2023 Top Routinely Exploited Vulnerabilities | CISA
In 2023, malicious cyber actors exploited more zero-day vulnerabilities to compromise enterprise networks compared to 2022, allowing them to conduct cyber operations against higher-priority targets. In 2023, the majority of the most frequently exploited vulnerabilities were initially exploited as a zero-day, which is an increase from 2022, when less than half of the top exploited vulnerabilities were exploited as a zero-day. Malicious cyber actors continue to have the most success exploiting vulnerabilities within two years after public disclosure of the vulnerability. The utility of these vulnerabilities declines over time as more systems are patched or replaced. Malicious cyber actors find less utility from zero-day exploits when international cybersecurity efforts reduce the lifespan of zero-day vulnerabilities.
CopyRh(ight)adamantys Campaign: Rhadamantys Exploits Intellectual Property Infringement Baits
- Check Point Research is tracking an ongoing, large scale and sophisticated phishing campaign deploying the newest version of the Rhadamanthys stealer (0.7). We dubbed this campaign CopyRh(ight)adamantys. This campaign utilizes a copyright infringement theme to target various regions, including the United States, Europe, East Asia, and South America. The campaign impersonates dozens of companies, while each email is sent to a specific targeted entity from a different Gmail account, adapting the impersonated company and the language per targeted entity. Almost 70% of the impersonated companies are from Entertainment /Media and Technology/Software sectors. Analysis of the lures and targets in this campaign suggests the threat actor uses automation for lures distribution. Due to the scale of the campaign and the variety of the lures and sender emails, there is a possibility that the threat actor also utilized AI tools. One of the main updates in the Rhadamanthys stealer version according to claims by the author, is AI-powered text recognition. However, we discovered that the component introduced by Rhadamanthys does not incorporate any of the modern AI engines, but instead uses much older classic machine learning, typical for OCR software.

Cybercriminals impersonate OpenAI in large-scale phishing attack
Since the launch of ChatGPT, OpenAI has sparked significant interest among both businesses and cybercriminals. While companies are increasingly concerned about whether their existing cybersecurity measures can adequately defend against threats curated with generative AI tools, attackers are finding new ways to exploit them. From crafting convincing phishing campaigns to deploying advanced credential harvesting and malware delivery methods, cybercriminals are using AI to target end users and capitalize on potential vulnerabilities. Barracuda threat researchers recently uncovered a large-scale OpenAI impersonation campaign targeting businesses worldwide. Attackers targeted their victims with a well-known tactic — they impersonated OpenAI with an urgent message requesting updated payment information to process a monthly subscription.

A New Era of macOS Sandbox Escapes: Diving into an Overlooked Attack Surface and Uncovering 10+ New Vulnerabilities – Mickey's Blogs – Exploring the world with my sword of debugger :)
A New Era of macOS Sandbox Escapes: Diving into an Overlooked Attack Surface and Uncovering 10+ New Vulnerabilities This is a blog post for my presentation at the conference POC2024. The slides are uploaded here. In the macOS system, most processes are running in a restricted sandbox environment, whether they are Apple’s own services or third-party applications. Consequently, once an attacker gains Remote Code Execution (RCE) from these processes, their capabilities are constrained. The next step for the attacker is to circumvent the sandbox to gain enhanced execution capabilities and broader file access permissions. But how to discover sandbox escape vulnerabilities? Upon reviewing the existing issues, I unearthed a significant overlooked attack surface and a novel attack technique. This led to the discovery of multiple new sandbox escape vulnerabilities: CVE-2023-27944, CVE-2023-32414, CVE-2023-32404, CVE-2023-41077, CVE-2023-42961, CVE-2024-27864, CVE-2023-42977, and more.
