A state-sponsored hacking team employed a clever masquerade and elaborate back-end infrastructure as part of a five-year info-stealing campaign that compromised the US State and Treasury Departments, and hundreds of thousands of accounts overall.
### Impact We have identified a local privilege escalation vulnerability in Ant Media Server which allows any unprivileged operating system user account to escalate privileges to the root user account on the system. This vulnerability arises from Ant Media Server running with Java Management Extensions (JMX) enabled and authentication disabled on localhost on port 5599/TCP. This vulnerability is nearly identical to the local privilege escalation vulnerability CVE-2023-26269 identified in Apache James. Any unprivileged operating system user can connect to the JMX service running on port 5599/TCP on localhost and leverage the MLet Bean within JMX to load a remote MBean from an attacker-controlled server. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the Java process run by Ant Media Server and execute code within the context of the “antmedia” service account on the system. ### Patches 2.9.0 ### Workarounds Remote the following parameters from antmedia.service file ```-Dcom....
TCPDF version <=6.7.4 is vulnerable to ReDoS (Regular Expression Denial of Service) if parsing an untrusted HTML page with a crafted color.
Sandboxes are synonymous with dynamic malware analysis. They help to execute malicious files in a safe virtual environment and observe their behavior. However, they also offer plenty of value in terms of static analysis. See these five scenarios where a sandbox can prove to be a useful tool in your investigations. Detecting Threats in PDFs PDF files are frequently exploited by threat actors to
For nearly a dozen years, residents of South Carolina have been kept in the dark by state and federal investigators over who was responsible for hacking into the state's revenue department in 2012 and stealing tax and bank account information for 3.6 million people. The answer may no longer be a mystery: KrebsOnSecurity found compelling clues suggesting the intrusion was carried out by the same Russian hacking crew that stole of millions of payment card records from big box retailers like Home Depot and Target in the years that followed.
TCPDF before 6.7.4 mishandles calls that use HTML syntax.

### Impact Remote code execution is possible via PDF export templates. To reproduce on an installation, register a new user account with username `PDFClass` if `XWiki.PDFClass` does not exist. On `XWiki.PDFClass`, use the class editor to add a "style" property of type "TextArea" and content type "Plain Text". Then, add an object of class `PDFClass` and set the "style" attribute to `$services.logging.getLogger('PDFClass').error("I got programming: $services.security.authorization.hasAccess('programming')")`. Finally, go to `<host>/xwiki/bin/export/Main/WebHome?format=pdf&pdftemplate=XWiki.PDFClass`. If the logs contain "ERROR PDFClass - I got programming: true", the instance is vulnerable. ### Patches This vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 14.10.20, 15.5.4 and 15.10-rc-1. ### Workarounds If PDF templates are not typically used on the instance, an administrator can create the document `XWiki.PDFClass` and block its edition, after making sure that it does not contain a `style` att...
