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 […]
Microsoft rolls out hardware-accelerated BitLocker in Windows 11
Microsoft is rolling out hardware-accelerated BitLocker in Windows 11 to address growing performance and security concerns by leveraging the capabilities of system-on-a-chip and CPU. BitLocker is the native full-disk encryption feature in Windows that protects data from being readable without proper authentication. During normal device boot, it relies on the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to securely […]
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 […]
D-Link warns of new RCE flaws in end-of-life DIR-878 routers
D-Link is warning of three remotely exploitable command execution vulnerabilities that affect all models and hardware revisions of its DIR-878 router, which has reached end-of-service but is still available in several markets. Technical details and proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit code demonstrating the vulnerabilities have been published by a researcher using the name Yangyifan. Typically used in homes and small offices, the DIR-878 was […]
Popular Android-based photo frames download malware on boot
Uhale Android-based digital picture frames come with multiple critical security vulnerabilities and some of them download and execute malware at boot time. Mobile security company Quokka conducted an in-depth security assessment on the Uhale app and found behavior suggesting a connection with the Mezmess and Voi1d malware families. The researchers reported the issues to ZEASN (now ‘Whale […]
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 […]
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 […]
