Progress WhatsUp Gold Exploited Just Hours After PoC Release for Critical Flaw

Malicious actors are likely leveraging publicly available proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits for recently disclosed security flaws in Progress Software WhatsUp Gold to conduct opportunistic attacks. The activity is said to have commenced on August 30, 2024, a mere five hours after a PoC was released for CVE-2024-6670 (CVSS score: 9.8) by security researcher Sina Kheirkhah of the Summoning Team, who

MPlayer Lite r33064 Buffer Overflow

This Metasploit module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in MPlayer Lite r33064, caused by improper bounds checking of an URL entry. By persuading the victim to open a specially-crafted .M3U file, specifically by drag-and-dropping it to the player, a remote attacker can execute arbitrary code on the system.

This Metasploit module will attempt to elevate execution level using the ShellExecute undocumented RunAs flag to bypass low UAC settings.

SPIP BigUp 4.3.1 / 4.2.15 / 4.1.17 Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution

This Metasploit module exploits a Remote Code Execution vulnerability in the BigUp plugin of SPIP. The vulnerability lies in the lister_fichiers_par_champs function, which is triggered when the bigup_retrouver_fichiers parameter is set to any value. By exploiting the improper handling of multipart form data in file uploads, an attacker can inject and execute arbitrary PHP code on the target server. This critical vulnerability affects all versions of SPIP from 4.0 up to and including 4.3.1, 4.2.15, and 4.1.17. It allows unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary code remotely via the public interface. The vulnerability has been patched in versions 4.3.2, 4.2.16, and 4.1.18.

UnRAR Path Traversal

This Metasploit module creates a RAR file that exploits CVE-2022-30333, which is a path-traversal vulnerability in unRAR that can extract an arbitrary file to an arbitrary location on a Linux system. UnRAR fixed this vulnerability in version 6.12 (open source version 6.1.7). The core issue is that when a symbolic link is unRARed, Windows symbolic links are not properly validated on Linux systems and can therefore write a symbolic link that points anywhere on the filesystem. If a second file in the archive has the same name, it will be written to the symbolic link path.
