• The FunkSec ransomware group emerged in late 2024 and published over 85 victims in December, surpassing every other ransomware group that month.
• FunkSec operators appear to use AI-assisted malware development which can enable even inexperienced actors to quickly produce and refine advanced tools.
• The group’s activities straddle the line between hacktivism and cybercrime, complicating efforts to understand their true motivations.
• Many of the group’s leaked datasets are recycled from previous hacktivism campaigns, raising doubts about the authenticity of their disclosures.
• Current methods of assessing ransomware group threats often rely on the actors’ own claims, highlighting the need for more objective evaluation techniques.

In December 2024, two critical vulnerabilities in Microsoft's Windows Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) were addressed via Microsoft’s monthly Patch Tuesday release. Both vulnerabilities were deemed as highly significant due to the widespread use of LDAP in Windows environments:

CVE-2024-49112: A remote code execution (RCE) bug that attackers can exploit by sending specially crafted LDAP requests, allowing them to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
CVE-2024-49113: A denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability that can be exploited to crash the LDAP service, leading to service disruptions.
In this blog entry, we discuss a fake proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2024-49113 (aka LDAPNightmare) designed to lure security researchers into downloading and executing information-stealing malware.

Zero-day exploitation of Ivanti Connect Secure VPN vulnerabilities since as far back as December 2024.

On Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2025, Ivanti disclosed two vulnerabilities, CVE-2025-0282 and CVE-2025-0283, impacting Ivanti Connect Secure (“ICS”) VPN appliances. Mandiant has identified zero-day exploitation of CVE-2025-0282 in the wild beginning mid-December 2024. CVE-2025-0282 is an unauthenticated stack-based buffer overflow. Successful exploitation could result in unauthenticated remote code execution, leading to potential downstream compromise of a victim network.

On Wednesday, January 8, 2025, Ivanti disclosed two CVEs affecting Ivanti Connect Secure, Policy Secure, and Neurons for ZTA gateways. CVE-2025-0282 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the target device. CVE-2025-0283 is a stack-based buffer overflow that allows local authenticated attackers to escalate privileges on the device.
