A new variant of the sophisticated attacker tool gives cybercriminals even more control over victim devices to conduct various malicious activities, including fraud and cyber espionage.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7084-1 - It was discovered that urllib3 didn't strip HTTP Proxy-Authorization header on cross-origin redirects. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information.

This Metasploit module exploits an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the WordPress wp-automatic plugin versions prior to 3.92.1 to achieve remote code execution. The vulnerability allows the attacker to inject and execute arbitrary SQL commands, which can be used to create a malicious administrator account. The password for the new account is hashed using MD5. Once the administrator account is created, the attacker can upload and execute a malicious plugin, leading to full control over the WordPress site.

ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.01 is vulnerable to username enumeration in the jsonProxy.php endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can interact with the UserManager servlet to enumerate valid usernames on the system. Since jsonProxy.php proxies requests to internal services without requiring authentication, attackers can gain unauthorized insights into valid usernames.

ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.01 is vulnerable to unauthorized information disclosure in the jsonProxy.php endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can retrieve sensitive system information, including system time, uptime, memory usage, and network load statistics. The jsonProxy.php endpoint proxies these requests to internal services without requiring authentication, allowing attackers to obtain detailed system status data, which could aid in further attacks by revealing operational characteristics and resource utilization.

ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.01 is vulnerable to unauthorized SSH service configuration changes via the jsonProxy.php endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can enable or disable the SSH service on the server by accessing the FTControlServlet with the sshenable parameter. The jsonProxy.php script proxies requests to localhost without enforcing authentication, allowing attackers to modify SSH settings and potentially gain further unauthorized access to the system.

ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.01 is vulnerable to an unauthenticated denial of service attack in the jsonProxy.php endpoint. An attacker can remotely restart the main Java server by accessing the FTControlServlet with the restart parameter. The endpoint proxies requests to localhost without requiring authentication, enabling attackers to disrupt system availability by repeatedly triggering server restarts.

ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.01 is vulnerable to an unauthorized project file disclosure in jsonProxy.php. An unauthenticated remote attacker can issue a GET request abusing the DownloadProject servlet to download sensitive project files. The jsonProxy.php script bypasses authentication by proxying requests to localhost (AspectFT Automation Application Server), granting remote attackers unauthorized access to internal Java servlets. This exposes potentially sensitive project data and configuration details without requiring authentication.

ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.01 is vulnerable to remote, arbitrary servlet inclusion. The jsonProxy.php endpoint allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access internal services by proxying requests to localhost. This results in an authentication bypass, enabling attackers to interact with multiple java servlets without authorization, potentially exposing sensitive system functions and information.

ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.01 allows an unauthenticated attacker to disclose credentials in plain-text.
