MATHSPACE DISCLOSES DATA BREACH AFFECTING OVER 1M PEOPLE

Online math learning software Mathspace disclosed a data breach affecting over 1M students, guardians, school staff, and Mathspace staff from Australia and New Zealand. The attackers exploited a vulnerability in a self-hosted Metabase instance used for internal reporting. Mathspace did not disclose exactly what data was breached but stated that academic records, authentication credentials, or any data linking records to a school (other than potentially email domains) were not leaked.

FILELESS ELF EXECUTION VIA O_TMPFILE

A red-team loader chains O_TMPFILE with execveat(AT_EMPTY_PATH) to run an ELF that never gets a directory entry, allocating a real inode on /tmp with no dentry so ls, find, inotify, and fanotify never see it, then reopening the fd read-only through /proc/self/fd/ to clear ETXTBSY and executing it directly with no path string ever constructed. The technique sidesteps fileless detection built for memfd_create because it produces none of the expected artifacts: no memfd: prefix, no 00:01 device, no syscall 319, and the only residual signal is the (deleted) suffix that countless legitimate open-unlink-exec programs also generate. Defenders should stop keying fileless detection on memfd_create specifics and instead watch execveat with AT_EMPTY_PATH against anonymous /tmp/# (deleted) executables, correlating prctl(PR_SET_NAME) renames and loaders that unlink /proc/self/exe, since this combination is absent from Elastic's FENIX 15-technique matrix.

TAMPER-EVIDENT AUDIT LOGS: HASH CHAINS, MERKLE TREES, AND EXTERNAL ANCHORING

This article explains how access control addresses the key questions an auditor has about logs by introducing specific mechanisms: hash chains for integrity, Merkle trees with signed checkpoints for an append-only history, and trusted time anchors like RFC 3161 or OpenTimestamps. It provides an implementation perspective on creating a cryptographically verifiable audit trail, including data structures, proof algorithms, and working Rust code. The guidance is based on established standards.

WIZ RED AGENT FINDS ITS WAY INTO SNOWFLAKE'S INTERNAL JIRA THROUGH A FLAW IN A GITHUB COPILOT-ASSISTED PR

Wiz Research's Red Agent autonomous security research tool discovered a vulnerability in a GitHub Actions workflow in the snowflakedb/snowflake-connector-net repository that allowed attackers to gain access to Snowflake's internal Jira. The vulnerability stemmed from a regression introduced in a PR that was reviewed and approved by GitHub Copilot, enabling code execution via template injection. Users of AI-assisted code generation tools should rigorously review code for introduced vulnerabilities. In this case, Copilot introduced a vulnerability by replacing a safe env + jq parsing pattern with direct string interpolation.

BEYOND LAZARUS: HOW NORTH KOREA ORGANIZES ITS CYBER OPERATIONS

North Korea has been shown to run offensive cyber as a self-funding arm of the state, with theft revenue estimated at over a billion dollars annually feeding sanctioned weapons programs. Sekoia and Kudelski Security mapped the hierarchy behind that model, covering the GRIB (ex-RGB), the NIA (ex-MSS), renamed in June, and the decomposition of the Lazarus umbrella into APT38, Andariel, Famous Chollima, and the Sleet sub-clusters. The paper also traces the enabling layer of IT worker units, Chinese and Russian academic pipelines, and front companies such as Ryonbong and Chinyong, while cautioning that constant institutional reshuffling limits how long any DPRK org chart stays accurate.

JSCEAL MALWARE CAN BYPASS GOOGLE AUTHENTICATION USING STOLEN SESSION COOKIES

JSCeal is distributed via fake TradingView installers advertised on Facebook and Google. It harvests browser passwords, cookies, OAuth tokens, and profile information from Chromium browsers. Stolen Google cookies can restore authenticated sessions and bypass login screens. The malware also logs keystrokes, takes screenshots, and sets up a local proxy that manipulates traffic for Binance, Bybit, Ledger, and various other services.
