable-Driver) exploit, enabling affiliates to bypass endpoint controls and compromise virtualised and Windows environments. This briefing explains the attack chain, detection challenges, and immediate defensive steps security teams must apply.
