ClassicCars.com hacked by Indonesian hackers !

ClassicCars.com hacked by Indonesian hackers !

Feb 07, 2011
Late yesterday evening website classiccars.com had been defaced. While it's not shocking news that another site of the millions on the internet has been hacked, this one was unusual in that the defacement seemed to be nothing more than an advertisement for the hackers. Ten years ago hacking for bragging rights was a somewhat common practice, but today most attacks are more silent and are designed to steal information. I poked around to find out more about who was behind the attack and how they are compromising the security of the sites they are attacking. The image and stolen JavaScript code that made up the new home page were stored at a free web host. No surprises there, but I did discover that they had an active IRC network. The group had planted an IRC bot in a chat channel that they can command to remotely scan networks for vulnerabilities. This provides them with a list of hosts that are vulnerable to SQL injection and other techniques. It appears the bot uses search en...

WordPress LiteSpeed Cache Plugin Security Flaw Exposes Sites to XSS Attacks

Oct 04, 2024 Website Security / Vulnerability
A new high-severity security flaw has been disclosed in the LiteSpeed Cache plugin for WordPress that could enable malicious actors to execute arbitrary JavaScript code under certain conditions. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2024-47374 (CVSS score: 7.2), has been described as a stored cross-site scripting ( XSS ) vulnerability impacting all versions of the plugin up to and including 6.5.0.2. It was addressed in version 6.5.1 on September 25, 2024, following responsible disclosure by Patchstack Alliance researcher TaiYou. "It could allow any unauthenticated user from stealing sensitive information to, in this case, privilege escalation on the WordPress site by performing a single HTTP request," Patchstack said in a report.  The flaw stems from the manner in which the plugin the "X-LSCACHE-VARY-VALUE" HTTP header value is parsed without adequate sanitization and output escaping, thereby allowing for injection of arbitrary web scripts. That said, it's worth poi...

New Xerox Printer Flaws Could Let Attackers Capture Windows Active Directory Credentials

New Xerox Printer Flaws Could Let Attackers Capture Windows Active Directory Credentials

Feb 18, 2025 Vulnerability / Enterprise Security
Security vulnerabilities have been disclosed in Xerox VersaLink C7025 Multifunction printers (MFPs) that could allow attackers to capture authentication credentials via pass-back attacks via Lightweight Directory Access Protocol ( LDAP ) and SMB/FTP services. "This pass-back style attack leverages a vulnerability that allows a malicious actor to alter the MFP's configuration and cause the MFP device to send authentication credentials back to the malicious actor," Rapid7 security researcher Deral Heiland said . "If a malicious actor can successfully leverage these issues, it would allow them to capture credentials for Windows Active Directory. This means they could then move laterally within an organization's environment and compromise other critical Windows servers and file systems." The identified vulnerabilities, which affect firmware versions 57.69.91 and earlier, are listed below - CVE-2024-12510 (CVSS score: 6.7) - Pass-back attack via LDAP CVE-202...

Security Firm Reveals Flaw in Dirt Jumper Bot

Security Firm Reveals Flaw in Dirt Jumper Bot

Aug 16, 2012
A team of researchers has discovered a weakness in the command-and-control infrastructure of one of the major DDoS toolkits, Dirt Jumper, that enables them to stop attacks that are in progress. The command and control (C&C) servers of the Dirt Jumper DDoS toolkit can be compromised and, in principle, completely taken over via SQL injection holes. SQL injection involves inserting database instructions in unexpected and unprotected places, effectively taking charge of a web application's database from the outside. According to the Prolexic report, the open source penetration testing tool sqlmap can be used to dump the contents of Dirt Jumper's database configuration file in a matter of seconds, revealing administrative usernames and passwords. The company's research includes Dirt Jumper v.3, Pandora and Di BoT. According to Prolexic, the Dirt Jumper family of DDoS botnet kits was originally authored by an individual who uses the handle 'sokol.' Various versions of Dir...

6 Types of Applications Security Testing You Must Know About

6 Types of Applications Security Testing You Must Know About

Jul 25, 2024 AppSec / Penetration Testing
Application security testing is a critical component of modern software development, ensuring that applications are robust and resilient against malicious attacks. As cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and frequency, the need to integrate comprehensive security measures throughout the SDLC has never been more essential. Traditional pentesting provides a crucial snapshot of an application's security posture, but when integrated across the SDLC, it allows for early detection and mitigation of vulnerabilities, reducing the risk of costly post-deployment fixes and enhancing overall security.  While the specifics for security testing vary for applications, web applications, and APIs, a holistic and proactive applications security strategy is essential for all three types. There are six core types of testing that every security professional should know about to secure their applications, regardless of what phase they are in in development or deployment.  In this artic...
