New Cyberattack Targets Chinese-Speaking Businesses with Cobalt Strike Payloads

Chinese-speaking users are the target of a "highly organized and sophisticated attack" campaign that is likely leveraging phishing emails to infect Windows systems with Cobalt Strike payloads. "The attackers managed to move laterally, establish persistence and remain undetected within the systems for more than two weeks," Securonix researchers Den Iuzvyk and Tim Peck said in a new report. The

GHSA-4rr6-2v9v-wcpc: CRLF Injection in RestSharp's `RestRequest.AddHeader` method

### Summary The second argument to `RestRequest.AddHeader` (the header value) is vulnerable to CRLF injection. The same applies to `RestRequest.AddOrUpdateHeader` and `RestClient.AddDefaultHeader`. ### Details The way HTTP headers are added to a request is via the `HttpHeaders.TryAddWithoutValidation` method: <https://github.com/restsharp/RestSharp/blob/777bf194ec2d14271e7807cc704e73ec18fcaf7e/src/RestSharp/Request/HttpRequestMessageExtensions.cs#L32> This method does not check for CRLF characters in the header value. This means that any headers from a `RestSharp.RequestHeaders` object are added to the request in such a way that they are vulnerable to CRLF-injection. In general, CRLF-injection into a HTTP header (when using HTTP/1.1) means that one can inject additional HTTP headers or smuggle whole HTTP requests. ### PoC The below example code creates a console app that takes one command line variable "api key" and then makes a request to some status page with the provided key inse...

A Google search ad for Canva is highly misleading and walks users into a trap.

GHSA-5x5q-cqf6-gj8r: Serilog Client IP Spoofing vulnerability

Serilog (before v2.1.0) contains a Client IP Spoofing vulnerability, which allows attackers to falsify their IP addresses in log files by specifying an arbitrary IP as a value of X-Forwarded-For or Client-Ip headers while performing HTTP requests. It is not possible to configure Serilog.Enrichers.ClientInfo to not trust the X-Forwarded-For header.

GHSA-mgwr-h7mv-fh29: Hwameistor Potential Permission Leakage of Cluster Level

### Impact _What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?_ This ClusterRole has * verbs of * resources. If a malicious user can access the worker node which has hwameistor's deployment, he/she can abuse these excessive permissions to do whatever he/she likes to the whole cluster, resulting in a cluster-level privilege escalation. ### Patches _Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_ >= v0.14.6 ### Workarounds _Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?_ Update and Limit the ClusterRole using [security-role](https://github.com/hwameistor/hwameistor/blob/main/helm/hwameistor/templates/clusterrole.yaml). ### References _Are there any links users can visit to find out more?_ issues: https://github.com/hwameistor/hwameistor/issues/1457 https://github.com/hwameistor/hwameistor/issues/1460 also reported by users via mails: [sparkEchooo](https://github.com/sparkEchooo), [younaman](https://github.com/younaman)

GHSA-p652-xcgx-f85m: "powermail" (powermail) Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR)

An issue was discovered in powermail extension through 12.3.5 for TYPO3. It fails to validate the mail parameter of the confirmationAction, resulting in Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR). An unauthenticated attacker can use this to display the user-submitted data of all forms persisted by the extension. This can only be exploited when the extension is configured to save submitted form data to the database (`plugin.tx_powermail.settings.db.enable=1`), which however is the default setting of the extension. The fixed versions are 7.5.0, 8.5.0, 10.9.0, and 12.4.0.
