Microsoft Threat Intelligence uncovered a macOS vulnerability that could potentially allow an attacker to bypass the operating system’s Transparency, Consent, and Control (TCC) technology and gain unauthorized access to a user’s protected data. The vulnerability, which we refer to as “HM Surf”, involves removing the TCC protection for the Safari browser directory and modifying a configuration file in the said directory to gain access to the user’s data, including browsed pages, the device’s camera, microphone, and location, without the user’s consent. [..] Apple released a fix for this vulnerability, now identified as CVE-2024-44133, as part of security updates for macOS Sequoia, released on September 16, 2024.

∗∗∗ Cloudflare blocks largest recorded DDoS attack peaking at 3.8Tbps ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
During a distributed denial-of-service campaign targeting organizations in the financial services, internet, and telecommunications sectors, volumetric attacks peaked at 3.8 terabits per second, the largest publicly recorded to date. The assault consisted of a "month-long" barrage of more than 100 hyper-volumetric DDoS attacks flood. [..] Many of the attacks aimed at the target’s network infrastructure (network and transport layers L3/4) exceeded two billion packets per second (pps) and three terabits per second (Tbps). [..] The threat actor behind the campaign leveraged multiple types of compromised devices, which included a large number of Asus home routers, Mikrotik systems, DVRs, and web servers.

---------------------------------------------
Approximately 5% of all Adobe Commerce and Magento online stores, or 4,275 in absolute numbers, have been hacked in "CosmicSting" attacks. [..] The CosmicSting vulnerability (CVE-2024-34102) is a critical severity information disclosure flaw; when chained with CVE-2024-2961, a security issue in glibc's iconv function, an attacker can achieve remote code execution on the target server. [..] Sansec says that multiple threat actors are now conducting attacks as patching speed is not matching the critical nature of the situation.

Spammers are always looking for creative ways to bypass spam filters. As a spammer, one of the problems with creating your own architecture to deliver mail is that, once the spam starts flowing, these sources (IPs/domains) can be blocked. Spam can more easily find its way into the inbox if it is delivered from an unexpected or legitimate source. Realizing this, many spammers have elected to attack web pages and mail servers of legitimate organizations, so they may use these “pirated” resources to send unsolicited email.

While going over a batch of phishing e-mails that were delivered to us here at the Internet Storm Center during the first half of September, I noticed one message which was somewhat unusual. Not because it was untypically sophisticated or because it used some completely new technique, but rather because its authors took advantage of one of the less commonly misused aspects of the URI format – the ability to specify information about a user in the URI before its "host" part (domain or IP address).

∗∗∗ ISPs infiltriert: Zero Day seit Monaten ausgenutzt ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Eine Sicherheitslücke der Netzwerksoftware Versa Director (CVE-2024-39717) wird stärker ausgenutzt als zunächst bekannt. Bei mindestens drei Internet Service Providern (ISP) in den USA und einem außerhalb des Landes haben sich Angreifer eingenistet, um Kundenlogins und Passwörter im Klartext abzufangen, bevor sie gehasht und beim ISP gespeichert werden. [..] Der Angriff schlägt fehl, wenn die Versa-Patches installiert wurden oder wenn Port 4566 von Kundenroutern aus nicht erreichbar ist. Für Letzteres empfiehlt Versa bereits seit Jahren passende Firewall-Einstellungen und Systemhärtungen.

Zum 13. August 2024 wurde die 0-day-Schwachstelle CVE-2024-38063 in Windows bekannt. Es handelt sich um eine Remote-Code-Execution-Schwachstelle in der TCP/IP-Implementierung von Windows steckt. Angreifer können über IPv6-Pakete einen Host kompromittieren und dort Code ausführen. Weben der Bewertung mit dem CVEv3 Score 9.8 (critical, "Exploitation More Likely") empfiehlt Redmond Administratoren momentan IPv6 zu deaktivieren, hat aber auch Sicherheitsupdates für Windows bereitgestellt. Hier sollten Administratoren also reagieren.

The case of Styx Stealer is a compelling example of how even sophisticated cybercriminal operations can slip up due to basic security oversights. The creator of Styx Stealer revealed his personal details, including Telegram accounts, emails, and contacts, by debugging the stealer on his own computer with a Telegram bot token provided by a customer involved in the Agent Tesla campaign. This critical OpSec failure not only compromised his anonymity but also provided valuable intelligence about other cybercriminals, including the originator of the Agent Tesla campaign.
