Wired reported this week that a 19-year-old working for Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was given access to sensitive US government systems even though his past association with cybercrime communities should have precluded him from gaining the necessary security clearances to do so. As today's story explores, the DOGE teen is a former denizen of 'The Com,' an archipelago of Discord and Telegram chat channels that function as a kind of distributed cybercriminal social network for facilitating instant collaboration.
The ABB Cylon FLXeon BACnet controller is vulnerable to an unauthenticated WebSocket implementation that allows an attacker to execute the tcpdump command. This command captures network traffic and filters it on serial ports 4855 and 4851, which are relevant to the device's services. The vulnerability can be exploited in a loop to start multiple instances of tcpdump, leading to resource exhaustion, denial of service (DoS) conditions, and potential data exfiltration. The lack of authentication on the WebSocket interface allows unauthorized users to continuously spawn new tcpdump processes, amplifying the attack's impact.
The application has a hidden administrative account 'cxpro' that has write access permissions to the device.

CVE-2024-9005 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.1 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). 3.3 BACKGROUND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SECTORS: Commercial Facilities, C...
The North Korea-linked nation-state hacking group known as Kimsuky has been observed conducting spear-phishing attacks to deliver an information stealer malware named forceCopy, according to new findings from the AhnLab Security Intelligence Center (ASEC). The attacks commence with phishing emails containing a Windows shortcut (LNK) file that's disguised as a Microsoft Office or PDF document.

The ABB Cylon FLXeon BACnet controller is vulnerable to authenticated remote root code execution via the /api/users/password endpoint. An attacker with valid credentials can inject arbitrary system commands by manipulating the newPassword PUT parameter. The issue arises in users.js, where the new password is hashed and improperly escaped before being passed to ChildProcess.exec() within a usermod command, allowing out of band (blind) command injection.
The ABB Cylon FLXeon BACnet controller is vulnerable to authenticated remote root code execution via the /api/cert endpoint. An attacker with valid credentials can inject arbitrary system commands by manipulating the affected parameters. The issue arises due to improper input validation in cert.js, where user-supplied data is executed via ChildProcess.exec() without adequate sanitization.
