Linksys WRT120N TmUnblock Stack Buffer Overflow

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.

WordPress WP EasyCart Plugin Privilege Escalation

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 XXE Arbitrary File Read

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.

North Korean Hackers Deploy FudModule Rootkit via Chrome Zero-Day Exploit

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.

GHSA-h83p-72jv-g7vp: Missing hostname validation in Kroxylicious

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.
