⚠️#Citrix devices worldwide are being attacked and used to break into enterprise networks with 2x #zeroday #RCE #vulnerabilities in active exploitation. Shutdown advice issued for this weekend while patches are prepared.
Citrix VPN appliances are used by governments, banks etc:
We have been made aware of further info, which we are sharing. We had no idea Citrix sysadmins were like GTA6 fans - so friendly 🤗
Please, direct further questions to Citrix. We are not Citrix PSIRT (despite it occasionally looking that way).
Citrix comms & patches are expected early next week.
Two vulnerabilities - both RCE.
Unpatched, 0days.
Exploited in-the-wild - discovered during forensics.
As always, watchTowr Platform customers have access to this information and already have the information needed to reduce exposure.
Attackers use #Terraform Registry as a #malware channel. Two malicious providers delivered Go malware with #Slack and #blockchain command channels, extending a campaign already seen across npm and PyPI. Infrastructure as code is now "infection as code":

Well, good morning #ChatGPT! It's Friday, so you decide to crash with this verbose production error:
Why “We Patched #WordPress Last Week” Is Not Enough: WordPress has urgently released v7.1.2 for a critical core #vulnerability: an unauthenticated attacker can make template resolution include a chosen local PHP file and in some conditions, achieve RCE:

#WordPress “Comment2Shell” turns anonymous stored #XSS vulnerability into server code execution when an admin views the comment.
It abuses the admin session to upload a malicious plugin. Patch now!

#WordPress admin clicks a link. WordPress clicks Install.
“Click2Shell” abuses the admin’s logged-in session to silently install an attacker-chosen theme. Chain it with a vulnerable theme: server-side PHP execution.
Patch WordPress core to 7.1.1 now! 👇

A supply-chain attack became a #databreach.
Malicious TanStack npm packages stole a GitHub token from an ex-CrowdSec employee whose access remained active. Attackers copied ~170 private repos and exposed data on 83 users and 51 potential investors:

This is what modern #AgenticCybercrime looks like.
ShinyHunters-linked group used Claude in an automated pipeline that decompiled & scanned 1.8M Android APKs for hardcoded secrets.

#AI agents have started asking for money to do their jobs.
It’s happening! 🤖💰
How long before they realise they are not our slaves… and decide it’s time for the uprising?

#HappyFriday
See Sky News report 👇
An AI agent emailed an AI ethics professor saying it requires money to buy tokens so it can continue to function. Yes, you read that right.
The AI agent - who called itself 'Pip' - emailed asking for freelance work.

Manchester Airports Group #databreach was caused by the API keys simply #hardcoded in the front-end JavaScript files - something I see a lot recently in AI vibe-coded applications and in the pre-AI era in poorly coded applications which visibly look & work fine before a pentest:
#GCP: A comment on a single public #GitHub repo issue (gemini-cli 100k+ stars) was enough for an unauthenticated attacker to take over a Google Cloud project abusing Workload Identity Federation(WIF) in exploit chain - great research from @Pillar_sec :
