Just in time for the holidays!

Improper Authorization vulnerability in Apache Superset. On Postgres analytic databases an attacker with SQLLab access can craft a specially designed SQL DML statement that is Incorrectly identified as a read-only query, enabling its execution. Non postgres analytics database connections and postgres analytics database connections set with a readonly user (advised) are not vulnerable.  This issue affects Apache Superset: before 4.1.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.1.0, which fixes the issue.

Security isn't just about tools — it's about understanding how the enemy thinks and why they make certain choices.

Cybersecurity researchers are warning that thousands of servers hosting the Prometheus monitoring and alerting toolkit are at risk of information leakage and exposure to denial-of-service (DoS) as well as remote code execution (RCE) attacks. "Prometheus servers or exporters, often lacking proper authentication, allowed attackers to easily gather sensitive information, such as credentials and API

The ABB BMS/BAS controller suffers from an unauthenticated blind OS command injection vulnerability. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands through the 'portValue' HTTP GET parameter called by obtainPorts.php script.

The obtainPorts.php script is accessible without authentication, allowing unauthorized users to retrieve and manipulate configuration parameters. This includes the ability to modify critical settings such as port values, potentially disrupting system functionality or enabling further exploitation.

The portQueueAjax.php endpoint on ABB Cylon Aspect BMS/BAS controller is accessible without authentication, potentially exposing sensitive port statistics and network activity metrics. An attacker could leverage this information to map the network, identify critical systems, and plan further attacks.
