| A medium severity vulnerability has been identified in the update mechanism of the Phish Alert Button for Outlook, which could allow an attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code on the host machine. The vulnerability arises from the application's failure to securely verify the authenticity and integrity of the update server.
The application periodically checks for updates by querying a specific URL. However, this process does not enforce strict SSL/TLS verification, nor does it validate the digital signature of the received update files. An attacker with the capability to perform DNS spoofing can exploit this weakness. By manipulating DNS responses, the attacker can redirect the application's update requests to a malicious server under their control.
Once the application queries the spoofed update URL, the malicious server can respond with a crafted update package. Since the application fails to properly verify the authenticity of the update file, it will accept and execute the package, leading to arbitrary code execution on the host machine.
Impact:
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to execute code with elevated privileges, potentially leading to data theft, installation of further malware, or other malicious activities on the host system.
Affected Products:
Phish Alert Button (PAB) for Outlook versions 1.10.0-1.10.11
Second Chance Client versions 2.0.0-2.0.9
PIQ Client versions 1.0.0-1.0.15
Remediation:
Automated updates will be pushed to address this issue. Users of affected versions should verify the latest version is applied and, if not, apply the latest updates provided by KnowBe4, which addresses this vulnerability by implementing proper SSL/TLS checks of the update server. It is also recommended to ensure DNS settings are secure to prevent DNS spoofing attacks.
Workarounds:
Use secure corporate networks or VPN services to secure network communications, which can help mitigate the risk of DNS spoofing.

| A vulnerability was found in Kentico CMS up to 13.0.178. It has been declared as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /CMSInstall/install.aspx of the component Additional Database Installation Wizard. The manipulation of the argument new database leads to cross site scripting. The attack can be launched remotely. Upgrading to version 13.0.179 is able to address this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. |
| A vulnerability was identified in the `exec_utils` class of the `llama_index` package, specifically within the `safe_eval` function, allowing for prompt injection leading to arbitrary code execution. This issue arises due to insufficient validation of input, which can be exploited to bypass method restrictions and execute unauthorized code. The vulnerability is a bypass of the previously addressed CVE-2023-39662, demonstrated through a proof of concept that creates a file on the system by exploiting the flaw. |

| mediDOK before 2.5.18.43 allows remote attackers to achieve remote code execution on a target system via deserialization of untrusted data. |
| The Woody code snippets – Insert Header Footer Code, AdSense Ads plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.0 via the 'insert_php' shortcode. This is due to the plugin not restricting the usage of the functionality to high level authorized users. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to execute code on the server. |
| An issue in the component segwindrvx64.sys of Insyde Software Corp SEG Windows Driver v100.00.07.02 allows attackers to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code via sending crafted IOCTL requests. |
| File Upload vulnerability in Xi'an Daxi Information technology OfficeWeb365 v.8.6.1.0 and v7.18.23.0 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the pw/savedraw component. |
| An issue was identified in the Identity Security Cloud (ISC) Transform preview and IdentityProfile preview API endpoints that allowed an authenticated administrator to execute user-defined templates as part of attribute transforms which could allow remote code execution on the host. |
| An issue in the component RTKVHD64.sys of Realtek Semiconductor Corp Realtek(r) High Definition Audio Function Driver v6.0.9549.1 allows attackers to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code via sending crafted IOCTL requests. |
| The WP Latest Posts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.7. This is due to the plugin allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a user-supplied value prior to using that value in a call to do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes. |
