Horizon3 security researchers have released proof-of-concept exploit code for a remote code execution bug in the MOVEit Transfer managed file transfer solution abused by the Clop ransomware gang in data theft attacks. With the release of this RCE PoC exploit, more threat actors will likely move quickly to deploy it in attacks or create their own custom versions to target any unpatched servers left exposed to Internet access.
Fortinet has released patches to address a critical security flaw in its FortiGate firewalls that could be abused by a threat actor to achieve remote code execution.The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2023-27997, is "Reachable pre-authentication, on every SSL VPN appliance," Lexfo Security researcher Charles Fol, who discovered and reported the flaw, said in a tweet over the weekend.
Fortinet has released several versions of FortiOS, the OS/firmware powering its Fortigate firewalls and other devices, without mentioning that they include a fix for CVE-2023-27997, a remote code execution flaw that does not require the attacker to be logged in to exploit it. The vulnerability has been fixed in FortiOS versions 7.2.5, 7.0.12, 6.4.13, 6.2.15 and, apparently also in v6.0.17.
Fortinet has released new Fortigate firmware updates that fix an undisclosed, critical pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability in SSL VPN devices. While not mentioned in the release notes, security professionals and admins have hinted that the updates quietly fixed a critical SSL-VPN RCE vulnerability that would be disclosed on Tuesday, June 13th, 2023.
A researcher has published a working exploit for a remote code execution flaw impacting ReportLab Toolkit, a popular Python library used by numerous projects to generate PDF files from HTML input. ReportLab Toolkit is used by multiple projects as a PDF library and has approximately 3.5 million monthly downloads on PyPI. The problem stems from the ability to bypass sandbox restrictions on 'rl safe eval,' whose role is to prevent malicious code execution, leading to the attacker accessing potentially dangerous Python built-in functions.
D-Link has fixed two critical-severity vulnerabilities in its D-View 8 network management suite that could allow remote attackers to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary code.D-View is a network management suite developed by the Taiwanese networking solutions vendor D-Link, used by businesses of all sizes for monitoring performance, controlling device configurations, creating network maps, and generally making network management and administration more efficient and less time-consuming.
A new malware botnet named 'AndoryuBot' is targeting a critical-severity flaw in the Ruckus Wireless Admin panel to infect unpatched Wi-Fi access points for use in DDoS attacks.Tracked as CVE-2023-25717, the flaw impacts all Ruckus Wireless Admin panels version 10.4 and older, allowing remote attackers to perform code execution by sending unauthenticated HTTP GET requests to vulnerable devices.
A new proof-of-concept exploit for an actively exploited PaperCut vulnerability was released that bypasses all known detection rules. The PaperCut vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2023-27350, is a critical severity unauthenticated remote code execution flaw in PaperCut MF or NG versions 8.0 or later that has been exploited in ransomware attacks.
Cisco has revealed the existence of a critical vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco SPA112 2-Port Phone Adapters. "This vulnerability is due to a missing authentication process within the firmware upgrade function. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by upgrading an affected device to a crafted version of firmware," Cisco's security advisory explains.
Cisco has disclosed a vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco SPA112 2-Port Phone Adapters, allowing an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the devices. These phone adapters are a popular choice in the industry for incorporating analog phones into VoIP networks without upgrading.
