SolarWinds has released fixes to address two security flaws in its Access Rights Manager (ARM) software, including a critical vulnerability that could result in remote code execution. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-28991 , is rated 9.0 out of a maximum of 10.0 on the CVSS scoring system. It has been described as an instance of deserialization of untrusted data. "SolarWinds Access Rights Manager (ARM) was found to be susceptible to a remote code execution vulnerability," the company said in an advisory. "If exploited, this vulnerability would allow an authenticated user to abuse the service, resulting in remote code execution." Security researcher Piotr Bazydlo of the Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) has been credited with discovering and reporting the flaw on May 24, 2024. The ZDI, which has assigned the shortcoming a CVSS score of 9.9, said it exists within a class called JsonSerializationBinder and stems from a lack of proper validation of user...

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has  added  three security flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities ( KEV ) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation. The list of vulnerabilities is below - CVE-2022-35914  (CVSS score: 9.8) - Teclib GLPI Remote Code Execution Vulnerability CVE-2022-33891  (CVSS score: 8.8) - Apache Spark Command Injection Vulnerability CVE-2022-28810  (CVSS score: 6.8) - Zoho ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus Remote Code Execution Vulnerability The most critical of the three is  CVE-2022-35914 , which concerns a remote code execution vulnerability in the third-party library htmlawed present in  Teclib GLPI , an open source asset and IT management software package. The exact specifics surrounding the nature of attacks are unknown, but the Shadowserver Foundation in October 2022  noted  that it has seen exploitation attempts against its honeypots. Since then, a cURL-based one...

Every week seems to bring news of another data breach, and it's no surprise why: securing sensitive data has become harder than ever. And it's not just because companies are dealing with orders of magnitude more data. Data flows and user roles are constantly shifting, and data is stored across multiple technologies and cloud environments. Not to mention, compliance requirements are only getting stricter and more elaborate.  The problem is that while the data landscape has evolved rapidly, the usual strategies for securing that data are stuck in the past. Gone are the days when data lived in predictable places, with access controlled by a chosen few. Today, practically every department in the business needs to use customer data, and AI adoption means huge datasets, and a constant flux of permissions, use cases, and tools. Security teams are struggling to implement effective strategies for securing sensitive data, and a new crop of tools, called data security platforms, have appear...

Just as you were getting comfortable with Windows 7, Windows 8 seems to be on the horizon for the next two years. Celebrating the one-year anniversary of Windows 7— the fastest-selling OS in history—Microsoft's Dutch website briefly mentioned its successor: "Microsoft is on course for the next version of Windows. But it will take about two years before 'Windows 8' hits the market." Winrumors.com translated and captured this post, and CNET took a screenshot of the text, which unsurprisingly disappeared after making headlines. Now, Microsoft is back to being tight-lipped about Windows 8 and its expected release. Reports from last year suggested Microsoft was developing a 128-bit version of its OS, likely to be Windows 8. Recently, NetworkWorld obtained over 15 confidential slide decks detailing possible features, including body-sensing technology similar to the Xbox Kinect, a desktop app store like Apple's forthcoming Mac App Store, near-instant CPU b...
