Government entities, military organizations, and civilian users in Ukraine and Poland have been targeted as part of a series of campaigns designed to steal sensitive data and gain persistent remote access to the infected systems. The intrusion set, which stretches from April 2022 to July 2023, leverages phishing lures and decoy documents to deploy a downloader malware called PicassoLoader, which

Uncovered issues fall into use-after-free, buffer-overflow, information leak and denial of service vulnerability classes. Some of these could be combined to achieve remote code execution or privilege escalation.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ​CVSS v3 8.2 ​ATTENTION: Exploitable remotely/low attack complexity ​Vendor: Siemens ​Equipment: SIMATIC MV500 series devices ​Vulnerabilities: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime, Injection, Inadequate Encryption Strength, Double Free, Incomplete Cleanup, Observable Discrepancy, Improper Locking, Use After Free, Improper Input Validation 2. RISK EVALUATION ​Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to read memory contents, disclose information, or cause a denial-of-service condition. 3.

Cisco Talos has discovered a threat actor conducting several campaigns against government entities, military organizations and civilian users in Ukraine and Poland. We judge that these operations are very likely aimed at stealing information and gaining persistent remote access.

A vulnerability in the Cisco ACI Multi-Site CloudSec encryption feature of Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Fabric Switches in ACI mode could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to read or modify intersite encrypted traffic. This vulnerability is due to an issue with the implementation of the ciphers that are used by the CloudSec encryption feature on affected switches. An attacker with an on-path position between the ACI sites could exploit this vulnerability by intercepting intersite encrypted traffic and using cryptanalytic techniques to break the encryption. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read or modify the traffic that is transmitted between the sites. Cisco has not released and will not release software updates that address this vulnerability.

A vulnerability in Cisco BroadWorks could allow an authenticated, local attacker to elevate privileges to the root user on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation by the operating system CLI. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by issuing a crafted command to the affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute commands as the root user. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must have valid BroadWorks administrative privileges on the affected device.

A vulnerability in the logging component of Cisco Duo Authentication Proxy could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to view sensitive information in clear text on an affected system. This vulnerability exists because certain unencrypted credentials are stored. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by accessing the logs on an affected system and obtaining credentials that they may not normally have access to. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to view sensitive information in clear text.

Cybersecurity researchers have unearthed a novel rootkit signed by Microsoft that's engineered to communicate with an actor-controlled attack infrastructure. Trend Micro has attributed the activity cluster to the same actor that was previously identified as behind the FiveSys rootkit, which came to light in October 2021. "This malicious actor originates from China and their main victims are the

Microsoft on Tuesday released updates to address a total of 130 new security flaws spanning its software, including six zero-day flaws that it said have been actively exploited in the wild. Of the 130 vulnerabilities, nine are rated Critical and 121 are rated Important in severity. This is in addition to eight flaws the tech giant patched in its Chromium-based Edge browser towards the end of
