∗∗∗ Malicious ads push Lumma infostealer via fake CAPTCHA pages ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
DeceptionAds can be seen as a newer and more dangerous variant of the "ClickFix" attacks, where victims are tricked into running malicious PowerShell commands on their machine, infecting themselves with malware. ClickFix actors have employed phishing emails, fake CAPTCHA pages on pirate software sites, malicious Facebook pages, and even GitHub issues redirecting users to dangerous landing pages.

Over 25,000 publicly accessible SonicWall SSLVPN devices are vulnerable to critical severity flaws, with 20,000 using a SonicOS/OSX firmware version that the vendor no longer supports. [..] Public exposure means that the firewall's management or SSL VPN interfaces are accessible from the internet, presenting an opportunity for attackers to probe for vulnerabilities, outdated/unpatched firmware, misconfigurations, and brute-force weak passwords.

In October 2024, Zscaler ThreatLabz came across malware samples that use a network communication protocol that is similar to RisePro. However, unlike RisePro which has primarily been used for information stealing, this new malware specializes in downloading and executing second-stage payloads. Due its distinctive focus and similarities with RisePro’s communication protocol, we named this new malware family RiseLoader.

More details released after devs allowed weeks to apply fixes.

[..] Considering remote attackers could exploit the vulnerability without requiring any privileges, combined with the high impact to system confidentiality, integrity, and availability, it's likely the Apache Foundation withheld the juiciest details to allow customers to upgrade to a safe version (Struts 6.4.0 or greater).

∗∗∗ Hunk Companion WordPress plugin exploited to install vulnerable plugins ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
The issue impacts all versions of Hunk Companion before the latest 1.9.0, released yesterday, which addressed the problem. While investigating a WordPress site infection, WPScan discovered active exploitation of CVE-2024-11972 to install a vulnerable version of WP Query Console. [..] By installing outdated plugins with known vulnerabilities with available exploits, the attackers can access a large pool of flaws that lead to remote code execution (RCE), SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws, or create backdoor admin accounts.

---------------------------------------------
Cybersecurity researchers at Group-IB have exposed an ongoing phishing operation that has been targeting employees and associates from over 30 companies across 12 industries and 15 jurisdictions. [..] What makes this campaign dangerous is the use of advanced techniques designed to bypass Secure Email Gateways (SEGs) and evade detection. [..] This campaign is ongoing therefore, companies need to watch out for what comes to their inbox.

∗∗∗ AMD’s trusted execution environment blown wide open by new BadRAM attack ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
On Tuesday, an international team of researchers unveiled BadRAM, a proof-of-concept attack that completely undermines security assurances that chipmaker AMD makes to users of one of its most expensive and well-fortified microprocessor product lines. Starting with the AMD Epyc 7003 processor, a feature known as SEV-SNP—short for Secure Encrypted Virtualization and Secure Nested Paging—has provided the cryptographic means for certifying that a VM hasn’t been compromised by any sort of backdoor installed by someone with access to the physical machine running it.

Indirect prompt attacks are when an LLM takes input from external sources but where an attacker gets to smuggle payloads (additional prompts!) into these external/side sources. These malicious additional prompts modify the overall prompt, breaking out of the data context as they are treated as instructions (they are additional prompts, commands, if you will) and, in turn, influence the initial user prompt provided together with the system prompt and with that, the subsequent actions and output.

Zloader (a.k.a. Terdot, DELoader, or Silent Night) is a modular Trojan based on the leaked Zeus source code that emerged in 2015. The malware was originally designed to facilitate banking fraud via Automated Clearing House (ACH) and wire transfers. However, similar to other malware families like Qakbot and Trickbot, Zloader has been repurposed for initial access, providing an entry point into corporate environments for the deployment of ransomware.

Ebenso bessert die mitgelieferte libcurl-Bibliothek zwei Sicherheitslücken aus (CVE-2023-38545, CVSS 9.8, Risiko "kritisch"; CVE-2023-38546, CVSS 3.7, niedrig). Auch im "Snow Service" lauerten zuvor zwei "Reverse Shell"-Schwachstellen (CVE-2024-1148, CVSS 9.8, kritisch; CVE-2024-11482 [noch nicht öffentlich]).

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency often breaks into critical organizations' networks – with their permission, of course – to simulate real-world cyber attacks and thereby help improve their security.

In other words: give it a read and learn from this critical infrastructure organization's mistakes – and the things it did well – to keep real criminals out of your IT environment.

∗∗∗ PHP Reinfector and Backdoor Malware Target WordPress Sites ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
We recently observed a surge in WordPress websites being infected by a sophisticated PHP reinfector and backdoor malware. While we initially believed that the infection was linked to the wpcode plugin, we found that several sites without this plugin were compromised as well. Upon deeper investigation, we discovered that this malware not only reinfects website files but also embeds malicious code into other plugins and database tables wp_posts and wp_options.
