This Metasploit module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the WRT120N Linksys router to reset the password of the management interface temporarily to an empty value. This Metasploit module has been tested successfully on a WRT120N device with firmware version 1.0.07.
The WordPress WP EasyCart plugin from version 1.1.30 to 3.0.20 allows authenticated users of any user level to set any system option via a lack of validation in the ec_ajax_update_option and ec_ajax_clear_all_taxrates functions located in /inc/admin/admin_ajax_functions.php. The module first changes the admin e-mail address to prevent any notifications being sent to the actual administrator during the attack, re-enables user registration in case it has been disabled and sets the default role to be administrator. This will allow for the user to create a new account with admin privileges via the default registration page found at /wp-login.php?action=register.
Nexpose v5.7.2 and prior is vulnerable to a XML External Entity attack via a number of vectors. This vulnerability can allow an attacker to a craft special XML that could read arbitrary files from the filesystem. This Metasploit module exploits the vulnerability via the XML API.
A recently patched security flaw in Google Chrome and other Chromium web browsers was exploited as a zero-day by North Korean actors in a campaign designed to deliver the FudModule rootkit. The development is indicative of the persistent efforts made by the nation-state adversary, which had made a habit of incorporating rafts of Windows zero-day exploits into its arsenal in recent months.

A flaw was found in Kroxylicious. When establishing the connection with the upstream Kafka server using a TLS secured connection, Kroxylicious fails to properly verify the server's hostname, resulting in an insecure connection. For a successful attack to be performed, the attacker needs to perform a Man-in-the-Middle attack or compromise any external systems, such as DNS or network routing configuration. This issue is considered a high complexity attack, with additional high privileges required, as the attack would need access to the Kroxylicious configuration or a peer system. The result of a successful attack impacts both data integrity and confidentiality.
The `spam` project on PyPI was taken over via user account compromise via a phishing attack and a new malicious release made which contained code which some environment variables and downloaded and ran malware at install time
