CyFox researchers have discovered a DLL planting/hijacking vulnerability in popular media center application Stremio, which could be exploited by attackers to execute code on the victim’s system,...

A vulnerability management strategy that relies solely on CVSS for vulnerability prioritization is proving to be insufficient at best, according to Rezilion. Relying solely on a CVSS severity score to assess the risk of individual vulnerabilities was shown to be equivalent to randomly selecting vulnerabilities for remediation.

Key factors for effective security automationIn this Help Net Security interview, Oliver Rochford, Chief Futurist at Tenzir, discusses how automation can be strategically integrated with human expertise, the challenges in ensuring data integrity, and the considerations when automating advanced tasks. MikroTik vulnerability could be used to hijack 900,000 routersA privilege escalation vulnerability could allow attackers to commandeer up to 900,000 MikroTik routers, says VulnCheck researcher Jacob Baines.

Ivanti has disclosed yet another security flaw impacting Endpoint Manager Mobile, formerly known as MobileIron Core, that it said has been weaponized as part of an exploit chain by malicious actors in the wild. "This vulnerability can be used in conjunction with CVE-2023-35078, bypassing administrator authentication and ACLs restrictions."

Two weeks after the initial disclosure, Zimbra has released security updates that patch a zero-day vulnerability exploited in attacks targeting Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) email servers. [...]

A privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2023-30799) could allow attackers to commandeer up to 900,000 MikroTik routers, says VulnCheck researcher Jacob Baines. While exploting it does require...

A severe privilege escalation issue impacting MikroTik RouterOS could be weaponized by remote malicious actors to execute arbitrary code and seize full control of vulnerable devices. Cataloged as CVE-2023-30799, the shortcoming is expected to put approximately 500,000 and 900,000 RouterOS systems at risk of exploitation via their web and/or Winbox interfaces, respectively, VulnCheck disclosed in a Tuesday report.

Ivanti is warning users to update their Endpoint Manager Mobile mobile device management software to the latest version that fixes an actively exploited zero-day vulnerability. Dubbed CVE-2023-35078, the issue has been described as a remote unauthenticated API access vulnerability that impacts currently supported version 11.4 releases 11.10, 11.9, and 11.8 as well as older releases.

Details have emerged about a now-patched flaw in OpenSSH that could be potentially exploited to run arbitrary commands remotely on compromised hosts under specific conditions."This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary commands on vulnerable OpenSSH's forwarded ssh-agent," Saeed Abbasi, manager of vulnerability research at Qualys, said in an analysis last week.

Adobe has released a fresh round of updates to address an incomplete fix for a recently disclosed ColdFusion flaw that has come under active exploitation in the wild. The critical shortcoming, tracked as CVE-2023-38205, has been described as an instance of improper access control that could result in a security bypass.
