An investigation into phishing activity targeting users across the Middle East and North Africa uncovered SniperDz, a centralized Push-Notification-as-a-Service and Phishing-as-a-Service platform.

Operation CamelClone is a multi-region espionage campaign targeting government and defense entities in Algeria, Mongolia, Ukraine, and Kuwait. The attackers use spear-phishing emails with malicious ZIP archives containing lure documents and shortcuts. The infection chain involves a JavaScript loader called HOPPINGANT, which downloads additional payloads from public file-sharing websites. The campaign abuses legitimate tools like Rclone for data exfiltration to MEGA cloud storage. Targeting patterns suggest intelligence gathering objectives, focusing on foreign policy, defense capabilities, and diplomatic alignments of countries navigating major-power rivalries. The operation's use of public services for payload hosting and data exfiltration makes network-based detection challenging.

An Incorrect Access Control vulnerability exists in INDEX-EDUCATION PRONOTE prior to 2025.2.8. The affected components (index.js and composeUrlImgPhotoIndividu) allow the construction of direct URLs to user profile images based solely on predictable identifiers such as user IDs and names. Due to missing authorization checks and lack of rate-limiting when generating or accessing these URLs, an unauthenticated or unauthorized actor may retrieve profile pictures of users by crafting requests with guessed or known identifiers.

The SPIP interface_traduction_objets plugin versions prior to 2.2.2 contain an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the translation interface workflow. The plugin incorporates untrusted request data into a hidden form field that is rendered without SPIP output filtering. Because fields prefixed with an underscore bypass protection mechanisms and the hidden content is rendered with filtering disabled, an authenticated attacker with editor-level privileges can inject crafted content that is evaluated through SPIP's template processing chain, resulting in execution of code in the context of the web server.

The SPIP jeux plugin versions prior to 4.1.1 contain a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the pre_propre pipeline. The plugin incorporates untrusted request parameters into HTML output without proper output encoding, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary script content into pages that render a jeux block. When a victim is induced to visit a crafted URL, the injected content is reflected into the response and executed in the victim's browser context.
