New assessment for topic: CVE-2024-0012

Topic description: "An authentication bypass in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an unauthenticated attacker with network access to the management web interface to gain PAN-OS administrator privileges to perform administrative actions, tamper with the configuration, or exploit other authenticated privilege escalation vulnerabilities like CVE-2024-9474 https://security.paloaltonetworks.com/CVE-2024-9474 . ..."

"Based upon writing a [Metasploit exploit module](https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/19663) for this exploit chain, I have rated the exploitability of this as very easy, as a target PAN-OS management interface is vulnerable in a default configuration. ..."

OK this is pretty awesome: thanks to recent advances in machine translation (in large part LLM's), my old blog became magically available English:

We open sourced FastFeedParser, a high performance RSS, Atom and RDF parser in Python: https://github.com/kagisearch/fastfeedparser

This library powers Kagi Small Web (https://github.com/kagisearch/smallweb) and a few other initiatives at Kagi and is 10x-100x faster and more efficient at parsing feeds than existing alternatives!

Vulnerability names: this is log4shell. We named it this way because it's in log4j and gives you shell.

Threat actor names: this is HAIRY EEL, aka VIOLIN HIPPO, no relation to VEXING MACKEREL. Also known as APT-74, formely APT-C-92. We named it this way because he's a guy in Bulgaria

Hello! I've written 22,000+ words on "Safe" C++

If there’s no evidence that this investment is working, shouldn’t we either stop it, or at least increase the ways in which we’re trying to detect it?

But I’m going to go further. There’s few reasons to think that people are unaware of cybersecurity. It seems much more plausible that they’re unaware of what to do (stop clicking links?) or that there’s no clear tie between the things they worry about and the advice they’re getting. Either of those leads to them ignoring advice, or getting annoyed that we’re wasting their time.

Beyond that, we have scarce resources. Without evidence that an awareness month is working, and with good reason to think that it’s not...isn’t it time we stopped and tried something else?

I try to reconstruct the design process of PAN-OS web services:
- Let's require authentication on all interfaces, because security!
- ...but we need some stuff to be accessible pre-auth 🤔
- Let's define a skeleton key that can be passed to us by another parser that have 0 concept of what needs to be authenticated!

Am I missing something?

@wdormann to paraphrase: good software is expensive, but bad software is even more expensive.

@wdormann And still, companies will continue to pay insane money to buy these boxes of high-end engineering.
