Elastic researchers uncovered a new technique, GrimResource, which allows full code execution via specially crafted MSC files. It underscores a trend of well-resourced attackers favoring innovative initial access methods to evade defenses.
Polyfill.io is a service that automatically provides front-end polyfills, making it very convenient to use. You just need to select the functionality you want to polyfill and then include a JavaScript
Lors de sa séance du 19 juin 2024, le Conseil fédéral a approuvé le rapport établi en réponse au postulat 22.3006 de la Commission de la politique de sécurité du Conseil national «État des lieux relatif à la menace que constituent pour la Suisse les campagnes de désinformation». Le rapport montre l’impact sur le pays des activités d’influence dans l’espace de l’information, les éléments caractéristiques pertinents dans ce contexte et les mesures supplémentaires que le Conseil fédéral entend prendre pour contrer ces menaces.
A recently disclosed critical-severity vulnerability in discontinued Zyxel NAS devices is already exploited in botnet attacks, the Shadowserver Foundation warns.
Tracked as CVE-2024-29973, the issue is described as a code injection flaw that can be exploited remotely without authentication. It was introduced last year, when Zyxel patched CVE-2023-27992, a similar code injection bug.
“While patching this vulnerability, they added a new endpoint which uses the same approach as the old ones, and while doing so, implemented the same mistakes as its predecessors,” explains Outpost24 security researcher Timothy Hjort, who discovered and reported the security defect.
A few months ago, I stumbled upon a 24 years old buffer overflow in the glibc, the base library for linux programs. Despite being reachable in multiple well-known libraries or executables, it proved rarely exploitable — while it didn't provide much leeway, it required hard-to-achieve preconditions. Looking for targets lead mainly to disappointment. On PHP however, the bug shone, and proved useful in exploiting its engine in two different ways.
The agency found no evidence that hackers exfiltrated information but noted the intrusion “may have resulted in the potential unauthorized access” to security plans, vulnerability assessments and user accounts within a national system to protect the chemicals sector.
A novel command execution technique dubbed 'GrimResource' uses specially crafted MSC (Microsoft Saved Console) and an unpatched Windows XSS flaw to perform code execution via the Microsoft Management Console.
Wiz Research discovered CVE-2024-37032, an easy-to-exploit Remote Code Execution vulnerability in the open-source AI Infrastructure project Ollama.
Rapid7 observed a recent malvertising campaign luring users to download malicious installers for popular software like Google Chrome and Microsoft Teams.

A cyber attacker compromised Indonesia's national data centre, disrupting immigration checks at airports, and asked for an $8 million ransom, the country's communications minister told Reuters on Monday.
The attack disrupted several government services, most notably at airports last week, with long lines forming at immigration desks. Automated passport machines were now functioning, the communications ministry said.
Personal information, including partial payment details, may have been obtained by bad actors during an automated credential-stuffing attack on Levi’s online store.
The maker of the famous Levi’s denim jeans reported that over 72,000 accounts were affected during a “security incident” that was detected on July 13th.
The Spanish banking giant was one of the first organizations to report a breach in the Snowflake incident, which is now known to have affected about 165 organizations.
Hackers are exploiting a flaw in a premium Facebook module for PrestaShop named pkfacebook to deploy a card skimmer on vulnerable e-commerce sites and steal people's payment credit card details.
Android, Google’s most popular mobile operating system, powers billions of smartphones and tablets globally. Known for its open-source nature and flexibility, Android offers users a wide array of features, customization options, and access to a vast ecosystem of applications through the Google Play Store and other sources.
However, with its widespread adoption and open environment comes the risk of malicious activity. Android malware, a malicious software designed to target Android devices, poses a significant threat to users’ privacy, security, and data integrity. These malicious programs come in various forms, including viruses, Trojans, ransomware, spyware, and adware, and they can infiltrate devices through multiple vectors, such as app downloads, malicious websites, phishing attacks, and even system vulnerabilities.

At Project Zero, we constantly seek to expand the scope and effectiveness of our vulnerability research. Though much of our work still relies on traditional methods like manual source code audits and reverse engineering, we're always looking for new approaches.
As the code comprehension and general reasoning ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) has improved, we have been exploring how these models can reproduce the systematic approach of a human security researcher when identifying and demonstrating security vulnerabilities. We hope that in the future, this can close some of the blind spots of current automated vulnerability discovery approaches, and enable automated detection of "unfuzzable" vulnerabilities.
