This Metasploit module exploits a directory traversal in the ZENworks Configuration Management. The vulnerability exists in the Preboot service and can be triggered by sending a specially crafted PROXY_CMD_FTP_FILE (opcode 0x21) packet to the 998/TCP port. This Metasploit module has been successfully tested on Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 10 SP2 and SP3 over Windows.

This Metasploit modules scans for Dahua-based DVRs and then grabs settings. Optionally resets a users password and clears the device logs.

This Metasploit module checks the provided hosts for the CVE-2023-21554 vulnerability by sending a MSMQ message with an altered DataLength field within the SRMPEnvelopeHeader that overflows the given buffer. On patched systems, the error is caught and no response is sent back. On vulnerable systems, the integer wraps around and depending on the length could cause an out-of-bounds write. In the context of this module a response is sent back, which indicates that the system is vulnerable.

A recently patched security flaw in Google Chrome and other Chromium web browsers was exploited as a zero-day by North Korean actors in a campaign designed to deliver the FudModule rootkit. The development is indicative of the persistent efforts made by the nation-state adversary, which had made a habit of incorporating rafts of Windows zero-day exploits into its arsenal in recent months.

A comprehensive guide authored by Dean Parsons emphasizes the growing need for specialized ICS security measures in the face of rising cyber threats. With a staggering 50% increase in ransomware attacks targeting industrial control systems (ICS) in 2023, the SANS Institute is taking decisive action by announcing the release of its essential new strategy guide, "ICS Is the Business: Why Securing

Chinese-speaking users are the target of a "highly organized and sophisticated attack" campaign that is likely leveraging phishing emails to infect Windows systems with Cobalt Strike payloads. "The attackers managed to move laterally, establish persistence and remain undetected within the systems for more than two weeks," Securonix researchers Den Iuzvyk and Tim Peck said in a new report. The

Red Hat OpenShift sandboxed containers, built on Kata Containers, now provide the additional capability to run confidential containers (CoCo). Confidential Containers are containers deployed within an isolated hardware enclave protecting data and code from privileged users such as cloud or cluster administrators. The CNCF Confidential Containers project is the foundation for the OpenShift CoCo solution.

As we head into the final third of 2024, we caught up with Talos' Nick Biasini to ask him about the biggest shifts and trends in the threat landscape so far. Turns out, he has two major areas of concern.

A non-profit supporting Vietnamese human rights has been the target of a multi-year campaign designed to deliver a variety of malware on compromised hosts. Cybersecurity company Huntress attributed the activity to a threat cluster known as APT32, a Vietnamese-aligned hacking crew that's also known as APT-C-00, Canvas Cyclone (formerly Bismuth), Cobalt Kitty, and OceanLotus. The intrusion is
