CWE-506 vulnerabilities

Smart Slider 3 Pro version 3.5.1.35 for WordPress and Joomla contains a multi-stage remote access toolkit injected through a compromised update system that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code and commands. Attackers can trigger pre-authentication remote shell execution via HTTP headers, establish authenticated backdoors accepting arbitrary PHP code or OS commands, create hidden administrator accounts, exfiltrate credentials and access keys, and maintain persistence through multiple injection points including must-use plugins and core file modifications.

Bruno, an open source IDE for API testing, was affected by a supply chain attack prior to version 3.2.1. The attack involved compromised versions of the axios npm package, which introduced a hidden dependency deploying a cross-platform Remote Access Trojan (RAT). Users of @usebruno/cli who ran npm install between 00:21 UTC and approximately 03:30 UTC on March 31, 2026, may have been impacted. The vulnerability is addressed by upgrading to version 3.2.1.

Trivy is a security scanner. On March 19, 2026, a threat actor used compromised credentials to publish a malicious Trivy v0.69.4 release, force-push 76 of 77 version tags in `aquasecurity/trivy-action` to credential-stealing malware, and replace all 7 tags in `aquasecurity/setup-trivy` with malicious commits. This incident is a continuation of the supply chain attack that began in late February 2026. Following the initial disclosure on March 1, credential rotation was performed but was not atomic (not all credentials were revoked simultaneously). The attacker could have use a valid token to exfiltrate newly rotated secrets during the rotation window (which lasted a few days). This could have allowed the attacker to retain access and execute the March 19 attack. Affected components include the `aquasecurity/trivy` Go / Container image version 0.69.4, the `aquasecurity/trivy-action` GitHub Action versions 0.0.1 – 0.34.2 (76/77), and the`aquasecurity/setup-trivy` GitHub Action versions 0.2.0 – 0.2.6, prior to the recreation of 0.2.6 with a safe commit. Known safe versions include versions 0.69.2 and 0.69.3 of the Trivy binary, version 0.35.0 of trivy-action, and version 0.2.6 of setup-trivy. Additionally, take other mitigations to ensure the safety of secrets. If there is any possibility that a compromised version ran in one's environment, all secrets accessible to affected pipelines must be treated as exposed and rotated immediately. Check whether one's organization pulled or executed Trivy v0.69.4 from any source. Remove any affected artifacts immediately. Review all workflows using `aquasecurity/trivy-action` or `aquasecurity/setup-trivy`. Those who referenced a version tag rather than a full commit SHA should check workflow run logs from March 19–20, 2026 for signs of compromise. Look for repositories named `tpcp-docs` in one's GitHub organization. The presence of such a repository may indicate that the fallback exfiltration mechanism was triggered and secrets were successfully stolen. Pin GitHub Actions to full, immutable commit SHA hashes, don't use mutable version tags.

CVE-2026-31976 is a critical supply chain vulnerability in the GitHub Action 'xygeni-action' used by the Xygeni Scanner. An attacker with compromised GitHub App credentials injected obfuscated malicious shell code into the action.yml file via unmerged pull requests. Although the PRs were blocked, the attacker moved the mutable v5 tag to point to the malicious commit, causing any workflow referencing xygeni/xygeni-action@v5 between March 3 and March 10, 2026, to execute a command-and-control implant. This implant allowed arbitrary command execution on CI runners for up to 180 seconds per workflow run without requiring authentication or user interaction. The vulnerability represents a high-severity supply chain compromise with a CVSS 9.3 score. Organizations using this GitHub Action during the affected window are at risk of remote code execution and potential further compromise of their CI/CD environments.

Trivy Vulnerability Scanner is a VS Code extension that helps find vulnerabilities. In Trivy VSCode Extension version 1.8.12, which was distributed via OpenVSX marketplace was compromised and contained malicious code designed to leverage local AI coding agent to collect and exfiltrate sensitive information. Users using the affected artifact are advised to immediately remove it and rotate environment secrets. The malicious artifact has been removed from the marketplace. No other affected artifacts have been identified.

The OVRI Payment plugin for WordPress contains malicious .htaccess files in version 1.7.0. The files contain directives to prevent the execution of certain scripts while allowing execution of known malicious PHP files. If moved outside of the plugin's directory, they may interfere with the proper function of a site.

"UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED" Certain versions of the ASUS Live Update client were distributed with unauthorized modifications introduced through a supply chain compromise. The modified builds could cause devices meeting specific targeting conditions to perform unintended actions. Only devices that met these conditions and installed the compromised versions were affected. The Live Update client has already reached End-of-Support (EOS) in October 2021, and no currently supported devices or products are affected by this issue.

color-name is a JSON with CSS color names. On 8 September 2025, an npm publishing account for color-name was taken over after a phishing attack. Version 2.0.1 was published, functionally identical to the previous patch version, but with a malware payload added attempting to redirect cryptocurrency transactions to the attacker's own addresses from within browser environments. Local environments, server environments, command line applications, etc.are not affected. If the package was used in a browser context (e.g.a direct <script> inclusion, or via a bundling tool such as Babel, Rollup, Vite, Next.js, etc.) there is a chance the malware still exists and such bundles will need to be rebuilt. The malware seemingly only targets cryptocurrency transactions and wallets such as MetaMask. See references below for more information on the payload.npm removed the offending package from the registry over the course of the day on 8 September, preventing further downloads from npm proper. On 13 September, the package owner published new patch versions to help cache-bust those using private registries who might still have the compromised version cached. Users should update to the latest patch version, completely remove their node_modules directory, clean their package manager's global cache, and rebuild any browser bundles from scratch. Those operating private registries or registry mirrors should purge the offending versions from any caches. This issue is resolved in 2.0.2.
