API Attack Awareness: Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) Why It Tops the OWASP API Top 10
For this Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we thought it important to draw attention to some of the most common and dangerous API vulnerabilities. This week, we’re starting with Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA). BOLA vulnerabilities top the OWASP API Top Ten. And for good reason: they’re startlingly prevalent, remarkably easy to exploit, and can have devastating…

LAMEHUG: An LLM-Driven Malware for Dynamic Reconnaissance and Data Exfiltration
A novel AI-driven threat leverages LLMs on Hugging Face to execute adaptive reconnaissance and data exfiltration in real time. Rather than relying on static scripts or prewritten payloads, LAMEHUG dynamically queries a Qwen 2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct model via the Hugging Face API to generate Windows command-shell instructions tailored to its current environment. This capability enables on-the-fly reconnaissance,…
