A WIRED investigation uncovered coordinates collected by a controversial data broker that reveal sensitive information about visitors to an island once owned by Epstein, the notorious sex offender.

Incorrect Authorization issue exists in the API key based security model for Remote Cluster Security, which is currently in Beta, in Elasticsearch 8.10.0 and before 8.13.0. This allows a malicious user with a valid API key for a remote cluster configured to use the new Remote Cluster Security to read arbitrary documents from any index on the remote cluster, and only if they use the Elasticsearch custom transport protocol to issue requests with the target index ID, the shard ID and the document ID. None of Elasticsearch REST API endpoints are affected by this issue.

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
