A massive data leak linked to the MOVEit vulnerability has exposed millions of employee records from major companies. Learn about the impact of this leak, the role of the "data vigilante" Nam3L3ss.

A novel backdoor malware and a loader that customizes payload names for each victim have been added to the threat group's cybercriminal tool set.

Until C-level executives fully understand potential threats and implement effective mitigation strategies, healthcare organizations will remain vulnerable and at risk of disruption.

The Acronis Cyber Protect appliance, in its default configuration, allows the anonymous registration of new protect/backup agents on new endpoints. This API endpoint also generates bearer tokens which the agent then uses to authenticate to the appliance. As the management web console is running on the same port as the API for the agents, this bearer token is also valid for any actions on the web console. This allows an attacker with network access to the appliance to start the registration of a new agent, retrieve a bearer token that provides admin access to the available functions in the web console. The web console contains multiple possibilities to execute arbitrary commands on both the agents (e.g., via PreCommands for a backup) and also the appliance (e.g., via a Validation job on the agent of the appliance). These options can easily be set with the provided bearer token, which leads to a complete compromise of all agents and the appliance itself.

This Metasploit module exploits a missing authentication vulnerability affecting FortiManager and FortiManager Cloud devices to achieve unauthenticated RCE with root privileges. The vulnerable FortiManager versions are 7.6.0, 7.4.0 through 7.4.4, 7.2.0 through 7.2.7, 7.0.0 through 7.0.12, 6.4.0 through 6.4.14, and 6.2.0 through 6.2.12. The vulnerable FortiManager Cloud versions are 7.4.1 through 7.4.4, 7.2.1 through 7.2.7, 7.0.1 through 7.0.12, and 6.4 (all versions).

On Asterisk, prior to versions 18.24.2, 20.9.2, and 21.4.2 and certified-asterisk versions 18.9-cert11 and 20.7-cert2, an AMI user with write=originate may change all configuration files in the /etc/asterisk/ directory. Writing a new extension can be created which performs a system command to achieve RCE as the asterisk service user (typically asterisk). Default parking lot in FreePBX is called "Default lot" on the website interface, however its actually parkedcalls. Tested against Asterisk 19.8.0 and 18.16.0 on Freepbx SNG7-PBX16-64bit-2302-1.

This paper provides an in-depth technical explanation, illustration, and verification of discovered attacks affecting PlayReady on Windows 10 / 11 x64 that pertain to Warbird deficiencies, content key sniffer operation, magic XOR keys discovery, white-box crypto attack, and complete client identity compromise attacks.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7135-1 - Bahruz Jabiyev, Anthony Gavazzi, Engin Kirda, Kaan Onarlioglu, Adi Peleg, and Harvey Tuch discovered that HAProxy incorrectly handled empty header names. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to manipulate headers and bypass certain authentication checks and restrictions.

Websites these days know everything about you — even some details you might not realize. Hackers can take advantage of that with a sharp-toothed attack that exploits Europe's GDPR-mandated data portability rules.

Phishing attacks increased nearly 40 percent in the year ending August 2024, with much of that growth concentrated at a small number of new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) -- such as .shop, .top, .xyz -- that attract scammers with rock-bottom prices and no meaningful registration requirements, new research finds. Meanwhile, the nonprofit entity that oversees the domain name industry is moving forward with plans to introduce a slew of new gTLDs.
