Threat actors are targeting misconfigured and vulnerable servers running Apache Hadoop YARN, Docker, Atlassian Confluence, and Redis services as part of an emerging malware campaign designed to deliver a cryptocurrency miner and spawn a reverse shell for persistent remote access. “The attackers leverage these tools to issue exploit code, taking advantage of common misconfigurations and

### Summary A vulnerability in Deno's Node.js compatibility runtime allows for cross-session data contamination during simultaneous asynchronous reads from Node.js streams sourced from sockets or files. The issue arises from the re-use of a global buffer (BUF) in stream_wrap.ts used as a performance optimization to limit allocations during these asynchronous read operations. This can lead to data intended for one session being received by another session, potentially resulting in data corruption and unexpected behavior. ### Details A bug in Deno's Node.js compatibility runtime results in data cross-reception during simultaneous asynchronous reads from Node.js network streams. When multiple independent network socket connections are involved, this vulnerability can be triggered. For instance, two separate server sockets that receive data from their respective client sockets and then echo the received data back to the client using Node.js streams may experience an issue where data fro...

Registered Agents Inc. has for years allowed businesses to register under a cloak of anonymity. A WIRED investigation reveals that its secretive founder has taken the practice to an extreme.

### Impact Windows-Only: The NSIS installer makes a system call to open cmd.exe via NSExec in the `.nsh` installer script. NSExec by default searches the current directory of where the installer is located before searching `PATH`. This means that if an attacker can place a malicious executable file named cmd.exe in the same folder as the installer, the installer will run the malicious file. ### Patches Fixed in https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/pull/8059 ### Workarounds None, it executes at the installer-level before the app is present on the system, so there's no way to check if it exists in a current installer. ### References https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/426.html https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/427

Ubuntu Security Notice 6672-1 - Morgan Jones discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled certain inputs that leads to false positive errors during some cryptographic operations. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.10. It was discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled certain inputs leaded to a untrusted search path vulnerability. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a privilege escalation.

It is not uncommon developers or users responsible to write code (i.e. detection engineers using Sigma) to utilize Visual Studio Code as their code editor.… Continue reading → Persistence – Visual Studio Code Extensions

### Impact Currently the exact Directus version number is being shipped in compiled JS bundles which are accessible without authentication. With this information a malicious attacker can trivially look for known vulnerabilities in Directus core or any of its shipped dependencies in that specific running version. ### Patches The problem has been resolved in versions 10.8.3 and newer ### Workarounds None

### Impact This vulnerability allows SQL injection when Parse Server is configured to use the PostgreSQL database. ### Patches The algorithm to detect SQL injection has been improved. ### Workarounds None. ### References - https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/security/advisories/GHSA-6927-3vr9-fxf2 - https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/releases/tag/6.5.0 (fixed in Parse Server 6) - https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/releases/tag/7.0.0-alpha.20 (fixed in Parse Server 7 alpha release) ### Credits - Mikhail Shcherbakov (https://twitter.com/yu5k3) working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative (finder) - Ehsan Persania (remediation developer) - Manuel Trezza (coordinator)
