What happened
Multiple high-impact incidents and vulnerabilities reported: a malicious jscrambler npm release (v8.14.0) executes a preinstall hook that drops a Rust infostealer (Windows/macOS/Linux); Injective Labs' GitHub was abused to publish a wallet-key–stealing npm package (@injectivelabs/sdk-ts@1.20.21); npm 12 will disable install scripts by default to mitigate such supply-chain abuses. Critical vulnerabilities and active threats include a Zimbra Classic Web Client stored XSS (can execute scripts in user sessions), six new U-Boot flaws (four crash, two allow code at boot), the unpatched XRING bug inX
