Palo Alto Networks' annual Unit 42 incident response report is out, warning of an ever-decreasing gap between vulnerability disclosures and an increase in cybercrime. "The 2022 Attack Surface Management Threat Report found that attackers typically start scanning for vulnerabilities within 15 minutes of a CVE being announced," the vendor says.
Malicious actors are exploiting a previously unknown security flaw in the open source PrestaShop e-commerce platform to inject malicious skimmer code designed to swipe sensitive information. "Attackers have found a way to use a security vulnerability to carry out arbitrary code execution in servers running PrestaShop websites," the company noted in an advisory published on July 22.
Microsoft has published the exploit code for a vulnerability in macOS that could help an attacker bypass sandbox restrictions and run code on the system. The company released the technical details for the security issue, which is currently identified as CVE-2022-26706, and explained how the macOS App Sandbox rules could be avoided to allow malicious macro code in Word documents to execute commands on the machine.

Google on Monday shipped security updates to address a high-severity zero-day vulnerability in its Chrome web browser that it said is being exploited in the wild. The shortcoming, tracked as CVE-2022-2294, relates to a heap overflow flaw in the WebRTC component that provides real-time audio and video communication capabilities in browsers without the need to install plugins or download native apps.
Security researchers have published technical details and proof-of-concept exploit code for CVE-2022-28219, a critical vulnerability in the Zoho ManageEngine ADAudit Plus tool for monitoring activities in the Active Directory. Zoho addressed the issue at the end of March in ADAudit Plus build 7060 after security researcher Naveen Sunkavally at Horizon3.
A suspected ransomware intrusion against an unnamed target leveraged a Mitel VoIP appliance as an entry point to achieve remote code execution and gain initial access to the environment.The findings come from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, which traced the source of the attack to a Linux-based Mitel VoIP device sitting on the network perimeter, while also identifying a previously unknown exploit as well as a couple of anti-forensic measures adopted by the actor on the device to erase traces of their actions.
If your organization is running VMware Horizon and Unified Access Gateway servers and you haven't implemented the patches or workarounds to fix/mitigate the Log4Shell vulnerability in December 2021, you should threat all those systems as compromised, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has advised on Thursday. According to the CISA, cyber threat actors, including state-sponsored advanced persistent threat actors, have continued to exploit Log4Shell in unpatched, internet-facing VMware Horizon and Unified Access Gateway servers to obtain initial access to organizations.
CISA warned today that threat actors, including state-backed hacking groups, are still targeting VMware Horizon and Unified Access Gateway servers using the Log4Shell remote code execution vulnerability. Attackers can exploit Log4Shell remotely on vulnerable servers exposed to local or Internet access to move laterally across networks until they gain access to internal systems containing sensitive data.
Advanced persistent threat group Fancy Bear is behind a phishing campaign that uses the specter of nuclear war to exploit a known one-click Microsoft flaw. Fancy Bear is also known as APT28, Strontium and Sofacy.
