The disclosure follows increased scrutiny of identity and access management (IAM) tools, which have become high-value targets for attackers. Gartner analyst Michael Johnson noted, “IAM agents sit at the gateway to enterprise resources. Avulnerabilityhere effectively hands attackers the keys to critical...
Attackers have become more proficient at taking advantage of gaps in security to hide and conceal malicious activity. Flash malware can now interact with JavaScript to help conceal malicious activity, making it much harder to detect and analyze. In 2014, Cisco Security Research observed growth in ...
"The ObjectSerializationDecoder in Apache MINA uses Java's native deserialization protocol to process incoming serialized data but lacks the necessary security checks and defenses," the project maintainers said in an advisory released on December 25, 2024. "This vulnerability allows attackers to ...
Avoid exposing sensitive information in error messages that could aid attackers. Summary Understanding the principles of microservices, communication patterns, and security measures is essential for successful implementation. By embracing this architecture, developers can wield its benefits, such as improved ...
That lax attitude plays right into the hands of attackers, many of whom rely on exploits for older vulnerabilities that are patched in the most-updated version of a plug-in. However, attackers won’t ignore new exploits if they’re available. Lately, researchers have seen exploits for two ne...
After retrieving encrypted data and performing cryptographic attacks on it on a given timeframe, attackers can recover the plaintext that encryption was supposed to protect. Depending on the recovered data, the impact may vary. Below are some real-world scenarios that illustrate the potential impact...
implementations) on the class path can be abused by attackers during the lookup process. Leveraging restrictive deserialization filters (see Guideline 8-6 for more information), disabling LDAP serialization via [27], and more generally following the deserialization guidance covered in Section 8. Guide...
While obtaining policy information does not compromise the security of the system, it does give attackers additional information, such as local file names for example, to better aim an attack. getFileSystemAttributes Retrieval of file system attributes This allows code to obtain file system ...
tells us several things,” they wrote. “One, it helps to confirm that this attack was created in the geographic region assumed. It is unusual for attackers from one country and language, to take lyrics from a popular song in another country and language and embed them in their attacks.”...
Well, passing a sensitive file path should not be considered a problem, because the file path you are searching for would not end up written on the disk. It is however considered dangerous if attackers were to control the input path, because they could be able to list arbitrary directories ...
