ManageEngine's CVE-2022-47966 vulnerability is a critical issue that allows an attacker to gain remote code execution on the server running the ManageEngine software. The vulnerability is caused by two main factors: the validation order of SAML and XSLT injection. Firstly, the vulnerability is caused by how the software handles SAML information validation. SAML is a standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between systems. In ManageEngine, the software fa

Citrix is a global leader in providing digital workspace solutions, and as such, it is a popular target for cyber attackers. One such attack is the recently discovered vulnerability known as CVE-2022-27518. In this blog, we will discuss the details of this vulnerability, how it affects Citrix and the technical workings of this exploit. First, let's define what a CVE is. Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) is a standardized way of identifying and categorizing vulnerabil

CVE-2022-27516 is a severe vulnerability recently discovered in Citrix, a widely-used software program. This vulnerability has the potential to wreak havoc on Citrix users, and it is important for individuals and organizations that use the program to take steps to protect themselves against it. The vulnerability in question lies within Citrix's handling of certain types of data inputs. Specifically, the program fails to properly validate and sanitize user-supplied input, allo

CVE-2022-42475 is a recently discovered vulnerability in the software that powers Fortinet, a popular cybersecurity company. This vulnerability has the potential to be exploited by hackers to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information, making it a serious concern for both Fortinet and its customers. The vulnerability is a type of flaw known as a "buffer overflow" error. This occurs when a computer program attempts to store more data in a temporary memory buffer than it

We have recently observed threat actors evolving their procedures in light of Microsoft disabling macros by default in office documents. This new technique would allow threat actors to continue to bypass security controls to infect one or more hosts in an environment. In light of the latest Microsoft Office vulnerabilities, we will likely see broad adoption of macro-less infected documents that will lead to many organizations getting hacked. While Microsoft has shared mitigat

CVE-2022-1388 is a critical CVE (CVSS 9.8) in F5 Networks’ BIG-IP solution management interface. This CVE will allow threat actors to bypass F5’s iControl REST authentication to gain remote code execution. This is not the first significant vulnerability we have seen with the BIG-IP platform. In 2021, security practitioners worldwide observed attacks against the iControl REST API as well. This was tracked as CVE-2021-22986. The vulnerability is what security researchers call a

A critical vulnerability CVE-2022-22965 (Spring4Shell or SpringShell) was found on March 29, 2022, in an open-source Java framework while testing named Spring. This vulnerability allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code on a web server. Spring is a widely used framework, so this vulnerability can be highly lethal. The data binding feature of Spring Framework was used to bind data in an HTTP request to some of the objects being used in an application. The vulnerability ex

On patch Tuesday, April 12, 2022, Microsoft released patches for CVE-2022-26809. A vulnerability that is a zero-click exploit targeting Microsoft RPC services. As of right now, there is not a PoC out in the wild. However, the scanning for the vulnerability has increased. Based on the impact of this vulnerability, it is likely that there will be a PoC in the wild soon. Patch your servers now before the PoC come out. What is RPC? The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service is used

As we look across the landscape, we see that cyberattacks continue to succeed in all business sectors. In the cases we have observed, the cyberattack leveraged weak security controls and, as a result, could have been prevented by organizations adopting security best practices. A new study shows that ransomware, phishing, social engineering, denial of service (DoS) attacks, and the business fallout of a data breach rank as the top concerns of global organizations. The recently

Considering today's attack surface's massive and hyper-dimensional nature, we begin to see how challenging it is to manage this attack surface in a modern enterprise. The risk surface of the enterprise is constantly expanding. Threats are finding their way into enterprises, constantly morphing and adapting to network defenses. It is thus a daunting task to bring the vast scope of an organization's enterprise attack surface into focus. Many security leaders lack awareness of a

Flexibility: A virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) can be reached immediately via a simple phone call, whether the vCISO is on or off-site (based on what has been agreed upon). Due to the vCISO’s networking expertise, a vCISO can scale up extremely fast. Additionally, a vCISO can oversee security testing, data protection, and much more, depending on the company's needs. Furthermore, it allows companies to hire a qualified vCISO on a temporary or medium-term bas

Pandora ransomware came into the spotlight in March of 2022 after posting some high-profile victims on its leak site. The ransomware group announced its first victim on Feb 21st, 2022. Their biggest victim was Denso, a car parts manufacturer. After an attack on one of its offices in Germany, Denso confirmed that cybercriminals leaked stolen, classified information from the Japan-based car-components manufacturer. Pandora claims to have exfiltrated 1TB of data from Denso. So w

Incident response is a method for dealing with various forms of security events, cyber threats, and data breaches in an organized manner. The goal of the incident response approach is to identify, contain, eradicate, and reduce the cost of a cyberattack or live event. To be prepared for a future attack, a well-built incident response (IR) plan will be essential in limiting the potential business impacts of an incident. It is critical to address security breaches quickly and e

The purpose of penetration testing is to assess an organization's security posture. Penetration testing encompasses all networks, applications, devices, IT infrastructure, and physical security. The goal is to emulate malicious actions. Cybersecurity experts use penetration testing to enhance a company's cybersecurity posture to identify risks to the business. Why is a Penetration Test Necessary? Companies can perform penetration tests to evaluate the security of their IT in
