∗∗∗ New Spectre v2 attack impacts Linux systems on Intel CPUs ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Researchers have demonstrated the "first native Spectre v2 exploit" for a new speculative execution side-channel flaw that impacts Linux systems running on many modern Intel processors. [..] The hardware vendor has indicated that future processors will include mitigations for BHI and potentially other speculative execution vulnerabilities. For a complete list of impacted Intel processors to the various speculative execution side-channel flaws, check this page updated by the vendor.

∗∗∗ DragonForce Ransomware - What You Need To Know ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
A relatively new strain of ransomware called DragonForce has making the headlines after a series of high-profile attacks. Like many other ransomware groups, DragonForce attempts to extort money from its victims in two ways - locking companies out of their computers and data through encryption, and exfiltrating data from compromised systems with the threat of releasing it to others via the dark web. So far, so normal. How did DragonForce come to prominence?

∗∗∗ Control Web Panel - Fingerprinting Open-Source Software using a Consolidation Algorithm approach ∗∗∗

This blog post details one of these very unique cases: `CVE-2022-44877`, an unauthenticated Command Injection issue, flagged by CISA as a Known Exploited Vulnerability (CISA KEV), affecting Control Web Panel, an open-source control panel for servers and VPS management. Initially, the team could not find a way to straightforwardly fingerprint the software’s version, nor another way to detect it without intrusive exploitation - thus we used a novelty technique: an algorithm that retrieves the web application’s static web content files and consolidates them to pin-point the software’s version.

∗∗∗ 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.

∗∗∗ AI-as-a-Service Providers Vulnerable to PrivEsc and Cross-Tenant Attacks ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
New research has found that artificial intelligence (AI)-as-a-service providers such as Hugging Face are susceptible to two critical risks that could allow threat actors to escalate privileges, gain cross-tenant access to other customers models, and even take over the continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. [..] To mitigate the issue, it's recommended to enable IMDSv2 with Hop Limit so as to prevent pods from accessing the Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) and obtaining the role of a Node within the cluster.

∗∗∗ The Illusion of Privacy: Geolocation Risks in Modern Dating Apps ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
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.
