#auth

A sophisticated threat actor is leveraging the bug to deploy a Python backdoor for stealing data and executing other malicious actions.

Amazon AWS Amplify CLI before 12.10.1 incorrectly configures the role trust policy of IAM roles associated with Amplify projects. When the Authentication component is removed from an Amplify project, a Condition property is removed but "Effect":"Allow" remains present, and consequently sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity would be available to threat actors with no conditions. Thus, if Amplify CLI had been used to remove the Authentication component from a project built between August 2019 and January 2024, an "assume role" may have occurred, and may have been leveraged to obtain unauthorized access to an organization's AWS resources. NOTE: the problem could only occur if an authorized AWS user removed an Authentication component. (The vulnerability did not give a threat actor the ability to remove an Authentication component.) However, in realistic situations, an authorized AWS user may have removed an Authentication component, e.g., if the objective were to stop using built-in Cognito resou...

### Impact Cilium allows outside actors (`world` entity) to directly access pods with their internal pod IP, even if they are not exposed explicitly (e.g. via `LoadBalancer`). A pod that does not authenticate clients and that does not exclude `world` traffic via network policy may leak sensitive data to an attacker _inside the cloud VPC_. ### Patches The issue has been patched in [v2.16.3](https://github.com/edgelesssys/constellation/releases/tag/v2.16.3). ### Workarounds This network policy excludes all `world` traffic. It mitigates the problem, but will also block all desired external traffic. If vulnerable pods are known, a policy can be crafted to only firewall those instead (see also https://docs.cilium.io/en/stable/security/policy/language/#access-to-from-outside-cluster). ```yaml apiVersion: "cilium.io/v2" kind: CiliumClusterwideNetworkPolicy metadata: name: "from-world-to-role-public" spec: endpointSelector: matchLabels: {} # role: public ingressDeny: -...

The password of database connections in AWS Glue is loaded into the website when a connection's edit page is requested. Principals with appropriate permissions can read the password. This behavior also increases the risk that database passwords will be intercepted by an attacker during transmission in the server response. Many types of vulnerabilities, such as broken access controls, cross site scripting and weaknesses in session handling, could enable an attacker to leverage this behavior to retrieve the passwords.

This Metasploit exploit module leverages an improperly controlled modification of dynamically-determined object attributes vulnerability (CVE-2023-43177) to achieve unauthenticated remote code execution. This affects CrushFTP versions prior to 10.5.1. It is possible to set some user's session properties by sending an HTTP request with specially crafted Header key-value pairs. This enables an unauthenticated attacker to access files anywhere on the server file system and steal the session cookies of valid authenticated users. The attack consists in hijacking a user's session and escalates privileges to obtain full control of the target. Remote code execution is obtained by abusing the dynamic SQL driver loading and configuration testing feature.
