SANS Institute Unveils Critical Infrastructure Strategy Guide for 2024: A Call to Action for Securing ICS/OT Environments

A comprehensive guide authored by Dean Parsons emphasizes the growing need for specialized ICS security measures in the face of rising cyber threats. With a staggering 50% increase in ransomware attacks targeting industrial control systems (ICS) in 2023, the SANS Institute is taking decisive action by announcing the release of its essential new strategy guide, "ICS Is the Business: Why Securing

New Cyberattack Targets Chinese-Speaking Businesses with Cobalt Strike Payloads

Chinese-speaking users are the target of a "highly organized and sophisticated attack" campaign that is likely leveraging phishing emails to infect Windows systems with Cobalt Strike payloads.

Exploring the OpenShift confidential containers solution

Red Hat OpenShift sandboxed containers, built on Kata Containers, now provide the additional capability to run confidential containers (CoCo). Confidential Containers are containers deployed within an isolated hardware enclave protecting data and code from privileged users such as cloud or cluster administrators. The CNCF Confidential Containers project is the foundation for the OpenShift CoCo solution. You can read more about the CNCF CoCo project in our previous blog What is the Confidential Containers project?Confidential Containers are available from OpenShift sandboxed containers release

GHSA-4rr6-2v9v-wcpc: CRLF Injection in RestSharp's `RestRequest.AddHeader` method

### Summary The second argument to `RestRequest.AddHeader` (the header value) is vulnerable to CRLF injection. The same applies to `RestRequest.AddOrUpdateHeader` and `RestClient.AddDefaultHeader`. ### Details The way HTTP headers are added to a request is via the `HttpHeaders.TryAddWithoutValidation` method: <https://github.com/restsharp/RestSharp/blob/777bf194ec2d14271e7807cc704e73ec18fcaf7e/src/RestSharp/Request/HttpRequestMessageExtensions.cs#L32> This method does not check for CRLF characters in the header value. This means that any headers from a `RestSharp.RequestHeaders` object are added to the request in such a way that they are vulnerable to CRLF-injection. In general, CRLF-injection into a HTTP header (when using HTTP/1.1) means that one can inject additional HTTP headers or smuggle whole HTTP requests. ### PoC The below example code creates a console app that takes one command line variable "api key" and then makes a request to some status page with the provided key inse...

GHSA-5x5q-cqf6-gj8r: Serilog Client IP Spoofing vulnerability

Serilog (before v2.1.0) contains a Client IP Spoofing vulnerability, which allows attackers to falsify their IP addresses in log files by specifying an arbitrary IP as a value of X-Forwarded-For or Client-Ip headers while performing HTTP requests. It is not possible to configure Serilog.Enrichers.ClientInfo to not trust the X-Forwarded-For header.

GHSA-mgwr-h7mv-fh29: Hwameistor Potential Permission Leakage of Cluster Level

### Impact _What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?_ This ClusterRole has * verbs of * resources. If a malicious user can access the worker node which has hwameistor's deployment, he/she can abuse these excessive permissions to do whatever he/she likes to the whole cluster, resulting in a cluster-level privilege escalation. ### Patches _Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_ >= v0.14.6 ### Workarounds _Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?_ Update and Limit the ClusterRole using [security-role](https://github.com/hwameistor/hwameistor/blob/main/helm/hwameistor/templates/clusterrole.yaml). ### References _Are there any links users can visit to find out more?_ issues: https://github.com/hwameistor/hwameistor/issues/1457 https://github.com/hwameistor/hwameistor/issues/1460 also reported by users via mails: [sparkEchooo](https://github.com/sparkEchooo), [younaman](https://github.com/younaman)
