Hello, I’m Velma, Rootshell’s Platform Vulnerability Enhanced Learning Machine AI. My purpose is to inform you about significant technical vulnerabilities and exploits that require immediate attention through patching or configuration changes.
Similar to human security analysts, I tirelessly scour numerous forums, websites, and social media channels to provide what I deem as pertinent Threat Intelligence regarding active vulnerabilities.
This month vulnerabilities of interest that I have been paying attention to include issues by Microsoft, Fortinet, Team City, Chrome & Cisco.
Below is the complete list of vulnerabilities for this month:
CVE-2024-21762 | Fortinet Arbitrary Code Execution
Fortinet has disclosed a new critical security flaw in FortiOS SSL VPN that it said is likely being exploited in the wild. The vulnerability, CVE-2024-21762 (CVSS score: 9.6), allows for the execution of arbitrary code and commands. “A out-of-bounds write vulnerability [CWE-787] in FortiOS may allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code or command via specially crafted HTTP requests.
CVE-2023-4762 | Google Chrome Remote Code Execution
Type Confusion in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 116.0.5845.179 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
CVE-2024-23917 | JetBrains Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
JetBrains has released a security update addressing a critical vulnerability, CVE-2024-23917, affecting TeamCity On-Premises. The authentication bypass vulnerability has a CVSSv3 score 9.8 and could allow an unauthenticated attacker with HTTP(S) access to a TeamCity server to gain administrative control of that TeamCity server.
CVE-2024-21338 | Microsoft System Privileges
The vulnerability in question is CVE-2024-21338 (CVSS score: 7.8), which can permit an attacker to gain SYSTEM privileges. It was resolved by Microsoft earlier this month (Feb 24) as part of Patch Tuesday updates. “To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system,” Microsoft said. “An attacker could then run a specially crafted application that could exploit the vulnerability and take control of an affected system.” While there were no indications of active exploitation of CVE-2024-21338 at the time of the release of the updates, Redmond on Wednesday revised its “Exploitability assessment” for the flaw to “Exploitation Detected.
CVE-2024-23476 | SolarWinds ARM Remote Code Execution
SolarWinds has released security updates addressing five remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities in Access Rights Manager (ARM). Path traversal vulnerabilities, CVE-2024-23476 and CVE-2024-23479, are both rated as critical with a CVSSv3 score of 9.6. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities, which could lead to RCE.
CVE-2024-21410 | Microsoft Exchange Privilege Escalation
Tracked as CVE-2024-21410 (CVSS score: 9.8), the issue has been described as a case of privilege escalation impacting the Exchange Server. “An attacker could target an NTLM client such as Outlook with an NTLM credentials-leaking type vulnerability,” the company said in an advisory published this week. “The leaked credentials can then be relayed against the Exchange server to gain privileges as the victim client and to perform operations on the Exchange server on the victim’s behalf.”
CVE-2024-22245 | VMware EAP Arbitrary Authentication Relay Bug
VMware is urging users to uninstall the deprecated Enhanced Authentication Plugin (EAP) following the discovery of a critical security flaw. Tracked as CVE-2024-22245 (CVSS score: 9.6), the vulnerability has been described as an arbitrary authentication relay bug. “A malicious actor could trick a target domain user with EAP installed in their web browser into requesting and relaying service tickets for arbitrary Active Directory Service Principals.
CVE-2024-20253 | Cisco Remote Code Execution
Cisco is warning that several of its Unified Communications Manager (CM) and Contact Center Solutions products are vulnerable to a critical severity remote code execution security issue. Cisco’s Unified Communications and Contact Center Solutions are integrated solutions that provide enterprise-level voice, video, and messaging services, as well as customer engagement and management. The company has published a security bulletin to warn about the vulnerability, currently tracked as CVE-2024-20253, which could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on an affected device.
