DiCal-RED version 4009 provides an administrative web interface that requests the administrative system password before it can be used. Instead of submitting the user-supplied password, its MD5 hash is calculated on the client side and submitted. An attacker who knows the hash of the correct password but not the password itself can simply replace the value of the password URL parameter with the correct hash and subsequently gain full access to the administrative web interface.

DiCal-RED version 4009 has a password that is stored in the file /etc/deviceconfig as a plain MD5 hash, i.e. without any salt or computational cost function.

DiCal-RED version 4009 provides an FTP service on TCP port 21. This service allows anonymous access, i.e. logging in as the user "anonymous" with an arbitrary password. Anonymous users get read access to the whole file system of the device, including files that contain sensitive configuration information, such as /etc/deviceconfig. The respective process on the system runs as the system user "ftp". Therefore, a few files with restrictive permissions are not accessible via FTP.

DiCal-RED version 4009 provides a Telnet service on TCP port 23. This service grants access to an interactive shell as the system's root user and does not require authentication.

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a new information stealer that's designed to target Apple macOS hosts and harvest a wide range of information, underscoring how threat actors are increasingly setting their sights on the operating system. Dubbed Cthulhu Stealer, the malware has been available under a malware-as-a-service (MaaS) model for $500 a month from late 2023. It's capable of

Details have emerged about a China-nexus threat group's exploitation of a recently disclosed, now-patched security flaw in Cisco switches as a zero-day to seize control of the appliance and evade detection. The activity, attributed to Velvet Ant, was observed early this year and involved the weaponization of CVE-2024-20399 (CVSS score: 6.0) to deliver bespoke malware and gain extensive control

This Metasploit module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in SPIP versions up to and including 4.2.12. The vulnerability occurs in SPIP's templating system where it incorrectly handles user-supplied input, allowing an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code. This can be achieved by crafting a payload manipulating the templating data processed by the echappe_retour() function, invoking traitements_previsu_php_modeles_eval(), which contains an eval() call.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6972-2 - Yuxuan Hu discovered that the Bluetooth RFCOMM protocol driver in the Linux Kernel contained a race condition, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A privileged local attacker could use this to possibly cause a denial of service.
