Urgent Security Alert: Critical RCE Flaw Discovered in VMware vCenter Server – Immediate Patching Recommended!
May 26, 2021
VMware has issued patches to fix a severe security vulnerability in vCenter Server that could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server. Identified as CVE-2021-21985 (with a CVSS score of 9.8), this vulnerability arises from insufficient input validation in the Virtual SAN (vSAN) Health Check plug-in, which is enabled by default in vCenter Server. According to VMware, “An attacker with network access to port 443 could exploit this vulnerability to run commands with unrestricted privileges on the underlying operating system hosting vCenter Server.”
VMware vCenter Server is a management tool for controlling virtual machines, ESXi hosts, and other related components from a centralized interface. The flaw impacts vCenter Server versions 6.5, 6.7, and 7.0, as well as Cloud Foundation versions 3.x and 4.x. VMware has acknowledged Ricter Z from 360 Noah Lab for reporting this critical vulnerability. The patch also addresses an authentication issue…

Stuxnet Virus Breached Chevron’s IT Network
Nov 09, 2012
The sophisticated Stuxnet virus, developed jointly by the U.S. and Israel to target Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities in Natanz, also compromised Chevron’s IT network shortly after its public emergence in 2010. Chevron identified the malware in its systems following its initial discovery, noted in a blog post in July 2010, according to Mark Koelmel, general manager of the earth-sciences department at the oil giant. While the U.S. government has never formally acknowledged the Stuxnet initiative, the virus, intended to disrupt systems produced by Siemens for managing critical infrastructure, has been detected in various countries. Reports from the Wall Street Journal suggest that Chevron’s encounter with Stuxnet resulted from the malware’s unintended dissemination.

Linux Malware Leveraging Malicious RAR Filenames Evades Antivirus Detection
In a recent report from cybersecurity researchers, a new attack strategy has been revealed, utilizing phishing emails to spread an open-source backdoor known as VShell. According to Trellix researcher Sagar Bade, this “Linux-specific malware infection chain begins with a spam email containing a harmful RAR archive file.” The unique aspect of this attack is that the malicious payload is embedded directly in the filename, rather than hidden within the file’s content or through macros. By employing shell command injection and Base64-encoded Bash payloads, attackers transform routine file listing commands into triggers for automatic malware execution. This technique exploits a common, yet dangerous pattern in shell scripts, where poorly sanitized file names allow seemingly innocuous commands like eval or echo to execute arbitrary code. Additionally, this approach provides further advantages…
