GitLab's ExifTool RCE Sat Unrecognized for Months
CVE-2021-22205 was quietly fixed in April 2021 — but its full unauthenticated remote-code-execution severity wasn't widely understood until late 2021, by which point mass exploitation had already begun.
QuimaRAT: A $150 Cross-Platform Java RAT MaaS
LevelBlue profiled a new cross-platform Java RAT sold as MaaS. No confirmed campaigns yet — but the price is low, the payload runs everywhere, and the loader is built to walk past SmartScreen. Assume it lands somewhere soon.
Opera GX Patches Auto-Install Mods Flaw
Opera fixed a flaw that let a malicious website force-install a GX Mod and use CSS injection to lift data from pages you visited. Patched; no CVE; no in-wild exploitation reported.
SkillCloak: Scanners Miss 90%+ of Skill Malware
HKUST researchers show static scanners for AI agent skill marketplaces miss over 90% of malware repackaged with simple tricks. If you rely on them, that gate is broken.
Flipper Zero Firmware Goes Maintenance-Only
Flipper Devices says the Flipper Zero firmware is stable at 1.0 and full-time feature work is over. Community PRs run the future, filtered through GitHub Discussions voting and stricter review. Here's what changes.

CVE-2023-2868 was exploited as a zero-day for roughly seven months before discovery — and left some compromised appliances backdoored even after the software patch was applied.
Four More Rollup Polyfill Typosquats Surface
JFrog's disclosure names six npm packages in the Rollup polyfill typosquat cluster, not two. The extra four sit inside the same infrastructure the earlier reporting described, and the audit surface hasn't moved.
WinRAR Bug Hid a Malicious Script in a Fake Photo
CVE-2023-38831 let a booby-trapped archive execute code when a user clicked what looked like a harmless image file — exploited against trading forums before the technical details were widely known.
Metasploit's July 3 Drop: SMB-to-Meterpreter, Peyara
Rapid7 shipped an SMB-to-Meterpreter session upgrade and a Peyara Remote Mouse RCE module this week. Neither is novel research. Both change what your alerts will look like. Here's the tune.
Kairos Took $1M — and Never Encrypted a File
Ransom-ISAC's new case study confirms a ~$1M payment (9.44 BTC) to the Kairos crew on June 13, 2025. Krishnan's review found no encryption at any point — data-theft extortion only, tracked in ransomware feeds anyway.
vCenter's Upload Bug: Don't Expose Management Planes
CVE-2021-21972 let unauthenticated attackers execute code with root privileges on VMware vCenter Server — and internet scans found tens of thousands of instances exposed anyway, against VMware's own guidance.

CVE-2026-33825, the Microsoft Defender local privilege escalation disclosed as a zero-day by 'Chaotic Eclipse' in April, is confirmed weaponized in ransomware. Patched. Ransomware family unnamed.

The Hacker News reports 108 malicious npm, Packagist, Go, and Chrome extension listings tied to the DPRK Contagious Interview cluster. Here's what a dev shop actually does about it this week.
Spring4Shell: Why This One Needed Careful Triage, Not Panic
CVE-2022-22965 leaked publicly before VMware's patch was ready — but unlike Log4Shell, exploitation required a specific combination of conditions that made blanket panic the wrong response.
IGA Was Built Around Employment Records, Not Agents
A contributed piece to The Hacker News from Orchid Security lays out where the joiner-mover-leaver model quietly fails for AI agents. Vendor-adjacent, but the gap analysis holds.
Avalon Framework Bundles Theft, Wiper, CrownX
Blackpoint Cyber says the previously undocumented Avalon framework combines credential theft, EDR-aware defense evasion, shadow-copy destruction, and the CrownX ransomware payload in one multi-stage phishing chain.
Umbrij: ToddyCat Hijacks Gmail OAuth via Browser
Kaspersky Securelist detailed Umbrij, a ToddyCat post-compromise tool that self-grants Google Workspace OAuth tokens by driving a logged-in Chromium session. Nothing to patch. Plenty to audit.
ARToken PhaaS Targets M365 Device-Code Phishing
Cisco Talos exposed ARToken, a React-panel phishing-as-a-service tied to EvilTokens. Device code flow is the mechanic. Conditional Access is the fix, and most tenants still haven't turned it on.
Talos on Curiosity: A Skill That Doesn't Scale
William Largent's Threat Source column this week reads as an essay on board games and pattern recognition. It's really an argument about the load-bearing skill that keeps a defender from becoming a checklist.
