A recently patched critical security flaw in Atlassian Confluence Server and Data Center products is being actively weaponized in real-world attacks to drop cryptocurrency miners and ransomware payloads. In at least two of the Windows-related incidents observed by cybersecurity vendor Sophos, adversaries exploited the vulnerability to deliver Cerber ransomware and a crypto miner called z0miner

Today, Talos is publishing a glimpse into the most prevalent threats we've observed between June 10 and June 17. As with previous roundups, this post isn't meant to be an in-depth analysis. Instead, this post will summarize the threats we've observed by highlighting key behavioral characteristics,... [[ This is only the beginning! Please visit the blog for the complete entry ]]

Security teams — who are already fighting off malware challenges — are also facing renewed attacks on cloud assets and remote systems.

ALPHV, also known as BlackCat, created a leak site on the regular web, betting it can squeeze money out of victims faster than a dark web site. The post ALPHV squeezes victim with dedicated leak site for employees and customers appeared first on Malwarebytes Labs.

Move intended to help prevent Ruby packages from being used in supply chain attacks

### Impact Datasets exported to file (e.g. CSV / XLS) are not sufficiently sanitized, to neutralize potential formula injection ### Patches - The issue is addressed in the upcoming 0.8.0 release - This fix will also be back-ported to the 0.7.x branch, applied to the 0.7.2 release ### Workarounds Users exporting untrusted data should open the files in safe mode (e.g. in Microsoft Excel). ### References - https://huntr.dev/bounties/e57c36e7-fa39-435f-944a-3a52ee066f73/ - https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/CSV_Injection ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [github](http://github.com/inventree/inventree) * Email us at [security@inventree.org](mailto:security@inventree.org)

Affected versions of this crate did not require event handlers to have `Send` bound despite there being no guarantee of them being called on any particular thread, which can potentially lead to data races and undefined behavior. The flaw was corrected in commit [afe3252](https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs/commit/afe32525c22209aa8f632a0f4ad607863b51796a) by adding `Send` bounds.

Affected version of this crate, which is a required dependency in com-impl, provides a faulty implementation of the `IUnknown::QueryInterface` method. `QueryInterface` implementation must call `IUnknown::AddRef` before returning the pointer, as describe in this documentation: <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/unknwn/nf-unknwn-iunknown-queryinterface(refiid_void)> As it is not incrementing the refcount as expected, the following calls to `IUnknown::Release` method will cause WMI to drop reference to the interface, and can lead to invalid reference. This is documented in <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/learnwin32/managing-the-lifetime-of-an-object#reference-counting> There is no simple workaround, as you can't know how many time QueryInterface will be called. The only way to quick fix this is to use the macro expanded version of the code and modify the QueryInterface method to add the AddRef call yourself. The issue was corrected in commit `9803f...
