The state-sponsored threat actors (aka APT34, Crambus, Helix Kitten, or OilRig) spent months seemingly taking whatever government data they wished, using never-before-seen tools.

This Metasploit module exploits an improper input validation issue in Atlassian Confluence, allowing arbitrary HTTP parameters to be translated into getter/setter sequences via the XWorks2 middleware and in turn allows for Java objects to be modified at run time. The exploit will create a new administrator user and upload a malicious plugins to get arbitrary code execution. All versions of Confluence between 8.0.0 through to 8.3.2, 8.4.0 through to 8.4.2, and 8.5.0 through to 8.5.1 are affected.

It's time to build a culture of privacy, one that businesses uphold.

An updated version of a sophisticated backdoor framework called MATA has been used in attacks aimed at over a dozen Eastern European companies in the oil and gas sector and defense industry as part of a cyber espionage operation that took place between August 2022 and May 2023. "The actors behind the attack used spear-phishing mails to target several victims, some were infected with Windows

### Summary _The torbot.modules.validators.validate_link function uses the python-validators URL validation regex. This particular regular expression has an exponential complexity which allows an attacker to cause an application crash using a well-crafted argument.._ ### Details https://github.com/DedSecInside/TorBot/blob/d2b89192379ad033ffc7044efff26e16ccc02d5a/torbot/modules/validators.py#L13 An attacker can use a well-crafted URL argument to exploit the vulnerability in the regular expression and cause a Denial of Service on the system. ### PoC I have uploaded a secret gist containing a PoC (https://gist.github.com/ikkebr/6041055314f1cfb8e65b2a1acbaae12c). By adding one special character at the end of the user argument of the URL, the regular expression will take exponentially longer to compute. For a string of size 10k, the regex will take 0.01s without the well-crafted URL and 1.3s with the well-crafted URL exploit. For a string of size 50k, the regex will take 0.03s without t...

Deserialization of Untrusted Data Vulnerability in Apache Software Foundation Apache InLong. This issue affects Apache InLong: from 1.4.0 through 1.8.0, the attacker can use \t to bypass. Users are advised to upgrade to Apache InLong's 1.9.0 or cherry-pick [1] to solve it.

By Deeba Ahmed Researchers report a surge in QR code-related cyberattacks exploiting phishing and malware distribution, especially QRLJacking and Quishing attacks. This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: Hackers Exploit QR Codes with QRLJacking for Malware Distribution

The time between a vulnerability being discovered and hackers exploiting it is narrower than ever – just 12 days. So it makes sense that organizations are starting to recognize the importance of not leaving long gaps between their scans, and the term "continuous vulnerability scanning" is becoming more popular. Hackers won’t wait for your next scan One-off scans can be a simple ‘one-and-done'

There exists an SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) vulnerability located at the `/sandbox/proxyGateway` endpoint. This vulnerability allows us to manipulate arbitrary requests and retrieve corresponding responses by inputting any URL into the requestUrl parameter. Of particular concern is our ability to exert control over the HTTP method, cookies, IP address, and headers. This effectively grants us the capability to dispatch complete HTTP requests to hosts of our choosing. This issue affects Apache ShenYu: 2.5.1. Upgrade to Apache ShenYu 2.6.0 or apply patch  https://github.com/apache/shenyu/pull/4776  .
