Information

  VMware Cloud Director (VCD) is a platform designed to provide cloud services and act as the foundation for cloud management. It enables organizations and cloud service providers to create and manage workspaces in the cloud, efficiently manage IT resources, and deliver services in a cloud-native manner.

VCD assists in managing resource pools used to create clouds, such as virtual machines, and other necessary services for organizational operations or even for cloud service providers.

Utilizing VCD allows organizations to handle computer and network resources. Management through VCD makes it easier to customize and manage clouds. Additionally, it helps cloud service providers efficiently present and manage their customers' clouds, enhancing flexibility and effectiveness

Incident

  The authentication bypass vulnerability through Ports 22 (SSH) or 5480 (appliance management console) can be exploited by hackers Remote Code Execution with minimal complexity and without requiring user interaction. This impacts only devices using VCD Appliance 10.5 that were upgraded from older versions, but it doesn't affect newly installed VCD Appliance 10.5

Recommendation

−  On a new installation of VMware Cloud Director Appliance 10.5, the bypass is not present.

−Upgrade to VMware Cloud Director Appliance 10.5.1 from VMware Cloud Director Appliance 10.5

 

The important things is Security systems. We must concern and monitor as usual.

Multiple Malware Families Exploiting Apache ActiveMQ Vulnerability (CVE-2023-46604)​

Downloader,​

Information-stealer,​

Remote Access Trojan (RAT),​

Tool,​

Vulnerability​

Medium​

Despite a patch being released for CVE-2023-46604, threat actors continue to exploit the vulnerability. Malware distribution on vulnerable servers, including Sliver, Kinsing, Ddostf, GoTitan, and the .NET program "PrCtrl Rat," has increased due to this exploitation. The attack involves establishing a connection to ActiveMQ via the OpenWire protocol on port 61616. By sending a manipulated packet, the attacker triggers the system to unmarshal a class under their control, leading the vulnerable server to fetch and load a class configuration XML file from a specified remote URL. The presence of a predefined external XML file is crucial for this process. Compounding the issue, technical details and proof-of-concept (PoC) code for CVE-2023-46604 are publicly available, facilitating easier exploitation by attackers.

1.Update your Antivirus, Windows last version, and the device you are using to the latest.​

  1. Turn on Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)​
  2. Enable application control : Well defined policies should be used to limit usage of these programs to dedicated user groups.
