8220 Gang Exploits Oracle WebLogic Server Flaws for Cryptocurrency Mining

Security researchers have shed more light on the cryptocurrency mining operation conducted by the 8220 Gang by exploiting known security flaws in the Oracle WebLogic Server. "The threat actor employs fileless execution techniques, using DLL reflective and process injection, allowing the malware code to run solely in memory and avoid disk-based detection mechanisms," Trend Micro researchers Ahmed

Combatting the Evolving SaaS Kill Chain: How to Stay Ahead of Threat Actors

The modern kill chain is eluding enterprises because they aren’t protecting the infrastructure of modern business: SaaS.  SaaS continues to dominate software adoption, and it accounts for the greatest share of public cloud spending. But enterprises and SMBs alike haven’t revised their security programs or adopted security tooling built for SaaS.  Security teams keep jamming on-prem

New SnailLoad Attack Exploits Network Latency to Spy on Users' Web Activities

A group of security researchers from the Graz University of Technology have demonstrated a new side-channel attack known as SnailLoad that could be used to remotely infer a user's web activity. "SnailLoad exploits a bottleneck present on all Internet connections," the researchers said in a study released this week. "This bottleneck influences the latency of network packets, allowing an attacker

Researchers Warn of Flaws in Widely Used Industrial Gas Analysis Equipment

Multiple security flaws have been disclosed in Emerson Rosemount gas chromatographs that could be exploited by malicious actors to obtain sensitive information, induce a denial-of-service (DoS) condition, and even execute arbitrary commands. The flaws impact GC370XA, GC700XA, and GC1500XA and reside in versions 4.1.5 and prior. According to operational technology (OT) security firm Claroty, the

GHSA-cgvx-9447-vcch: ntlk unsafe deserialization vulnerability

NLTK through 3.8.1 allows remote code execution if untrusted packages have pickled Python code, and the integrated data package download functionality is used. This affects, for example, averaged_perceptron_tagger and punkt.

GHSA-ff7q-6vwh-v9m4: Name confusion in x509 Subject Alternative Name fields

In phpseclib before 1.0.22, 2.x before 2.0.46, and 3.x before 3.0.33, some characters in Subject Alternative Name fields in TLS certificates are incorrectly allowed to have a special meaning in regular expressions (such as a + wildcard), leading to name confusion in X.509 certificate host verification.

API security: The importance of rate limiting policies in safeguarding your APIs

In today's networked digital world, application programming interface (API) security is a crucial component in safeguarding private information and strengthening the integrity of online transactions. The potential for attack has increased dramatically as a result of the growing use of applications that depend on APIs to communicate across systems and services.It's also important to protect against malevolent actors who try to take advantage of API vulnerabilities for illegal access, data breaches and service interruptions. Strong API security measures are needed to establish trust, reduce risk

GHSA-m45c-v46h-c788: lollms path traversal vulnerability allows overriding of config.yaml file, leading to RCE

A path traversal vulnerability in the `/set_personality_config` endpoint of parisneo/lollms version 9.4.0 allows an attacker to overwrite the `configs/config.yaml` file. This can lead to remote code execution by changing server configuration properties such as `force_accept_remote_access` and `turn_on_code_validation`.

GHSA-qqcv-vg9f-5rr3: litellm vulnerable to improper access control in team management

berriai/litellm version 1.34.34 is vulnerable to improper access control in its team management functionality. This vulnerability allows attackers to perform unauthorized actions such as creating, updating, viewing, deleting, blocking, and unblocking any teams, as well as adding or deleting any member to or from any teams. The vulnerability stems from insufficient access control checks in various team management endpoints, enabling attackers to exploit these functionalities without proper authorization.

GHSA-9chm-m6x2-6fvc: lollms vulnerable to path traversal due to unauthenticated root folder settings change

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the XTTS server included in the lollms package, version v9.6. This vulnerability arises from the ability to perform an unauthenticated root folder settings change. Although the read file endpoint is protected against path traversals, this protection can be bypassed by changing the root folder to '/'. This allows attackers to read arbitrary files on the system. Additionally, the output folders can be changed to write arbitrary audio files to any location on the system.
