Cyber threats last week showed how attackers no longer need big hacks to cause big damage. They’re going after the everyday tools we trust most — firewalls, browser add-ons, and even smart TVs — turning small cracks into serious breaches. The real danger now isn’t just one major attack, but hundreds of quiet ones using the software and devices already inside our networks. Each trusted system can
### Summary A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Cowrie's emulated shell mode allows unauthenticated attackers to abuse the honeypot as an amplification vector for HTTP-based denial-of-service attacks against arbitrary third-party hosts. ### Details When Cowrie operates in emulated shell mode (the default configuration), it basically emulates common Linux commands. The `wget` and `curl` command emulations actually perform real outbound HTTP requests to the destinations specified by the attacker, as this functionality is intended to allow Cowrie to save downloaded files for later inspection. An attacker who connects to the honeypot via SSH or Telnet can repeatedly invoke these commands targeting a victim host. Since there was no rate limiting mechanism in place, the attacker could generate unlimited outbound HTTP traffic toward the victim. The requests originate from the honeypot's IP address, effectively masking the attacker's identity and turning the honeypot into...
Improper Validation of Specified Index, Position, or Offset in Input (CWE-1285) in Filebeat Syslog parser and the Libbeat Dissect processor can allow a user to trigger a Buffer Overflow (CAPEC-100) and cause a denial of service (panic/crash) of the Filebeat process via either a malformed Syslog message or a malicious tokenizer pattern in the Dissect configuration.
Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CWE-770) in Elasticsearch can allow an authenticated user with snapshot restore privileges to cause Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130) of memory and a denial of service (DoS) via crafted HTTP request.
Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CWE-770) in Elasticsearch can allow a low-privileged authenticated user to cause Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130) causing a persistent denial of service (OOM crash) via submission of oversized user settings data.
Allocation of resources without limits or throttling (CWE-770) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause excessive allocation (CAPEC-130) of memory and CPU via the integration of malicious IPv4 fragments, leading to denial-of-service in Packetbeat.
This week’s ThreatsDay Bulletin tracks how attackers keep reshaping old tools and finding new angles in familiar systems. Small changes in tactics are stacking up fast, and each one hints at where the next big breach could come from. From shifting infrastructures to clever social hooks, the week’s activity shows just how fluid the threat landscape has become. Here’s the full rundown of what
A flaw was found in Nodemailer. This vulnerability allows a denial of service (DoS) via a crafted email address header that triggers infinite recursion in the address parser.
### Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-cjwg-qfpm-7377. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ### Original Description In python-jose 3.3.0 (specifically jwe.decrypt), a vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition by crafting a malicious JSON Web Encryption (JWE) token with an exceptionally high compression ratio. When this token is processed by the server, it results in significant memory allocation and processing time during decompression.
In jose4j before 0.9.5, an attacker can cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition by crafting a malicious JSON Web Encryption (JWE) token with an exceptionally high compression ratio. When this token is processed by the server, it results in significant memory allocation and processing time during decompression.
