The Problem The “2024 Attack Intelligence Report” from the staff at Rapid7 [1] is a well-researched, well-written report that is worthy of careful study. Some key takeaways are:  53% of the over 30 new vulnerabilities that were widely exploited in 2023 and at the start of 2024 were zero-days. More mass compromise events arose from zero-day vulnerabilities than from n-day vulnerabilities.

Based on a comprehensive review of more than a dozen prominent ransomware groups, we identified several commonalities in TTPs, along with several notable differences and outliers.

A China-nexus cyber espionage group named Velvet Ant has been observed exploiting a zero-day flaw in Cisco NX-OS Software used in its switches to deliver malware. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-20399 (CVSS score: 6.0), concerns a case of command injection that allows an authenticated, local attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root on the underlying operating system of an affected

While Progress has released patches for the vulnerabilities, attackers are trying to exploit them before organizations have a chance to remediate.
