In the course of a major research rollout like my recent whitepaper on KEV vulnerabilities, I frequently end up doing some bit of analysis that doesn’t make it into the final doc. Usually, it is because I am dealing with limited space and attention spans, and I gotta stop sometime. The stuff that gets cut is usually not terribly compelling or surprising or is maybe more an artifact of the particular bias in our sample or is only interesting to a very small audience.

During a recent customer engagement, the CyberArk Red Team discovered and exploited an Elevation of Privilege (EoP) vulnerability (CVE-2024-39708) in Delinea Privilege Manager (formerly Thycotic Privilege Manager). This vulnerability allowed an unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM. CyberArk responsibly disclosed this vulnerability to Delinea, including the exploit proof of concept (POC) code, as part of our commitment to contributing to the security community.

This story starts when Sébastien Lorber, maintainer of Docusaurus, the React-based open-source documentation project, notices a Pull Request change to the package manifest. Here’s the change proposed to the popular cliui npm package: Specifically, drawing our attention to the npm dependencies change that use an unfamiliar syntax: Most developers would expect to see a semver version range in the value of a package or perhaps a Git or file-based URL.

OpenSSH server is currently exposed to a dangerous vulnerability that, if exploited, could grant cybercriminals full system access without user interaction. This post provides an overview of CVE-2024-6387 and suggests remediation responses to mitigate its impact.

The goal of every vulnerability management program is to reduce the risk posed by vulnerabilities that exist in the organization’s environments. You can achieve this goal in two ways. The first is to move faster, remediating vulnerabilities faster than they can arise. The problem with this approach is that it doesn’t work. It is inefficient, expensive, and impractical. There are simply too many vulnerabilities.

A new Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability has been discovered in PowerAdmin. This vulnerability poses a significant risk, potentially compromising user data and disrupting the designated functionality across roles.

On July 10, 2024, GitLab issued an advisory regarding a critical vulnerability (CVE-2024-6385) in GitLab CE/EE that had been reported to them through a bug bounty program. This vulnerability allows a threat actor to trigger a GitLab pipeline as another user under certain circumstances. A GitLab pipeline is a collection of automated processes that run in stages to build, test, and deploy code.
