CVE-2016-0736

In Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.0 to 2.4.23, modsessioncrypto was encrypting its data/cookie using the configured ciphers with possibly either CBC or ECB modes of operation AES256-CBC by default, hence no selectable or builtin authenticated encryption. This made it vulnerable to padding oracle...

Forecasting the Future of Ransomware

There's no question that ransomware is one of the most formidable threats to a business. With so much riding on digitized data, important applications and other systems, any interruption to access of these crucial assets can quickly spell disaster for an organization. Despite efforts on the part ...

EternalPetya and the lost Salsa20 key

We have recently been facing a huge outbreak of a new Petya-like malware armed with an infector similar to WannaCry. The research is still in progress, and the full report will be published soon. In this post, we will focus on some new important aspects of the current malware. The low-level attac...

Gratipay: Possible User Session Hijack using Invalid HTTPS certificate on inside.gratipay.com domain

Good evening team! This is a theoretical risk but I thought it was still worth reporting since every endpoint and any data flowing through inside.gratipay.com is unencrypted. POC https://inside.gratipay.com And every sub directory under inside.gratipay.com. Description Since the certificate is on...

Passwords at the Border

The password-manager 1Password has just implemented a travel mode that tries to protect users while crossing borders. It doesn't make much sense. To enable it, you have to create a list of passwords you feel safe traveling with, and then you can turn on the mode that only gives you access to thos...

Insecure Encryption

aescrypt uses a vulnerable encryption method. The method is vulnerable because it does not randomize the CBC IV when encrypting and decrypting data. This allows attackers to easily defeat the cryptographic mechanism by guessing the CBC IV...

SSL/TLS: Birthday attack against 64-bit block ciphers (SWEET32)

A flaw was found in the way the DES/3DES cipher was used as part of the TLS/SSL protocol. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to recover some plaintext data by capturing large amounts of encrypted traffic between TLS/SSL server and client if the communication used a DES/3DES based...

USN-3270-1 nss vulnerabilities

Karthik Bhargavan and Gaetan Leurent discovered that the DES and Triple DES ciphers were vulnerable to birthday attacks. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to obtain clear text data from long encrypted sessions. This update causes NSS to limit use of the same symmetric key...

httpd: Padding Oracle in Apache mod_session_crypto

It was discovered that the modsessioncrypto module of httpd did not use any mechanisms to verify integrity of the encrypted session data stored in the user's browser. A remote attacker could use this flaw to decrypt and modify session data using a padding oracle attack...
