This weekly threat bulletin covers 16 security stories including smart TV proxyware abuse, a 24-year-old vulnerability in curl, and AI-powered criminal forums. The common thread is attackers exploiting trust — in legacy credentials, widely-used open-source tools, and legitimate application workflows — rather than sophisticated zero-days. It matters because many of these attack vectors are present in most enterprise environments right now.
Security Architect’s Take: Audit your environment for curl usage across container images and CI/CD pipelines and prioritise patching given the age and ubiquity of this vulnerability. Additionally, review any smart TV or IoT devices on corporate networks for unexpected outbound proxy traffic, and ensure AI-assisted threat intelligence tooling is monitoring emerging criminal forum activity.
