∗∗∗ NIST Updates NVD Operations to Address Record CVE Growth ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
NIST is changing the way it handles cybersecurity vulnerabilities and exposures, or CVEs, listed in its National Vulnerability Database (NVD). In the past, NIST’s NVD program aimed to analyze all CVEs to add details — such as severity scores and product lists — that help cybersecurity professionals prioritize and mitigate vulnerabilities. Going forward, NIST will add details, or “enrich,” those CVEs that meet certain criteria, which are explained below.

∗∗∗ [Guest Diary] Compromised DVRs and Finding Them in the Wild, (Thu, Apr 16th) ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Security cameras are great at monitoring physical doors, but terrible at locking their own digital ones. Across the internet, thousands of unpatched DVRs sit publicly exposed, many guarded only by the default vendor passwords they shipped with. For threat actors, these are low-hanging fruit. This write-up details a recent two-second Telnet capture, providing a mechanical breakdown of how quickly an exposed camera system goes from online to fully compromised by bad actors.

Now, under the title of Project Glasswing, over 50 selected companies and orgs are allowed to test the hyped up LLM to find security holes in their own products. But just how many problems have they really discovered?

WhatsApp’s new “Private Inference” feature represents one of the most ambitious attempts to combine end-to-end encryption with AI-powered capabilities, such as message summarization.

Our now-public audit, conducted before launch, identified several vulnerabilities that compromised WhatsApp’s privacy model, all of which Meta has patched.

∗∗∗ Attackers Are Hunting High-Impact Node.js Maintainers in a Coordinated Social Engineering Campaign ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Since we published our initial analysis of the axios compromise, a deep dive into its hidden blast radius, and a report on the maintainer confirming it was social engineering, maintainers across the Node.js ecosystem have come out of the woodwork to report that they were targeted by the same social engineering campaign. The accounts now span some of the most widely depended-upon packages in the npm registry and Node.js core itself, and together they confirm that axios was not a one-off target.

---------------------------------------------
Over the past decade, dozens of newer Rowhammer attacks have evolved to, among other things [..] On Thursday, two research teams, working independently of each other, demonstrated attacks against two cards from Nvidia’s Ampere generation that take GPU rowhammering into new—and potentially much more consequential—territory: GDDR bitflips that give adversaries full control of CPU memory, resulting in full system compromise of the host machine. For the attack to work, IOMMU memory management must be disabled, as is the default in BIOS settings.
