Backdoor.Win32.Serman.a malware suffers from an unauthenticated open proxy vulnerability.

Microsoft on Tuesday disclosed the intrusion activity aimed at Indian power grid entities earlier this year likely involved the exploitation of security flaws in a now-discontinued web server called Boa. The tech behemoth's cybersecurity division said the vulnerable component poses a "supply chain risk that may affect millions of organizations and devices." The findings build on a prior report

A vulnerability in OPTILINK OP-XT71000N Hardware Version: V2.2 , Firmware Version: OP_V3.3.1-191028 allows an attacker to upload arbitrary files through " /mgm_dev_upgrade.asp " which can "delete every file for Denial of Service (using 'rm -rf *.*' in the code), reverse connection (using '.asp' webshell), backdoor.

This Metasploit module exploits a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in F5 Big-IP's iControl interface to write an arbitrary file to the filesystem. While any file can be written to any location as root, the exploitability is limited by SELinux; the vast majority of writable locations are unavailable. By default, we write to a script that executes at reboot, which means the payload will execute the next time the server boots. An alternate target - Login - will add a backdoor that executes next time a user logs in interactively. This overwrites a file, but we restore it when we get a session Note that because this is a CSRF vulnerability, it starts a web server, but an authenticated administrator must visit the site, which redirects them to the target.

Backdoor.Win32.Oblivion.01.a malware suffers from an insecure transit vulnerability due to sending passwords in the clear over the wire.

The notorious Emotet malware has returned with renewed vigor as part of a high-volume malspam campaign designed to drop payloads like IcedID and Bumblebee. "Hundreds of thousands of emails per day" have been sent since early November 2022, enterprise security company Proofpoint said last week, adding, "the new activity suggests Emotet is returning to its full functionality acting as a delivery

The Betheme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in versions up to, and including, 26.5.1.4 via deserialization of untrusted input supplied via the import, mfn-items-import-page, and mfn-items-import parameters passed through the mfn_builder_import, mfn_builder_import_page, importdata, importsinglepage, and importfromclipboard functions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor level permissions and above to inject a PHP Object. The additional presence of a POP chain would make it possible for attackers to execute code, retrieve sensitive data, delete files, etc..

SQL injection attacks can result in unauthorized access to sensitive data, such as passwords, credit card details, or personal user information. Many high-profile data breaches in recent years have been the result of SQL injection attacks, leading to reputational damage and regulatory fines. In some cases, an attacker can obtain a persistent backdoor into an organization's systems, leading to a long-term compromise that can go unnoticed for an extended period. This affect 16.0.1 and 16.0.2 only. 16.0.0 or lower, and 16.0.3 or higher are not affected

By Deeba Ahmed The attackers gain access to the network through decoy documents covering controversial geo-political topics to lure the targeted organizations into downloading and executing the malware.

A notorious advanced persistent threat actor known as Mustang Panda has been linked to a spate of spear-phishing attacks targeting government, education, and research sectors across the world. The primary targets of the intrusions from May to October 2022 included counties in the Asia Pacific region such as Myanmar, Australia, the Philippines, Japan, and Taiwan, cybersecurity firm Trend Micro
