Researchers said the vulnerabilities, which attackers are chaining together, were first exploited three weeks before the vendor disclosed and patched the defects. The post SonicWall customers under threat as attackers exploit 2 zero-days appeared first on CyberScoop.

GreatXML bypasses BitLocker via Defender offline scan artifacts, giving SYSTEM shell in Recovery Mode. No patch exists. Any machine that ran an offline scan is vulnerable. On June 10, security researcher Chaotic Eclipse (aka Nightmare Eclipse) published a new working exploit dubbed GreatXML that bypasses BitLocker and opens a command shell with full SYSTEM privileges […]

Google Says Criminals Used AI to Discover and Code ExploitA cybercriminal group came close to launching a mass attack earlier this year, armed with a software exploit that an AI model had built from scratch, said Google researchers. Google said it worked with the affected vendor to patch the flaw before an attack could be launched.

AI Tool Used to Discover Bugs, Which Included 2 Maximum Severity VulnerabilitiesResearchers at security firm AISLE said they recently identified 38 vulnerabilities, including two maximum-severity zero-day flaws in OpenEMR, an open-source electronic medical record software platform used by about 100,000 healthcare providers globally. OpenEMR has patched the problems.

Unpatched Flaw in Open-Source Gogs Service Facilitates Remote Code ExecutionAn attacker has been exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in Gogs, an open-source and popular Git service that allows for self-hosting, warned researchers. At least 700 internet-exposed servers running Gogs shows signs of being infected with command-and-control malware; no patch is yet available.

Flaw Enabled Remote Code Execution, Say AWS ResearchersResearchers from AWS said they spotted a hacking campaign taking advantage of a zero-day vulnerability in Cisco network access control software before the routing giant patched it earlier this year. The flaw let attackers perform pre-authentication remote code execution.

No Patch Yet Available for Second Zero Day to Be Recently Found in VoIP SoftwareSecurity researchers warn of a newly discovered zero-day vulnerability in widely used VoIP telephony software, a discovery that comes as the United States struggles to evict Chinese nation-state hackers from telecom networks. The software is the MiCollab software suite from Canada-based Mitel.

Cybersecurity researchers have released a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit that strings together a now-patched critical security flaw impacting Mitel MiCollab with an arbitrary file read zero-day, granting an attacker the ability to access files from susceptible instances

Amazing that these two bugs got into a production appliance, say researchers Palo Alto Networks (PAN) finally released a CVE identifier and patch for the zero-day exploit that caused such a fuss last week.…

There is some disagreement over whether the remote code execution (RCE) security flaws allow for unauthenticated exploitation or not. Citrix says no, but researchers say the company is downplaying a "good old unauthenticated RCE."

Now-Fixed Flaw Is Big Sleep's First Real-World Bug Find, Say ResearchersGoogle's "highly experimental" artificial intelligence agent Big Sleep has autonomously discovered an exploitable memory flaw in popular open-source database engine SQLite. The researchers detail how the AI agent discovered the now-patched vulnerability.
