How handcrafted SVGs in applications can compromise applications and lead to full remote code execution in MIT’s Scratch.
Trend Micro Threat Research observed active exploitation of the Spring4Shell vulnerability assigned as CVE-2022-22965, which allows malicious actors to weaponize and execute the Mirai botnet malware. The exploitation allows threat actors to download the Mirai sample to the “/tmp” folder and execute them after permission change using “chmod”.
We began seeing malicious activities at the start of April 2022. We also found the malware file server with other variants of the sample for different CPU architectures.
Man-in-the-Middle (MitM), one of the best known attacks in the world of computer security, is among the greatest concerns for professionals in the field. Main goal of MitM is to compromise confidentiality, integrity and availability of data flowing between source and destination. However, most of its many variants involve difficulties that make it not always possible. The present paper aims at modelling and describing a new method of attack, named Browser-in-the-Middle (BitM) which, despite the similarities with MitM in the way it controls the data flow between a client and the service it accesses, bypasses some of MitM’s typical shortcomings. It could be started by phishing techniques and in some cases coupled to the well-known Man-in-the-Browser (MitB) attack. It will be seen how BitM expands the range of the possible attacker’s actions, at the same time making them easier to implement. Among its features, the absence of the need to install malware of any kind on the victim’s machine and the total control it allows the attacker are to be emphasized.
