Our security researchers recently found that 30% of all attacks against web applications target security misconfigurations. Get a breakdown of our recent web application Threat Spotlight in this Betanews, Inc. article https://bit.ly/48s4Oo1 #ApplicationSecurity

The term #FatClients refers to desktop applications which, unlike web applications, are installed on the user's local end device. #Vulnerabilities in such applications can give attackers access to the server-side business logic of a user's entire application landscape - including all of the data stored there. In our news blog we take a look at the vulnerabilities that our security analysts repeatedly encounter in their #pentests of fat clients and give tips on how to avoid them. #Pentest #Penetrationtest #CyberSecurity #ThickClient #moresecurity

Web Servers at Risk of DoS Attacks by Threat Actors Cyber security researchers have discovered a loophole in HTTP/2 protocol, potentially aiding denial-of-service attacks. According to the report, the vulnerability originates from improper sanitation of the amount of CONTINUATION frames sent within a single stream. Further details revealed "An attacker that can send packets to a target server can send a stream of CONTINUATION frames that will not be appended to the header list in memory but will still be processed and decoded by the server or will be appended to the header list, causing an out of memory (OOM) crash." HTTP 2/CONTINUATION Flood is the code name for the security vulnerability.   The Cactus ransomware group recently attacked McAlvain, a company providing design/build, construction management, general contraction, structural concrete, and architectural concrete. The attack exposed 175 GB of data. McAlvain has over 500 employees and a revenue of $199 million.   Ivanti Moves to Strengthen Security with Four New Security Patches To reassure customers of their security, Ivanti, which has been in the news since the beginning of this year due to one security issue, has addressed four flaws (listed in the later part of this report) with the ability to cause a DoS.  Despite the possibility of the flaws resulting in malicious code execution and denial-of-service (DoS), the company has issued a statement denying the awareness of customer exploitation due to the security flaw. CVE-2024-21894, with a CVSS score of 8.2, is an overflow vulnerability in the IPSec component of Ivanti Connect Secure (9.x, 22.x) and Ivanti Policy Secure.  CVE-2024-22052, with a CVSS score of 7.5, is a null pointer dereference vulnerability in the IPSec component of Ivanti Connect Secure (9.x, 22.x) and Ivanti Policy Secure. CVE-2024-22053 (CVSS score: 8.2) is a heap overflow vulnerability in the IPSec component of Ivanti Connect Secure (9.x, 22.x) and Ivanti Policy Secure. CVE-2024-22023 (CVSS score: 5.3) - An XML entity expansion or XEE vulnerability in the SAML component of Ivanti Connect Secure (9.x, 22.x) and Ivanti Policy Secure allows an unauthenticated attacker to send specially crafted XML requests to cause resource exhaustion thereby resulting in a limited-time DoS temporarily.   Incransom ransomware group attacked Remitano, a cryptocurrency company specializing in Bitcoin, Trading, Escrow, Finance, Swap, AltCoin, P2P, Blockchain, Cryptocurrency Exchange, Fintech, Cryptocurrency, and Trading Platform. The company has over 200 employees and a revenue of $5.3 million.   https://lnkd.in/eA-3xM8D #DarkWeb #CyberSecurity #cyberattack #Password #AI #Hacked #Thesecuritybench #cyberattacks #ArtificialIntelligence #DataSecurity

🔍 Insight into #CSPT2CSRF: Benefits and Concerns 🔍 The recent discussion on CSPT2CSRF presents both promising advancements and significant concerns in web security. Benefits: - Enhanced Security Measures: The introduction of CSPT2CSRF offers new techniques to bolster defenses against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks, improving overall web security. - Proactive Threat Mitigation: By addressing potential vulnerabilities at a deeper level, this approach helps in proactively safeguarding applications against sophisticated threats. Concerns: - Implementation Complexity: Integrating CSPT2CSRF can be complex, requiring extensive changes to existing security frameworks and thorough testing to ensure compatibility. - Performance Impact: The added security measures might introduce performance overhead, which could affect the user experience if not managed properly. #Cybersecurity #WebSecurity #CSPT2CSRF #CSRF #ThreatMitigation #SecurityAdvancements For a detailed analysis, check out the full article by Maxence Schmitt of Doyensec:

As web applications become more complex and integral to business operations, they also become prime targets for cybercriminals. That's why understanding and testing for the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities is crucial. “With each code update, infrastructure change, or new feature addition, potential security gaps can emerge. Continuous vigilance is essential, and that is only possible with regular tests that go beyond the annual pen tests that many companies perform as a box-ticking exercise.” Regular security testing is essential to stay ahead of evolving threats. It's not just about knowing the vulnerabilities but actively testing for them on an ongoing basis. BleepingComputer takes a deep dive into the OWASP Top 10 and advises on how to test your web applications for susceptibility to these security risks.
