The FBI's takedown of the LockBit ransomware group last week came as LockBit was preparing to release sensitive data stolen from government computer systems in Fulton County, Ga. But LockBit is now regrouping, and the gang says it will publish the stolen Fulton County data on March 2 unless paid a ransom. LockBit claims the cache includes documents tied to the county's ongoing criminal prosecution of former President Trump, but court watchers say teaser documents published by the crime gang suggest a total leak of the Fulton County data could put lives at risk and jeopardize a number of other criminal trials.

This Metasploit module exploits an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker to create a new administrator user account on a vulnerable ConnectWise ScreenConnect server. The attacker can leverage this to achieve remote code execution by uploading a malicious extension module. All versions of ScreenConnect version 23.9.7 and below are affected.

There exists an unauthenticated command injection vulnerability in the QNAP operating system known as QTS and QuTS hero. QTS is a core part of the firmware for numerous QNAP entry and mid-level Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices, and QuTS hero is a core part of the firmware for numerous QNAP high-end and enterprise NAS devices. The vulnerable endpoint is the quick.cgi component, exposed by the device's web based administration feature. The quick.cgi component is present in an uninitialized QNAP NAS device. This component is intended to be used during either manual or cloud based provisioning of a QNAP NAS device. Once a device has been successfully initialized, the quick.cgi component is disabled on the system. An attacker with network access to an uninitialized QNAP NAS device may perform unauthenticated command injection, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the device.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6648-1 - It was discovered that a race condition existed in the AppleTalk networking subsystem of the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Zhenghan Wang discovered that the generic ID allocator implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly check for null bitmap when releasing IDs. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

Cisco Talos, in cooperation with CERT.NGO, has discovered new malicious components used by the Turla APT. New findings from Talos illustrate the inner workings of the command and control (C2) scripts deployed on the compromised WordPress servers utilized in the compromise we previously disclosed.

From FIPS 140-3 to Common Criteria to DISA STIGs, Red Hat is constantly pursuing the next iteration of compliance for our customers. Red Hat’s mission has long been to bring community innovation to enterprise organizations, packaged in a hardened, production-ready form. This isn’t just about packaging and testing, however; we take extra steps to bring these emerging capabilities in-line with some of the most stringent secure computing standards and requirements in the world. Innovation by itself isn’t enough for public sector agencies or the companies that serve these organizations. Inst

Botan is a C++ library of cryptographic algorithms, including AES, DES, SHA-1, RSA, DSA, Diffie-Hellman, and many others. It also supports X.509 certificates and CRLs, and PKCS #10 certificate requests, and has a high level filter/pipe message processing system. The library is easily portable to most systems and compilers, and includes a substantial tutorial and API reference. This is the current 3.x.x release.

This Metasploit module chains a server side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability (CVE-2024-21893) and a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2024-21887) to exploit vulnerable instances of either Ivanti Connect Secure or Ivanti Policy Secure, to achieve unauthenticated remote code execution. All currently supported versions 9.x and 22.x are vulnerable, prior to the vendor patch released on Feb 1, 2024. It is unknown if unsupported versions 8.x and below are also vulnerable.

Welcome to part 4 of this miniseries on the concept of Environment as a Service. As discussed in part one, an environment comprises everything that is needed to run an application and, in a kubernetes-centric platform, it starts with the provisioning of a namespace.Sometimes, though, we need components and configurations to exist outside of our namespace for our applications to run properly.These external configurations may involve everything from external global load balancers, external firewalls, provisioning of certificates from external PKI’s, and more… just to name a few. Sometimes, t
