Multiple high-impact supply-chain and exploitation incidents were reported: the jscrambler npm package (v8.14.0) was trojanized to run a native Rust infostealer via a preinstall hook; Injective Labs' GitHub repo was abused to publish a wallet-key-stealing npm package (@injectivelabs/sdk-ts@1.20.21); and wp-shellstorm evidence shows mass WordPress backdooring. Critical product- and infrastructure-level flaws include a stored XSS in Zimbra Classic Web Client (unassigned CVE), six U-Boot firmware bugs (crash and boot-time code execution), an unpatched XRING DoS in Alibaba XQUIC, and three OpenClw
