February 2024 is likely to be remembered as one of the most turbulent months in ransomware history.

March’s Patch Tuesday is relatively light, containing 60 vulnerabilities — only two labeled “critical.”

By Waqas The February 2024 Global Threat Index report released by Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. exposes the alarming vulnerability of cybersecurity worldwide.

NorthStar C2 agent version 1.0 applies insufficient sanitization on agent registration routes, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to send multiple malicious agent registration requests to the teamserver to incrementally build a functioning javascript payload in the logs web page. This cross site scripting payload can be leveraged to execute commands on NorthStar C2 agents.

Human Resource Management System version 1.0 suffers from a remote SQL injection vulnerability. Original discovery of SQL injection in this version is attributed to Abdulhakim Oner in March of 2023.

CVE-2024-2229 has been assigned to this vulnerability...

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is network (AV:N) and the user interaction is required (UI:R). What is the target context of the remote code execution?** An authenticated victim who is connected to the network must be tricked or persuaded to connect to a malicious SQL database using their SQL client application. After the connection is made, the server can send specially crafted replies to the client that exploit the vulnerability and permit execution of arbitrary code within the context of the user's SQL client application.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by tricking an authenticated user into attempting to connect to a malicious SQL server via OLEDB, which could result in the server receiving a malicious networking packet. This could allow the attacker to execute code remotely on the client.
