Bitdefender: Security vulnerability allows privilege escalation in antivirus software

A security vulnerability in Bitefender Free, Internet Security, Total Security, and Endpoint Security allows local attackers to escalate their privileges.

All good stuff ✔️ ✔️ ✔️
However, avoiding G%gul altogether makes a great deal more sense for so many reasons.

It's important to fully patch a new Operating System before you start playing with the OS while being online.

Due to the nature of the distribution your initial patch will be significantly larger than one of standard MX Linux don't be alarmed Kali has a beautiful suite of forensic software, which naturally takes space and also needs to be patched

I love 💕 how Mata Kali is configured by default;

zsh
XCFE
custom Dark Theme
light footprint

Since the powerful zsh is the default shell evironment you will fly over the keyboard, esp as a touch typist with all ten fingers

This one is interesting; the person who founded Blackwater {see Wikipedia} is behind the company which makes the Up phone and uses a former CIA officer to plug the phone

This individual tells you that this phone is fantastic great it's just the most secure phone on the market.

We are on the internet; this is the period of Open large language models making drawings, videos, photos, music based upon petabytes of stolen information

If something sounds and looks too good to be true it usually is

It turns out that this phone is exactly one you should stay away from, if you value your privacy

Increasingly, @signalapp is being criticized by governments and users alike though the only successful compromises have been through bad actors being added to group chats accidentally.

Do NOT follow the narrative that you should move to another chat app if having life-or-death chats. Signal is the ONLY chat app with proper #security for those conversations: #PostQuantumEncryption, #PerfectForwardSecrecy, and a proven track record of privacy in court.

"Fedora Linux 43 will be the first release with RPM 6.0. Like I said, this should go unnoticed to end-users, but it is a significant change. RPM 6.0 provides some interesting security enhancements, like multiple key signing of packages. This should help future-proof package signing as we transition to post-quantum-crypto OpenPGP keys in future releases."

🔐 Post-Quantum & mein PGP-Keygen:

Die OpenPGP-Community standardisiert gerade hybride Schlüssel, die klassische Algorithmen (z. B. Curve25519) mit post-quantum-sicheren Verfahren (Kyber, Dilithium) kombinieren – im IETF-Draft "OpenPGP mit PQC".

Sobald die Standards in OpenPGP.js verfügbar sind (voraussichtlich 2026), werde ich meinen PGP-Keygen aktualisieren, damit ihr hybride Schlüsselpaare erstellen könnt.

Several months ago, I found a #vulnerability from #MantisBT - Authentication bypass for some passwords due to PHP type juggling (CVE-2025-47776).

Any account that has a password that results in a hash that matches ^0+[Ee][0-9]+$ can be logged in with a password that matches that regex as well. For example, password comito5 can be used to log in to the affected accounts and thus gain unauthorised access.

The root cause of this bug is the incorrect use of == to match the password hash:

if( auth_process_plain_password( $p_test_password, $t_password, $t_login_method ) == $t_password )

The fix is to use === for the comparison.

This vulnerability has existed in MantisBT ever since hashed password support was added (read: decades). MantisBT 2.27.2 and later include a fix to this vulnerability. mantisbt.org/download.php

Malware campaign on npm steals AWS, GCP, and Azure cloud keys developer-tech.com/news/malwar… #npm #javascript #devsecops #infosec #malware #cybersecurity


TIL why I can't access release files from open-source projects on GitHub anymore.

It seems that the IP for release-assets.githubusercontent.com got added to ipthreat.net list:

ipthreat.net/ip/185.199.111.13…

Malware is actually being distributed via GitHub, but the majority of repos are probably safe and useful.

By adding the GitHub IPs, the IP threat list becomes unusable. By not-adding them becomes less useful. An interesting dilema.

I guess it's one more reason to migrate your open-source project off GitHub. On the other hand @Codeberg and similar alternatives should take notice and prepare in advance.

New phishing technique - CoPhish - weaponizes Microsoft Copilot Studio to steal Entra ID OAuth tokens.
Attackers build malicious AI agents hosted on legitimate Microsoft domains, exfiltrating tokens via “Login” flows that appear genuine.
Uses OAuth T1528 techniques + token forwarding through Microsoft IPs for stealth.
🛡️ Detection ideas:
- Monitor consent grants in Entra ID logs.
- Restrict unverified app registrations.
- Disable user app creation.
- Flag Copilot bots using trial tenants or untrusted domains.

How are you tuning detections for AI-driven OAuth phishing?

So I went to F-Droid and attempted to download the public transport plugin for Kvaesitso.

And I got a Google Play Protect popup message warning "harmful app detected".

It gave no further details about why this app is harmful.

Does anyone know if this app is harmful? If so how?

Or is this Google being a monopolist and blocking competing open source apps?

Eigentlich wollte das Team Z3 auf der Pwn2Own einen WhatsApp‑Zero‑Click‑Remote‑Code‑Execution‑Zero‑Day demonstrieren. Eine Million Dollar waren als Preisgeld vorgesehen. Aber: Z3 zog sich vom Wettbewerb zurück. Sie wollten die Ergebnisse zunächst den Analysten der ZDI zur Verfügung stellen, bevor das Meta-Team einbezogen wird.

Wer hat Details dazu, wie sich der #GlassWorm via #Unicode versteckt?

Der Wurm ist sehr ausgefeilt, mich interessiert jedoch dieser Aspekt besonders, weil dadurch angeblich auch "normale" Code-Analyser es nicht erkennen, aber der JavaScript-Interpreter es akzeptiert. Das wurde ich mir gerne mit anderen Interpreten und anderen Editoren ansehen.

Perfekt wäre, wenn jemand den Wurm (oder Teile davon) hätte. Ich nehme aber auch detaillierte Beschreibungen, mit denen ich FAS nachstellen könnte.

🦀 I'm excited to announce that I am starting a training firm, @decoderloop, focused on providing Rust Reverse Engineering training! decoderloop.com/

The tools, techniques, and resources that reverse engineers have were built for the era of C. Meanwhile, malware authors and software developers alike are rapidly switching to modern programming languages such as Rust. Decoder Loop is here to fill the knowledge gap and level the playing field, for reverse engineers facing modern binaries.

We hope to come to a conference near you, next year. If you'd like to stay notified on upcoming trainings: follow us at @decoderloop, or sign up on our mailing list at decoderloop.com/contact/#train…

I'll also be at @ringzer0 COUNTERMEASURE on November 7 in Ottawa, Canada, giving a Rust RE focused workshop! Come say hi if you're there, and let's chat Rust RE!

Ich glaube, nachdem nun selbst einige Medien aus dem InfoSec-Bereich die stark nach Humbug riechende SIM-Farm-Geschichte des USSS völlig unkritisch übernommen haben, bin ich wohl gezwungen, den Medienkonsum einiger Medien zu überdenken.

Update mit wichtiger Korrektur zu den betroffenen Versionen!

Sudo vor 1.9.17p1 ermöglicht lokalen Benutzern Root-Zugriff, da /etc/nsswitch.conf aus einem benutzergesteuerten Verzeichnis mit der Option --chroot verwendet wird.

BSI, CISA & andere warnen vor einer kritischen Sicherheitslücke im Linux- und Unix-Dienstprogramm sudo (CVE-2025-32463) .

Diese Schwachstelle ermöglicht es lokalen Angreifern, Zugriffskontrollen zu umgehen und beliebige Befehle als Root-Benutzer auszuführen, auch ohne über explizite sudoers-Rechte zu verfügen.

Prüfen, welche sudo-Variante installiert ist:
sudo -V
ODER
dpkg -l sudo

sudo-Version upgraden:
sudo apt install --only-upgrade sudo

Bis dahin: PC nicht in fremde Hände geben!

@AndyW DANKE!


Fedi Folk: It's not a scam—it's a run of bad luck. And that has again made it a seriously dire situation.

I've known @catbailey & family for years. She is the real deal. There is nothing shady or skivey going on.

Hire Cat! Whether it's an interest in hiring, a referral, or if you know of a job opening or gig that's available, please contact her!

Finding employment in the present environment, especially for women in tech, is more difficult than ever.

Please do help @catbailey out. She is doing her best and then some. She has a family to take care of.

Falls ihr eine heftige Sicherheitslücke bemerkt:

-> Klappe halten, Fenster schließen.

Ihr könnt in den Knast wandern, eure Existenz verlieren, weil die Flaschenfirma und ignorante Richter und Staatsanwälte euch als Verbrecher sehen wollen.

Es reicht, wenn ein Vorhängeschloss angebracht ist.
Ob der Schlüssel steckt und das Schloss offen ist, interessiert keinen.

Selbst ein Klartext-Passwort oder ein Passwort wie 1234 gilt als "wirksamer Schutz" und ihr werdet zum Hacker.

Wer sich für dieses Gesetz bedanken möchte, sollte die Postkarte an Frau Merkel und Frau Zypries adressieren. Herr Schäuble war damals auch treibende Kraft hinter dem Schwachsinn.
