In 2017, The Australian Cyber Security Center (ACSC) published a set of mitigation strategies that were designed to help organizations to protect themselves against cyber security incidents. These strategies, which became known as the Essential Eight, are designed specifically for use on Windows networks, although variations of these strategies are commonly applied to other platforms. What is

A vulnerability in live_check.shtml of WAVLINK AERIAL X 1200M M79X3.V5030.180719 allows attackers to obtain sensitive router information via execution of the exec cmd function.

Microsoft has incorporated additional improvements to address the recently disclosed SynLapse security vulnerability in order to meet comprehensive tenant isolation requirements in Azure Data Factory and Azure Synapse Pipelines. The latest safeguards include moving the shared integration runtimes to sandboxed ephemeral instances and using scoped tokens to prevent adversaries from using a client

Microsoft has warned of APT groups and ransomware authors exploiting the now patched Confluence vulnerability. We take a look at the dangers. The post “Multiple adversaries” exploiting Confluence vulnerability, warns Microsoft appeared first on Malwarebytes Labs.

Symbiote, discovered in November, parasitically infects running processes so it can steal credentials, gain rootlkit functionality and install a backdoor for remote access.

Researchers at MIT have published details about an attack that uses a flaw in the M1 security feature pointer authentication codes. The post Don’t panic! “Unpatchable” Mac vulnerability discovered appeared first on Malwarebytes Labs.

Incomplete filtering of special elements vulnerability exists in RevoWorks SCVX using 'File Sanitization Library' 1.043 and prior versions, RevoWorks Browser 2.2.67 and prior versions (when using 'File Sanitization Option'), and RevoWorks Desktop 2.1.84 and prior versions (when using 'File Sanitization Option'), which may allow an attacker to execute a malicious macro by having a user to download, import, and open a specially crafted file in the local environment.

A vulnerability was found in Microsoft O365 and classified as critical. This issue affects the Conditional Access Policy which leads to improper access controls. By default the policy is not verified for every request. The attack may be initiated remotely. Exploit details have been disclosed to the public. It is recommended to change the configuration settings. NOTE: Vendor claims that pre-requisites are very high, the feature works as intended, and that configuration settings might mitigate the issue.

Cybersecurity researchers have detailed the workings of a fully-featured malware loader dubbed PureCrypter that's being purchased by cyber criminals to deliver remote access trojans (RATs) and information stealers. "The loader is a .NET executable obfuscated with SmartAssembly and makes use of compression, encryption, and obfuscation to evade antivirus software products," Zscaler's Romain Dumont

Mitigation refers to a setting, common configuration, or general best-practice, existing in a default state, that could reduce the severity of exploitation of a vulnerability. The following mitigating factors might be helpful in your situation: This vulnerability is not exploitable in NFSV2.0 or NFSV3.0. Prior to updating your version of Windows that protects against this vulnerability, you can mitigate an attack by disabling NFSV4.1. This could adversely affect your ecosystem and should only be used as a temporary mitigation. **Warning** You should NOT apply this mitigation unless you have installed the May 2022 Windows security updates. Those updates address CVE-2022-26937 which is a Critical vulnerability in NFSV2.0 and NFSV3.0. The following PowerShell command will disable those versions: PS C:\Set-NfsServerConfiguration -EnableNFSV4 $false After running the command, you will need to restart NFS server or reboot the machine. To restart NFS server, start a **cmd** window with...
