Sydent is an identity server for the Matrix communications protocol. Prior to version 2.5.6, if configured to send emails using TLS, Sydent does not verify SMTP servers' certificates. This makes Sydent's emails vulnerable to interception via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack. Attackers with privileged access to the network can intercept room invitations and address confirmation emails. This is patched in Sydent 2.5.6. When patching, make sure that Sydent trusts the certificate of the server it is connecting to. This should happen automatically when using properly issued certificates. Those who use self-signed certificates should make sure to copy their Certification Authority certificate, or their self signed certificate if using only one, to the trust store of your operating system. As a workaround, one can ensure Sydent's emails fail to send by setting the configured SMTP server to a loopback or non-routable address under one's control which does not have a listening SMTP server.

Vulnerability in the Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting product of Oracle Hyperion (component: Repository). The supported version that is affected is 11.2.13.0.000. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.5 (Confidentiality and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L).

Progress Chef Infra Server before 15.7 allows a local attacker to exploit a /var/opt/opscode/local-mode-cache/backup world-readable temporary backup path to access sensitive information, resulting in the disclosure of all indexed node data, because OpenSearch credentials are exposed. (The data typically includes credentials for additional systems.) The attacker must wait for an admin to run the "chef-server-ctl reconfigure" command.

Security firms analyze attack paths and seek out weak identities to find compromise vectors and critical assets that need better controls.

Cybercriminals employ obfuscated script to stealthily hijack victim server bandwidth for use in legitimate proxy networks.

When you just keep filing it away to handle "someday," security debt typically rears its head when you are most vulnerable and can least afford to pay it.

The North Korea-aligned threat actor known as Andariel leveraged a previously undocumented malware called EarlyRat in attacks exploiting the Log4j Log4Shell vulnerability last year. "Andariel infects machines by executing a Log4j exploit, which, in turn, downloads further malware from the command-and-control (C2) server," Kaspersky said in a new report. Also called Silent Chollima and Stonefly,
