Security researchers have shed more light on the cryptocurrency mining operation conducted by the 8220 Gang by exploiting known security flaws in the Oracle WebLogic Server. "The threat actor employs fileless execution techniques, using DLL reflective and process injection, allowing the malware code to run solely in memory and avoid disk-based detection mechanisms," Trend Micro researchers Ahmed

Moobot, Miori, AGoent, and a Gafgyt variant have joined the infamous Mirai botnet in attacking unpatched versions of vulnerable Wi-Fi routers.

Cybersecurity researchers have developed a proof-of-concept (PoC) code that exploits a recently disclosed critical flaw in the Apache OfBiz open-source Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to execute a memory-resident payload. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2023-51467 (CVSS score: 9.8), a bypass for another severe shortcoming in the same software (

Progress Chef Infra Server before 15.7 allows a local attacker to exploit a /var/opt/opscode/local-mode-cache/backup world-readable temporary backup path to access sensitive information, resulting in the disclosure of all indexed node data, because OpenSearch credentials are exposed. (The data typically includes credentials for additional systems.) The attacker must wait for an admin to run the "chef-server-ctl reconfigure" command.

By Deeba Ahmed FortiGuard Labs has identified numerous Condi DDoS botnet samples that exploit other known security flaws, putting unpatched software at a higher risk of being exploited by botnet malware. This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: New DDoS Botnet ‘Condi’ Targets Vulnerable TP-Link AX21 Routers

A new malware called Condi has been observed exploiting a security vulnerability in TP-Link Archer AX21 (AX1800) Wi-Fi routers to rope the devices into a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) botnet. Fortinet FortiGuard Labs said the campaign has ramped up since the end of May 2023. Condi is the work of a threat actor who goes by the online alias zxcr9999 on Telegram and runs a Telegram channel

Oracle Weblogic versions 12.2.1.3.0, 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.1.0.0 prior to the Jan 2023 security update are vulnerable to an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability due to a post deserialization vulnerability. This Metasploit module exploits this vulnerability to trigger the JNDI connection to a LDAP server you control. The LDAP server will then respond with a remote reference response that points to a HTTP server that you control, where the malicious Java class file will be hosted. Oracle Weblogic will then make an HTTP request to retrieve the malicious Java class file, at which point our HTTP server will serve up the malicious class file and Oracle Weblogic will instantiate an instance of that class, granting us remote code execution as the oracle user.

Microsoft has confirmed that the active exploitation of PaperCut servers is linked to attacks designed to deliver Cl0p and LockBit ransomware families. The tech giant's threat intelligence team is attributing a subset of the intrusions to a financially motivated actor it tracks under the name Lace Tempest (formerly DEV-0950), which overlaps with other hacking groups like FIN11, TA505, and Evil

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication on affected installations of Ivanti Avalanche 6.3.2.3490. The specific flaw exists within the ProfileDaoImpl class. A crafted request can trigger execution of SQL queries composed from a user-supplied string. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to bypass authentication on the system. Was ZDI-CAN-15332.

TP-Link Archer AX21 (AX1800) firmware versions before 1.1.4 Build 20230219 contained a command injection vulnerability in the country form of the /cgi-bin/luci;stok=/locale endpoint on the web management interface. Specifically, the country parameter of the write operation was not sanitized before being used in a call to popen(), allowing an unauthenticated attacker to inject commands, which would be run as root, with a simple POST request.

CISA, FBI, and South Korean intelligence agencies warn that the North Korean government is sponsoring ransomware attacks to fund its cyber-espionage activities.

Frauscher Sensortechnik GmbH FDS102 for FAdC R2 and FAdCi R2 v2.8.0 to v2.9.1 are vulnerable to malicious code upload without authentication by using the configuration upload function. This could lead to a complete compromise of the FDS102 device.

A security vulnerability has been identified in Apache Kafka. It affects all releases since 2.8.0. The vulnerability allows malicious unauthenticated clients to allocate large amounts of memory on brokers. This can lead to brokers hitting OutOfMemoryException and causing denial of service. Example scenarios: - Kafka cluster without authentication: Any clients able to establish a network connection to a broker can trigger the issue. - Kafka cluster with SASL authentication: Any clients able to establish a network connection to a broker, without the need for valid SASL credentials, can trigger the issue. - Kafka cluster with TLS authentication: Only clients able to successfully authenticate via TLS can trigger the issue. We advise the users to upgrade the Kafka installations to one of the 3.2.3, 3.1.2, 3.0.2, 2.8.2 versions.

Insufficient access control vulnerability was discovered in the Crestron AirMedia Windows Application, version 4.3.1.39, in which a user can pause the uninstallation of an executable to gain a SYSTEM level command prompt.

Commodity malware usage surpasses ransomware by narrow margin  By Caitlin Huey. For the first time in more than a year, ransomware was not the top threat Cisco Talos Incident Response (CTIR) responded to this quarter, as commodity malware surpassed ransomware by a narrow margin. This is likely due to several factors, including the closure of several ransomware groups, whether it be of their own volition or the actions of global law enforcement agencies and governments.  Commodity malware was the top observed threat this quarter, a notable development given the general decrease in observations of attacks leveraging commodity trojans in CTIR engagements since 2020. These developments coincide with a general resurgence of certain email-based trojans in recent months, as law enforcement and technology companies have continued to attempt to disrupt and affect email-based malware threats like Emotet and Trickbot. This quarter featured malware such as the Remcos remote access trojan ...
