∗∗∗ Someone Knows Bash Far Too Well, And We Love It (Ivanti EPMM Pre-Auth RCEs CVE-2026-1281 & CVE-2026-1340) ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
When Ivanti removed the embargoes from CVE-2026-1281 and CVE-2026-1340 - pre-auth Remote Command Execution vulnerabilities in Ivanti’s Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) solution - we sighed with relief. Clearly, the universe had decided to continue mocking Secure-By-Design signers right on schedule - every January. [..] As we are always keen to remind everyone, today’s blog post didn’t ruin your weekend. Firstly, the APT currently exploiting these vulnerabilities, and secondly, your lack of response to the warnings from Ivanti and CISA did.

∗∗∗ Researchers Find 175,000 Publicly Exposed Ollama AI Servers Across 130 Countries ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Ollama is an open-source framework that allows users to easily download, run, and manage large language models (LLMs) locally on Windows, macOS, and Linux. While the service binds to the localhost address at 127.0.0[.]1:11434 by default, it's possible to expose it to the public internet by means of a trivial change: configuring it to bind to 0.0.0[.]0 or a public interface. The fact that Ollama, like the recently popular Moltbot (formerly Clawdbot), is hosted locally and operates outside of the enterprise security perimeter, poses new security concerns.

---------------------------------------------
ConsentFix (a.k.a. AuthCodeFix) is the latest variant of the fix-type phishing attacks, initially identified by Push Security1. In this technique, the adversary tricks the victim into generating an OAuth authorization code that is part of a localhost URL by signing in to the Azure CLI instance (or other vulnerable applications). Then, the victim is instructed to copy that URL and paste it into a phishing website, essentially handing over the authorization code to the adversary, who is now able to exchange it for an access token. Using the access token, the adversary gets access to the victim’s Microsoft account.

[..] In Multiplayer Screeps worlds, all of the code to progress the game runs on the server, including the AI for your units. [..] Screeps is on Steam, and the native client reuses the browser code but with no sandboxing. nw.require('child_process').exec('your command here') will get you full command line access to the target machine.
