We've previously, publicly and privately, analysed vulnerabilities in various ‘Backup and Replication’ platforms, including those offered by Veeam and NAKIVO - both of which have struggled to avoid scrutiny and in some cases, even opting to patch issues silently.
However, we’re glad to see that sense prevails - kudos to NAKIVO for acknowledging CVE-2024-48248 from our previous research and publicly responding to a new XXE vulnerability (CVE-2025-32406).
Backup and Replication solutions have become prime targets for ransomware operators for logical reasons — Veeam, for instance, has already seen widespread exploitation in the wild.
Greetings everyone, In this write-up, we will be exploring the interesting exploitation that has been done against the pfsense CVE-2022-31814. What is pfsense? pfSense software is a FreeBSD-based operating system designed to install and configure a firewall that can be easily configured via the web interface and installed on any PC. With all of the
Cisco has fixed a critical severity vulnerability that lets attackers add new users with root privileges and permanently crash Security Email Gateway (SEG) appliances using emails with malicious attachments.
Tracked as CVE-2024-20401, this arbitrary file write security flaw in the SEG content scanning and message filtering features is caused by an absolute path traversal weakness that allows replacing any file on the underlying operating system.
This is a fun bug I found while poking around at weird Windows file formats. It's a kind of classic Windows style vulnerability featuring broken signing, sketchy DLL loads, file races, cab files, and Mark-of-the-Web silliness. It was also my first experience submitting to the MSRC Windows bug bounty since leaving Microsoft in April of 2022.
Our research team is committed to continuously identifying potential security vulnerabilities and techniques that threat actors may exploit to bypass existing security controls. In this blog post, our team is detailing on a comprehensive research specifically focused on process injection techniques utilized by attackers to deceive robust security products integrated into the security stack, such as EDRs and XDRs. Throughout the blog post, we will delve into various process injection techniques e
