Programmer’s Digest #138

06/04/2025-06/11/2025 CISA Adds RoundCube Webmail and Erlang Erlang/OTP SSH Server Flaws, Microsoft Patches 67 Vulnerabilities, New Supply Chain Malware Operation Hits npm and PyPI Ecosystems And More.

1. U.S. CISA Adds RoundCube Webmail and Erlang Erlang/OTP SSH Server Flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog

CISA has added two critical flaws—CVE-2025-32433 in Erlang/OTP and CVE-2024-42009 in RoundCube Webmail—to its KEV catalog.

CVE-2025-32433 (CVSS 10) affects older Erlang/OTP versions and allows remote code execution via its SSH server without authentication. Systems running versions before OTP-27.3.3, OTP-26.2.5.11, or OTP-25.3.2.20 are vulnerable. Users should update or disable the SSH server as a temporary fix. CVE-2024-42009 (CVSS 9.3), found by Sonar, is a severe XSS flaw in RoundCube, widely deployed via cPanel. Attackers can execute JavaScript when a victim views a malicious email, enabling email theft, unauthorized sending, and persistent browser access.

These vulnerabilities are actively exploited and must be patched promptly. CISA mandates FCEB agencies address them by the specified deadline, and private organizations are strongly urged to do the same.

2. Cisco Patches Identity Services Engine Flaw Affecting AWS, Azure, OCI

Cisco released patches on June 4 for a critical flaw (CVE-2025-20286) in cloud deployments of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) on AWS, Azure, and Oracle Cloud. The vulnerability allows attackers to access sensitive data, perform limited admin actions, modify configurations, or disrupt services. No active exploitation has been reported yet.

The issue stems from shared admin keys across ISE instances in the same cloud platform and software version, enabling attackers to move laterally across tenants and regions once they compromise one credential. Experts call it a severe “chain-of-trust rupture” that risks widespread takeover.

Security leaders are urged to prioritize patching this flaw immediately. The risk highlights the ongoing challenge of common credentials in enterprise systems and stresses the importance of layered defenses and least-privilege access models to limit damage from breaches.

With multiple critical Cisco patches released recently, teams must focus on vulnerabilities that allow pre-auth access or remote code execution to cloud admin tiers first.

3. Microsoft Patches 67 Vulnerabilities Including WEBDAV Zero-Day Exploited in the Wild

Microsoft has released patches for 67 security flaws, including a critical zero-day (CVE-2025-33053) in WebDAV that is being actively exploited. The flaw allows remote code execution via a malicious URL and has been linked to the Stealth Falcon group, known for targeting Middle Eastern entities. Attackers used a .url file in phishing emails to deliver malware, including a C++ implant named Horus Agent. This tool collects data, downloads files, and injects shellcode. Microsoft also addressed a major Power Automate flaw (CVE-2025-47966) and other significant bugs in Netlogon, SMB, and KDC Proxy. The U.S. CISA has added CVE-2025-33053 to its KEV catalog, mandating federal agencies to patch it by July 1, 2025. CERT/CC also warned about UEFI vulnerabilities that could bypass Secure Boot, allowing malicious code to persist below the OS level. While Microsoft is unaffected by some of these, they pose risks to many UEFI-compliant systems.

4. Adobe Releases Patch Fixing 254 Vulnerabilities, Closing High-Severity Security Gaps

Adobe has released patches for 254 security flaws across its software, with 225 affecting Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). These vulnerabilities, mostly stored and DOM-based cross-site scripting (XSS), impact AEM Cloud Service and versions up to 6.5.22. Exploitation could lead to code execution, privilege escalation, or bypassing security features. The issues are fixed in AEM Cloud Service Release 2025.5 and 6.5.23.

Adobe also addressed a critical reflected XSS flaw (CVE-2025-47110, CVSS 9.1) in Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source that allows arbitrary code execution, along with an improper authorization issue (CVE-2025-43585, CVSS 8.2).

Additional fixes include code execution bugs in InCopy and Substance 3D Sampler. Although none of the flaws are known to be exploited in the wild, Adobe strongly recommends updating to the latest versions to stay protected.

5. Researchers Uncover 20+ Configuration Risks, Including Five CVEs, in Salesforce Industry Cloud

Researchers have uncovered over 20 misconfiguration risks in Salesforce Industry Cloud, exposing sensitive data to unauthorized access. These flaws affect components like FlexCards, Data Mappers, OmniOut, and OmniScripts. Most issues stem from improper customer configurations, not the platform itself.

If unaddressed, the flaws could allow attackers to access encrypted employee and customer data, session details, credentials, and business logic. Salesforce has patched the issues and issued updated configuration guidance.

Key vulnerabilities include exposure of encrypted fields due to missing permission checks (CVE-2025-43697, CVE-2025-43700), guest user access to sensitive settings (CVE-2025-43701), and improper enforcement of required permissions (CVE-2025-43699). A new setting, “EnforceDMFLSAndDataEncryption,” helps mitigate some risks.

Separately, a SQL injection flaw in a default Aura controller could allow attackers to extract database contents. Salesforce confirmed the issue was patched promptly with no signs of exploitation.

 

6. New Supply Chain Malware Operation Hits npm and PyPI Ecosystems, Targeting Millions Globally

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a supply chain attack targeting over a dozen GlueStack-related npm packages, introducing malware that allows attackers to run shell commands, take screenshots, and upload files. These packages collectively see nearly 1 million weekly downloads. The first compromise was detected on June 6, 2025. The injected malware, similar to a recent trojan from another npm package, supports new commands to harvest system info and public IP addresses.

Maintainers revoked access tokens and deprecated affected versions. They say the risk of code execution on user systems is low since the affected libraries are frontend-only, but users should still roll back to safe versions. Separately, two malicious npm packages—express-api-sync and system-health-sync-api—were found containing destructive wipers that delete files and steal data, using SMTP for stealthy exfiltration. Additionally, a Python package on PyPI masquerading as an Instagram growth tool harvests credentials and spreads them to bot services, emphasizing the growing threat in software supply chains.
