Apache Karaf Default Credentials Command Execution

This Metasploit module exploits a default misconfiguration flaw on Apache Karaf versions 2.x-4.x. The karaf user has a known default password, which can be used to login to the SSH service, and execute operating system commands from remote.

Eaton Xpert Meter SSH Private Key Exposure Scanner

Eaton Power Xpert Meters running firmware below version 12.x.x.x or below version 13.3.x.x ship with a public/private key pair that facilitate remote administrative access to the devices. Tested on: Firmware 12.1.9.1 and 13.3.2.10.

SSH Username Enumeration

This Metasploit module uses a malformed packet or timing attack to enumerate users on an OpenSSH server. The default action sends a malformed (corrupted) SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST packet using public key authentication (must be enabled) to enumerate users. On some versions of OpenSSH under some configurations, OpenSSH will return a "permission denied" error for an invalid user faster than for a valid user, creating an opportunity for a timing attack to enumerate users. Testing note: invalid users were logged, while valid users were not. YMMV.

Fortinet SSH Backdoor Scanner

This Metasploit module scans for the Fortinet SSH backdoor.

Atlassian Confluence Vulnerability Exploited in Crypto Mining Campaigns

Threat actors are actively exploiting a now-patched, critical security flaw impacting the Atlassian Confluence Data Center and Confluence Server to conduct illicit cryptocurrency mining on susceptible instances. "The attacks involve threat actors that employ methods such as the deployment of shell scripts and XMRig miners, targeting of SSH endpoints, killing competing crypto mining processes,

GHSA-4vvj-4cpr-p986: Webpack's AutoPublicPathRuntimeModule has a DOM Clobbering Gadget that leads to XSS

Hi, Webpack developer team! ### Summary We discovered a DOM Clobbering vulnerability in Webpack’s `AutoPublicPathRuntimeModule`. The DOM Clobbering gadget in the module can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) in web pages where scriptless attacker-controlled HTML elements (e.g., an `img` tag with an unsanitized `name` attribute) are present. We found the real-world exploitation of this gadget in the Canvas LMS which allows XSS attack happens through an javascript code compiled by Webpack (the vulnerable part is from Webpack). We believe this is a severe issue. If Webpack’s code is not resilient to DOM Clobbering attacks, it could lead to significant security vulnerabilities in any web application using Webpack-compiled code. ### Details #### Backgrounds DOM Clobbering is a type of code-reuse attack where the attacker first embeds a piece of non-script, seemingly benign HTML markups in the webpage (e.g. through a post or comment) and leverages the gadgets (pieces of js code) livin...

Dutch Regulator Fines Uber €290 Million for GDPR Violations in Data Transfers to U.S.

The Dutch Data Protection Authority (DPA) has fined Uber a record €290 million ($324 million) for allegedly failing to comply with European Union (E.U.) data protection standards when sending sensitive driver data to the U.S. "The Dutch DPA found that Uber transferred personal data of European taxi drivers to the United States (U.S.) and failed to appropriately safeguard the data with regard to

Unpacking Slack Hacks: 6 Ways to Protect Sensitive Data with Secure Collaboration

Nowadays, sensitive and critical data is traveling in everyday business channels that offer only the basic level of security and encryption, and companies are often oblivious to the risk. A case in point: Disney suffered a devastating data leak by a hacktivist group known as NullBulge that got hold of over 1.2 terabytes of data from Disney's internal Slack messaging channels. The breach exposed

GHSA-34qg-65m4-f23m: Froxlor: /etc/pure-ftpd/db/mysql.conf is chmod 644 but contains <SQL_UNPRIVILEGED_PASSWORD>

### Summary In Froxlor 2.1.9 and in the HEADs of the `main`, `v2.2` and `v2.1` branches , the XML templates in `lib/configfiles/` set `chmod 644` for `/etc/pure-ftpd/db/mysql.conf`, although that file contains `<SQL_UNPRIVILEGED_PASSWORD>`. At least on Debian 12, all parent directories of `/etc/pure-ftpd/db/mysql.conf` are world readable by default, thus exposing these credentials to all users with access to the system. Only Froxlor instances configured to use pure-ftpd are affected/vulnerable. ### Details https://github.com/froxlor/Froxlor/blob/2.1.9/lib/configfiles/bookworm.xml#L3075 ### PoC As non-privileged user: ``` nobody@mail:/tmp$ grep MYSQLPassword /etc/pure-ftpd/db/mysql.conf MYSQLPassword MySecretMySQLPasswordForFroxlor ``` ### Impact Any unprivileged user with "command/code execution" access to the system can trivially obtain the credentials granting access to the `froxlor` MySQL database. This holds true even for virtual users without SSH access as long as they are a...
