Proactive cybersecurity: A strategic approach to cost efficiency and crisis managementIn this Help Net Security interview, Stephanie Hagopian, VP of Security at CDW, discusses offensive strategies in the face of complex cyberattacks and the role of the zero-trust model.
The number of public-facing installs of Jenkins servers vulnerable to a recently disclosed critical vulnerability is in the tens of thousands. Trailing them are India, Germany, Republic of Korea, France, and the UK. The revelation of the vast attack surface comes days after multiple exploits were made public on January 26 - themselves released just two days after the coordinated disclosure from Jenkins and Yaniv Nizry, the researcher at Sonar who first discovered the vulnerability.
Researchers found roughly 45,000 Jenkins instances exposed online that are vulnerable to CVE-2023-23897, a critical remote code execution flaw for which multiple public proof-of-concept exploits are in circulation. Depending on the instance's configuration, attackers could decrypt stored secrets, delete items from Jenkins servers, and download Java heap dumps.
Several proof-of-concept exploits for a recently patched critical vulnerability in Jenkins have been made public and there's evidence of exploitation in the wild. Jenkins is a widely used Java-based open-source automation server that helps developers build, test and deploy applications, enabling continuous integration and continuous delivery.
Multiple proof-of-concept exploits for a critical Jenkins vulnerability allowing unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files have been made publicly available, with some researchers reporting attackers actively exploiting the flaws in attacks. SonarSource researchers discovered two flaws in Jenkins that could enable attacks to access data in vulnerable servers and execute arbitrary CLI commands under certain conditions.
Cisco is warning that several of its Unified Communications Manager and Contact Center Solutions products are vulnerable to a critical severity remote code execution security issue. Cisco's Unified Communications and Contact Center Solutions are integrated solutions that provide enterprise-level voice, video, and messaging services, as well as customer engagement and management.
The maintainers of the open-source continuous integration/continuous delivery and deployment (CI/CD) automation software Jenkins have resolved nine security flaws, including a critical bug that,...
Malicious actors have begun to actively exploit a recently disclosed critical security flaw impacting Atlassian Confluence Data Center and Confluence Server, within three days of public...
More than 600 IP addresses are launching thousands of exploit attempts against CVE-2023-22527 - a critical bug in out-of-date versions of Atlassian Confluence Data Center and Server - according to non-profit security org Shadowserver. The CVE scored a CVSS rating of 10 out of 10, and it affects Confluence Data Center and Server 8 versions released before December 5, 2023 and versions up to 8.4.5.
Security researchers are observing exploitation attempts for the CVE-2023-22527 remote code execution flaw vulnerability that affects outdated versions of Atlassian Confluence servers. Atlassian disclosed the security issue last week and noted that it impacts only Confluence versions released before December 5, 2023, along with some out-of-support releases.
