HPE Aruba Networking has issued its April 2024 security advisory detailing critical remote code execution vulnerabilities impacting multiple versions of ArubaOS, its proprietary network operating system.ArubaOS 10.5.1.0 and below, 10.4.1.0 and older, 8.11.2.1 and below, and 8.10.0.10 and older.
Google has increased rewards for reporting remote code execution vulnerabilities within select Android apps by ten times, from $30,000 to $300,000, with the maximum reward reaching $450,000 for exceptional quality reports. The list of in-scope apps includes Google Play Services, the Android Google Search app, Google Cloud, and Gmail.
Today is Microsoft's April 2024 Patch Tuesday, which includes security updates for 150 flaws and sixty-seven remote code execution bugs. More than half of the RCE flaws are found within Microsoft SQL drivers, likely sharing a common flaw.
Attackers are now actively targeting over 92,000 end-of-life D-Link Network Attached Storage devices exposed online and unpatched against a critical remote code execution zero-day flaw. Mirai variants are usually designed to add infected devices to a botnet that can be used in large-scale distributed denial-of-service attacks.
Approximately 16,500 Ivanti Connect Secure and Poly Secure gateways exposed on the internet are likely vulnerable to a remote code execution flaw the vendor addressed earlier this week. The flaw is tracked as CVE-2024-21894 and is a high-severity heap overflow in the IPSec component of Ivanti Connect Secure 9.x and 22.x, potentially allowing unauthenticated users to cause denial of service or achieve RCE by sending specially crafted requests.
While Ivanti said the remote code execution risks are limited to "Certain conditions," the company didn't provide details on the vulnerable configurations. "We are not aware of any customers being exploited by these vulnerabilities at the time of disclosure," Ivanti added.
CISA warns that attackers are now exploiting a Microsoft SharePoint code injection vulnerability that can be chained with a critical privilege escalation flaw for pre-auth remote code execution attacks. These two SharePoint Server security vulnerabilities can be chained by unauthenticated attackers to gain RCE on unpatched servers, as STAR Labs researcher Nguyễn Tiến Giang demonstrated during last year's March 2023 Pwn2Own contest in Vancouver.

WebCopilot: Open-source automation tool enumerates subdomains, detects bugsWebCopilot is an open-source automation tool that enumerates a target's subdomains and discovers bugs using various free tools. NIST's NVD has encountered a problemWhether the cause is insurmountable technical debt, lack of funds, a third reason or all of them, NIST's National Vulnerability Database is struggling, and it's affecting vulnerability management efforts.
Security researchers have released a proof-of-concept exploit for a critical vulnerability in Fortinet's FortiClient Enterprise Management Server software, which is now actively exploited in attacks.On Thursday, one week after Fortinet released security updates to address the security flaw, security researchers with Horizon3's Attack Team published a technical analysis and shared a proof-of-concept exploit that helps confirm if a system is vulnerable without providing remote code execution capabilities.
