![]() ![]() Attacks on healthcare institutions have been well documented and some countries continue to face constant assaults. There was also a change in impacted industries, with healthcare overtaking government as the second most exploited sector in April. This latest campaign follows an extensive report published by Check Point Research (CPR) on the prevalence of IOT attacks. Researchers discovered it was exploiting a new zero-day vulnerability CVE-2023-1380 to attack TP-Link routers and add them to its botnet, which has been used to facilitate some of the most disruptive distributed DDoS attacks on record. Last month also saw the return of Mirai, one of the most popular IoT malwares. Researchers found instances of the malspam being sent in multiple different languages, which means organizations can be targeted worldwide. Once these are downloaded, the Qbot malware is installed on the device. ![]() The Qbot campaign seen last month involves a new delivery method in which targets are sent an email with an attachment that contains protected PDF files. Meanwhile, Internet-of-Things (IoT) malware Mirai made the list for the first time in a year after exploiting a new vulnerability in TP-Link routers, and Healthcare moved up to become the second most exploited industry. Last month, researchers uncovered a substantial Qbot malspam campaign distributed through malicious PDF files attached to emails seen in multiple languages. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions globally, has published its Global Threat Index for April 2023. (This approach is not without its drawbacks pulling in new fixes can also pull in new problems.SAN CARLOS, Calif., (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Check Point ® Software Technologies Ltd. Consumers can get a patched version on the next build after the patch is available, which propagates up the dependencies quickly. Open ranges allow the resolution algorithm to select the most recently released version that satisfies dependency requirements, thereby pulling in new fixes. This practice is in contrast to other ecosystems, such as npm, where it’s common for developers to specify open ranges for dependency requirements. Propagating a fix often requires explicit action by the maintainers to update the dependency requirements to a patched version. In the Java ecosystem, it’s common practice to specify “ soft” version requirements - exact versions that are used by the resolution algorithm if no other version of the same package appears earlier in the dependency graph. This exploitable feature was enabled by default in many versions of the library.Īnother difficulty is caused by ecosystem-level choices in the dependency resolution algorithm and requirement specification conventions. The vulnerabilities allow an attacker to perform remote code execution by exploiting the insecure JNDI lookups feature exposed by the logging library log4j. More than 35,000 Java packages, amounting to over 8% of the Maven Central repository (the most significant Java package repository), have been impacted by the recently disclosed log4j vulnerabilities ( 1, 2), with widespread fallout across the software industry. The linked list, which continues to be updated, only includes packages which depend on log4j-core. 25% of affected packages have fixed versions available. ![]() ![]() The ecosystem impact numbers for just log4j-core, as of 19th December are over 17,000 packages affected, which is roughly 4% of the ecosystem. Since then, the CVE has been updated with the clarification that only log4j-core is affected. The below numbers were calculated based on both log4j-core and log4j-api, as both were listed on the CVE. ![]()
