Managing Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) in Identity Management (IdM)

The Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol allows automated interactions between certificate authorities and your servers. This means you can automate the deployment of your public key infrastructure at a low cost, with relatively little effort. ACME provides automated identifier validation and certificate issuance, and its goal is to improve security by providing certificates with a short lifespan (3 months by default, in line with the Let’s Encrypt specification), and by avoiding manual (and error-prone) processes from certificate lifecycle management. The Let’s Enc

GHSA-h4gh-qq45-vh27: pyca/cryptography has a vulnerable OpenSSL included in cryptography wheels

pyca/cryptography's wheels include a statically linked copy of OpenSSL. The versions of OpenSSL included in cryptography 37.0.0-43.0.0 are vulnerable to a security issue. More details about the vulnerability itself can be found in https://openssl-library.org/news/secadv/20240903.txt. If you are building cryptography source ("sdist") then you are responsible for upgrading your copy of OpenSSL. Only users installing from wheels built by the cryptography project (i.e., those distributed on PyPI) need to update their cryptography versions.

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.

IBM WebSphere MQ Channel Name Bruteforce

This Metasploit module uses a dictionary to bruteforce MQ channel names. For all identified channels it also returns if SSL is used and whether it is a server-connection channel.

A10 Networks AX Loadbalancer Directory Traversal

This Metasploit module exploits a directory traversal flaw found in A10 Networks (Soft) AX Loadbalancer version 2.6.1-GR1-P5/2.7.0 or less. When handling a file download request, the xml/downloads class fails to properly check the filename parameter, which can be abused to read any file outside the virtual directory. Important files include SSL certificates. This Metasploit module works on both the hardware devices and the Virtual Machine appliances. IMPORTANT NOTE: This Metasploit module will also delete the file on the device after downloading it. Because of this, the CONFIRM_DELETE option must be set to true either manually or by script.

Microsoft Exchange Privilege Escalation

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,.

Cisco ASA Directory Traversal

This Metasploit module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in Ciscos Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) software and Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) software. It lists the contents of Ciscos VPN web service which includes directories, files, and currently logged in users.

NFR Agent SRS Record Arbitrary Remote File Access

NFRAgent.exe, a component of Novell File Reporter (NFR), allows remote attackers to retrieve arbitrary files via a request to /FSF/CMD with a SRS Record with OPERATION 4 and CMD 103, specifying a full pathname. This Metasploit module has been tested successfully against NFR Agent 1.0.4.3 (File Reporter 1.0.2) and NFR Agent 1.0.3.22 (File Reporter 1.0.1).

Supermicro Onboard IPMI Static SSL Certificate Scanner

This Metasploit module checks for a static SSL certificate shipped with Supermicro Onboard IPMI controllers. An attacker with access to the publicly-available firmware can perform man-in-the-middle attacks and offline decryption of communication to the controller. This Metasploit module has been on a Supermicro Onboard IPMI (X9SCL/X9SCM) with firmware version SMT_X9_214.

Apache Axis2 1.4.1 Local File Inclusion

This Metasploit module exploits an Apache Axis2 v1.4.1 local file inclusion (LFI) vulnerability. By loading a local XML file which contains a cleartext username and password, attackers can trivially recover authentication credentials to Axis services.
