The recent (2022) compromise of Lastpass included email addresses, home addresses, names, and encrypted customer vaults. In this post I will demonstrate how attackers may leverage tools like Hashcat to crack an encrypted vault with a weak password.

Here are two proof-of-concepts for CVE-2022-26766 (CoreTrust allows any root certificate) and CVE-2022-26763 (IOPCIDevice::_MemoryAccess not checking bounds at all), two issues discovered by @LinusHenze and patched in macOS 12.4 / iOS 15.5.

In February 2022, Microsoft patched the vulnerability I used in TianfuCup 2021 for escaping Adobe Reader sandbox, assigned CVE-2022-22715. The vulnerability existed in Named Pipe File System nearly 10 years since the AppContainer was born. We called it "Windows Dirty Pipe". In this article, I will share the root cause and exploitation of Windows Dirty Pipe. So let's start our journey.

With a recent market cap of over $100 billion and the genericization of its name, the popularity of Zoom is undeniable. But what about its security? This imperative question is often quite personal, as who amongst us isn't jumping on weekly (daily?) Zoom calls? In this talk, we’ll explore Zoom’s macOS application to uncover several critical security flaws. Flaws, that provided a local unprivileged attacker a direct and reliable path to root. The first flaw, presents itself subtly in a core cryptographic validation routine, while the second is due to a nuanced trust issue between Zoom’s client and its privileged helper component. After detailing both root cause analysis and full exploitation of these flaws, we’ll end the talk by showing how such issues could be avoided …both by Zoom, but also in other macOS applications.
