ProFTPD SQL Injection Flaw Opens Door To Remote Code Execution Attacks
A newly disclosed flaw in ProFTPD is drawing urgent attention because it can let attackers move from a simple SQL injection bug to authentication bypass, privilege escalation, and in some environments even remote code execution. Tracked as CVE-2026-42167, the issue was found in ProFTPD’s mod_sql extension by ZeroPath Research, and MITRE assigned it a CVSS…

NFC tappay gets tapped by hackers
AI was likely used: ESET researchers also spotted something unusual in the malware’s internals. Some traces suggested generative AI may have played a role in its development.Specifically, the injected malicious code contains emoji markers in debug logs, something more commonly associated with AI-generated output than human-written malware. The researchers noted that this isn’t definitive proof…

China-linked cloud credential heist runs on typos and SMTP
Typosquatting for cloud-native espionage: The campaign relies heavily on deception, the researchers pointed out, using C2 domains closely resembling legitimate Alibaba Cloud services. The typosquatting approach allows malicious traffic to blend into routine cloud operations, specifically in environments where outbound filtering is absent.The implant used is an obfuscated ELF binary, with an executable designed for…
