CISA released a warning to federal agencies on May 18 that APT actors are actively exploiting recent vulnerabilities found in VMware, including CVE-2022-22954. Your first thought may have been to want new signatures, indicators, and/or behavioral techniques to detect attempted and successful exploits. If you’re a Zeek user or Corelight customer, you’ll find that sometimes you’re already getting what you need.
Like any company that uses web apps or enterprise software built with Java, San Francisco-based LiveRamp was concerned that it had been infected by the Log4Shell zero-day vulnerability within Log4j — the popular open source logging library.
Fixing vulnerabilities can be hard—especially so for cloud-native applications. Let’s take a deeper look at why this is, and how mitigating controls can help secure your cloud-native applications.
Ransomware continues to be a prevalent threat to almost every modern industry after a sudden renaissance at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic as threat actors sought to capitalize on overwhelmed organizations and their suddenly vulnerable employees. It poses a particular danger to companies that hold sensitive data and house valuable assets, or those that could impact countless other industries and organizations should their critical operations be taken offline.
To stay ahead of malicious attacks, developers and security teams must have a way to identify, prioritize, fix, and monitor vulnerabilities, a process known as vulnerability remediation. When it comes to detection, organizations can use a variety of application security testing (AST) tools to identify vulnerabilities in software applications and other systems.
CVE-2022-26809 was patched in Microsoft’s previous Patch Tuesday (April 12) and it’s a doozy: remote code execution on affected versions of DCE/RPC hosts. The vulnerability attracted a lot of attention in the security community, both because of its severity but also because it appears to be really hard to trigger.
Software testing is notoriously hard. Search Google for CVEs caused by basic CRLF (newline character) issues and you’ll see thousands of entries. Humanity has been able to put a man on the moon, but it hasn’t yet found a proper way to handle line endings in text files. It’s those subtle corner cases that have a strong tendency of being overlooked by programmers.
