Popular collaboration product Zimbra has warned customers to apply a software patch urgently to close a security hole that it says "Could potentially impact the confidentiality and integrity of your data." The vulnerability is what's known as an XSS bug, short for cross-site scripting, whereby performing an innocent-looking operation via site X, such as clicking through to site Y, gives the operator of site X a sneaky chance to implant rogue JavaScript code into the web pages that your browser receives back from Y. This, in turn, means that X may end up with access to your account on site Y, by reading out and perhaps even modifying data that would otherwise be private to Y, such as your account details, login cookies, authentication tokens, transaction history, and so on.
Clickjacking, very simply put, is where an attacker lures you to a part of the screen that looks safe to click on, and tricks you into clicking your mouse or tapping your finger on the spot marked X. only to have your click sent to a component in the web page that you definitely wouldn't have clicked on if only you'd known where your click was really going. Serve up content as a lure, showing a button or something of that sort that you'd be likely to see and want to click on.
Enterprise security firm Barracuda on Tuesday disclosed that a recently patched zero-day flaw in its Email Security Gateway appliances had been abused by threat actors since October 2022 to backdoor the devices.

Apple's App Store rules mean that all browsers on iPhones and iPads must use WebKit, making this sort of bug a truly cross-browser problem for mobile Apple devices.Kernel code execution bugs are inevitably much more serious than app-level bugs, because the kernel is responsible for managing the security of the entire system, including what permissions apps can acquire, and how freely apps can share files and data between themselves.
Google has just revealed a fourfecta of critical zero-day bugs affecting a wide range of Android phones, including some of its own Pixel models. The four bugs we're talking about here are known as baseband vulnerabilities, meaning that they exist in the special mobile phone networking firmware that runs on the phone's so-called baseband chip.
