A high-severity flaw impacting select Four-Faith routers has come under active exploitation in the wild, according to new findings from VulnCheck. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-12856 (CVSS score: 7.2), has been described as an operating system (OS) command injection bug affecting router models F3x24 and F3x36. The severity of the shortcoming is lower due to the fact that it only works

Incorrect access control in the /users endpoint of Cpacker MemGPT v0.3.17 allows attackers to access sensitive data.
A new decloaking technique for nearly all VPN implementations has been found, which allows attackers to inject entries into the routing tables of unsuspecting victims using DHCP option 121. This allows attackers to redirect traffic, which is supposed to be sent encrypted over the VPN, through the physical interface handling DHCP for the network the victim's computer is connected to, effectively bypassing the VPN connection. ### Impact All users are potentially affected, as this attack vector can be used against _any_ VPN implementation without mitigations in place. ### Patches Currently, there are no existing mitigations employed by Quincy. ### Workarounds Disabling DHCP option 121 in the DHCP client is a potential workaround, as it prevents this kind of attack. ### References https://www.leviathansecurity.com/blog/tunnelvision
### Summary Improper input validation in the application can allow attackers to perform local file read (LFR) or path traversal attacks. These vulnerabilities occur when user input is used to construct file paths without adequate sanitization or validation. For example, using `file:../../../etc/passwd` or `file: ///etc/passwd` can bypass weak validations and allow unauthorized access to sensitive files. Even though this has been addressed in previous patch, it is still insufficient. ### Details The check in this line of code is insufficient. ``` if re.search(r'^file:/', url.strip(), re.IGNORECASE): ``` The attacker can still bypass this by using: -`file:../../../../etc/passwd` -`file: ///etc/passwd` (with space before /) ### PoC - Open up a changedetection.io instance with a webdriver configured. - Create a new watch with `file:../../../../etc/passwd`. - Check the watch preview. - The contents of `/etc/passwd` should pop out. ### Screenshots  refers to a persistent attack campaign that employs social engineering lures, with the hacking crew often posing as recruiters to trick individuals looking for potential job opportunities into
