Multiple university departments linked to the Clinical School Computing Service have been inaccessible for a month. The university has not revealed the nature of the “malicious activity.”

This Metasploit module exploits two vulnerabilities in Sharepoint 2019 - an authentication bypass as noted in CVE-2023-29357 which was patched in June of 2023 and CVE-2023-24955 which was a remote command execution vulnerability patched in May of 2023. The authentication bypass allows attackers to impersonate the Sharepoint Admin user. This vulnerability stems from the signature validation check used to verify JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) used for OAuth authentication. If the signing algorithm of the user-provided JWT is set to none, SharePoint skips the signature validation step due to a logic flaw in the ReadTokenCore() method. After impersonating the administrator user, the attacker has access to the Sharepoint API and is able to exploit CVE-2023-24955. This authenticated remote command execution vulnerability leverages the impersonated privileged account to replace the /BusinessDataMetadataCatalog/BDCMetadata.bdcm file in the webroot directory with a payload. The payload is then compiled...

This Metasploit module exploits an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the Bricks Builder Theme versions 1.9.6 and below for WordPress. The vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code by leveraging a nonce leakage to bypass authentication and exploit the eval() function usage within the theme. Successful exploitation allows for full control of the affected WordPress site. It is recommended to upgrade to version 1.9.6.1 or higher.

A command injection vulnerability in Artica Proxy appliance versions 4.50 and 4.40 allows remote attackers to run arbitrary commands via an unauthenticated HTTP request. The Artica Proxy administrative web application will deserialize arbitrary PHP objects supplied by unauthenticated users and subsequently enable code execution as the www-data user.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added a security flaw impacting the Microsoft Sharepoint Server to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog based on evidence of active exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2023-24955 (CVSS score: 7.2), is a critical remote code execution flaw that allows an authenticated attacker with

An issue in Ignite Realtime Openfire v.4.8.0 and before allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via the admin.authorizedJIDs system property component.

### Impact A [cross-site scripting (XSS)](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/xss/) vulnerability was discovered in TinyMCE’s content insertion code. This allowed `iframe` elements containing malicious code to execute when inserted into the editor. These `iframe` elements are restricted in their permissions by same-origin browser protections, but could still trigger operations such as downloading of malicious assets. ### Fix TinyMCE 6.8.1 introduced a new `sandbox_iframes` boolean option which adds the `sandbox=""` attribute to every `iframe` element by default when enabled. This will prevent cross-origin, and in special cases same-origin, XSS by embedded resources in `iframe` elements. From TinyMCE 7.0.0 onwards the default value of this option is `true`. In TinyMCE 7.0.0 a new `sandbox_iframes_exclusions` option was also added, allowing a list of domains to be specified that should be excluded from having the `sandbox=""` attribute applied when the `sandbox_iframes` option is...

It is possible for a user in a different organization from the owner of a snapshot to bypass authorization and delete a snapshot by issuing a `DELETE` request to `/api/snapshots/<key>` using its view key. This functionality is intended to only be available to individuals with the permission to write/edit to the snapshot in question, but due to a bug in the authorization logic, deletion requests issued by an unprivileged user in a different organization than the snapshot owner are treated as authorized. Grafana Labs would like to thank Ravid Mazon and Jay Chen of Palo Alto Research for discovering and disclosing this vulnerability. This issue affects Grafana: from 9.5.0 before 9.5.18, from 10.0.0 before 10.0.13, from 10.1.0 before 10.1.9, from 10.2.0 before 10.2.6, from 10.3.0 before 10.3.5.

Several Apple customers recently reported being targeted in elaborate phishing attacks that involve what appears to be a bug in Apple's password reset feature. In this scenario, a target's Apple devices are forced to display dozens of system-level prompts that prevent the devices from being used until the recipient responds "Allow" or "Don't Allow" to each prompt. Assuming the user manages not to fat-finger the wrong button on the umpteenth password reset request, the scammers will then call the victim while spoofing Apple support in the caller ID, saying the user's account is under attack and that Apple support needs to "verify" a one-time code.
