Supply Chain Attack on WordPress.org Plugins Leads to 5 Maliciously Compromised WordPress Plugins
On Monday June 24th, 2024 the Wordfence Threat Intelligence team became aware of a plugin, Social Warfare, that was injected with malicious code on June 22, 2024 based on a forum post by the WordPress.org Plugin Review team. [..] We then reached out to the WordPress plugins team to alert them about the four additional plugins but have not yet received a response, though it appears the plugins have been delisted. [..] At this stage, we know that the injected malware attempts to create a new administrative user account and then sends those details back to the attacker-controlled server.

XZ backdoor: Hook analysis
In our first article on the XZ backdoor, we analyzed its code from initial infection to the function hooking it performs. As we mentioned then, its initial goal was to successfully hook one of the functions related to RSA key manipulation. In this article, we will focus on the backdoor-s behavior inside OpenSSH, specifically OpenSSH portable version 9.7p1 - the most recent version at this time.

Deye Wechselrichter: Cloud Account zeigt fremde Anlagen-/Kundendaten an
In deutschen Objekten dürften einige Balkonkraftwerke und auch fest installierte Solaranlagen arbeiten, bei denen Wechselrichter des chinesischen Herstellers Deye verwendet werden. [..] Ein Leser hat mich bereits im Mai 2024 mit einem anderen Problem konfrontiert. Er konnte die Anlagendaten einer ihm komplett unbekannten Person einsehen. [..] Der Leser hat die deutsche Dependance kontaktiert [..] Die Reaktion hat den Leser erstaunt, denn als er den Hersteller auf den Bug hinwies, habe dieser das bezweifelt. [..] Generöser Weise bot Deye dem Betroffenen an, zu helfen, die zweite Anlage aus dem Benutzerkonto auszutragen.

Vulnerabilities
Multiple Vulnerabilities allowing complete bypass in Faronics WINSelect (Standard + Enterprise)
The product WINSelect from Faronics is used to restrict the possible actions of users on a system and can even be used to implement a Kiosk mode. Due to hardcoded credentials and an unfitting application architecture an attacker could decrypt the configuration file and retrieve the password which is used to configure the software. Thus, an attacker could completely disable the software. [..] The vendor provides a patched version 8.30.xx.903 since May 2024 [..] Since the hardcoded password for the encryption is not fixed, we ask if this will be addressed as well. Vendor responds that this will be addressed in a future release.
