Synology fixes BeeStation zero-days demoed at Pwn2Own Ireland
Synology has addressed a critical-severity remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in BeeStation products that was demonstrated at the recent Pwn2Own hacking competition. The security issue (CVE-2025-12686) is described as a ‘buffer copy without checking the size of input’ problem, and can be exploited to allow arbitrary code execution. It impacts multiple versions of BeeStation OS, the […]
TEE.Fail attack breaks confidential computing on Intel, AMD, NVIDIA CPUs
Academic researchers developed a side-channel attack called TEE.Fail, which allows extracting secrets from the trusted execution environment in the CPU, the highly secure area of a system, such as Intel’s SGX and TDX, and AMD’s SEV-SNP. The method is a memory-bus interposition attack on DDR5 systems that could be successfully done by computer hobbyists a cost of less than […]
Leaked Apple iPad Pro M5 benchmark shows massive improvements
A new leaked benchmark shows Apple‘s alleged M5 chip on an iPad, and it’s almost as fast as a desktop CPU. We know that Apple is really good at designing chips. Most of its chips have always outperformed competitors, including Intel and Qualcomm. The M5 is no exception. As spotted on Geekbench, an alleged benchmark of an […]
DrayTek warns of remote code execution bug in Vigor routers
Networking hardware maker DrayTek released an advisory to warn about a security vulnerability in several Vigor router models that could allow remote, unauthenticated actors to execute perform arbitrary code. The flaw, tracked identified as CVE-2025-10547, was reported to the vendor on July 22 by ChapsVision security researcher Pierre-Yves Maes. “The vulnerability can be triggered when unauthenticated remote attackers send […]
New VMScape attack breaks guest-host isolation on AMD, Intel CPUs
A new Spectre-like attack dubbed VMScape allows a malicious virtual machine (VM) to leak cryptographic keys from an unmodified QEMU hypervisor process running on modern AMD or Intel CPUs. The attack breaks the isolation between VMs and the cloud hypervisor, bypassing existing Spectre mitigations and threatening to leak sensitive data by leveraging speculative execution. The […]
New Lenovo UEFI firmware updates fix Secure Boot bypass flaws
Lenovo is warning of high-severity BIOS flaws that could let attackers bypass Secure Boot on all-in-one desktops using customized Insyde UEFI firmware. Devices confirmed to be impacted are IdeaCentre AIO 3 24ARR9 and 27ARR9, and the Yoga AIO 27IAH10, 32ILL10, and 32IRH8. UEFI is the modern replacement for the traditional PC BIOS, acting as a […]
Endgame Gear mouse config tool infected users with malware
Gaming peripherals maker Endgame Gear is warning that malware was hidden in its configuration tool for the OP1w 4k v2 mouse hosted on the official website between June 26 and July 9, 2025. The infected file was hosted on ‘endgamegear.com/gaming-mice/op1w-4k-v2,’ so users downloading the tool from that page during this period were infected. Endgame Gear […]
Gigabyte motherboards vulnerable to UEFI malware bypassing Secure Boot
Dozens of Gigabyte motherboard models run on UEFI firmware vulnerable to security issues that allow planting bootkit malware that is invisible to the operating system and can survive reinstalls. The vulnerabilities could allow attackers with local or remote admin permissions to execute arbitrary code in System Management Mode (SMM), an environment isolated from the operating […]
FBI: End-of-life routers hacked for cybercrime proxy networks
The FBI warns that threat actors are deploying malware on end-of-life (EoL) routers to convert them into proxies sold on the 5Socks and Anyproxy networks. These devices, which were released many years back and no longer receive security updates from their vendors, are vulnerable to external attacks leveraging publicly available exploits to inject persistent malware. Once […]
ASUS releases fix for AMI bug that lets hackers brick servers
ASUS has released security updates to address CVE-2024-54085, a maximum severity flaw that could allow attackers to hijack and potentially brick servers. The flaw impacts American Megatrends International’s MegaRAC Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) software, used by over a dozen server hardware vendors, including HPE, ASUS, and ASRock. The CVE-2024-54085 flaw is remotely exploitable, potentially leading to malware […]
