Xen Security Advisory 512 v3 (CVE-2026-79604) - oxenstored: Unbounded accumulation of watches

Xen Project released XSA-512 (CVE-2026-79604) fixing unbounded accumulation of watches in oxenstored that can exhaust resources after xenbus reconnects.

Xen Security Advisory 512 v3 publicly discloses CVE-2026-79604 in oxenstored, the OCaml xenstore implementation.

Malicious Apache Modules Hijack Brazilian Government Site Traffic to Push Betting Pages

Check Point links Gambling Goblin, a Chinese-speaking cluster, to malicious Apache modules hijacking Brazilian government servers to promote betting sites.

Check Point Research tracks Gambling Goblin, a Chinese-speaking cluster, installing malicious Apache reverse-proxy modules on compromised Brazilian government and education web servers since mid-2025. The modules divert visitors to gambling and fake app-store pages while stripping the site's security headers, likely for large-scale SEO manipulation. The group's Linux arsenal includes DownPro, AlphaAgent, oRAT, a 3snake-based credential stealer, and SSH brute-forcing tools, and it is tied to Trend Micro's Earth Berberoka. Related SEO-fraud campaigns on .gov.br domains were documented by ESET (GhostRedirector), Palo Alto Networks Unit 42, and Hunt.io.

Numerous X users reported unsolicited password reset emails following the launch of X Money, the platform's new payments service with accounts held at FDIC-insured Cross River Bank. Product engineer Mridul Singhai said the company found no evidence of successful breaches or mass account takeovers, while the Grok chatbot confirmed attackers are mass-triggering resets using public usernames. Users are being advised to enable two-factor authentication and Password Reset Protect while the investigation continues.

X Money rollout linked to password-reset attacks

X is investigating bulk unsolicited password-reset emails as its X Money payments service expands, with no confirmed breaches or account takeovers yet.

X users began reporting unexpected password-reset emails and codes on September 1, and product engineer Mridul Singhai said attackers appear to believe newly widespread X Money access makes accounts worth targeting. X says it has found no evidence of any breach or successful account takeover, and completing a reset still requires access to the account's email or phone number. X Money offers eligible US users interest-bearing accounts, a Visa debit card, and P2P payments, with Cross River Bank providing banking infrastructure. Malwarebytes warns the reset flood can serve as cover for phishing and urges reset protection, 2FA, and unique passwords.

Linux Zoom Client Proactively Reads X11 Clipboard

Simon Tatham reports that Zoom's Linux client proactively reads the X11 clipboard, potentially exposing copied passwords and other sensitive data.

A Mastodon post by Simon Tatham, shared via Lobsters, reports that the Linux Zoom client proactively reads the X11 system clipboard rather than accessing it only on explicit paste. Because X11 allows any running application to query clipboard contents, secrets such as copied passwords or tokens may be captured by the app. The observation highlights the broader privacy gap between X11's unrestricted clipboard access and more restricted display servers like Wayland.

Simon Willison built commit-rewriter 0.1, a small web app for editing git commit messages, motivated by cleaning up Datasette security release commits that contained coding agent cruft and private issue IDs. It runs via 'uvx commit-rewriter path/to/repo' and creates a timestamped branch of the repo state before rewriting every commit from the first edited one to the most recent, allowing easy reversion.

xHunt Campaign: New Watering Hole Identified for Credential Harvesting

Unit 42 tied the xHunt campaign to a watering hole on a Kuwait government website used to passively harvest visitors' NTLM credential hashes.

Palo Alto Unit 42 identified a Kuwait government organization's webpage injected with hidden HTML referencing image paths on domains (microsofte-update.com, learn-service.com) tied to xHunt/Hisoka C2 infrastructure. When visitors loaded the page, Windows would attempt SMB/NetBIOS authentication to the remote share, allowing the operators to capture NTLM hashes that could be cracked or relayed. Related DNS redirect activity on xHunt infrastructure in 2019 pointed to additional credential-harvesting interest against Kuwaiti government email servers.
