A significant vulnerability (CVE-2024-41110) was recently discovered in Docker Engine version 18.09.1.Although the issue was identified and fixed in 2019, the patch did not apply to other major versions, resulting in regression. The vulnerability was assigned a CVSS score of 10 (critical).

Multiple Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerabilities in REDCap (CVE-2024-37394, CVE-2024-37395, and CVE-2024-37396)

Trustwave SpiderLabs uncovered multiple stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-37394, CVE-2024-37395, and CVE-2024-37396) in REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture), a widely used web application for building and managing online surveys and databases in research environments. These vulnerabilities, if exploited, could allow attackers to execute malicious JavaScript code in victims' browsers, potentially compromising sensitive data.

How to setup PGP Keys for Encrypted Email

In today's world, electronic mails (e-mails) serve as a medium of both official and personal correspondence. With sensitive information being shared online, it's essential to secure your emails. Pretty Good Privacy (PGP), a robust encryption program, offers a reliable solution for securing the contents of your emails. Developed by Phil Zimmermann in 1991, PGP utilizes public-key cryptography to ensure both confidentiality and authenticity in email exchanges.

Java, JavaScript, .NET: Which Has the Riskiest Security Debt?

In the realm of secure software development, managing security debt is crucial. The following data highlights a concerning trend in the accumulation of critical security debt, particularly in the popular programming languages of Java, JavaScript, and.NET. Let’s dive into this new research and explore options for managing the prioritization dilemma we’re seeing.

Malicious Inauthentic Falcon Crash Reporter Installer Delivers LLVM-Based Mythic C2 Agent Named Ciro

On July 24, 2024, an unattributed threat actor distributed a password-protected installer masquerading as an inauthentic Falcon Crash Reporter Installer to a German entity in an unattributed spear-phishing attempt. Subsequent analysis revealed that executing the installer with the threat actor-provided password leads to a novel execution chain in which an agent written to the Mythic command-and-control (C2)1 framework is executed as LLVM Intermediate Representation (IR) bitcode.

Dark web monitoring as your early warning system for insider threats

According to the 2023 Insider Threat Report by Cybersecurity Insiders, 74% of organizations are at least moderately vulnerable to insider threats. This statistic underscores a critical issue: Insider threats are notoriously difficult to detect because they originate from individuals with authorized access and intimate knowledge of your systems. While traditional security measures focus on external threats, they often fall short when it comes to spotting insider threats.

NetBT NodeType Configuration for Hardening

NetBT (NetBIOS over TCP/IP) is a network protocol used to integrate NetBIOS services into the TCP/IP protocol suite. NetBT settings are specific to each interface and include the NetbiosOptions setting and the NameServerList. These settings can be configured individually for each interface using the answer file. NetBT is essential for integrating legacy systems, enabling older applications and devices that rely on NetBIOS to communicate seamlessly with modern TCP/IP networks.
