Summary

Hide ▲

Code-to-cloud visibility is emerging as a critical strategy for modern application security. This approach helps Dev, Sec, and Ops teams collaborate more effectively by providing a unified view of risks from code development to cloud deployment. This visibility enables early detection and faster remediation of vulnerabilities, reducing the impact of security breaches. The average cost of a data breach in 2025 is $4.44 million, with many incidents stemming from application security flaws. Effective code-to-cloud visibility can mitigate these risks by identifying and addressing vulnerabilities early in the development cycle. A webinar on September 8, 2025, will provide insights and practical steps for implementing this strategy.

GitHub Strengthens npm Supply Chain Security with 2FA and Short-Lived Tokens

GitHub is implementing enhanced security measures to protect the npm ecosystem, including mandatory two-factor authentication (2FA) and short-lived tokens. These changes aim to mitigate supply chain attacks, such as the recent "s1ngularity", "GhostAction", and "Shai-Hulud" attacks, which involved a self-replicating worm and compromised thousands of accounts and private repositories. The measures include granular tokens with a seven-day expiration, trusted publishing using OpenID Connect (OIDC), and automatic generation of provenance attestations for packages. Additionally, GitHub is deprecating legacy tokens and TOTP 2FA, expanding trusted publishing options, and gradually rolling out these changes to minimize disruption. GitHub removed over 500 compromised packages and blocked new packages containing the Shai-Hulud malware's indicators of compromise. The company encourages NPM maintainers to use NPM-trusted publishing and strengthen publishing settings to require 2FA. Ruby Central is also tightening governance of the RubyGems package manager to improve supply-chain protections.

Cursor IDE autorun flaw allows malicious code execution

A vulnerability in the Cursor AI-powered Integrated Development Environment (IDE) allows automatic execution of tasks in malicious repositories upon opening. This flaw can be exploited to drop malware, hijack developer environments, or steal credentials and API tokens. The issue arises from Cursor disabling the Workspace Trust feature from Visual Studio Code (VS Code), which blocks automatic execution of tasks without explicit consent. This default behavior can be exploited by adding a malicious .vscode/tasks.json file in a publicly shared repository. The flaw affects Cursor's one million users who generate over a billion lines of code daily. The flaw can be exploited to leak sensitive credentials, modify files, or serve as a vector for broader system compromise, placing Cursor users at significant risk from supply-chain attacks. Cursor has decided not to fix the issue, citing the need to maintain AI and other features that depend on the autorun behavior. Users are advised to enable Workspace Trust manually or use a basic text editor for unknown projects.

SAP S/4HANA Command Injection Vulnerability CVE-2025-42957 Exploited in the Wild

A critical command injection vulnerability in SAP S/4HANA, tracked as CVE-2025-42957, is actively exploited in the wild. The flaw allows attackers with low-privileged user access to execute arbitrary ABAP code, potentially leading to full system compromise. The vulnerability affects both on-premise and Private Cloud editions of SAP S/4HANA. The flaw was patched in SAP's August 2025 updates, but exploitation has been observed. SecurityBridge Threat Research Labs, BleepingComputer, and Pathlock have reported active exploitation. Organizations are advised to apply patches, monitor logs for suspicious RFC calls or new admin users, implement SAP's Unified Connectivity framework (UCON) to restrict RFC usage, and take additional security measures to mitigate the risk.
