Over Security

Attackers have quite a few sneaky ways to gather information from your WordPress website. They can get their hands on details like the WordPress version you're using, the active plugins and their versions, and even info about your active users. In this article, we'll take a deep dive into the technical side of things and uncover how these attackers pull it off. We'll also demystify the popular tool, WPScan, and see what's going on under the hood. Armed with this knowledge, you'll be able to stre

OT (Operational Technology) consists of in a complex network of ICS (industrial control system). The ICS describes several types of control systems and associated instrumentation used for industrial process control. It includes systems like PLC (Programmable logic controller) , HMI (Human machine interface), DCS (Distributed control system) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition). In the ICS world we can insert all kind of device that are not like related to a process control

TL;DR If you open an email and see a QR code and some pressing message about something you’re supposed to do, doubt the source of the email. Microsoft won’t ask you to “verify the security of your account” via QR code. Neither will Google, nor Amazon, nor the vast majority of other service providers. This is the usual recommendation you’ve read 200 times already, but still: when in doubt, involve your IT and verify things before taking action. Disclaimer This blog post doesn’t intend

TL;DR both ModSecurity v2 and v3 share a similar bug that can result in a really simple WAF bypass. The bug in the v3 branch has been fixed in version 3.0.12 and has been assigned the CVE number CVE-2024-1019. However, the bug in the v2 line remains unfixed. The core issue lies in ModSecurity's implicit URL-decode behavior before setting certain variables, which not only represents an unwanted behavior but is also totally undocumented. This behavior can lead both v2 and v3 users to really easy W

TL;DR: Basically, if a target website is protected by a WAF using the OWASP Core Rule Set or Comodo Rule Set or Atomicorp Rule Set, you can send the string ORA-1234 or OracleDrive or ASL-CONFIG-FILE in a comment, product review, registration form, e-commerce order details, etc... to prevent the website from showing its content to any users like a Denial of Service with a minimal effort. This happens because the overly inclusive response rules of the WAF try to prevent SQL error leakage or web sh

Medical devices, ranging from pacemakers to infusion pumps, have traditionally been designed with a singular purpose: to improve patient care and outcomes. Yet, as these devices become more interconnected through the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), the cybersecurity landscape surrounding them has grown increasingly complex.  In the Healthcare landscape there are also the Medical “related things” that means all types of devices, web portals, etc that contains all patient data and can be used

A new cyber-criminal group known as Hunt3r Kill3rs has recently emerged, claiming responsibility for a series of attacks on critical infrastructure with the final political goal of attacking Israeli companies and Israeli allies. This group has primarily focused on industrial control systems (ICS), communication networks, and vulnerable web applications. Their activities represent a significant threat to the stability and security of various operational technology (OT) systems. Based on their Te

TL;DR: Basically, all multipart/form-data parsers fail to fully comply with the RFC, and when it comes to validating filenames or content uploaded by users, there are always numerous ways to bypass validation. We'll test various bypass techniques against PHP, Node.js, and Python parsers, as well as popular WAFs and load balancers like HAProxy, FortiWeb, Barracuda, and even some OpenResty Lua multipart parsers. Months ago, on our Octofence WAAP project, we decided to move away from our old WAF e

What if you could influence an LLM's output not by breaking its rules, but by bending its probabilities? In this deep-dive, we explore how small changes in user input (down to a single token) can shift the balance between “true” and “false”, triggering radically different completions.

Multiple vulnerabilities in vtenext 25.02 and prior versions allow unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication through three separate vectors, ultimately leading to remote code execution on the underlying server.

Earlier this year, our CTI team set out to build something we'd been thinking about for a while: a phishing intelligence pipeline that could actually keep up with the threat. We combined feeds from hundreds of independent sources with our own real-time hunt for suspicious SSL/TLS certificates. The goal was simple: get better visibility into what attackers are actually doing, not what they were doing six months ago. Last quarter's numbers hit harder than we expected: 42,000+ validated URLs and d

For many of our e-commerce customers the problem of bad bots it's a everyday problem and has evolved a lot in the last few years. A common approach is to "block" automated traffic with a JavaScript challenge, basically a small script that the browser must execute to prove it is a real client... Yes, this works well against primitive scrapers, but it no longer stops modern bot based on real browsers and human-like gestures. Tools like Selenium, Puppeteer, and Playwright can execute the challenge
