By Jon Munshaw. Welcome to this week’s edition of the Threat Source newsletter. October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Which, if you’ve been on social media at all the past 13 days or read any cybersecurity news website, you surely know already. As it does every year, I saw Cybersecurity Awareness Month kick off with a lot of snark and memes of people joking about what it even means to be “aware” of cybersecurity and why we even have this month at all. And I get why it’s easy to poke fun at, it is at its core a marketing-driven campaign, and hardcore security experts and researchers have notoriously pushed back against this being a marketing-driven field. I’m not saying there should be Cybersecurity Awareness Month mascots brought to life on the floor of Black Hat, but it is probably time to pump the brakes on the skepticism and snark. After all, this week should be about broadening the security community, not trying to exclude others from it. I came to Talos ...
The campaign uses a combination of tactics and a common JavaScript obfuscation technique to fool both end users and email security scanners to steal credentials.

By Chetan Raghuprasad, Asheer Malhotra and Vitor Ventura, with contributions from Matt Thaxton. Cisco Talos discovered a new attack framework including a command and control (C2) tool called "Alchimist" and a new malware "Insekt" with remote administration capabilities. The Alchimist has a web interface in Simplified Chinese with remote administration features. The attack framework is designed to target Windows, Linux and Mac machines. Alchimist and Insekt binaries are implemented in GoLang. This campaign consists of additional bespoke tools such as a MacOS exploitation tool, a custom backdoor and multiple off-the-shelf tools such as reverse proxies. Cisco Talos has discovered a new single-file command and control (C2) framework the authors call "Alchimist [sic]." Talos researchers found this C2 on a server that had a file listing active on the root directory along with a set of post-exploitation tools. Cisco Talos assesses with moderate-high confidence that this framework is being...

A parsing issue with binary data in protobuf-java core and lite versions prior to 3.21.7, 3.20.3, 3.19.6 and 3.16.3 can lead to a denial of service attack. Inputs containing multiple instances of non-repeated embedded messages with repeated or unknown fields causes objects to be converted back-n-forth between mutable and immutable forms, resulting in potentially long garbage collection pauses. We recommend updating to the versions mentioned above.
### Impact A remote attacker may be able to bypass SAML authentication on a website using passport-saml. A successful attack requires that the attacker is in possession of an arbitrary IDP signed XML element. Depending on the IDP used, fully unauthenticated attacks (e.g without access to a valid user) might also be feasible if generation of a signed message can be triggered. ### Patches Users should upgrade to node-saml v4.0.0-beta5 or newer. ### Workarounds Disable SAML authentication. ### References _Are there any links users can visit to find out more?_ ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open a discussion in the [node-saml repo](https://github.com/node-saml/node-saml/discussions) ### Credits * Felix Wilhelm of Google Project Zero
