How the build pipeline was compromised

DevOps platform CircleCI on Friday disclosed that unidentified threat actors compromised an employee's laptop and leveraged malware to steal their two-factor authentication-backed credentials to breach the company's systems and data last month. The CI/CD service CircleCI said the "sophisticated attack" took place on December 16, 2022, and that the malware went undetected by its antivirus

### Impact Users of a12nserver that use MySQL might be vulnerable to SQL injection bugs. If you use a12nserver and MySQL, update as soon as possible. This SQL injection bug might let an attacker obtain OAuth2 Access Tokens for users unrelated to those that permitted OAuth2 clients. ### Patches The knex dependency has been updated to 2.4.0 in a12nserver 0.23.0 ### Workarounds No further workarounds ### References * https://github.com/knex/knex/issues/1227 * https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2016-20018 * https://www.ghostccamm.com/blog/knex_sqli/

a12nserver is an open source lightweight OAuth2 server. Users of a12nserver that use MySQL might be vulnerable to SQL injection bugs. If you use a12nserver and MySQL, update as soon as possible. This SQL injection bug might let an attacker obtain OAuth2 Access Tokens for users unrelated to those that permitted OAuth2 clients. The knex dependency has been updated to 2.4.0 in a12nserver 0.23.0. There are no known workarounds.

Security researchers have disclosed multiple architectural vulnerabilities in Siemens SIMATIC and SIPLUS S7-1500 programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that could be exploited by a malicious actor to stealthily install firmware on affected devices and take control of them. Discovered by Red Balloon Security, the issues are tracked as CVE-2022-38773 (CVSS score: 4.6), with the low severity

An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions before 15.5.7, all versions starting from 15.6 before 15.6.4, all versions starting from 15.7 before 15.7.2. A race condition can lead to verified email forgery and takeover of third-party accounts when using GitLab as an OAuth provider.

This Tech Tip outlines the steps enterprise defenders should take as they protect their data in cloud environments in response to the security incident with the CI/CD platform.

ZITADEL is a combination of Auth0 and Keycloak. RefreshTokens is an OAuth 2.0 feature that allows applications to retrieve new access tokens and refresh the user's session without the need for interacting with a UI. RefreshTokens were not invalidated when a user was locked or deactivated. The deactivated or locked user was able to obtain a valid access token only through a refresh token grant. When the locked or deactivated user’s session was already terminated (“logged out”) then it was not possible to create a new session. Renewal of access token through a refresh token grant is limited to the configured amount of time (RefreshTokenExpiration). As a workaround, ensure the RefreshTokenExpiration in the OIDC settings of your instance is set according to your security requirements. This issue has been patched in versions 2.17.3 and 2.16.4.
