Hello and welcome to the Wednesday, June 3rd, 2026 edition of the SANS Internet Storm Center's Stormcast. My name is Johannes Ullrich, recording today from Jacksonville, Florida. This episode is brought to you by the SANS.edu Graduate Certificate Program in Cybersecurity Engineering. Xavier today wrote about a new wave of phishing emails that contain SVG files. SVG files typically open in the browser and that's the intent here. The SVG file format, well, it's really meant to sort of embed images inside HTML, XML. It's an XML format that basically contains vector graphics. However, in this particular case, well, it doesn't actually contain any graphics. Instead, inside of the SVG tag, we do have good old JavaScript. So, an intent here is really to use the SVG file as sort of a vessel in order to smuggle JavaScript into an environment, hopefully not have it inspected by any kind of content inspection. And with that, essentially to redirect the user to a phishing page. Interesting technique and definitely very calmly used lately. So, if you want to look at the details of Xavier's analysis, take a look at the diary in the show notes. And Google today published its June update for Android. And with that patched one vulnerability that's apparently already being exploited or as Google puts it, maybe under limited targeted exploitation. This is an elevation of privilege vulnerability in framework. One interesting observation here is last month in May, we only had sort of one listed vulnerability. And this was the result of Google stating that they will no longer really explain every single vulnerability they address, but only, well, those that they consider important enough. Now, all the vulnerabilities being listed today are critical or high. And we do have, well, 40 something or so vulnerabilities that are being listed here. So, certainly more active than what we had in May. I'm not sure if this is sort of a subtle change here in policy or if it's just a matter of, well, having more vulnerabilities to patch this month. And HP released an update for its Polyvoice product. This is HP's voice over IP line of products. And, well, this patch does fix a remote code execution vulnerability, a stack based buffer overflow. What makes it particularly sort of urgent is that Rapid7 accompanied this release with a blog post. And there they explain details how to exploit this vulnerability, including the release of a Metasploit module that will assist in exploitation. So, certainly don't delay rolling out this patch. And then we got an update from Ivanti for Ivanti Neurons for ITSM. This update fixes a single vulnerability. This is a privilege escalation vulnerability. So, nothing overly important here. Well, it's rated high, not critical. It does allow a normal authenticated user to escalate privileges to become an administrator. Well, and this is it for today. So, thanks for listening. Thanks for liking. Thanks for subscribing. And as always, talk to you again tomorrow. Bye.
