Multiple WordPress plugins have been backdoored to inject malicious code that makes it possible to create rogue administrator accounts with the aim of performing arbitrary actions. "The injected malware attempts to create a new administrative user account and then sends those details back to the attacker-controlled server," Wordfence security researcher Chloe Chamberland said in a Monday alert.

In the latest breaches, threat groups compromised telecommunications firms in at least two Asian nations, installing backdoors and possibly eavesdropping or pre-positioning for a future attack.

AppSec is hard for traditional software development, let alone citizen developers. So how did two people resolve 70,000 vulnerabilities in three months?

go-retryablehttp prior to 0.7.7 did not sanitize urls when writing them to its log file. This could lead to go-retryablehttp writing sensitive HTTP basic auth credentials to its log file. This vulnerability, CVE-2024-6104, was fixed in go-retryablehttp 0.7.7.

### Impact The content of a document included using `{{include reference="targetdocument"/}}` is executed with the right of the includer and not with the right of its author. This means that any user able to modify the target document can impersonate the author of the content which used the `include` macro. ### Patches This has been patched in XWiki 15.0 RC1 by making the default behavior safe. ### Workarounds Make sure to protect any included document to make sure only allowed users can modify it. A workaround have been provided in 14.10.2 to allow forcing to execute the included content with the target content author instead of the default behavior. See https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Include%20Macro#HAuthor for more details. ### References https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-5027 https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-20471 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [Jira XWiki.org](https://j...

In an incident with direct parallels to the recent Ticketmaster compromise, an Aussie live events giant says it was breached via a third-party cloud provider, as ShinyHunters takes credit.

## Summary ZIP files uploaded to the server-side endpoint handling a `CodeChecker store` are not properly sanitized. An attacker can exercise a path traversal to make the `CodeChecker server` load and display files from an arbitrary location on the server machine. ## Details ### Target The vulnerable endpoint is `/<PRODUCT_URL>/v6.53/CodeCheckerService@massStoreRun`. ### Exploit overview The attack is made possible by improper sanitization at one point in the process. 1. When the ZIP file is uploaded by `CodeChecker store`, it is first unzipped to a temporary directory (safely). 2. When deciding which files to insert into CodeChecker's internal database, the decision is made based on the `content_hashes.json` in the ZIP. An attacker has control over the contents of this file. 3. After reading that file, the paths specified in the JSON are normalized by this code: https://github.com/Ericsson/codechecker/blob/fa41e4e5d9566b5a4f5a80a27bddec73a5146f5a/web/server/codechecker_server/a...
