A critical zero-day in Gogs (the self-hosted Git service) scored a CVSS 9.4 and allows authenticated attackers to achieve remote code execution via argument injection through pull requests with malicious branch names. The flaw has not yet received a patch from the Gogs project, making it immediately actionable for defenders running self-hosted Gogs instances.

5The Hacker News generalThreat Actors Exploit Critical FortiClient EMS Flaw to Deploy Credential Stealer
Threat actors are actively exploiting a critical patched vulnerability in Fortinet's FortiClient Endpoint Management Server (EMS) to deploy credential-stealing malware disguised as a Fortinet endpoint agent. Arctic Wolf's research shows attackers abused trusted endpoint management infrastructure to propagate the stealer across all managed endpoints, amplifying the blast radius beyond the initial compromise.
