This time, it is Check Point who is the focus of our penetrative gaze. Check Point, for those unaware, is the vendor responsible for the 'CloudGuard Network Security' appliance, yet another device claiming to be secure and hardened.

This was an interesting journey into Windows RPC caller validation and bypassing several checks, including Authenticode verification. Check out the original Medium blogpost for Winston’s own ZSATrayManager Arbitrary File Deletion (CVE-2023-41969)!

PCTattletale leaks victims' screen recordings to entire Internet
PCTattletale is a simple stalkerware app. Rather than the sophisticated monitoring of many similarly insecure competitors it simply asks for permission to record the targeted device (Android and Windows are supported) on infection. Afterward the observer can log in to an online portal and activate recording, at which point a screen capture is taken on the device and played on the target's browser.
