Rapid7 researchers have discovered vulnerabilities in Xerox VersaLink C7025 Multifunction printers (MFPs). These flaws enable attackers to capture authentication credentials via pass-back attacks through Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Server Message Block (SMB/FTP) services. Exploiting these vulnerabilities allows malicious actors to intercept authentication credentials, leading to credential theft and lateral attacks within enterprise networks, highlighting the need for security.
A fake proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit is being used to target security researchers, disguising itself as a fix for a critical Microsoft LDAP vulnerability. The attackers used a forked version of the legitimate PoC and embed information-stealing malware that is deployed when the malicious code is executed. The tactic aims to steal credentials, and other sensitive information from security researchers.
A critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-49112, has been identified in Windows LDAP. A Proof of Concept (PoC) exploit has been released demonstrating how an attacker can send a malicious LDAP request to unpatched Domain Controllers, leading to memory corruption and remote code execution without any user interaction. This vulnerability poses a significant threat to Windows environments. This is a zero click RCE vulnerability.
