Multiple media reports this week warned Americans to be on guard against a new phishing scam that arrives in a text message informing recipients they are not yet registered to vote. A bit of digging reveals the missives were sent by a California political consulting firm as part of a well-meaning but potentially counterproductive get-out-the-vote effort that had all the hallmarks of a phishing campaign.

Ransomware gangs love sensitive data from healthcare and support organizations to increase their leverage on the victims

A South Korea-aligned cyber espionage has been linked to the zero-day exploitation of a now-patched critical remote code execution flaw in Kingsoft WPS Office to deploy a bespoke backdoor dubbed SpyGlace. The activity has been attributed to a threat actor dubbed APT-C-60, according to cybersecurity firms ESET and DBAPPSecurity. The attacks have been found to infect Chinese and East Asian users

In recent investigations, Talos Incident Response has observed the BlackByte ransomware group using techniques that depart from their established tradecraft. Read the full analysis.

Cybersecurity researchers are calling attention to a new QR code phishing (aka quishing) campaign that leverages Microsoft Sway infrastructure to host fake pages, once again highlighting the abuse of legitimate cloud offerings for malicious purposes. "By using legitimate cloud applications, attackers provide credibility to victims, helping them to trust the content it serves," Netskope Threat

A specifically crafted Wasm file can cause the VM to consume excessive amounts of memory when compiling a contract. This can lead to high memory usage, slowdowns, potentially a crash and can poison a lock in the VM, preventing any further interaction with contracts.

### Impact Directus v10.13.0 allows an authenticated external attacker to modify presets created by the same user to assign them to another user. This is possible because the application only validates the user parameter in the `POST /presets` request but not in the PATCH request. When chained with [CVE-2024-6533](https://github.com/directus/directus/security/advisories/GHSA-9qrm-48qf-r2rw), it could result in account takeover. This vulnerability occurs because the application only validates the user parameter in the `POST /presets` request but not in the PATCH request. ### PoC To exploit this vulnerability, we need to do the follow steps using a non-administrative, default role attacker account. 1. Create a preset for a collection. Store the preset id, or use it if it already exists from `GET /presets`. The following example will use the direct_users preset. ```bash TARGET_HOST="http://localhost:8055" ATTACKER_EMAIL="[email protected]" ATTACKER_PASSWORD="123456" root_dir=$(...

### Summary The AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) is an open-source framework for defining cloud infrastructure using code. Customers use it to create their own applications which are converted to AWS CloudFormation templates during deployment to a customer’s AWS account. CDK contains pre-built components called "constructs" that are higher-level abstractions providing defaults and best practices. This approach enables developers to use familiar programming languages to define complex cloud infrastructure more efficiently than writing raw CloudFormation templates. We identified an issue in AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) which, under certain conditions, can result in granting authenticated Amazon Cognito users broader than intended access. Specifically, if a CDK application uses the "RestApi" construct with "CognitoUserPoolAuthorizer" as the authorizer and uses authorization scopes to limit access. This issue does not affect the availability of the specific API resources. ### Impact ...

### Summary Session cookie is without Secure and HTTPOnly flags. ### Details Please take a look at this part of code (PoC screenshot) or check code directly (provided in Occurrences section below) **Occurrences**: https://github.com/Avaiga/taipy/blob/develop/frontend/taipy-gui/src/components/Taipy/Navigate.tsx#L67 **Proposed remediation:** add Secure and HTTPOnly flags for cookies. It could be like this: document.cookie = `tprh=${tprh};path=/;Secure;HttpOnly;`; ### PoC **Screenshot**:  ### Impact **Secure**: This flag indicates that the cookie should only be sent over secure HTTPS connections. Without this flag, the cookie will be sent over both HTTP and HTTPS connections, which could expose it to interception or tampering if the connection is not secure. **HttpOnly:** This flag prevents the cookie from being accessed by client-side JavaScript. It helps mitigate certain types of attack...
