A vulnerability in Microsoft Graph allowed attackers to conduct password-spray attacks without detection. The issue involved switching the 'common' authentication endpoint with that of an unrelated tenant, thereby avoiding the appearance of logon attempts in the victim's logs. This technique could allow attackers to validate user credentials through verbose error messages, but actual successful logons using these credentials would still be recorded in the victims' logs (regardless of endpoint).
A vulnerability in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Visibility allowed arbitrary takeover of Azure tenants via a malicious reply URL. Clicking a link could grant an attacker directory read access or full tenant control if clicked by a Global Admin, without requiring user consent.
Le 24 avril 2024, Cisco a publié trois avis de sécurité concernant des vulnérabilités affectant les équipements de sécurité ASA et FTD. Deux d'entre eux concernent les vulnérabilités CVE-2024-20353 et CVE-2024-20359 qui sont activement exploitées dans le cadre d'attaques ciblées. La vulnérabilité...
There's a new variant of LightSpy malware targeting macOS. Here, Huntress' macOS researchers dive into the macOS variant of the LightSpy malware, after gaps in recent reports stating that the LightSpy malware strictly targets iOS.

The AWS Amplify service was found to be misconfiguring IAM roles associated with Amplify projects. This misconfiguration caused these roles to be assumable by any other AWS account. Both the Amplify Studio and the Amplify CLI exhibited this behavior. Any Amplify project created using the Amplify CLI built between July 3, 2018 and August 8, 2019 had IAM roles that were assumable by anyone in the world. The same was true if the authentication component was removed from an Amplify project using th…
\[Mise à jour du 10 mai 2024\] Le CERT-FR est intervenu pour le traitement d'une compromission par rançongiciel au sein d'une entité française. Dans le cadre de cette attaque, la vulnérabilité a été exploitée pour ensuite réaliser une latéralisation dans le système d'information de la victime et...
A principal with the permissions glue:GetConnection and ec2:DescribeSubnets can retrieve the database password of a connection, since the password is loaded into the AWS console website when a connection's edit page is requested. The severity of this issue is low since it requires sufficient prior access.
Huntress receives huge honors in latest G2 Spring 2024 Reports, earning 42 leader badges.
Tag variable names affected whether trust policy conditions were evaluated correctly. If the request tag referenced a principal tag called MemberRole in the JWT token, and the IAM role referenced a resource tag with the same variable name, the condition was always evaluated as true, regardless of whether the tag's values actually matched. Only role trust policies that used a variable substitution for both the request tag and the resource tag in the policy statement resulted in the policy evalua…
By adopting a managed EDR and partnering with experts like Huntress, healthcare providers can safeguard patient data and ensure uninterrupted patient care.
Cycode discovered a CI/CD misconfiguration in the Bazel repo, which if exploited could have allowed an attacker to enact a supply chain attack against all Bazel users, which includes Google themselves and therefore likely GCP as well.
GitLab addressed a critical vulnerability, CVE-2023-7028, affecting managed SaaS gitlab.com instance as well as self-hosted versions 16.1 to 16.7.1. The flaw could allow account takeovers via unverified email password resets. Third party could intercept the password reset request, add their own email to the request and forward it. GitLab would then send the reset link to the added 3rd-party email. This is in effect an account takeover with only precondition of knowing victim email associated wi…
Threat actors have been using malicious versions of Advanced IP Scanner to compromise their targets via malvertising campaigns. Let’s analyze one.

Huntress continues to see MSSQL server systems being attacked, and in recent incidents have seen overlap with previous incidents, not only in the use of LOLBins, but also in IP addresses used by the threat actor.
A flaw in AWS Bedrock's foundation model access control allowed unauthorized subscriptions to certain models, bypassing IAM policies using the aws-marketplace:ProductId condition key. This could lead to compliance issues and financial risks. AWS has since fixed the issue and notified affected customers.
Depending on which EDR solution you choose, capabilities and outcomes can differ greatly. Huntress looks at what differentiates Huntress Managed EDR from competitors, reviewing key features and benefits.
TrustOnCloud identified a flaw in how AWS Bedrock enforces IAM access controls using the aws-marketplace:ProductId condition key, which is meant to restrict subscriptions to specific foundation models. Their testing revealed that some Bedrock models, including those from Cohere and Stability AI, were not consistently blocked or allowed as intended by IAM policies, posing potential compliance and cost risks. AWS acknowledged and fixed the issue, notifying affected customers and updating testing …
A flaw in Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA) could have allowed potential session hijacking and remote code execution. The issue stemmed from a combination of session fixation in the MWAA web management panel and an AWS domain configuration error leading to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. Attackers exploiting this could manipulate victims' configurations, trigger workflows, and potentially move laterally to other services within the cloud environment. The exploit of this bu…
Many security awareness training solutions aren’t easy to manage, and worse, they affect knowledge retention. Let’s review the common SAT features that diminish your ability to improve your security posture.
Huntress recently detected interesting activity on an endpoint; a threat actor was attempting to establish a foothold on an endpoint by using commands issued via MSSQL to upload a reverse shell accessible from the web server. All attempts were obviated by MAV and process detections, but boy-howdy, did they try!
Pegasus infects mobile devices through zero-click exploits and silently harvests messages, calls, location, and microphone access. Learn how the spyware operates and the steps security teams can take to detect it on iOS and Android.
“Double extortion” attacks, often perpetrated by ransomware threat actors, include data exfiltration prior to file encryption. Huntress analysts have observed various means of data exfiltration, but recently observed the use of a legitimate backup application seen by others to be associated with a Noberus/ALPHV ransomware affiliate.
The primary goal of Apple's Transparency, Consent, and Control (TCC) is to empower users with transparency regarding how their data is accessed and used by applications. In this Part 2, dig even deeper into the mechanism that runs TCC and what's happening in the background.
Tenable Research discovered a privilege escalation flaw that allows a user to escalate privileges to that of the root user within the context of a Spark VM. This escalation was achieved because of a permissions issue with scripts utilized by the intelligent caching service (AKA "Vegas") present in the environment.
Impossible Travel is one of the earliest indicators of user compromise, and it works against any user-centric event that can be tied back to a location. Huntress goes in-depth on this problem, explaining how it works, revealing challenges surrounding it, and offering real-world examples occurring within Microsoft 365.
