DiCal-RED version 4009 is vulnerable to unauthorized log access and other files on the device's file system due to improper authentication checks.

DiCal-RED version 4009 has an administrative web interface that is vulnerable to path traversal attacks in several places. The functions to download or display log files can be used to access arbitrary files on the device's file system. The upload function for new license files can be used to write files anywhere on the device's file system - possibly overwriting important system configuration files, binaries or scripts. Replacing files that are executed during system operation results in a full compromise of the whole device.

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.

The proliferation of new top-level domains (TLDs) has exacerbated a well-known security weakness: Many organizations set up their internal Microsoft authentication systems years ago using domain names in TLDs that didn't exist at the time. Meaning, they are continuously sending their Windows usernames and passwords to domain names they do not control and which are freely available for anyone to register. Here's a look at one security researcher's efforts to map and shrink the size of this insidious problem.

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

It’s not unusual for a threat actor to exaggerate the extent of a hack or breach to drum up interest, and hopefully, the eventual purchase or ransom price.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6979-1 - Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
