Canada’s “secret hacking tactics†exposed in new report
Canada has been using an array of cyberweapons to gather intelligence, spy on other governments and damage adversary infrastructure, says a new report.
The post Canada’s “secret hacking tactics” exposed in new report appeared first on We Live Security.
WordPress InfusionSoft Shell Upload
This Metasploit module exploits an arbitrary PHP code upload in the WordPress Infusionsoft Gravity Forms plugin, versions from 1.5.3 to 1.5.10. The vulnerability allows for arbitrary file upload and remote code execution.
WordPress OptimizePress Theme Shell Upload
This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability found in the the WordPress theme OptimizePress. The vulnerability is due to an insecure file upload on the media-upload.php component, allowing an attacker to upload arbitrary PHP code. This Metasploit module has been tested successfully on OptimizePress 1.45.
WordPress cache_lastpostdate Arbitrary Code Execution
This Metasploit module exploits an arbitrary PHP code execution flaw in the WordPress blogging software. This vulnerability is only present when the PHP ‘register_globals’ option is enabled (common for hosting providers). All versions of WordPress prior to 1.5.1.3 are affected.
WordPress W3 Total Cache PHP Code Execution
This Metasploit module exploits a PHP Code Injection vulnerability against WordPress plugin W3 Total Cache for versions up to and including 0.9.2.8. WP Super Cache 1.2 or older is also reported as vulnerable. The vulnerability is due to the handling of certain macros such as mfunc, which allows arbitrary PHP code injection. A valid post ID is needed in order to add the malicious comment. If the POSTID option isn’t specified, then the module will automatically find or bruteforce one. Also, if anonymous comments aren’t allowed, then a valid username and password must be provided. In addition, the “A comment is held for moderation” option on WordPress must be unchecked for successful exploitation. This Metasploit module has been tested against WordPress 3.5 and W3 Total Cache 0.9.2.3 on a Ubuntu 10.04 system.
WordPress Foxypress uploadify.php Arbitrary Code Execution
This Metasploit module exploits an arbitrary PHP code execution flaw in the WordPress blogging software plugin known as Foxypress. The vulnerability allows for arbitrary file upload and remote code execution via the uploadify.php script. The Foxypress plugin versions 0.4.1.1 to 0.4.2.1 are vulnerable.
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2546-1
Ubuntu Security Notice 2546-1 – A flaw was discovered in the automatic loading of modules in the crypto subsystem of the Linux kernel. A local user could exploit this flaw to load installed kernel modules, increasing the attack surface and potentially using this to gain administrative privileges. A flaw was discovered in the crypto subsystem when screening module names for automatic module loading if the name contained a valid crypto module name, eg. vfat(aes). A local user could exploit this flaw to load installed kernel modules, increasing the attack surface and potentially using this to gain administrative privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.
