A new critical vulnerability has been identified in FreePBX, the widely adopted open-source, web-based graphical user interface for managing Asterisk PBX systems. Tracked as CVE-2025-57819, this flaw affects FreePBX versions 15, 16, and 17 and enables unauthenticated attackers to bypass administrator login controls. Once inside, threat actors can perform SQL Injection attacks that lead directly to remote code execution (RCE).

Prioritizing which vulnerabilities to fix across your application isn't always easy. Is it exploitable? Is it reachable? Will the update introduce breaking changes? Are there any other teams using this library that you should be aware of? What does the backlog look like if other changes need to be made? And that's just this week. Next week, it'll be the same thing all over again, with new discoveries, new version releases, and maybe even a new cybersecurity breach.

Netskope Threat Labs is pleased to announce the release of a new open-source tool that detects supply chain attacks. Our new tool, Behavioral Evaluation of Application Metrics (BEAM), requires no endpoint agent deployment and will analyze the network traffic you are already capturing in your organization to determine if your applications are communicating with unusual hosts that could be part of an attack. This tool is the subject of a 2025 Black Hat USA briefing.

In a stark reminder of the increasing risk to software supply chains, freelance talent platform Toptal is the latest high-profile organization impacted by a compromise of a GitHub account that led to the deployment of malicious npm packages with the capability to wipe developer machines and steal passwords. The breach, first disclosed last week, has shocked the developer community and exposed serious flaws in repository security, disclosure practices, and package ecosystem hygiene.

Starting on July 19th, 2025, an npm supply chain security incident has been attacking maintainers of popular open-source npm packages on the npm registry.

The cloud has become the hub of modern data traffic. It offers organizations of all sizes unprecedented speed, flexibility, and countless collaboration options. However, cybercriminals also know how to exploit the power of the cloud for their own purposes, which is why proven security solutions—and service providers who can implement them quickly and in a customized manner—are in high demand.

We are excited to announce the launch of Veracode Threat Research, a new initiative to counter software supply chain threats. Thanks to the acquisition of Phylum, Inc., we are now equipped with cutting-edge technology and a wealth of expertise to revolutionize how we secure the open-source ecosystem and protect your developers from novel attacks.
