View CSAF 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CVSS v3 9.6 ATTENTION: Exploitable remotely, low attack complexity Vendor: Rapid Software LLC Equipment: Rapid SCADA Vulnerabilities: Path Traversal, Relative Path Traversal, Local Privilege Escalation through Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource, Open Redirect, Use of Hard-coded Credentials, Plaintext Storage of a Password, Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information 2. RISK EVALUATION Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could result in an attacker reading sensitive files from the Rapid Scada server, writing files to the Rapid Scada directory (thus achieving code execution), gaining access to sensitive systems via legitimate-seeming phishing attacks, connecting to the server and perfoming attacks using the high privileges of a service, obtaining administrator passwords, learning sensitive information about the internal code of the application, or achieving remote code execution. 3. TECHNICAL DETAILS 3.1 AFFE...

Cybersecurity researchers have identified an updated version of a macOS information stealer called Atomic (or AMOS), indicating that the threat actors behind the malware are actively enhancing its capabilities. "It looks like Atomic Stealer was updated around mid to late December 2023, where its developers introduced payload encryption in an effort to bypass detection rules,"

The compromise of Mandiant's X (formerly Twitter) account last week was likely the result of a "brute-force password attack," attributing the hack to a drainer-as-a-service (DaaS) group. "Normally, [two-factor authentication] would have mitigated this, but due to some team transitions and a change in X's 2FA policy, we were not adequately protected," the threat intelligence firm said

A pair of zero-day flaws identified in Ivanti Connect Secure (ICS) and Policy Secure have been chained by suspected China-linked nation-state actors to breach less than 10 customers. Cybersecurity firm Volexity, which identified the activity on the network of one of its customers in the second week of December 2023, attributed it to a hacking group it tracks under the name UTA0178

A recovery notification bypass vulnerability exists in the userRecoverPass.php captcha validation functionality of WWBN AVideo dev master commit 15fed957fb. A specially crafted HTTP request can lead to silently create a recovery pass code for any user.

An insufficient entropy vulnerability exists in the salt generation functionality of WWBN AVideo dev master commit 15fed957fb. A specially crafted series of HTTP requests can lead to privilege escalation. An attacker can gather system information via HTTP requests and bruteforce the salt offline, leading to forging a legitimate password recovery code for the admin user.

A login attempt restriction bypass vulnerability exists in the checkLoginAttempts functionality of WWBN AVideo dev master commit 15fed957fb. A specially crafted HTTP request can lead to captcha bypass, which can be abused by an attacker to bruteforce users credentials. An attacker can send a series of HTTP requests to trigger this vulnerability.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission's X account was compromised to take advantage of an expected Bitcoin ETFs announcement.

### Summary This issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2023-40590. On Windows, GitPython uses an untrusted search path if it uses a shell to run `git`, as well as when it runs `bash.exe` to interpret hooks. If either of those features are used on Windows, a malicious `git.exe` or `bash.exe` may be run from an untrusted repository. ### Details Although GitPython often avoids executing programs found in an untrusted search path since 3.1.33, two situations remain where this still occurs. Either can allow arbitrary code execution under some circumstances. #### When a shell is used GitPython can be told to run `git` commands through a shell rather than as direct subprocesses, by passing `shell=True` to any method that accepts it, or by both setting `Git.USE_SHELL = True` and not passing `shell=False`. Then the Windows `cmd.exe` shell process performs the path search, ad GitPython does not prevent that shell from finding and running `git` in the current directory. When Git...
