One of our readers, Mark, observed attacks attempting to exploit the vulnerability from two IP addresses: 173.255.223.159: An Akamai/Linode IP address. We do not have any reports from this IP address. Shodan suggests that the system may have recently hosted a WordPress site. 146.70.192.174: A system in Singapore that has been actively scanning various ports in March and April.

New cybersecurity research has found that command-line interface (CLI) tools from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud can expose sensitive credentials in build logs, posing significant risks to organizations. The vulnerability has been codenamed LeakyCLI by cloud security firm Orca. [..] Unlike Microsoft, however, both Amazon and Google consider this to be expected behavior, requiring that organizations take steps to avoid storing secrets in environment variables and instead use a dedicated secrets store service like AWS Secrets Manager or Google Cloud Secret Manager.

On April 10, 2024, Volexity identified zero-day exploitation of a vulnerability found within the GlobalProtect feature of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS at one of its network security monitoring (NSM) customers. During its investigation, Volexity observed that UTA0218 attempted to install a custom Python backdoor, which Volexity calls UPSTYLE, on the firewall. The UPSTYLE backdoor allows the attacker to execute additional commands on the device via specially crafted network requests. Details on this backdoor are included further on in this report.

∗∗∗ New SharePoint flaws help hackers evade detection when stealing files ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Researchers have discovered two techniques that could enable attackers to bypass audit logs or generate less severe entries when downloading files from SharePoint. [..] Varonis disclosed these bugs in November 2023, and Microsoft added the flaws to a patch backlog for future fixing. However, the issues were rated as moderate severity, so they won't receive immediate fixes. Therefore, SharePoint admins should be aware of these risks and learn to identify and mitigate them until patches become available.

Key takeaways Introduction Dating apps traditionally utilize location data, offering the opportunity to connect with people nearby, and enhancing the chances of real-life meetings. Some apps can also display the distance of the user to other users. This feature is quite useful for coordinating meetups, indicating whether a potential match is just a short distance away or a kilometer apart. However, openly sharing your distance with other users can create serious security issues. The risks become apparent when you consider the potential misuse by a curious individual armed with advanced knowledge of techniques like trilateration.

∗∗∗ The Mystery of ‘Jia Tan,’ the XZ Backdoor Mastermind ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
As scrutiny around Jia Tan has mounted since the revelation of the XZ Utils backdoor last Friday, researchers have noted that the persona has remarkably good operational security. [..] The Jia Tan persona has vanished since the backdoor was discovered [..] In fact, the only real footprints Jia Tan appears to have left behind were their contributions to the open source development community, where they were a prolific contributor: Disturbingly, Jia Tan’s first code change was to the “libarchive” compression library, another very widely used open source component. [..] In total, Jia Tan made 6,000 code changes to at least seven projects between 2021 and February 2024 [..] Security researchers agree, at least, that it’s unlikely that Jia Tan is a real person, or even one person working alone. Instead, it seems clear that the persona was the online embodiment of a new tactic from a new, well-organized organization—a tactic that nearly worked.

∗∗∗ XZ Utils Backdoor Attack Brings Another Similar Incident to Light ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
In a post on Mastodon, Hans-Christoph Steiner, a maintainer of F-Droid, recalled a similar story from 2020, when an individual attempted to get F-Droid developers to add what later was determined to be a SQL injection vulnerability. That attempt was unsuccessful, but has some similarities to the XZ incident.
