Citrix Faces New RCE Threats with Zero-Day Vulnerabilities

New security flaws in Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop could allow unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) due to misconfigured MSMQ permissions and the use of BinaryFormatter for deserialization. The vulnerabilities, CVE-2024-8068 and CVE-2024-8069, require attackers to be authenticated users within the same Windows Active Directory domain. Citrix has released patches for affected versions, and Microsoft advises against using BinaryFormatter due to its security risks.

"45k Jenkins Servers at Risk of Remote Code Execution Attacks"

Approximately 45,000 Jenkins servers are vulnerable to a critical remote code execution (RCE) flaw, CVE-2024-23897, due to a feature that allows attackers to read arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller's file system. Multiple public proof-of-concept exploits are in circulation, dramatically elevating the risk for unpatched Jenkins servers. The exposure heatmap indicates a massive attack surface, with most vulnerable instances in China and the United States. Administrators are urged to apply security updates immediately or consult the Jenkins security bulletin for mitigation recommendations and potential workarounds.

"Urgent Patch Released for Critical Jenkins RCE Vulnerability"

Multiple proof-of-concept exploits have been released for a critical Jenkins vulnerability, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files and execute arbitrary CLI commands. SonarSource researchers discovered two flaws, one enabling data access and the other allowing arbitrary command execution. Jenkins has released fixes for the flaws, but researchers have already reproduced attack scenarios and created working PoC exploits, with reports of hackers actively exploiting the vulnerabilities in the wild.

"Urgent Patch Required for Critical Jenkins Vulnerability"

Jenkins has resolved nine security flaws, including a critical bug (CVE-2024-23897) that could lead to remote code execution (RCE) through its built-in command line interface (CLI). Attackers could exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller file system, potentially leading to various attacks. The flaw has been fixed in Jenkins 2.442, LTS 2.426.3, and a short-term workaround is recommended until the patch can be applied. This comes after Jenkins addressed severe security vulnerabilities last year.

"Massive SonicWall Firewall Vulnerability Exposes 178K Devices to DoS and RCE Attacks"

Over 178,000 SonicWall next-generation firewalls with exposed management interfaces are vulnerable to denial-of-service (DoS) and potential remote code execution (RCE) attacks due to two security flaws. Attackers can exploit these vulnerabilities to force the appliances into maintenance mode, disrupting corporate networks' VPN access. Admins are urged to ensure the management interface is not exposed online and to promptly update to the latest firmware versions. SonicWall's history includes being targeted in cyber-espionage attacks and by ransomware gangs, making these vulnerabilities a significant concern for over 500,000 exposed appliances worldwide.

Ivanti VPN Zero-Day Exploits: State-Sponsored Hackers at Work

Hackers are actively exploiting two critical zero-day vulnerabilities in Ivanti Connect Secure, a widely used VPN appliance, to bypass two-factor authentication and execute malicious code inside networks. The vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2023-46805 and CVE-2024-21887, allow attackers to run commands on the system, steal configuration data, modify files, and gain unfettered access to systems on the network. The attacks are attributed to a threat actor suspected to be a Chinese nation-state-level actor, and there are approximately 15,000 affected Ivanti appliances exposed to the Internet. Organizations using Ivanti Connect Secure are urged to take immediate action to mitigate the vulnerabilities.
