Almost all of the public exploits for ManageEngine's CVE-2022-47966 rely on getRuntime().exec(). This behavior will get an attacker caught by any half-decent security solution. So I put together a blog that demonstrates how an attacker can exploit this vulnerability without getRuntime(), stay in memory, and evade current detections.

@rakkhis All the @riskybusiness podcasts are essential listening if you want to understand cyber industry and government policy

And @tomatospy and @thegrugq are two of the leading public analysts on cyberwarfare tactics. I didn’t agree with everything they said but about 90% is dead on

Fans banned from Europa Conference League match amid Moldovan fears of Russian coup

Clever idea actually. Use saboteurs disguised as football hooligans who then attack buildings and seize control under cover of a football game.

Apple splats zero-day bug, other gremlins in macOS, iOS

Not much info on this, but (1) WebKit type confusion gives RCE, (2) actively exploited in the wild, (3) credit appears to be given to Citizen Labs. Strongly suggests that some spyware vendor had to spend time and money integrating a replacement iOS 0day into their system.
