An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.19.16. Attackers able to inject WLAN frames could cause a buffer overflow in the ieee80211_bss_info_update function in net/mac80211/scan.c.
A use-after-free in the mac80211 stack when parsing a multi-BSSID element in the Linux kernel 5.2 through 5.19.14 could be used by attackers (able to inject WLAN frames) to crash the kernel and potentially execute code.
The comprehensive, multiplatform framework comes loaded with weapons, and it is likely another effort by a China-based threat group to develop an alternative to Cobalt Strike and Sliver.

A previously undocumented command-and-control (C2) framework dubbed Alchimist is likely being used in the wild to target Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. "Alchimist C2 has a web interface written in Simplified Chinese and can generate a configured payload, establish remote sessions, deploy payload to the remote machines, capture screenshots, perform remote shellcode execution, and run

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...
