OpenJPEG JPEG2000 Image Processing Out-of-Bounds Write (CVE-2016-8332)

An out-of-bounds write vulnerability has been discovered in OpenJPEG. The vulnerability is due to a lack of validation on the index values of MCC markers when parsing maliciously crafted JPEG2000 image files. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing a user to open a malicious JPEG file with a vulnerable application. Successful exploitation would result in execution of arbitrary attacker code in the security context of the target user.

WooCommerce Tax Rates Cross-Site Scripting

A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the WooCommerce WordPress plugin. This vulnerability is triggered when the WooCommerce tax rates setting incorrectly processes user-supplied data. A remote attacker may exploit this vulnerability by uploading a malicious .csv file into the application. The file then injects malicious code triggering the attack, thereby allowing the attacker to gain full control of the web server.

MikroTik RouterOS SNMP Security Bypass (CVE-2008-6976)

MikroTik RouterOS is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability because the software fails to sufficiently sanitize SNMP requests. Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to write to and change certain aspects of the Network Management System (NMS). This may aid in further attacks. Versions up to and including RouterOS 3.13 and 2.9.51 are vulnerable.

Netsparker Web Scanner

A reconnaissance tool is designed to gather information from servers. Such scans might indicate an attempt to disclose sensitive information. Remote attackers can use Netsparker to detect vulnerabilities on a target server.
