Palo Alto firewalls: CVE-2024-3400 exploitation and PoCs for persistence after resets/upgradesThere are proof-of-concept techniques allowing attackers to achieve persistence on Palo Alto Networks firewalls after CVE-2024-3400 has been exploited, the company has confirmed on Monday, but they are "Not aware at this time of any malicious attempts to use these persistence techniques in active exploitation of the vulnerability." Okta warns customers about credential stuffing onslaughtCredential stuffing attacks have exploded this April, Okta warns, and advises its customers to use available tools to block access requests originating from residential proxies before authentication takes place.
There are proof-of-concept techniques allowing attackers to achieve persistence on Palo Alto Networks firewalls after CVE-2024-3400 has been exploited, the company has confirmed on Monday, but they are "Not aware at this time of any malicious attempts to use these persistence techniques in active exploitation of the vulnerability." On April 12, Palo Alto Networks warned about limited attacks against internet-exposed firewalls, likely by a state-backed threat actor, who managed to install backdoors, grab sensitive data, and move laterally through target organizations' networks.
More details of and a proof-of-concept exploit for an unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerability in Flowmon, Progress Software's network monitoring/analysis and security solution, have been published. The critical vulnerability has been disclosed and patched by Progress earlier this month.

A zero-day vulnerability that, when triggered, could crash the Windows Event Log service on all supported versions of Windows could spell trouble for enterprise defenders. "I have only tested the whole thing a few times in a domain network consisting of a Windows 10 machine and a Windows Server 2022 domain controller. I was able to crash the event log service of the domain controller as an unprivileged user from the Windows 10 machine, and that was about it."
Proof-of-concept exploit code for a critical vulnerability in Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT solution has been made public, sparking fears that attackers may soon take advantage of it. CVE-2024-0204 was privately reported by Mohammed Eldeeb and Islam Elrfai of Spark Engineering Consultants in early December 2023, and Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT customers got an advance warning with instructions on how to remediate the vulnerability.
