Rundes Jubiläum beim Podcast! Anlässlich der fünfzigsten regulären Folge besprechen Sylvester und Christopher viel Hörerfeedback, über das sie sich besonders freuen. Sie haben auch viele Themen für die Newsfolge mitgebracht - so viele, dass Sylvester nach zwei Stunden die Reißleine zieht und eine Bonusfolge einläutet. Neben einer neuen RCE-Lücke in n8n gibt es eine Einschätzung zu Bitlocker-Wiederherstellschlüsseln in der Cloud, ungläubiges Kopfschütteln angesichts eines vibecoded PR-Stunts von Cloudflare, eine neue Bluetooth-Lücke und einen witzigen Weg, Anthropics LLMs aus dem Tritt zu bringen.

In this episode, Noel sits down with David Mytton, founder and CEO of Arcjet, to unpack the React2Shell vulnerability and why it became such a serious remote code execution risk for apps using React server components and Next.js. They explain how server-side features introduced in React 19 changed the attack surface, why cloud providers leaned on WAF mitigation instead of instant patching, and what this incident reveals about modern JavaScript supply chain risk. The conversation also covers dependency sprawl, rushed patches, and why security as a feature needs to start long before production.

Es gibt wieder einige Neuigkeiten in der Welt der IT-Sicherheit und alte Bekannte rühren erneut ihr hässliches Haupt. Allen voran die als "Chatkontrolle" bezeichnete Iniative zum "Client-Side Scanning" von Nachrichten, die der EU-Rat unter dänischer Präsidentschaft kürzlich erneut aus der Versenkung hervorholte. Fast genau ein Jahr nach dem letzten Scheitern dieser Initiative zur Aufweichung von Verschlüsselung sprechen Sylvester und Christopher erneut darüber. Auch Oracle ist bereits altbekannter "Gast" im Podcast - dieses Mal mit einer kritischen Lücke in ihrer e-Business Suite und einer äußerst unbefriedigenden Kommunikationsstrategie. Sylvester erklärt seinem Co-Host und den Hörern, was es mit Signals neuen "Post Quantum Ratchets" auf sich hat und warum diese kryptografischen Ratschen den Messenger im Quantenzeitalter sicherer machen sollen. Und dann geht es gleich quantensicher weiter, nämlich mit einer Diskussion über die Vorteile hybrider Quantenverschlüsselungssysteme zu rein quantensicheren. - Einsteiger-Themenabend zu IT-Sicherheit in Hannover: https://aktionen.heise.de/heise-themenabend - Oracles gelöschter Blogeintrag: https://nitter.net/pic/orig/media%2FG2T6vnYWEAAHcB6.jpg - Watchtowr Labs zu CVE-2025-61882: https://labs.watchtowr.com/well-well-well-its-another-day-oracle-e-business-suite-pre-auth-rce-chain-cve-2025-61882well-well-well-its-another-day-oracle-e-business-suite-pre-auth-rce-chain-cve-2025-61882/ - "Passwort", Folge 16: Die Technik hinter der Chatkontrolle - https://passwort.podigee.io/16-die-technik-hinter-der-chatkontrolle - Cloudflare-Blog zum Zertifikats-Lapsus: https://blog.cloudflare.com/unauthorized-issuance-of-certificates-for-1-1-1-1/ - SPQR: https://signal.org/blog/spqr/ - "Passwort", Folge 32: Quantencomputer und wie man sich vor ihnen schützt - https://passwort.podigee.io/32-quantencomputer-und-wie-man-sich-vor-ihnen-schutzt - DJB über Hybrid oder nicht: https://blog.cr.yp.to/20240102-hybrid.html - Folgt uns im Fediverse: * @christopherkunz@chaos.social * @syt@social.heise.de Mitglieder unserer Security Community auf heise security PRO hören alle Folgen bereits zwei Tage früher.

June's Patch [FIX] Tuesday unpacks a lighter-than-usual Windows patch cycle — but don't get too comfortable. Join Automox cybersecurity experts as they break down high-risk vulnerabilities across macOS and Windows, including:A chained SSH vulnerability (CVE-2025-26465 & CVE-2025-26466) that allows memory exhaustion and bypasses host key verificationA WebDAV remote code execution flaw (CVE-2025-33053) actively exploited in the wildMultiple macOS threats, from sandbox escapes to keychain access and privilege escalationThe team also shares patching strategies, mitigation tips, and password hygiene advice you'll want to follow.

Mayday. Mayday. May Patch Tuesday? This month's episode dives into four key Windows vulnerabilities you need to address — from scripting engine memory corruption in legacy Internet Explorer components to remote code execution risks in Remote Desktop and Visual Studio. Ryan Braunstein and Mat Lee unpack what each CVE means for your environment, how attackers might exploit them, and what you can do to stay secure. If your org still leans on that one app tied to Internet Explorer, relies heavily on RDP, or builds with Visual Studio, this one's for you.

Forecast: Cloudy with a chance of SSRF attacks. OpenAI's skies clear, but third-party wrappers bring storms. ‍ This week's episode kicks off with a poll asking listeners which virtual assistant they use—Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant, or none at all due to privacy concerns. The results give us a snapshot of how people feel about these ubiquitous technologies and their trust levels in them. We then tackle the headlines surrounding OpenAI and the alleged "attack" on its systems. While media outlets are buzzing with claims of vulnerabilities in ChatGPT, the reality is less dramatic. A third-party wrapper using OpenAI's API introduced an SSRF vulnerability that's being actively exploited. This issue highlights the risks of insecure third-party implementations rather than flaws in OpenAI's core infrastructure. It's a reminder that integrations can be a weak link in the cybersecurity chain, and we explore how this misunderstanding has fueled sensationalized reporting. Next up is a discussion on cybersecurity labeling for consumer IoT devices that have reached their End-of-Life (EOL) or End-of-Service (EOS). The idea is to inform users when their devices will no longer receive updates, but the execution is fraught with challenges. From complex software stacks to secondary markets breaking communication chains between vendors and consumers, we unpack why this labeling initiative is easier said than done. With home networks increasingly tied to employer networks, outdated IoT devices could become major security risks, especially in remote work setups. Privacy concerns take center stage as we examine Amazon's controversial decision to eliminate the "Do Not Send Voice Recordings" feature on Echo devices starting March 28, 2025. This change means all voice data will be processed in Amazon's cloud as part of its Alexa+ upgrade, which promises advanced generative AI capabilities. Critics argue this move erodes user privacy by removing local processing options entirely, raising questions about data retention and misuse. For privacy-conscious users, this might signal the end of their relationship with Echo devices. We also cover two critical vulnerabilities making waves in the cybersecurity world. First is CVE-2025-23120, a post-authentication Remote Code Execution flaw in Veeam Backup & Replication software. Exploitable by any domain user due to weak authentication measures and unsafe deserialization practices, this vulnerability underscores why blacklist-based approaches are insufficient for robust security. Then there's CVE-2025-24813, a remote code execution vulnerability affecting Apache Tomcat servers that can be exploited with just one PUT request. This attack leverages session persistence mechanisms and deserialization processes to gain full remote access without authentication—a stark reminder of how seemingly benign requests can lead to catastrophic breaches. Finally, we touch on updates from our benevolent overlords, including insights into ServiceNow vulnerabilities and upcoming events like NoiseFest at RSAC 2025. These resources continue to provide valuable intelligence for staying ahead of emerging threats in the cybersecurity landscape. Storm Watch Homepage >> Learn more about GreyNoise >>
