∗∗∗ MITRE CVE Program - the past, the present .. and the (European) future. ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program is a globally adopted system for identifying and naming cybersecurity vulnerabilities with unique IDs. Established in 1999 by researchers at the MITRE Corporation (a U.S. non-profit R&D organization), CVE was created to ensure that different security tools and stakeholders can refer to the same vulnerability in a consistent way.

∗∗∗ RedTail, Remnux and Malware Management [Guest Diary], (Wed, Apr 16th) ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
When I first saw malware being uploaded to my honeypot, I was lacking the requisite experience to reverse engineer it, and to understand what was happening with the code. Even though I could use any text editor to examine the associated scripts that were being uploaded with RedTail malware, I couldn’t see what was happening with the redtail malware itself. So, I decided to create a how-to on setting up a malware analysis program.

∗∗∗ Sonicwall Netextender: Sicherheitslecks gefährden Windows-Client ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
In der Sicherheitsmitteilung schreiben die Sonicwall-Entwickler, dass insbesondere der Windows-Client der SSL-VPN-Software Netextender betroffen ist. Das größte Risiko geht von einer unzureichenden Rechteverwaltung in Sonicwall Netextender Windows, sowohl in der 32- als auch der 64-Bit-Version, aus. Angreifer mit niedrigen Rechten können dadurch Konfigurationen verändern (CVE-2025-23008, CVSS 7.2, Risiko "hoch").

Über zwei Wochen nach Bekanntwerden eines Datenlecks in einer seiner Cloud-Umgebungen wandte sich Oracle nun mit einer E-Mail an Kunden.

In diesen sind weit mehr als lediglich Usernamen zu finden – neben E-Mail-Adressen, verschiedenen Passworthashes und den Oracle-internen Tenant-Kennungen finden sich auch die Namen der betroffenen Systeme sowie eine Vielzahl von Zeitstempeln.

∗∗∗ Obfuscated Malicious Python Scripts with PyArmor, (Wed, Apr 9th) ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Obfuscation is very important for many developers. They may protect their code for multiple reasons like copyright, anti-cheat (games), or to protect their code from being reused. If an obfuscated program does not mean automatically that it is malicious, its often a good sign. For malware developers, obfuscation helps bypass many static security controls and slows down the reverse analysis process. Yesterday, I spotted some malicious Python scripts that were protected using the same technique: PyArmor.

∗∗∗ Is The Sofistication In The Room With Us? - X-Forwarded-For and Ivanti Connect Secure (CVE-2025-22457) ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Exploitation is always a tricky subject. Vendors want to minimize disruption to their userbase and avoid unnecessary patching, but they also need to balance that with the userbase's safety. [..] It appears that this is what happened here - Ivanti made a judgment call, believing that exploiting the vulnerability, given the requirement that the payload must comprise only of 0123456789., was impossible. Unfortunately, an advanced attacker seems to have proved them wrong.

In an April 2 update, the NVD announced that all CVEs published before 2018 will be marked as Deferred—a move thats already resulted in 20,000 Deferred CVEs overnight, with potentially 100,000 more to come: All CVEs with a published date prior to 01/01/2018 will be marked as Deferred within the NVD.
