In late 2022 and early 2023, Project Zero reported eighteen 0-day vulnerabilities in Exynos Modems produced by Samsung Semiconductor. The four most severe of these eighteen vulnerabilities (CVE-2023-24033 and three other vulnerabilities that have yet to be assigned CVE-IDs) allowed for Internet-to-baseband remote code execution. Tests conducted by Project Zero confirm that those four vulnerabilities allow an attacker to remotely compromise a phone at the baseband level with no user interaction, and require only that the attacker know the victim's phone number. With limited additional research and development, we believe that skilled attackers would be able to quickly create an operational exploit to compromise affected devices silently and remotely.
Microsoft today patched 80 different vulnerabilities. This includes the Chromium vulnerabilities affecting Microsoft Edge. Nine vulnerabilities are rated as "Critical" by Microsoft.
Three of the vulnerabilities, all rated "important", are already being exploited
We see that one of our vulnerabilities is exploited in the wild Link. So we decided to public the detail analysis of our two bug chains. Any customer has enough information to mitigate these bugs. The vendor also released all patches a week ago. This blog post shares the detail
During the fall of 2022, a few friends and I took a road trip from Chicago, IL to Washington, DC to attend a cybersecurity conference and (try) to take a break from our usual computer work.
While we were visiting the University of Maryland, we came across a fleet of electric scooters scattered across the campus and couldn't resist poking at the scooter's mobile app. To our surprise, our actions caused the horns and headlights on all of the scooters to turn on and stay on for 15 minutes straight.
When everything eventually settled down, we sent a report over to the scooter manufacturer and became super interested in trying to more ways to make more things honk. We brainstormed for a while, and then realized that nearly every automobile manufactured in the last 5 years had nearly identical functionality. If an attacker were able to find vulnerabilities in the API endpoints that vehicle telematics systems used, they could honk the horn, flash the lights, remotely track, lock/unlock, and start/stop vehicles, completely remotely.
BMC&C Eclypsium Research has discovered and reported 3 vulnerabilities in American Megatrends, Inc. (AMI) MegaRAC Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) software. We are referring to these vulnerabilities collectively as BMC&C. MegaRAC BMC is widely used by many leading server manufacturers to provide “lights-out” management capabilities for their server products. Server manufacturers…
FortiGuardLabs examines a botnet known as Zerobot written in the Go language targeting IoT vulnerabilities. Read our blog to learn about how it evolves, including self-replication, attacks for different protocols, and self-propagation as well as its behavior once inside an infected device.
As the amount of new memory-unsafe code entering Android has decreased, so too has the number of memory safety vulnerabilities. From 2019 to 2022 it has dropped from 76% down to 35% of Android’s total vulnerabilities. 2022 is the first year where memory safety vulnerabilities do not represent a majority of Android’s vulnerabilities.
Rapid7 discovered several vulnerabilities and exposures in F5 BIG-IP and BIG-IQ devices running a customized distribution of CentOS detailed in F5's Base Operating Systems support article. The affected products are detailed in the vendor advisories below:
On March 2nd, I reported several security vulnerabilities to VMWare impacting their Identity Access Management (IAM) solution. In this blog post I will discu...
Researchers have found a way to use the web's basic functions to identify who visits a site—without the user detecting the hack.
In early 2022, we investigated an IIS backdoor called SessionManager. It has been used against NGOs, government, military and industrial organizations in Africa, South America, Asia, Europe, Russia and the Middle East.
The IRAY A8Z3 thermal camera for industrial application, manufactured by Infiray/IRay Technologies is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Sometimes when we publish details and writeups about vulnerabilities we are so focused on the actual bug, that we don't notice others, which might be still hidden inside the details. The same can happen when we read these issues, but if we keep our eyes open we might find hidden gems.
