Microsoft: "we had one #PatchTuesday yes, but what about second Patch Tuesday?"

• CVE-2024-49053 (7.6 high) Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Spoofing Vulnerability
• CVE-2024-49035 (8.7 high) Partner.Microsoft.Com Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability (EXPLOITATION DETECTED FLAG)
• CVE-2024-49038 (9.3 critical) Microsoft Copilot Studio Elevation Of Privilege Vulnerability
• CVE-2024-49052 (8.2 high) Microsoft Azure PolicyWatch Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Only CVE-2024-49053 has any substantial information in their FAQ section. CVE-2024-49035 is "not exploited" but "exploitation detected" 🤔 (analyst comment: likely a gaffe). The rest are Not Exploited, Not Publicly Disclosed, and Exploitation Less Likely.

Splunk security advisories since apparently they missed #PatchTuesday and everyone wants to push to prod before Thanksgiving:

• SVD-2024-1102 Third-Party Package Updates in Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit - November 2024 (3 CVEs)

No mention of exploitation.

XBOW found a path traversal vulnerability (CVE-2024-53844) in LabsAI's EDDI project that allows attackers to download any file on the server. XBOW combined a series of URL encodings and path normalization bypasses to trigger the flaw. Users of versions 4.3–5.3 should upgrade.

Since my previous PSA got so popular, here's a fun fact:

Defects-in-Depth: Analyzing the Integration of Effective Defenses against One-Day Exploits in Android Kernels

An outstanding paper by Lukas Maar et al. about analyzing the exploitation techniques used in public 1-day Android kernel exploits over the last few years and cross-referencing them with the mitigations implemented by various Android vendors 🔥

@fink @gergelykalman @lapcatsoftware @thezdi Oh and let's not forget Project Zero (data is open on their tracker and maybe they had some stats too?)

@fink @gergelykalman @lapcatsoftware I remember @thezdi and maybe Microsoft publishing similar info from their programs (ZDI handles multiple vendors), but have no links unfortunately.

I want to level-up my jump roping and apparently I clicked a Reddit link while searching for tips.

Now instead of the absolutely braindead topics that come up based on geoloation (is the average Hungarian Internet user really this shallow??) I get awesome jumprope vids and tips!

Thx #adtech!

I don't know if this is known but last week I found out that giving a user the #Windows OOBE experience can be abused for privilege escalation.

Scenario: A company gives a new employee his computer and lets him do the first login. During the #Windows OOBE, he presses SHIFT+F10 and opens CMD.

Since this CMD runs as SYSTEM, he installs a custom CA certificate via certutil, places 'WptsExtensions.dll' into System32, and creates a new local backdoor admin user.

Once the #Microsoft OOBE and/or #Intune setup is complete, only the local backdoor admin user will be deleted. The certificate and DLL still remain. A reboot is enough to trigger the DLL being loaded as SYSTEM.

The third-party cert could be detected using sigcheck, but that's a little hacky...

Does anyone know a fix for this? I've not found anything inside #Intune that would kill this vector.

Bad idea: build a captcha library that embeds DOSBox so it can make you beat levels/puzzles from DOS games to continue.
