Welcome to this week’s threat source newsletter with Jon out, you’ve got me as your substitute teacher. I’m taking you back to those halcyon days of youth and that moment when you found out that you had a sub that day...

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.

### Summary An attacker controlling the second variable of the `translate` function is able to perform a cache poisoning attack. They can change the outcome of translation requests made by subsequent users. ### Details The `opt.id` parameter allows the overwriting of the cache key. If an attacker sets the `id` variable to the cache key that would be generated by another user, they can choose the response that user gets served. ### PoC Take the following simple server allowing users to supply text and the language to translate to. ```javascript import translate from "translate"; import express from 'express'; const app = express(); app.use(express.json()); app.post('/translate', async (req, res) => { const { text, language } = req.body; const result = await translate(text, language); return res.json(result); }); const port = 3000; app.listen(port, () => { console.log(`Server is running on port ${port}`); }); ``` We can send the following request to poison the cache: ``` {"...

In the case of pig butchering scams, it’s not really anything that can be solved by a cybersecurity solution or sold in a package.

The Russia-linked threat actor known as Turla infected several systems belonging to an unnamed European non-governmental organization (NGO) in order to deploy a backdoor called TinyTurla-NG. "The attackers compromised the first system, established persistence and added exclusions to antivirus products running on these endpoints as part of their preliminary post-compromise actions," Cisco

We now have new information on the entire kill chain this actor uses, including the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) utilized to steal valuable information from their victims and propagate through their infected enterprises.

There is also a newly disclosed vulnerability in a graphics driver for some NVIDIA GPUs that could lead to a memory leak.

Research conducted by Cisco Talos last year uncovered multiple vulnerabilities rated as low severity despite their ability to allow for full arbitrary code execution.
