### Impact The LDAP testing endpoint allows to change the Connection URL independently of and without having to re-enter the currently configured LDAP bind credentials. An attacker with admin access (permission manage-realm) can change the LDAP host URL ("Connection URL") to a machine they control. The Keycloak server will connect to the attacker's host and try to authenticate with the configured credentials, thus leaking them to the attacker. As a consequence, an attacker who has compromised the admin console/compromised a user with sufficient privileges can leak domain credentials and can now attack the domain. ### Acknowledgements Special thanks to Simon Wessling for reporting this issue and helping us improve our project

Audit compliance not only demonstrates commitment to data security and privacy but also builds trust with customers and stakeholders.

In recent months, North Korean based threat actors have been ramping up attack campaigns in order to achieve a myriad of their objectives, whether it be financial gain or with espionage purposes in mind. The North Korean cluster of attack groups is peculiar seeing there is quite some overlap with one another, and it is not always straightforward to attribute a specific campaign to a specific threat actor. This is no different in what the authors are presenting in this paper today, where they analyze a new threat campaign, initially discovered in late May, featuring multiple layers and which ultimately delivers a seemingly new and previously undocumented backdoor. These actions appear tied to Kimsuky and is specifically focused on Aerospace and Defense companies.

The new remote access trojan (RAT) dubbed SpiceRAT was used by the threat actor SneakyChef in a recent campaign targeting government agencies in EMEA and Asia.

Cisco Talos recently discovered an ongoing campaign from SneakyChef, a newly discovered threat actor using SugarGh0st malware, as early as August 2023.

A malvertising campaign is leveraging trojanized installers for popular software such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Teams to drop a backdoor called Oyster (aka Broomstick and CleanUpLoader). That's according to findings from Rapid7, which identified lookalike websites hosting the malicious payloads that users are redirected to after searching for them on search engines like Google and Bing. The

An issue was discovered in the events2 (aka Events 2) extension before 8.3.8 and 9.x before 9.0.6 for TYPO3. Missing access checks in the management plugin lead to an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) vulnerability with the potential to activate or delete various events for unauthenticated users.

A recently patched high-severity flaw impacting SolarWinds Serv-U file transfer software is being actively exploited by malicious actors in the wild. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-28995 (CVSS score: 8.6), concerns a directory transversal bug that could allow attackers to read sensitive files on the host machine. Affecting all versions of the software prior to and including Serv-U 15.4.2
