Microsoft Edge Vulnerability Could Have Allowed Hackers to Access Your Data on Any Website
On June 28, 2021, Microsoft released updates for the Edge browser addressing two security flaws, one of which involves a critical security bypass vulnerability. This flaw could potentially allow hackers to inject and execute arbitrary code across all websites. Identified as CVE-2021-34506 (CVSS score: 5.4), the issue is rooted in a universal cross-site scripting (UXSS) vulnerability that occurs when the browser’s automatic translation feature, powered by Microsoft Translator, is used. The vulnerability was discovered and reported by Ignacio Laurence along with Vansh Devgan and Shivam Kumar Singh from CyberXplore Private Limited. CyberXplore researchers explained, “Unlike conventional XSS attacks, UXSS exploits client-side vulnerabilities in the browser or extensions to create an XSS condition and run malicious code.”

Researchers Release PoC Exploit for Critical Windows RCE Vulnerability
On June 30, 2021, a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for a remote code execution vulnerability in the Windows Print Spooler, identified as CVE-2021-1675, was temporarily posted online before being removed. This security flaw, which Microsoft addressed in a Patch Tuesday update on June 8, 2021, could allow remote attackers to gain complete control over affected systems. The Print Spooler component, responsible for managing printer operations and loading drivers, poses significant risks due to its wide attack surface and high privilege level that enables the dynamic loading of third-party binaries. Shortly after the initial patch, Microsoft updated its assessment of the vulnerability’s impact from an elevation of privilege to remote code execution (RCE) and increased the severity rating.

Title: Cyber Attack Disrupts Pakistan Government Servers Following Security Breach
Date: March 11, 2013
Today, a cyber attack targeted Pakistan’s government servers, causing significant disruptions to various official websites, including those of the Ministry of Information Technology, Ministry of Railways, Ministry of Economic Affairs and Statistics, and several others. The hacker, known as ‘Godzilla’, claimed responsibility for the breach, citing the government’s alleged support for terrorist activities as the motivation behind the attack. “I’ve gone after all network infrastructure because they deserve it; my focus is solely on government sites, not innocent ones,” he stated.
Despite Pakistani officials being aware of the threats posed by new viruses and malware, their reliance on a proxy server (http://202.83.164.6/) to protect their systems fell short due to inadequate cybersecurity measures, ultimately leading to a successful breach.
