By Waqas The alleged data breach took place on October 2023. However, the database was only made public earlier today, on Sunday, February 11, 2024. This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: Hackers Leak Alleged Partial Facebook Marketplace Database

The U.S. Department of State has announced monetary rewards of up to $10 million for information about individuals holding key positions within the Hive ransomware operation. It is also giving away an additional $5 million for specifics that could lead to the arrest and/or conviction of any person "conspiring to participate in or attempting to participate in Hive ransomware activity."

The U.S. Justice Department (DoJ) on Friday announced the seizure of online infrastructure that was used to sell a remote access trojan (RAT) called Warzone RAT. The domains – www.warzone[.]ws and three others – were "used to sell computer malware used by cybercriminals to secretly access and steal data from victims' computers," the DoJ said. Alongside the takedown, the

Concrete CMS in version 9 before 9.2.5 is vulnerable to reflected XSS via the Image URL Import Feature due to insufficient validation of administrator provided data. A rogue administrator could inject malicious code when importing images, leading to the execution of the malicious code on the website user’s browser. The Concrete CMS Security team scored this 2 with CVSS v3 vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss/v3-calculator . This does not affect Concrete versions prior to version 9.

### Impact This is a privilege escalation vulnerability. The impact is negligible and entirely theoretical. A non-exploitable weakness was found in how the client-supplied JWTs are verified. Because an explicit allow-list of known algorithms is used in the PyJWT library, user-supplied (invalid) algorithms are rejected. If this was not the case, then the client JWTs could be tampered with, resulting in privilege escalation which would allow the attacker to perform any operation as any client (impersonation) without leaving a trace of the real user/client. ### Patches Will be fixed in 1.12.2 ### Workarounds None needed. But be careful when updating PyJWT. Check that the used PyJWT has no algorithms specified with a name in "", "HS25", "HS2", "HS", "H", or that those algorithms are acceptable. ### Details The header and payload of JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) are cryptographically signed with an algorithm. A JWT has a header field `alg` that specifies the algorithm used in the signatu...
