#vulnerability

Welcome to the third installment in our series on transparency at the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC). In this ongoing discussion, we talk about our commitment to providing comprehensive vulnerability information to our customers. At MSRC, our mission is to protect our customers, communities, and Microsoft, from current and emerging threats to security and privacy.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploits this vulnerability would gain the same privileges as the SuperUser role.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker with the administrator role of "azure\_pg\_admin" in the target environment could exploit this vulnerability to gain the same privileges as a SuperUser by sending a specially crafted request to an Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server with specific non-default functionality enabled.

A flaw was found in Ansible-Core. This vulnerability allows attackers to bypass unsafe content protections using the hostvars object to reference and execute templated content. This issue can lead to arbitrary code execution if remote data or module outputs are improperly templated within playbooks.

An XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability in the component DocumentBuilderFactory of powertac-server v1.9.0 allows attackers to access sensitive information or execute arbitrary code via supplying a crafted request containing malicious XML entities.

Windows users are at risk for full device takeover by an emerging malicious version of the Remcos remote admin tool, which is being used in an ongoing campaign exploiting a known remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in Microsoft Office and WordPad.

Attackers abuse concatenation, a method that involves appending multiple zip archives into a single file, to deliver a variant of the SmokeLoader Trojan hidden in malicious attachments delivered via phishing

Ubuntu Security Notice 7100-1 - Supraja Sridhara, Benedict Schlüter, Mark Kuhne, Andrin Bertschi, and Shweta Shinde discovered that the Confidential Computing framework in the Linux kernel for x86 platforms did not properly handle 32-bit emulation on TDX and SEV. An attacker with access to the VMM could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
