Roundcube flaws allow easy email account compromise (CVE-2024-42009, CVE-2024-42008)
2024-08-07 08:59

Two cross-site scripting vulnerabilities affecting Roundcube could be exploited by attackers to steal users' emails and contacts, email password, and send emails from their account. "No user interaction beyond viewing the attacker's email is required to exploit. For CVE-2024-42008, a single click by the victim is needed for the exploit to work, but the attacker can make this interaction unobvious for the user," Sonar vulnerability researcher Oskar Zeino-Mahmalat noted.

China-Linked Hackers Compromise ISP to Deploy Malicious Software Updates
2024-08-05 04:16

The China-linked threat actor known as Evasive Panda compromised an unnamed internet service provider to push malicious software updates to target companies in mid-2023, highlighting a new level of sophistication associated with the group. It was also found to have targeted an international non-governmental organization in Mainland China with MgBot delivered via update channels of legitimate applications like Tencent QQ. While it was speculated that the trojanized updates were either the result of a supply chain compromise of Tencent QQ's update servers or a case of an adversary-in-the-middle attack, Volexity's analysis confirms it's the latter stemming from a DNS poisoning attack at the ISP level.
