Fortinet on Wednesday said it observed "recent abuse" of a five-year-old security flaw in FortiOS SSL VPN in the wild under certain configurations. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2020-12812 (CVSS score: 5.2), an improper authentication vulnerability in SSL VPN in FortiOS that could allow a user to log in successfully without being prompted for the second factor of authentication if the case of the username was changed. "This happens when two-factor authentication is enabled in the 'user local' setting, and that user authentication type is set to a remote authentication method (e.g., LDAP)," Fortinet noted in July 2020. "The issue exists because of inconsistent case-sensitive matching among the local and remote authentication."

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a supply chain attack targeting over a dozen packages associated with GlueStack to deliver malware.

The unauthorized access could then be used to perform various follow-on actions like mining cryptocurrency, stealing sensitive information, and even shutting down services. Aikido said the first package compromise was detected on June 6, 2025, at 9:33 p.m. GMT.  The list of the impacted packages and the affected versions is below - @gluestack-ui/utils version 0.1.16 (101 Downloads) @gluestack-ui/utils version 0.1.17 (176 Downloads) @react-native-aria/button version 0.2.11 (174 Downloads) @react-native-aria/checkbox version 0.2.11 (577 Downloads) @re...
