Critical Zimbra Flaw Could Let Crafted Emails Run Malicious Code in User Sessions

Zimbra is urging customers to apply updates to address a critical security vulnerability impacting the Classic Web Client that could result in arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability has been described as a case of stored cross-site scripting (XSS) that could allow specially crafted emails to execute malicious scripts in a user's session. It has yet to be assigned a CVE identifier. "The update fixes a security issue in the Classic Web Client where a specially crafted email could run malicious code when the email is opened," Zimbra said . "If exploited, it could allow access to mailbox information, session data, or account settings." XSS vulnerabilities occur when an application includes untrusted data in a web page without proper validation or escaping. This allows attackers to inject and execute malicious JavaScript in victims' browsers, which can result in session hijacking, credential theft, and account compromise. Stored XSS, or persistent ...

URGENT - Progress Tells ShareFile Customers to Shut Down Storage Zone Controllers Over Security Threat

Progress Software has told ShareFile customers to shut down the Windows servers running their Storage Zone Controllers, confirming to The Hacker News that it is responding to a "credible external security threat." The company has temporarily disabled access to the affected accounts, a step it says it took "out of an abundance of caution" while it works with internal and external security experts. It says it has no indication of unauthorized access to any ShareFile accounts or data, and that it notified customers after learning of the threat. What Progress has not said is what the threat is or who is behind it. The order became public when a customer posted the company's email to Reddit's  r/sysadmin  on July 10. Progress  confirmed the disruption on its status page, listing Storage Zone Controller customers as "not operational" and the incident as under investigation as of a 12:12 p.m. EDT update. Only the Storage Zone Controller is af...

Injective Labs GitHub Compromise Pushes Wallet-Key-Stealing npm Packages

Unknown threat actors compromised the Injective Labs SDK project's GitHub repository and leveraged it to publish a malicious package on the npm registry to steal cryptocurrency wallet private keys and mnemonic seed phrases. The compromised version, @injectivelabs/sdk-ts@1.20.21 , came embedded with fake telemetry functionality that exfiltrated data from cryptocurrency wallets. The version was released on July 8, 2026, but has since been deprecated on the registry. That said, the release artifacts belonging to the compromised version are still available for download from GitHub as of writing. "The malicious functionality was introduced to the project's official GitHub repository through commits submitted by a GitHub account belonging to a developer with an established history of contributions to the repository," Socket said . The software supply chain security firm said the threat actor behind the attack also published version 1.20.21 across 17 additional @inj...

Six New U-Boot Flaws Could Let Malicious Images Crash Devices or Run Code at Boot

Researchers at firmware security firm Binarly have found six new flaws in U-Boot, the small program that starts up hardware as varied as home routers, smart cameras, and the management chips inside data-center servers. Four of the bugs can crash a device. The other two could let an attacker who slips a malicious image in front of the bootloader run their own code, before the device has confirmed that the software is genuine. That last part is the point. A bootloader runs before the operating system, so a flaw here can undermine everything that loads after it. All six bugs are reached while U-Boot is still reading an untrusted image, before it has checked the signature. What Binarly found U-Boot can bundle a kernel, device tree, ramdisk, and other boot components into one package, a FIT (Flattened Image Tree), and it checks that package's digital signature before handing over control. Binarly went looking for weak spots in that check and found six. Most of the vulner...

Laser Attack Resets Tangem Wallet Passwords on Cards That Can't Be Patched

Researchers at Ledger's Donjon security team  have shown that a precisely timed laser pulse, aimed at the chip inside a Tangem crypto wallet card, can reset the card's password to anything the attacker picks. No old password. No backup card. Once it is reset, whoever did it controls the wallet and can move the coins out. This is not an emergency for most owners. The attack needs the physical card in hand and a lab that Donjon puts at around $250,000. It also means cutting the card open, which leaves damage no one can miss. It cannot be done over the internet, and there is no fix coming: Tangem cards cannot take software updates, so every card already sold carries the flaw. The one group that should act now is anyone whose card is lost or stolen and holds serious value. How the card is meant to protect you A Tangem wallet looks like a plain bank card. Tap it to your phone, and a companion app talks to a Samsung S3D232A chip inside. That chip is a ...

Researcher Details WhatsApp-to-Host Attack Chain Using Three OpenClaw Flaws

Details have emerged about three now-patched security flaws in the OpenClaw personal artificial intelligence (AI) assistant that, if successfully exploited, could enable credential theft, privilege escalation, and arbitrary code execution on the host. A brief description of the high-severity vulnerabilities is as follows - GHSA-hjr6-g723-hmfm (CVSS score: 8.8) - An operating system command injection and an incomplete list of disallowed inputs vulnerability impacting the host execution environment filtering mechanism that could allow for executing or persist actions beyond the caller's intended authorization. GHSA-9969-8g9h-rxwm (CVSS score: 8.8) - An operating system command injection and an incomplete list of disallowed inputs vulnerability impacting the host execution environment filtering mechanism that could allow for executing or persist actions beyond the caller's intended authorization. GHSA-575v-8hfq-m3mc (CVSS score: 8.4) - A path traversal and link f...

New MODBEACON RAT Uses gRPC Streaming for Encrypted C2 Traffic

The China-linked cybercrime group known as Silver Fox has been attributed to a new Rust-based remote access trojan (RAR) called MODBEACON . Chinese cybersecurity company QiAnXin said that while the threat cluster may appear like a low-sophistication, high-activity operation that propagates malware via counterfeit installers using SEO poisoning techniques, it belies their true organizational structure , which compromises multiple distributors. "These distributors conduct activities across Asia using counterfeit software installers distributed through SEO campaigns, leveraging variants of Gh0st RAT and WinOS (ValleyRAT) trojan families," QiAnXin said . One such campaign observed in mid-June 2026 involved a distributor delivering a previously undocumented modular RAT targeting technology, education, and state-owned enterprises in the country. MODBEACON's requested command-and-control (C2) infrastructure is hosted on Amazon and Cloudflare's Content Delivery Networ...

Unpatched XRING Flaw in XQUIC Lets Remote Clients Crash HTTP/3 Servers

A single wrong variable on one line in XQUIC, Alibaba's QUIC and HTTP/3 library, lets any remote client crash the server with a short burst of completely legal traffic. There is no patch. FoxIO researcher Sébastien Féry  disclosed the flaw on July 8  and nicknamed it XRING. He says it needs no login and no malformed packets: about 260 bytes of ordinary QPACK traffic takes the server process down. XQUIC is open-source, so the risk is not Alibaba's alone: any server that embeds it and serves HTTP/3 with the default QPACK settings is exposed. That includes Tengine, Alibaba's Nginx-based web server, which FoxIO says fronts the company's cloud and CDN on sites including Taobao and Alipay. Every release through v1.9.4, the latest, is affected. There is no fixed release and no CVE as of July 10. Until a fix ships, operators can set SETTINGS_QPACK_MAX_TABLE_CAPACITY to 0, which turns off QPACK's dynamic table, or drop HTTP/3 support entirely. The bug lives in how H...
