Cybersecurity researchers are calling attention to a new QR code phishing (aka quishing) campaign that leverages Microsoft Sway infrastructure to host fake pages, once again highlighting the abuse of legitimate cloud offerings for malicious purposes. "By using legitimate cloud applications, attackers provide credibility to victims, helping them to trust the content it serves," Netskope Threat

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Tuesday added a critical security flaw affecting the Apache OFBiz open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability, known as CVE-2024-38856, carries a CVSS score of 9.8, indicating critical severity.

A critical security flaw has been disclosed in the WPML WordPress multilingual plugin that could allow authenticated users to execute arbitrary code remotely under certain circumstances. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-6386 (CVSS score: 9.9), impacts all versions of the plugin before 4.6.13, which was released on August 20, 2024. Arising due to missing input validation and sanitization,

Red Hat OpenShift sandboxed containers, built on Kata Containers, provide the additional capability to run confidential containers (CoCo). This article continues our previous one, Exploring the OpenShift confidential containers solution and looks at different CoCo use cases and the ecosystem around the confidential compute attestation operator.Use cases for OpenShift confidential containersLet’s go over a few CoCo use cases.Secrets retrieval by the workload (pod)A workload (pod) may require secrets to perform different operations. For example, assume your workload runs a fine-tuned large lan

### Impact Directus v10.13.0 allows an authenticated external attacker to modify presets created by the same user to assign them to another user. This is possible because the application only validates the user parameter in the `POST /presets` request but not in the PATCH request. When chained with [CVE-2024-6533](https://github.com/directus/directus/security/advisories/GHSA-9qrm-48qf-r2rw), it could result in account takeover. This vulnerability occurs because the application only validates the user parameter in the `POST /presets` request but not in the PATCH request. ### PoC To exploit this vulnerability, we need to do the follow steps using a non-administrative, default role attacker account. 1. Create a preset for a collection. Store the preset id, or use it if it already exists from `GET /presets`. The following example will use the direct_users preset. ```bash TARGET_HOST="http://localhost:8055" ATTACKER_EMAIL="[email protected]" ATTACKER_PASSWORD="123456" root_dir=$(...

### Summary The AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) is an open-source framework for defining cloud infrastructure using code. Customers use it to create their own applications which are converted to AWS CloudFormation templates during deployment to a customer’s AWS account. CDK contains pre-built components called "constructs" that are higher-level abstractions providing defaults and best practices. This approach enables developers to use familiar programming languages to define complex cloud infrastructure more efficiently than writing raw CloudFormation templates. We identified an issue in AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) which, under certain conditions, can result in granting authenticated Amazon Cognito users broader than intended access. Specifically, if a CDK application uses the "RestApi" construct with "CognitoUserPoolAuthorizer" as the authorizer and uses authorization scopes to limit access. This issue does not affect the availability of the specific API resources. ### Impact ...

### Summary The Chisel server doesn't ever read the documented `AUTH` environment variable used to set credentials, which allows any unauthenticated user to connect, even if credentials were set. This advisory is a formalization of a report sent to the maintainer via email. ### Details In the help page for the `chisel server` subcommand, it mentions an `AUTH` environment variable that can be set in order to provide credentials that the server should authenticate connections against: https://github.com/jpillora/chisel/blob/3de177432cd23db58e57f376b62ad497cc10840f/main.go#L138. The issue is that the server entrypoint doesn't ever read the `AUTH` environment variable. The only place that this happens is in the client entrypoint: https://github.com/jpillora/chisel/blob/3de177432cd23db58e57f376b62ad497cc10840f/main.go#L452 This subverts the expectations set by the documentation, allowing unauthenticated users to connect to a Chisel server, even if auth is attempted to be set up in this m...

An Unauthenticated Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in Flowise version 1.8.2 leading to a complete crash of the instance running a vulnerable version due to improper handling of user supplied input to the `/api/v1/get-upload-file` api endpoint.

An Authentication Bypass vulnerability exists in Flowise version 1.8.2. This could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to access API endpoints as an administrator and allow them to access restricted functionality.
