Microsoft has warned of APT groups and ransomware authors exploiting the now patched Confluence vulnerability. We take a look at the dangers. The post “Multiple adversaries” exploiting Confluence vulnerability, warns Microsoft appeared first on Malwarebytes Labs.

Symbiote, discovered in November, parasitically infects running processes so it can steal credentials, gain rootlkit functionality and install a backdoor for remote access.

A vulnerability has been identified in SICAM GridEdge Essential ARM (All versions < V2.6.6), SICAM GridEdge Essential Intel (All versions < V2.6.6), SICAM GridEdge Essential with GDS ARM (All versions < V2.6.6), SICAM GridEdge Essential with GDS Intel (All versions < V2.6.6). The affected software discloses password hashes of other users upon request. This could allow an authenticated user to retrieve another users password hash.

Researchers at MIT have published details about an attack that uses a flaw in the M1 security feature pointer authentication codes. The post Don’t panic! “Unpatchable” Mac vulnerability discovered appeared first on Malwarebytes Labs.

A vulnerability was found in Microsoft O365 and classified as critical. This issue affects the Conditional Access Policy which leads to improper access controls. By default the policy is not verified for every request. The attack may be initiated remotely. Exploit details have been disclosed to the public. It is recommended to change the configuration settings. NOTE: Vendor claims that pre-requisites are very high, the feature works as intended, and that configuration settings might mitigate the issue.
