Information Stealer Masquerades as LDAPNightmare (CVE-2024-49113) PoC Exploit
In December 2024, two critical vulnerabilities in Microsoft's Windows Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) were addressed via Microsoft’s monthly Patch Tuesday release. Both vulnerabilities were deemed as highly significant due to the widespread use of LDAP in Windows environments: CVE-2024-49112: A remote code execution (RCE) bug that attackers can exploit by sending specially crafted LDAP requests, allowing them to execute arbitrary code on the target system. CVE-2024-49113: A denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability that can be exploited to crash the LDAP service, leading to service disruptions. In this blog entry, we discuss a fake proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2024-49113 (aka LDAPNightmare) designed to lure security researchers into downloading and executing information-stealing malware.

DoubleClickjacking: A New Era of UI Redressing
“Clickjacking” attacks have been around for over a decade, enabling malicious websites to trick users into clicking hidden or disguised buttons they never intended to click . This technique is becoming less practical as modern browsers set all cookies to “SameSite: Lax” by default. Even if an attacker site can frame another website, the framed site would be unauthenticated, because cross-site cookies are not sent. This significantly reduces the risk of successful clickjacking attacks, as most interesting functionality on websites typically requires authentication.
