Cofense Intelligence's May 2025 report exposes how cybercriminals are abusing legitimate Remote Access Tools (RATs) like ConnectWise and Splashtop to deliver malware and steal data. Learn about this growing threat.

Operation Endgame takes down DanaBot malware network; 300 servers neutralized, €21.2M in crypto seized, 16 charged, 20 international warrants.

Talos analyzed six months of PowerShell network telemetry and found that rare domains are over three times more likely to be malicious compared to frequently contacted ones.

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered an indirect prompt injection flaw in GitLab's artificial intelligence (AI) assistant Duo that could have allowed attackers to steal source code and inject untrusted HTML into its responses, which could then be used to direct victims to malicious websites. GitLab Duo is an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered coding assistant that enables users to write,

ABB Cylon Aspect BMS/BAS is vulnerable to a critical flaw in the AuthenticatedHttpServlet within its application server, enabling remote attackers to bypass authentication by setting the Host: 127.0.0.1 header. This deceives the server into processing requests as if they originate from localhost, granting unauthorized access to privileged operations. This bypass grants access to privileged functionality, including the DeplomentServlet, which is vulnerable to directory traversal. By leveraging this, an attacker can write arbitrary PHP files outside the intended directory scope. When combined, these issues allow remote attackers to upload a malicious PHP shell and execute system commands with the privileges of the web server, leading to full system compromise.

ABB Cylon Aspect BMS/BAS is vulnerable to a critical flaw in the AuthenticatedHttpServlet within its application server, enabling remote attackers to bypass authentication by setting the Host: 127.0.0.1 header. This deceives the server into processing requests as if they originate from localhost, granting unauthorized access to privileged operations. Specifically, this vulnerability impacts the UserManager and GroupManager servlets, allowing unauthenticated attackers to create and remove users and groups without credentials. The flaw stems from the servlet’s automatic authorization of localhost requests as the aamuser account, exposing these sensitive functions to both local and remote exploitation. By leveraging this bypass, attackers can manipulate user and group configurations, potentially escalating privileges or disrupting system access controls.

The ABB BMS/BAS controller suffers from an authenticated blind OS command injection vulnerability. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands through the 'instance' HTTP POST parameter called by the logMixDownload.php script and dependant on SELECTED=ALL case.

The ABB BMS/BAS controller suffers from an authenticated blind OS command injection vulnerability. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands through the 'instance' HTTP POST parameter called by the productRemovalUpdate.php script. The token (key POST param) needs to be set to 159 to trigger the command execution.

ABB Cylon Aspect MIX's IPConfigServlet allows unauthenticated network config changes via the Host: 127.0.0.1 bypass, writing to /etc/hosts and config files. Attackers can redirect traffic (e.g. localhost to 1.2.3.4) or disrupt connectivity, amplifying impact with network restarts.
