The Computer Emergency Response Team of Ukraine (CERT-UA) has detailed a new malicious email campaign targeting government agencies, enterprises, and military entities. "The messages exploit the appeal of integrating popular services like Amazon or Microsoft and implementing a zero-trust architecture," CERT-UA said. "These emails contain attachments in the form of Remote Desktop Protocol ('.rdp'

Kremlin intelligence carried out a wide-scale phishing campaign in contrast to its usual, more targeted operations.

On Python < 3.11 on Windows, `os.path.isabs()` does not catch UNC paths like `//server/share`. Werkzeug's `safe_join()` relies on this check, and so can produce a path that is not safe, potentially allowing unintended access to data. Applications using Python >= 3.11, or not using Windows, are not vulnerable.

### Impact A vulnerability has been identified whereby RKE2 deployments in Windows nodes have weak Access Control Lists (ACL), allowing `BUILTIN\Users` or `NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users` to view or edit sensitive files which could lead to privilege escalation. The affected files include binaries, scripts, configuration and log files: ``` C:\etc\rancher\node\password C:\var\lib\rancher\rke2\agent\logs\kubelet.log C:\var\lib\rancher\rke2\data\v1.**.**-rke2r*-windows-amd64-*\bin\* C:\var\lib\rancher\rke2\bin\* ``` **This vulnerability is exclusive to RKE2 in Windows environments. Linux environments are not affected by it.** Please consult the associated [MITRE ATT&CK - Technique - Exploitation for Privilege Escalation](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1068/) for further information about this category of attack. ### Patches Patched versions include RKE2 `1.31.0`, `1.30.2`, `1.29.6`, `1.28.11` and `1.27.15`. ### Workarounds Users are advised to do a fresh install of their ...

### Impact A vulnerability has been identified whereby Rancher Manager deployments containing Windows nodes have weak Access Control Lists (ACL), allowing `BUILTIN\Users` or `NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users` to view or edit sensitive files which could lead to privilege escalation. The affected files include binaries, scripts, configuration and log files: ``` C:\etc\rancher\wins\config C:\var\lib\rancher\agent\rancher2_connection_info.json C:\etc\rancher\rke2\config.yaml.d\50-rancher.yaml C:\var\lib\rancher\agent\applied\*-*-applied.plan C:\usr\local\bin\rke2 C:\var\lib\rancher\capr\idempotence\idempotent.sh ``` RKE2 nodes expand the list to include the files below: ``` C:\etc\rancher\node\password C:\var\lib\rancher\rke2\agent\logs\kubelet.log C:\var\lib\rancher\rke2\data\v1.**.**-rke2r*-windows-amd64-*\bin\* C:\var\lib\rancher\rke2\bin\* ``` **This vulnerability is exclusive to deployments that contain Windows nodes. Linux-only environments are not affected by it.** Please con...

Lawo AG vsm LTC Time Sync versions prior to 4.5.6.0 suffer from a path traversal vulnerability.

### Summary The Butterfly framework uses the `java.net.URL` class to refer to (what are expected to be) local resource files, like images or templates. This works: "opening a connection" to these URLs opens the local file. However, if a `file:/` URL is directly given where a relative path (resource name) is expected, this is also accepted in some code paths; the app then fetches the file, from a remote machine if indicated, and uses it as if it was a trusted part of the app's codebase. This leads to multiple weaknesses and potential weaknesses: * An attacker that has network access to the application could use it to gain access to files, either on the the server's filesystem (path traversal) or shared by nearby machines (server-side request forgery with e.g. SMB). * An attacker that can lead or redirect a user to a crafted URL belonging to the app could cause arbitrary attacker-controlled JavaScript to be loaded in the victim's browser (cross-site scripting). * If an app is written ...

### Summary In the `database` extension, the "enable_load_extension" property can be set for the SQLite integration, enabling an attacker to load (local or remote) extension DLLs and so run arbitrary code on the server. The attacker needs to have network access to the OpenRefine instance. ### Details The `database` extension, with some restrictions, lets users connect to any database they wish by filling in different parts of the JDBC URL that is used. For the SQLite integration, the extension expects a file path pointing to a database file (or a place where such a file can be created). This means that users can: * Read files on local or SMB filesystems, provided they are SQLite databases. * Write to files on local or SMB filesystems, as long as those files are either SQLite databases or empty. This seems to be the expected behavior. However, by adding `?enable_load_extension=true` to the filename, a [feature](https://www.sqlite.org/loadext.html) is toggled that additionally all...

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered an advanced version of the Qilin ransomware sporting increased sophistication and tactics to evade detection. The new variant is being tracked by cybersecurity firm Halcyon under the moniker Qilin.B. "Notably, Qilin.B now supports AES-256-CTR encryption for systems with AESNI capabilities, while still retaining Chacha20 for systems that lack this support
