The ABB BMS/BAS controller suffers from a remote code execution vulnerability. The vulnerable uploadFile() function in bigUpload.php improperly reads raw POST data using the php://input wrapper without sufficient validation. This data is passed to the fwrite() function, allowing arbitrary file writes. Combined with an improper sanitization of file paths, this leads to directory traversal, allowing an attacker to upload malicious files to arbitrary locations. Once a malicious file is written to an executable directory, an authenticated attacker can trigger the file to execute code and gain unauthorized access to the building controller.
The BMS/BAS controller suffers from an arbitrary file deletion vulnerability. Input passed to the 'file' parameter in 'databasefiledelete.php' is not properly sanitised before being used to delete files. This can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker to delete files with the permissions of the web server using directory traversal sequences passed within the affected POST parameter.
Healthcare organizations face a 32% surge in cyberattacks, with sensitive patient data being sold on the Dark Web.…
This week on the Lock and Code podcast, we speak with San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu about his team's fight against deepfake porn.
After launching an investigation in February into vehicles made by foreign adversaries, the Biden administration is finally making its move in the name of national security.
Proof of concept python3 code that creates a malicious payload to exploit an arbitrary file write via directory traversal in Invesalius version 3.1. In particular the exploitation steps of this vulnerability involve the use of a specifically crafted .inv3 (a custom extension for InVesalius) that is indeed a tar file file which, once imported inside the victim's client application allows an attacker to write files and folders on the disk.
Faraday is a tool that introduces a new concept called IPE, or Integrated Penetration-Test Environment. It is a multiuser penetration test IDE designed for distribution, indexation and analysis of the generated data during the process of a security audit. The main purpose of Faraday is to re-use the available tools in the community to take advantage of them in a multiuser way.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7028-1 - It was discovered that the JFS file system contained an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when printing xattr debug information. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
Ubuntu Security Notice 7020-2 - Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
