Cyber incidents appear to have no long term impact ;-)
We have observed D-Link NAS CVE-2024-10914 /cgi-bin/account_mgr.cgi command injection exploitation attempts starting Nov 12th. This vuln affects EOL/EOS devices, which should be removed from the Internet: https://supportannouncement.us.dlink.com/security/publication.aspx?name=SAP10413
We see ~1100 exposed.
We share IP data on exposed D-Link NAS instances for your network/constituency in our Device ID reports (vendor D-Link, type: nas): https://shadowserver.org/what-we-do/network-reporting/device-identification-report/

Happy #PatchTuesday on a Wednesday from Palo Alto Networks:
"Palo Alto Networks is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this issue." RE:CVE-2024-9472: "However, customers have reported encountering this issue during normal operations."
Another big step towards becoming a security boundary: today weโre expanding the VRP for the V8 Sandbox
* No longer limited to d8
* Rewards for controlled writes are increased to $20k
* Any memory corruption outside the sandbox is now in scope
See https://bughunters.google.com/about/rules/chrome-friends/5745167867576320/chrome-vulnerability-reward-program-rules#v8-sandbox-bypass-rewards for more details.
Happy hacking!
Thrilled to share my BlueHat keynote is now live! ๐ค

Heads up: that viral "backdoor attempt" against multiple GitHub repos is a smear campaign. The lame code that was submitted is also a part of it since it's there to paint a picture of someone with very little offensive skills. Don't fall for the bait
GitLab security advisory: GitLab Patch Release: 17.5.2, 17.4.4, 17.3.7
No mention of exploitation.

A lot of people think Apple Silicon Macs can boot from external storage, and Apple themselves go to great lengths to pretend they can.
However, the iBoot bootloader does not have USB or Thunderbolt drivers at all, and absolutely cannot boot from external storage in any way, shape, or form.
But they're cheating.
When you "select" an external volume to "boot" from, whether from macOS or recoveryOS or the Boot Picker (which is just recoveryOS, which is just macOS), the fully booted OS with full access to external storage will copy the bootloader, firmware, and OS kernel to internal storage, then configure the machine to boot off of THAT. Then the bootloader is still just booting off of internal storage.
You can see this if you set up "external" boot, then try to power on the machine without the disk connected. The progress bar will appear below the Apple logo, and that progress bar is drawn by the macOS kernel, which proves macOS is already running, even though supposedly you removed the disk it's booting from. It only times out and fails a few seconds later when it can't find the external disk to mount the root filesystem from.
BTW, the only blocker for supporting the same exact mechanism for USB boot in Asahi Linux is that m1n1 does not have USB drivers either, which it needs to chain off stage 2 from USB. So if anyone wants to help out and write a bare-metal xHCI USB stack with enough support for hubs and mass storage devices in Rust... ;-)

I am going to talk at German OWASP Day in Leipzig today and I just learned it will be live streamed.
Tune in if you want to learn about cross-site leaks at 5pm CET (9am US Pacific). There's lots of other interesting stuff before me. The event has already started ๐ https://streaming.media.ccc.de/god2024
