The proliferation of new top-level domains (TLDs) has exacerbated a well-known security weakness: Many organizations set up their internal Microsoft authentication systems years ago using domain names in TLDs that didn't exist at the time. Meaning, they are continuously sending their Windows usernames and passwords to domain names they do not control and which are freely available for anyone to register. Here's a look at one security researcher's efforts to map and shrink the size of this insidious problem.

The threat actors behind a recently observed Qilin ransomware attack have stolen credentials stored in Google Chrome browsers on a small set of compromised endpoints. The use of credential harvesting in connection with a ransomware infection marks an unusual twist, and one that could have cascading consequences, cybersecurity firm Sophos said in a Thursday report. The attack, detected in July

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a new information stealer that's designed to target Apple macOS hosts and harvest a wide range of information, underscoring how threat actors are increasingly setting their sights on the operating system. Dubbed Cthulhu Stealer, the malware has been available under a malware-as-a-service (MaaS) model for $500 a month from late 2023. It's capable of

It’s not unusual for a threat actor to exaggerate the extent of a hack or breach to drum up interest, and hopefully, the eventual purchase or ransom price.

### Summary The `gix` and `ein` commands write pathnames and other metadata literally to terminals, even if they contain characters terminals treat specially, including ANSI escape sequences. This sometimes allows an untrusted repository to misrepresent its contents and to alter or concoct error messages. ### Details `gitoxide-core`, which provides most underlying functionality of the `gix` and `ein` commands, does not neutralize newlines, backspaces, or control characters—including those that form ANSI escape sequences—that appear in a repository's paths, author and committer names, commit messages, or other metadata. Such text may be written as part of the output of a command, as well as appearing in error messages when an operation fails. ANSI escape sequences are of particular concern because, when printed to a terminal, they can change colors, including to render subsequent text unreadable; reposition the cursor to write text in a different location, including where text has a...

Details have emerged about a China-nexus threat group's exploitation of a recently disclosed, now-patched security flaw in Cisco switches as a zero-day to seize control of the appliance and evade detection. The activity, attributed to Velvet Ant, was observed early this year and involved the weaponization of CVE-2024-20399 (CVSS score: 6.0) to deliver bespoke malware and gain extensive control

This Metasploit module exploit a remote SQL injection vulnerability in the CBEC service of DIAEnergie versions 1.10 and below from Delta Electronics. The commands will get executed in the context of NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

This Metasploit module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in SPIP versions up to and including 4.2.12. The vulnerability occurs in SPIP's templating system where it incorrectly handles user-supplied input, allowing an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code. This can be achieved by crafting a payload manipulating the templating data processed by the echappe_retour() function, invoking traitements_previsu_php_modeles_eval(), which contains an eval() call.

AVMS Project version 1.0 suffers from a remote SQL injection vulnerability that allows for authentication bypass.
