They essentially occur when a web app or a web API backend doesn't properly check that a user is actually allowed to access some info from a database or some other resource. More specifically, IDOR bugs can occur when access is granted to stuff on the basis of the user's input, rather than from looking up that person's access rights.
CISA warned today of the significant breach risks linked to insecure direct object reference vulnerabilities impacting web applications in a joint advisory with the Australian Cyber Security Centre and U.S. National Security Agency. IDOR vulnerabilities are flaws in web apps that enable attackers to access and manipulate sensitive data by directly referencing internal objects or resources.
Threat actors are already engaging in rigorous discussions of how language models can be used for everything from identifying 0-day exploits to craft spear-phishing emails. Threat exposure management firm Flare has identified more than 200,000 OpenAI credentials currently being sold on the dark web in the form of stealer logs.
Multiple security flaws have been disclosed in Apache OpenMeetings, a web conferencing solution, that could be potentially exploited by malicious actors to seize control of admin accounts and run malicious code on susceptible servers. "The acquired admin privileges can further be leveraged to exploit another vulnerability allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code on the Apache OpenMeetings server."
Below we explore the motivations behind these threats, the most prevalent attack strategies, and the steps you can take to protect your web applications. That's not to say that web applications without payment or personal data processing capabilities are immune to attacks.
Threat actors are showing an increased interest in generative artificial intelligence tools, with hundreds of thousands of OpenAI credentials for sale on the dark web and access to a malicious alternative for ChatGPT. Both less skilled and seasoned cybercriminals can use the tools to create more convincing phishing emails that are customized for the intended audience to grow the chances of a successful attack. Hackers tapping into GPT AI. In six months, the users of the dark web and Telegram mentioned ChatGPT, OpenAI's artificial intelligence chatbot, more than 27,000 times, shows data from Flare, a threat exposure management company, shared with BleepingComputer.
In light of these events, I'd like to discuss how OSINT can assist with dark web investigations. Transactions on the dark web often involve cryptocurrency in exchange for illegal goods and services.
TechRepublic Premium Checklist: How to Create a Team Charter A good team charter should define the purpose of a team, how work will get done and the expected outcomes. Often, a team charter is described as a "Roadmap" for the team and its sponsors.
Attackers are exploiting two Adobe ColdFusion vulnerabilities to breach servers and install web shells to enable persistent access and allow remote control of the system, according to Rapid7 researchers. CVE-2023-29298, a critical improper access control flaw that could allow attackers to bypass a security feature CVE-2023-29300, a deserialization of untrusted data that could be exploited for arbitrary code execution CVE-2023-29301, another security feature bypass vulnerability.
Copilot feels like a web wrapper, a pane running Bing.com within Microsoft Edge rather than a fully integrated part of Windows 11. As mentioned above, Copilot is essentially Bing.com running via Microsoft Edge on Windows 11.
