The software development landscape has undergone a seismic shift in 2025. Developers are increasingly adopting “vibe coding”—a revolutionary approach where you describe what you want in natural language, and AI tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, and ChatGPT generate fully functional code. It’s fast, intuitive, and remarkably effective. But beneath this appealing surface lurks a troubling question: Is vibe coding safe for web development?

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw in WPBakery Page Builder’s Custom JS feature was disclosed; attackers with low-level authenticated access can persist JavaScript that executes when higher-privilege users view the page. Update WPBakery to the patched version immediately and follow the hardening steps below.

A critical command-injection bug in ICTBroadcast (an autodialer / call-center platform) — tracked as CVE-2025-2611 (CVSS ~9.3) — is being actively exploited in the wild. Researchers observed attackers using specially crafted HTTP requests that abuse unsafe handling of a session cookie (the BROADCAST cookie) to execute shell commands on exposed servers. Intelligence firms report ~200 internet-facing ICTBroadcast instances appear exposed, with attackers following a two-stage pattern (time-based probe, then attempts to establish reverse shells). Defenders must treat any exposed ICTBroadcast host as high risk and apply containment and remediation steps immediately.
Attackers long ago learned that successful breaches begin long before the first exploit is launched. They start with reconnaissance: mapping login flows, reading JavaScript, parsing error messages, scanning APIs and public docs, and stitching together clues from repos, DNS, headers and telemetry. What’s new is not that reconnaissance happens — it’s that AI makes it far faster, deeper, and more context-aware, turning apparently trivial hints into precise, actionable plans.

Website hardening is the process of securing a website by reducing its attack surface and eliminating potential vulnerabilities that hackers could exploit. Think of it as fortifying a castle – you’re not just building walls, but also eliminating weak points, setting up defensive mechanisms, and establishing protocols to prevent unauthorized access.

In late September 2025, cybersecurity researchers from eSentire’s Threat Response Unit (TRU) uncovered a sophisticated new malware strain that represents a concerning evolution in cyber threats. Dubbed “ChaosBot,” this Rust-based backdoor cleverly abuses Discord’s legitimate communication platform for command-and-control operations, making detection significantly more challenging for traditional security tools.

Security teams recently uncovered a coordinated campaign that used hundreds of small npm packages and the unpkg CDN as a free hosting layer for credential-phishing redirects. The operation published dozens of randomized “redirect-xxxxxx” packages and generated tailored HTML files that, when opened by a victim, immediately forwarded them to credential-collection pages with their email pre-filled. According to Socket’s investigation and earlier work by Safety, the set totals roughly 175 malicious npm packages with around 26,000 recorded downloads and infrastructure targeting 135+ organizations.
