Roblox developers are the target of a persistent campaign that seeks to compromise systems through bogus npm packages, once again underscoring how threat actors continue to exploit the trust in the open-source ecosystem to deliver malware. "By mimicking the popular 'noblox.js' library, attackers have published dozens of packages designed to steal sensitive data and compromise systems," Checkmarx

This Metasploit module exploits a privilege escalation vulnerability found in Microsoft Exchange - CVE-2019-0724 Execution of the module will force Exchange to authenticate to an arbitrary URL over HTTP via the Exchange PushSubscription feature. This allows us to relay the NTLM authentication to a Domain Controller and authenticate with the privileges that Exchange is configured. The module is based on the work by @_dirkjan,.

The vulnerability is caused by a tilde character "~" in a GET or OPTIONS request, which could allow remote attackers to disclose 8.3 filenames (short names). In 2010, Soroush Dalili and Ali Abbasnejad discovered the original bug (GET request). This was publicly disclosed in 2012. In 2014, Soroush Dalili discovered that newer IIS installations are vulnerable with OPTIONS.

This Metasploit module downloads and parses the _vti_pvt/service.pwd, _vti_pvt/administrators.pwd, and _vti_pvt/authors.pwd files on a FrontPage server to find credentials.

This Metasploit module retrieves the client unattend file from Windows Deployment Services RPC service and parses out the stored credentials. Tested against Windows 2008 R2 x64 and Windows 2003 x86.

This Metasploit module checks the provided hosts for the CVE-2023-21554 vulnerability by sending a MSMQ message with an altered DataLength field within the SRMPEnvelopeHeader that overflows the given buffer. On patched systems, the error is caught and no response is sent back. On vulnerable systems, the integer wraps around and depending on the length could cause an out-of-bounds write. In the context of this module a response is sent back, which indicates that the system is vulnerable.

This Metasploit module bypasses basic authentication for Internet Information Services (IIS). By appending the NTFS stream name to the directory name in a request, it is possible to bypass authentication.

A recently patched security flaw in Google Chrome and other Chromium web browsers was exploited as a zero-day by North Korean actors in a campaign designed to deliver the FudModule rootkit. The development is indicative of the persistent efforts made by the nation-state adversary, which had made a habit of incorporating rafts of Windows zero-day exploits into its arsenal in recent months.
