rpc.py version 0.6.0 suffers from a remote code execution vulnerability.

By Jon Munshaw.  Welcome to this week’s edition of the Threat Source newsletter.  Between the White House’s recent meeting, countless conference talks and report after report warning of cybersecurity burnout, there’s been a ton of talk recently around the cybersecurity skills gap and hiring.  Everyone wants to know the magic ticket to figure out how to increase hiring at their cybersecurity practice without hiring somehow with under-developed skills that could leave clients open to attack. This is not a problem exclusive to cybersecurity, but I do find it interesting that there’s been so much talk about the problems the cybersecurity workforce faces and not much about actual solutions.  I think a good place to start would change the meaning of what an “entry-level” position truly is in security. I came into this field with zero security experience from the domain of journalism. My family considered me to be “a computer guy” just because I was good at searching the internet fo...

A cyber mercenary that "ostensibly sells general security and information analysis services to commercial customers" used several Windows and Adobe zero-day exploits in limited and highly-targeted attacks against European and Central American entities. The company, which Microsoft describes as a private-sector offensive actor (PSOA), is an Austria-based outfit called DSIRF that's linked to the

Microsoft flagged the company's Subzero tool set as on offer to unscrupulous governments and shady business interests.

The fax is dead. Long live the online fax? A new study suggests many healthcare professionals believe that flaws in today’s web security landscape are prompting a return to what’s been deemed an “extr

FileWave's mobile device management (MDM) system has been found vulnerable to two critical security flaws that could be leveraged to carry out remote attacks and seize control of a fleet of devices connected to it. "The vulnerabilities are remotely exploitable and enable an attacker to bypass authentication mechanisms and gain full control over the MDM platform and its managed devices," Claroty

Malicious actors are exploiting a previously unknown security flaw in the open source PrestaShop e-commerce platform to inject malicious skimmer code designed to swipe sensitive information. "Attackers have found a way to use a security vulnerability to carry out arbitrary code execution in servers running PrestaShop websites," the company noted in an advisory published on July 22. PrestaShop is

An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in FileWave before 14.6.3 and 14.7.x before 14.7.2. Exploitation could allow an unauthenticated actor to gain access to the system with the highest authority possible and gain full control over the FileWave platform.
