🚨New 0day inbound, windows2shell🚨
Can compromise any Windows host. Potentially 70% of the internet is affected.
Tweet-able PoC:
cmd.exe/powershell.exe
Can’t be patched
(/S lulz)
Once a year pen test = 11 months of guessing 🫠 Continuous, human-assured testing from £250/mo

Really important:
'Look for X-Powered-By: PHP/.... Fast inventory check; hidden PHP deployments can be missed, and version banners don’t confirm vulnerability.'
Backporting is a thing..... there's a lot of claims this week:
> PoCs that are nonsense
> Identification of things that is very questionable
So just a heads up! No one has an all knowing, all seeing view! (that doesn't mean you should fall to FUD)
Two very useful posts on monitoring and hardening PHP services, plus an Nmap command to help find them in your environment:
1. Discovery with Nmap
Common and alternative web ports; HTTP headers that may expose PHP versions:
nmap -sT -sV --version-light -T4 --max-retries 1 --open -p 80,81,443,8000-8010,8080-8090,8181,8443,8880,8888,9000,9001,9080,9090,9443 --script http-headers --script-timeout 10s --script-args 'http-headers.path=/index.php,http-headers.useget=true' <target>
Look for X-Powered-By: PHP/.... Fast inventory check; hidden PHP deployments can be missed, and version banners don’t confirm vulnerability.
2. Huntress: Monitoring and detection
• Confirmed facts and remaining questions
• Suspicious PHP child processes, shells and downloaders
• Webshells and other post-exploitation activity
• My process-watcher for Linux process visibility

3. Vincent Schmalbach: Hardening and patching
• Temporary nginx/Apache filters and upload-progress settings
• WAF/origin bypass checks
• Package and backport verification
• PHP-FPM/worker restarts, container rebuilds
• Side effects and checks for compromise

Temporary measures are stopgaps. Prepare to apply the official fixes as soon as available.

"The previous update (October 22 16:18 UTC) reported that Sophos observed successful exploitation of PHP2Shell in customer environments. Upon further analysis, we are correcting that assessment as Sophos customer telemetry shows scanning and a small number of failed exploitation attempts. As of this update, there is no evidence of a successful compromise due to these vulnerabilities." sophos.com/en-us/blog/proof-…

Things keep happening this week, so just so we're all clear on the rules, no one is allowed to disclose vulns or breaches after Friday morning, until Monday. Them's the rules.

The cybersecurity industry has a serious problem with over complicating literally everything.

I wrote this yesterday looking at how likely mass exploitation is for #PHP2SHELL....

Waiting on today's PHP patches? While you wait, check your Apache logs for crashes and known PHP attack patterns. Small read-only Python script, no dependencies:

🚨 JFrog Security Research has identified a supply-chain attack involving malicious code in the LiteLLM 1.107.0 PyPI release. Avoid this version and investigate environments where it was installed or executed. More details will be shared soon in our blog post.

Building an in-house 24/7 SOC is a significant investment. Our SOC-as-a-Service provides enterprise-grade security with predictable costs, tailored for UK SMEs.
On any public transport would be grand, just no need for it or speaking on loud speaker
