IBM Security Verify Access versions prior to 10.0.8 suffer from authentication bypass, reuse of private keys, local privilege escalation, weak settings, outdated libraries, missing password, hardcoded secrets, remote code execution, missing authentication, null pointer dereference, and lack of privilege separation vulnerabilities.

This week was a total digital dumpster fire! Hackers were like, "Let's cause some chaos!" and went after everything from our browsers to those fancy cameras that zoom and spin. (You know, the ones they use in spy movies? 🕵️‍♀️) We're talking password-stealing bots, sneaky extensions that spy on you, and even cloud-hacking ninjas! 🥷 It's enough to make you want to chuck your phone in the ocean.

Ping Identity PingIDM versions 7.0.0 through 7.5.0 enabled an attacker with read access to the User collection, to abuse API query filters in order to obtain managed and/or internal user's passwords in either plaintext or encrypted variants, based on configuration. The API clearly prevents the password in either plaintext or encrypted to be retrieved by any other means, as this field is set as protected under the User object. However, by injecting a malicious query filter, using password as the field to be filtered, an attacker can perform a blind brute-force on any victim's user password details (encrypted object or plaintext string).

ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.01 has a vulnerability in caldavInstall.php, caldavInstallAgendav.php, and caldavUpload.php files, where the presence of an EXPERTMODE parameter activates a badassMode feature. This mode allows an unauthenticated attacker to bypass MD5 checksum validation during file uploads. By enabling badassMode and setting the skipChecksum parameter, the system skips integrity verification, allowing attackers to upload or install altered CalDAV zip files without authentication. This vulnerability permits unauthorized file modifications, potentially exposing the system to tampering or malicious uploads.

ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.01 is vulnerable to username enumeration in the jsonProxy.php endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can interact with the UserManager servlet to enumerate valid usernames on the system. Since jsonProxy.php proxies requests to internal services without requiring authentication, attackers can gain unauthorized insights into valid usernames.

ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.01 is vulnerable to unauthorized information disclosure in the jsonProxy.php endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can retrieve sensitive system information, including system time, uptime, memory usage, and network load statistics. The jsonProxy.php endpoint proxies these requests to internal services without requiring authentication, allowing attackers to obtain detailed system status data, which could aid in further attacks by revealing operational characteristics and resource utilization.

ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.01 is vulnerable to unauthorized SSH service configuration changes via the jsonProxy.php endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can enable or disable the SSH service on the server by accessing the FTControlServlet with the sshenable parameter. The jsonProxy.php script proxies requests to localhost without enforcing authentication, allowing attackers to modify SSH settings and potentially gain further unauthorized access to the system.

ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.01 is vulnerable to an unauthenticated denial of service attack in the jsonProxy.php endpoint. An attacker can remotely restart the main Java server by accessing the FTControlServlet with the restart parameter. The endpoint proxies requests to localhost without requiring authentication, enabling attackers to disrupt system availability by repeatedly triggering server restarts.

ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.01 is vulnerable to an unauthorized project file disclosure in jsonProxy.php. An unauthenticated remote attacker can issue a GET request abusing the DownloadProject servlet to download sensitive project files. The jsonProxy.php script bypasses authentication by proxying requests to localhost (AspectFT Automation Application Server), granting remote attackers unauthorized access to internal Java servlets. This exposes potentially sensitive project data and configuration details without requiring authentication.
