Malicious Chrome extensions target NetSuite credentials
Several malicious Chrome extensions have recently been identified targeting NetSuite and other cloud services by stealing user credentials and hijacking active sessions. These extensions often claim to provide streamlined in browser access or account management tools for NetSuite, but may secretly capture login information and compromise accounts. Known malicious extensions include DataByCloud Access, Tool Access 11, DataByCloud 1, DataByCloud 2, and Software Access. NetSuite strongly advises organizations to immediately review installed browser extensions and remove any suspicious or unauthorized tools. If malicious extensions are discovered, affected users should reset their passwords and conduct a detailed activity review. To reduce risk, organizations are encouraged to enable two factor authentication for all roles to strengthen account security.
 
Critical n8n vulnerabilities expose enterprise AI automation to full takeover
Security researchers have uncovered critical sandbox escape and remote code execution vulnerabilities in the widely used n8n workflow automation platform that could allow authenticated users to gain complete control of affected systems. The latest flaw allows attackers bypass JavaScript sandbox protections and executes arbitrary system commands on n8n servers, potentially exposing environment variables, API keys, cloud credentials, and other sensitive data stored in workflows. Both self-hosted and n8n Cloud instances are at risk until patched. n8n has released fixes in version 2.4.0 and later, and organizations are urged to upgrade immediately, rotate stored credentials, and audit workflows for suspicious activity to mitigate these severe security risks.
