Curious on what this website is

http://lhhlovewyq.com/wp-includes /WebTracking/index.php?track-loc=trackNums=icz2270######&requester=%email address was here%&trackdetails

Is this a malware link? I didn’t notice and clicked it but then noticed it’s a fake phishing scam. How do I break down this website to understand the meaning of the link?

Python’s Tarfile path traversal bug from 2007 still present in 350k open source repos

Python’s Tarfile path traversal bug from 2007 still present in 350k open source reposPost Views: 2 Premium Contenthttps://www.blackhatethicalhacking.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Patreon-1.png Subscribe to Patreon to watch this episode.
Reading Time: 3 Minutes An estimated 350,000 open source repositories are affected by a 15-year old path traversal vulnerability in Python’s tarfile module, according to security researchers.Having “stumbled across” the unpatched issue while investigating an unrelated vulnerability, they initially thought the flaw was a new zero-day bug before realizing it actually dated back to 2007.

Originally designated a severity score of CVSS 6.8, CVE-2007-4559 allows attackers to gain code execution from the file-write “in most cases”, said Trellix researcher Kasimir Schulz in a blog post published yesterday (September 21).

Schulz explained how Trellix researchers successfully achieved this outcome against wireless protocol analyzer Universal Radio Hacker, IT infrastructure management service Polemarch, and Spyder IDE, an open-source development environment for scientific programming.

Complete Offensive Security and Ethical Hacking Course Patching marathonIn a separate Trellix blog post, Douglas McKee said 61% of a sample of around 300,000 files containing the tarfile module, which makes it possible to read and write tar archives, were vulnerable to the bug.

Trellix has created patches for around 11,000 projects and anticipates that a further 70,000 projects will receive a fix in the coming weeks.

The vulnerability arose “from two or three lines of code using unsanitized tarfile.extract() or the built-in defaults of tarfile.extractall(),” explains a third Trellix blog post by Charles McFarland. “Failure to write any safety code to sanitize the members files before calling tarfile.extract() or tarfile.extractall() results in a directory traversal vulnerability, enabling a bad actor access to the file system.”

If an attacker adds ‘..’ with the separator for the operating system (‘/’ or ‘\’) into the file name, they can escape the directory the file is supposed to be extracted into. Just a warningHowever, a Python bug thread from 2007, which has been reopened in recent days, concluded with a maintainer asserting that “tarfile.py does nothing wrong, its behaviour conforms to the pax definition and pathname resolution guidelines in POSIX. There is no known or possible practical exploit”.

The maintainer did add a warning to the Python documentation, which remains in place, that urges developers to “never extract archives from untrusted sources without prior inspection”.

Trending: Offensive Security Tool: fuxploider Corner casesTrellix’s McKee acknowledged that there are legitimate use cases for preserving behavior that could be abused for malicious purposes. However, he said, “in this instance I believe the risk outweighs the reward for accommodating a few corner cases”, especially given “most” third party online tutorials seemed to “incorrectly demonstrate the insecure use of the tarfile module”.

Trellix created and open-sourced a tool to aid the research and patching process that automatically detects the vulnerability in source code by leveraging AST intermediate representation.

Called Creosote, the utility provides a means to scan closed source repositories too.

“This vulnerability is incredibly easy to exploit” and prevalent in the wild, making Python’s tarfile module[...]

“a massive supply chain issue threatening infrastructure around the world”, concluded Schulz.

Are u a security researcher? Or a company that writes articles or write ups about Cyber Security, Offensive Security (related to information security in general) that match with our specific audience and is worth sharing?
