Cyber Vulnerabilities Today: The D-Link Doubles and Other Dastardly Dilemmas!
Welcome back, dear readers! Today has served up a buffet of vulnerabilities, and hot off the cyber-press, we’ve got a couple of juicy zero-day delights featuring D-Link devices and a whole heap of WordPress plugins ripe for the picking! If you thought cybersecurity was mundane, you’ve clearly never been chased by a rogue buffer overflow.
D-Link DIR-605L: A Double Dose of Danger!
Let’s kick things off with the D-Link DIR-605L, which apparently couldn’t decide which buffer to overflow first. We have not one, but two critical vulnerabilities reported today, both rated a high-severity score of 8.8!
- CVE-2024-9515: A buffer overflow vulnerability due to a crafty manipulation of the
curTime
argument in theformSetQoS
function. Can you hear the hackers sharpening their knives? - CVE-2024-9514: Another buffer overflow, but this time with the
formSetDomainFilter
function getting its fair share of shame. What’s a router to do?
More Vulnerabilities on the Menu!
As if that wasn’t enough, we also have a slew of WordPress plugins lining up for the hacker’s picnic. Who doesn’t love a good cross-site scripting vulnerability? Here are a few highlights:
- CVE-2024-8804: The Code Embed plugin allows stored XSS, making life all too easy for those with contributor-level access. It’s basically an invitation to script chaos!
- CVE-2024-9242: Similarly, the Memberful plugin is also no stranger to XSS. It allows some merry meddling with user inputs, so keep an eye on those shortcodes!
- CVE-2024-8519: Another XSS vulnerability in the Ultimate Member plugin. It seems like everyone wants a piece of the action today!
And There’s More!
In addition to the rather alarming D-Link revelations and the WordPress party crashers, we have other medium and high-severity vulnerabilities sneaking in from all corners of the web, including SQL injections and command injections begging for attention.
This is just a taste of today’s alerts, and you can bet your bottom bit there are many more waiting in the wings! If you want to tap into live alerts, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
