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.

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 🔥

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!

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

Prove you're a human! Beat Lifewater Oasis from Commander Keen 4! Defeat the Yeti in Kings Quest 5! Make sure 15 lemmings survive! Get the sword in Prince of Persia!

I discovered a certificate using a "public private key", in this case a key that is part of OpenSSL's test suite. This would not necessarily be a particularly interesting event. It happens every now and then that people use private keys they find on the Internet, likely due to a lack of understanding of public key cryptography. I usually report them for revocation, and move on. However, this one is a bit more unusual. It has been issued by the CA Digicert - for a domain owned by Digicert. https://groups.google.com/a/mozilla.org/g/dev-security-policy/c/d21mtDJ7YXQ
