A critical security vulnerability identified as CVE-2024-10220 has been discovered in Kubernetes’ deprecated gitRepo volume type. This vulnerability allows attackers with permissions to create pods using gitRepo volumes to execute arbitrary commands on the host node with root privileges, potentially leading to full system compromise. The gitRepo volume type was designed to clone Git repositories […]

A critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability identified as CVE-2024-21534 has been discovered in versions of the jsonpath-plus package before 10.0.0. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected systems by exploiting improper input sanitization and the unsafe default usage of the vm module in Node.js. jsonpath-plus is a JavaScript implementation of JSONPath […]

Upwind’s research team dives into the latest cloud ransomware threats and top ways to protect your organization. The webinar recording also covers the recent CUPS RCE zero-day vulnerability and looks at how to safeguard your systems.

Several critical Linux vulnerabilities have been declared, involving a bug in CUPS, the Common UNIX Printing System. All versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) are among the Linux distributions affected, but not in default configuration.  There are four vulnerabilities that have been identified and allocated the following CVEs – CVE-2024-47076, CVE-2024-47175, CVE-2024-47176 and CVE-2024-47177. […]

Cloud environments have changed how organizations manage their infrastructure, offering flexibility and scalability. But these benefits also bring new risks, and even small mistakes in cloud security can have serious consequences. For example, Google Cloud once accidentally deleted data from a $125 billion Australian pension fund due to a simple configuration error. Although this wasn’t […]

Docker has released crucial updates addressing a critical vulnerability in Docker Engine that could allow attackers to bypass authorization plugins (AuthZ). This issue has a low likelihood of being exploited, but all Docker installations need to upgrade to the latest versions immediately. Docker EE v19.03.x and all versions of Mirantis Container Runtime are not affected. […]

The Upwind research team is constantly monitoring the evolving threat landscape for emerging threats and vulnerabilities, and we recently discovered a new Unauthenticated Access vulnerability in ArgoCD – CVE-2024-37152. While this is only a moderate CVE, our research team found it as part of a toxic combination that included internet exposure. This combination permitted unauthorized […]

GitLab has released crucial updates for both its Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE) with versions 17.1.1, 17.0.3, and 16.11.5. These updates address multiple high-severity security vulnerabilities, and all GitLab installations must be upgraded to these versions immediately. GitLab.com is already running the patched versions. Run Pipelines as Any User (CVE-2024-5655) This flaw allows […]

OpenSSH is widely known for managing secure shell connections (SSH). However, a recently discovered vulnerability in OpenSSH’s server (sshd), known as regreSSHion, has been identified. If a client does not authenticate within the LoginGraceTime (120 seconds by default, 600 seconds in older versions), sshd’s SIGALRM handler is called asynchronously. This signal handler calls functions that […]

The Upwind security research team is constantly examining threat landscapes and potential attack paths. In one of our recent searches, we discovered an anomaly in the authentication behavior of Google Developer tools that security practitioners should be aware of.  We discovered this threat landscape by running scans on GCP Cloud Code, during which we found […]
