Microsoft SQL Server versions 2014 through 2022 suffers from a db_ddladmin privilege escalation vulnerability. When escalated to Microsoft as a concern, they instead opted to update their documentation to note that this is possible instead of addressing the issue.

Poorly secured Microsoft SQL (MS SQL) servers are being targeted in the U.S., European Union, and Latin American (LATAM) regions as part of an ongoing financially motivated campaign to gain initial access. “The analyzed threat campaign appears to end in one of two ways, either the selling of ‘access’ to the compromised host, or the ultimate delivery of ransomware payloads,” Securonix researchers

A security flaw has been disclosed in Kyocera’s Device Manager product that could be exploited by bad actors to carry out malicious activities on affected systems. "This vulnerability allows attackers to coerce authentication attempts to their own resources, such as a malicious SMB share, to capture or relay Active Directory hashed credentials if the ‘Restrict NTLM: Outgoing NTLM

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** The attacker must inject themselves into the logical network path between the target and the resource requested by the victim to read or modify network communications. This is called a machine-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is network (AV:N) and the user interaction is required (UI:R). What is the target context of the remote code execution?** An authenticated victim who is connected to the network must be tricked or persuaded to connect to a malicious SQL database using their SQL client application. After the connection is made, the server can send specially crafted replies to the client that exploit the vulnerability and permit execution of arbitrary code within the context of the user's SQL client application.

**Why is the MITRE Corporation the assigning CNA (CVE Numbering Authority)?** CVE-2022-35737 is regarding a vulnerability in SQLite. MITRE assigned this CVE number on behalf of the SQLite organization. Microsoft has included the updated library in Windows that addresses this vulnerability.

Ivanti has released security updates to address a critical flaw impacting its Endpoint Manager (EPM) solution that, if successfully exploited, could result in remote code execution (RCE) on susceptible servers. Tracked as CVE-2023-39336, the vulnerability has been rated 9.6 out of 10 on the CVSS scoring system. The shortcoming impacts EPM 2021 and EPM 2022 prior to SU5. “If exploited, an

sqlmap is an open source command-line automatic SQL injection tool. Its goal is to detect and take advantage of SQL injection vulnerabilities in web applications. Once it detects one or more SQL injections on the target host, the user can choose among a variety of options to perform an extensive back-end database management system fingerprint, retrieve DBMS session user and database, enumerate users, password hashes, privileges, databases, dump entire or user's specified DBMS tables/columns, run his own SQL statement, read or write either text or binary files on the file system, execute arbitrary commands on the operating system, establish an out-of-band stateful connection between the attacker box and the database server via Metasploit payload stager, database stored procedure buffer overflow exploitation or SMB relay attack and more.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6566-1 - It was discovered that SQLite incorrectly handled certain protection mechanisms when using a CLI script with the --safe option, contrary to expectations. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. It was discovered that SQLite incorrectly handled certain memory operations in the sessions extension. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause SQLite to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

EuskalHack Security Congress seventh edition is a new proposal from the EuskalHack Computer Security Association, with the aim to promote the community growth and the culture in the digital security field. As usual, in this new edition proximity to our public and technical quality will be our hallmarks. With an estimated capacity of 200 people, EuskalHack Security Congress has established itself as the most relevant congress specialized in computer security in the Basque Country, and as a national reference. The profile of attendees include specialized companies, public organisms, professionals, hobbyists and students in the area of security and Information Technology. The congress will take place on the 21st and 22nd of June 2024 in the lovely city of Donostia San Sebastian (Gipuzkoa).
