GIGABYTE Control Center vulnerable to arbitrary file write flaw
The GIGABYTE Control Center is vulnerable to an arbitrary file-write flaw that could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to access files on vulnerable hosts. The hardware maker says that successful exploitation could potentially lead to code execution on the underlying system, privilege escalation, and a denial-of-service condition. The GIGABYTE Control Center (GCC), which comes pre-installed […]
FCC bans new routers made outside the USA over security risks
The Federal Communications Commission has updated its Covered List to include all consumer routers made in foreign countries, banning the sale of new models in the U.S. The Covered List, created under the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019, is an FCC-maintained list of communications equipment and services that the U.S. government has […]
Logitech Options+, G HUB macOS apps break after certificate expires
Logitech’s Options+ and G Hub apps on macOS stopped working after their code-signing certificate expired, leaving users unable to launch them on Apple systems. Options+ is Logitech’s input device configuration app, while G HUB is a similar app focused on customizing compatible Logitech G gaming peripherals. Both allow setting app profiles, button remapping, lighting options, […]
New D-Link flaw in legacy DSL routers actively exploited in attacks
Threat actors are exploiting a recently discovered command injection vulnerability that affects multiple D-Link DSL gateway routers that went out of support years ago. The vulnerability is now tracked as CVE-2026-0625 and affects the dnscfg.cgi endpoint due to improper input sanitization in a CGI library. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this to execute remote commands via DNS configuration parameters. Vulnerability intelligence company […]
New UEFI flaw enables pre-boot attacks on motherboards from Gigabyte, MSI, ASUS, ASRock
The UEFI firmware implementation in some motherboards from ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, and ASRock is vulnerable to direct memory access (DMA) attacks that can bypass early-boot memory protections. The security issue has received multiple identifiers (CVE-2025-11901, CVE-2025‑14302, CVE-2025-14303, and CVE-2025-14304) due to differences in vendor implementations DMA is a hardware feature that allows devices such as graphics […]
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 […]
