∗∗∗ Windows Exploitation Tricks: Trapping Virtual Memory Access (2025 Update) ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Back in 2021 I wrote a blog post about various ways you can build a virtual memory access trap primitive on Windows. The goal was to cause a reader or writer of a virtual memory address to halt for a significant (e.g. 1 or more seconds) amount of time, generally for the purpose of exploiting TOCTOU memory access ..

∗∗∗ Infrastructure Laundering: Blending in with the Cloud ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
In an effort to blend in and make their malicious traffic tougher to block, hosting firms catering to cybercriminals in China and Russia increasingly are funneling their operations through major U.S. cloud providers. Research published this week on one such outfit -- a sprawling network tied to Chinese organized crime gangs and aptly named "Funnull" -- highlights a persistent whac-a-mole problem facing cloud services.

[..] The HTA file, in turn, executes a PowerShell command to launch a next-stage payload, a PowerShell script that unpacks a second PowerShell script responsible for decoding and loading the Lumma payload, but not before taking steps to bypass the Windows Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) in an effort to evade detection.

The IP address of a satellite user identifies the ground station location, not the user's location. Starlink, on the other hand, uses satellites in low earth orbit. The network can forward traffic among satellites, but typically, the satellite will attempt to pass the traffic to the closest base station in view. Due to the low orbit, each satellite only "sees" a relatively small area, and the ground station is usually within a couple hundred miles of the user.

∗∗∗ Technical Advisory: Cross-Site Scripting in Umbraco Rich Text Display ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Due to a lack of input sanitization on the server side, Umbraco CMS 14.3.1 or below is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks through the rendering logic for rich text contents. [..] Umbraco has accepted this behavior as the majority of its customer base is unaffected. [..] Identify a C/C++ HTML sanitization framework best suited for the organization if using RTE is mandatory. Seek alternative components in Umbraco for content rendering otherwise.

Researchers at the DistriNet-KU Leuven research group have discovered millions of vulnerable Internet systems that accept unauthenticated IPIP, GRE, 4in6, or 6in4 traffic. This can be considered a generalization of the vulnerability in VU#636397 : IP-in-IP protocol routes arbitrary traffic by default (CVE-2020-10136). The exposed systems can be abused as one-way proxies, enable an adversary to spoof the source address of packets (CWE-290 Authentication Bypass by Spoofing), or permit access to an organization's private network.
