Inside BeatBanker / BTMOB: Static Analysis of TV_V_23.apk, a Multi-Stage Android Banking Malware Platform
A static analysis of TV_V_23.apk, a multi-stage Android banking malware platform attributed with high confidence to the BeatBanker / BTMOB cluster. Distributed as a trojanized fork of the open-source LumoLight flashlight app, the sample chains a native bootstrap, a Firebase-driven orchestrator, a cryptominer-and-keepalive helper, and a full operator RAT with accessibility abuse, screen capture, and runtime-configurable banking-app targeting. Covers the full infection chain, anti-analysis design, attribution, IOCs, and defender recommendations.

Twenty CRM Serverless Functions Expose Critical RCE and Permanent Unauthenticated Backdoor Risk (CVE-2026-26720) - PoC & Exploit
A technical breakdown of CVE-2026-26720, a CVSS 9.8 Critical authenticated Remote Code Execution vulnerability in Twenty CRM (≤ v1.15.0). Any workspace member can create and execute serverless functions that run unsandboxed with full access to process.env, leaking APP_SECRET, PG_DATABASE_URL, and all server-side credentials. When combined with webhook-triggered workflows exposed via PublicEndpointGuard, a single authenticated attacker can install a permanent unauthenticated RCE backdoor accessible from anywhere on the internet.

DORA Third‑Party Risk for Mobile AppSec: SDK Governance and Audit‑Ready Evidence Packs
A deep dive into DORA-focused third‑party risk for mobile AppSec, showing why embedded SDKs and runtime providers demand release‑scoped governance because vulnerabilities persist across multiple app versions in the wild and provider outages directly break critical journeys. It outlines an audit‑ready approach built on per‑release SDK inventories and diffs, approval/ban rules, patch SLAs with time‑boxed exceptions, and evidence packs that stay version‑scoped, indexed, and quickly retrievable.

New Roundcube Webmail Vulnerabilities Disclosed : IMAP Command Injection and SSRF via CSS Proxying.
A deep dive into two critical vulnerabilities uncovered in Roundcube Webmail (< 1.6.14, 1.5.14, 1.7 RC4) during a source code review. OVE-2026-8 allows authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary IMAP commands via the _filter parameter due to missing CRLF sanitization. OVE-2026-9 enables Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) by exploiting the CSS proxying mechanism, allowing access to internal network resources and cloud metadata.
