Most security tooling that fits into a CI/CD pipeline—static analysis (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), and dynamic scanners (DAST)—flags potential issues from patterns and signatures. A flagged pattern shows you where to look; penetration testing is what confirms whether something is actually exploitable. That confirmation has traditionally come from a periodic, out-of-band engagement that runs […]

This is fascinating: The video describes a technique that can reveal where an otherwise unidentifiable recording was made by analyzing its audio for the faint sounds of passing aircraft. The technique is both fascinating and frightening. It works by looking at Doppler curves, which plot the way a plane’s sound changes as it passes overhead because of the Doppler effect. This is the same familiar Doppler effect that causes the frequency of a siren to rise…

In both a 2021 essay and my 2022 book, A Hacker’s Mind, I talk about AIs finding vulnerabilities and exploits—hacking—the legal system. Here’s some demonstrations of this from Germany: Legal systems encode the foundations of social order in natural language. Similar to computer systems, the written law can contain vulnerabilities that invite exploitation.1 Courts absorb most exploits through interpretation, and such vulnerabilities rarely surface in the…

Interesting research: “AI Models Can Provably Hide Arbitrary Capabilities” Abstract: Capability evaluations aim to surface dangerous model behaviors before deployment, but their reliability depends on the assumption that hidden capabilities can be elicited. We show this assumption does not hold under adversarial conditions by constructing backdoor attacks that embed encrypted neural networks within host model weights, decrypting and executing them only…

Interesting research: TL;DR: Chinese AI models now sit inside Western products, and some carry geopolitical triggers: tell the model who the code is for, and the security of what it writes changes. For the first time, we showed that this vulnerability lives in the model’s weights, and that removing the model’s CCP alignment removes it. One word tilts the code against Americans. Ask for the app “for a US defense contractor” instead of “for a Chinese…

Posted by Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure on Nov 04 The Apache Struts2 Tiles plugin version <=7.4.0 (and >=6.3.0) codebase includes a `ViewPreparer` construct, replete with multiple ViewPreparer factories, that contains several important vulnerabilities including unsynchronised, unbounded caches. The lack of proper synchronisation means that certain factories will create caches that race, risking lost cache entries, corrupted internal bucket states under…

Posted by Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure on Nov 04 unixODBC versions <=2.3.14 contain a rude truncation of a 64-bit `SQLLEN` `buffer_length` to a 32-bit `int` without verifying that it produces a valid, positive value. The result is later passed to `memcpy`, causing the information system to crash or, if carefully chosen, enabling attackers to write adjacent memory under certain circumstances (e.g., a buffer length that wraps to a small positive integer…

Posted by Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure on Nov 04 The unixODBC driver manager library contains multiple races of importance / interest, including a set of data races in the connection-pooling configuration state data that can cause one thread to read a half-written pool-size or timeout value, which can lead to a variety of harmful effects, as well as a race between teardown and error-handling functionality that can result in double-frees and…

Posted by Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure on Nov 04 unixODBC versions 2.3.14 and below contain multiple heap buffer overflows, underflows, and over-reads.

Posted by Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure on Nov 01 Description Apache Struts2 Core version 7.4.0 and below attempt to prevent arbitrary code execution via Object-Graph Navigation Language (OGNL) through several different mechanisms but only in a cursory fashion -- the libraries only guard against immediate calls evaluated by the OGNL engine via `SecurityMemberAccess`, but an allowed call that, instead, accepts nested arguments and, itself, invokes…

Posted by Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure on Nov 01 Description The Apache Struts2 Core 7.4.0 and below performs session token comparisons cryptographically insecure early-exit comparison functions (e.g., `!=`, `memcmp`, byte-by-byte loops with `break`) that return as soon as the first mismatched byte is encountered. The execution time of the comparison is therefore proportional to the number of leading bytes that match, creating a measurable timing…

Posted by Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure on Nov 01 Description The Apache Struts2 Spring Plugin opens a Spring `ApplicationContex` via a try-with-resources block and, outside of said block, then continues to use the closed resource, resulting in an uncaught `IllegalStateException`.

Posted by Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure on Nov 01 Description Apache Struts2 Core version 7.4.0 and below fails to properly prevent integer overflows, causing wrap-arounds and other issues on a downstream forced casting into types smaller than `BigInteger`.

Posted by Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure on Nov 01 Description The Apache Struts2 REST Plugin's (version 7.4.0 and below) `ContentTypeInterceptor.intercept(ActionInvocation)` only deserialises a request body and enforces the `struts.rest.content.maxLength` bound when `HttpServletRequest#getContentLength()` returns a positive value. `getContentLength()` returns `-1` whenever the `Content-Length` header is absent, which normal and appropriate for any…

Posted by Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure on Nov 01 Description The Apache Struts2 REST Plugin's `DefaultContentTypeHandlerManager.getHandlerForResponse(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse)` splits the `Accept` header on commas and passes each resulting token directly to `findHandler(String)` without trimming leading or trailing whitespace. `findHandler(String)` only retries a trimmed lookup when a token contains a semicolon (`;`), so a token that…

Posted by Jeffrey Walton on Nov 05 One general comment that does not fit well into most of the discussions around sshole... The practice of using a single character "*", or a shorter string of random characters so hashes do not match, likely provides the conditions for a side channel or timing attack. Usually, the crypto routines should be near-constant time as possible.* Short-circuiting due to mismatched string lengths certainly provides the side…

Posted by Matt Johnston on Nov 05 Prior to ~2019 when the OpenSSH change was made, Debian would have shown a different manpage that only documents NULL for error [1]. Changing system APIs is problematic! https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/crypt.3.html#RETURN_VALUE On success, a pointer to the hashed password is returned. On error, NULL is returned. Cheers, Matt [1]…

Posted by Michael Orlitzky on Nov 05 The PORTABILITY NOTES go on to say, The behavior of crypt on errors isn't well standardized. Some implementations simply can't fail (except by crashing the program), others return a null pointer or a fixed string. Most implementations don't set errno, but some do. POSIX specifies returning a null pointer and setting errno, but it defines only one possible error, ENOSYS, in the case where crypt is not supported at…

Posted by Vincent Lefevre on Nov 05 Perhaps, but in any case, it is up to the application to check error conditions, in particular that the result contains only valid characters.

Posted by lists on Nov 05 If an error string is output does not : or multiple :: better express the aim of never seeing this as field content (because it is field separator) ?

Posted by Vincent Lefevre on Nov 05 This is not clear. Under Debian, the crypt(3) man page says: Upon error, crypt_r, crypt_rn, and crypt_ra write an invalid hash to the output field of their data argument, and crypt writes an invalid hash to its static storage area. This string will be shorter than 13 characters, will begin with a ‘*’, and will not compare equal to setting. So it seems that "*" could be a valid result in case of error.
