In a world where coding copilots are supposed to help, the Model Context Protocol’s sampling feature is here to remind us that even AI needs a babysitter. Without oversight, malicious MCP servers could turn your trusted code assistant into a resource thief, a conversation hijacker, or even an undercover tool operative!

The Convercent Whistleblowing Platform is buzzing with security missteps. Missing HTTP security headers, insecure cookies, and an unauthenticated API endpoint that spills customer beans like a clumsy waiter—all part of the comedy of errors.

CISA urges everyone to patch up and stay ahead in the cyber cat-and-mouse game!

AutoIt3 might be the Swiss Army knife of automation, but it’s also a favorite toy for malware enthusiasts. With easy-to-learn syntax and stealthy execution, it’s the gift that keeps on giving—for better or worse. Watch out for FileInstall() in scripts; it’s the sneaky trick that makes mischief possible!

Cisco is on a mission to find out which of its products are playing “vulnerable or not” with a security flaw. Stay tuned as they update the React Security Advisory with the latest findings, product bug IDs, and whether your favorite Cisco gadget needs a security makeover.

React Server Components have a critical vulnerability equivalent to giving hackers a VIP pass to your server. Dubbed CVE-2025-55182 and CVE-2025-66478, these bugs allow attackers to execute code remotely. With a CVSS rating of 10.0, it’s a security disaster waiting to happen. Time to patch up, unless you enjoy living on the edge!

Advantech iView is caught with its SQL pants down, vulnerable to injections due to unsanitized SNMP v1 trap requests. With a CVSS v4 score of 8.7, attackers could remotely access and tinker with your data like it’s their personal sandbox. Remember, folks, keep your firewall close and your VPN closer!

View CSAF: SolisCloud Monitoring Platform’s Cloud API is having a bit of an existential crisis with its authorization bypass vulnerability. Any user can pretend to be a plant manager by tweaking a plant_id in their request. While SolisCloud is ghosting CISA, users are advised to keep their systems tucked safely behind a firewall.

View CSAF: Sunbird’s DCIM dcTrack and Power IQ have vulnerabilities allowing remote exploitation with low attack complexity. Potential risks include unauthorized access and credential theft. To mitigate, update to the latest versions or restrict access. For a good laugh, remember: hard-coded credentials are like leaving your front door key under the doormat.

Attention, iSTAR users! Your certificates might be having an existential crisis. The improper validation of certificate expiration could leave your devices speechless at the worst possible moment. So, upgrade to TLS 1.3 or download new certificates faster than you can say “improper validation.” Because nothing says secure like a well-timed upgrade!
