- Unauthenticated-to-RCE chain in OpenBao and HashiCorp Vault, built by ControlPlane from three independent reporters' disclosures via certificate auth, URI SANs and ACME. This is only the second-ever RCE in Vault/OpenBao. OpenBao v2.6.3 / 2.7.0 are patched; IBM's HashiCorp Vault is not yet, which ControlPlane frames as a case study in what happens when forks stop coordinating on critical fixes (ControlPlane).

- Terraform providers used as a malware channel for the first time. Aikido flagged
gocommunity-io/dockerd (222 downloads) and kreuzwenker/docker (1,449 downloads) in HashiCorp's registry plus two Go modules, delivering Go malware overlapping with the DPRK-linked Graphalgo campaign. Related npm packages take orders from an Ethereum Sepolia testnet contract, keep a second channel over Slack, and inflate download counts with GitHub Actions workers (The Hacker News) (earlier coverage).

The lure is a job-interview coding project whose weaponised
.terraform.lock.hcl points at registry.hashicorp-aws[.]com, so a developer running terraform init pulls attacker-controlled modules. The Hacker News

- Others worth noting: a CVSS 10.0 cross-tenant flaw in HashiCorp's Terraform MCP Server (one user's token reusable by later users) plus a CVSS 9.5 unauthenticated Veeam Service Provider Console bug, among 11 patched (The Hacker News); and an unfixed path-traversal in Apache Dubbo 3.0.0–3.3.6 (SecureLayer7).
