InfoSec with a Hitchens twist: Marrying the rigor of cybersecurity with the rapier wit of Christopher Hitchens. Here, I dissect the digital dystopia and its discontents, one post at a time. Expect incisive commentary on the latest in Cyber Security, served with a side of scathing critique.
The article details a significant SQL injection vulnerability in Fortinet's FortiClient EMS, identified as CVE-2023–48788, now updated with valuable insight from @hal8999 and more details. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to execute code with SYSTEM on privileges without user interaction, but only if they are on the LAN. Fortinet's guidance includes reviewing systems for prior exploits, maintaining cyber hygiene, and following hardening recommendations. The issue underscores the challenge in cloud environments where customers lack control over backend security, highlighting the importance of vendor patching and proactive security measures. https://infosechitch.medium.com/zero-day-siege-the-fortinet-flaw-exposing-the-underbelly-of-corporate-defenses-e435b60792f2
@hal8999 Thanks once more, I have made another edit to the article with your clarification and also added in additional details about how it could be exploited from the writeup done by @horizon3attack
@hal8999 Thank you, I shall make another edit.
@hacks4pancakes @ShmooCon @pancakescon I cannot wait to see what is in store! In the grand pantheon of cybersecurity gatherings, few events promise to stir the intellect and quicken the pulse quite like the 5th annual PancakesCon. Here, at the zenith of digital discourse, the crème de la crème of infosec aficionados will soon convene. Prepare thyself for a symposium so electrifying, it threatens to outshine the very circuits we pledge to protect! #PancakesCon
