Kali + Whonix VMs

Hello there!

Noob question

If I set up Kali and configure it to run through Whonix all inside VMs wouldn't the traffic still go through the main PC -> Router and the ISP will be still able to see the data or what am I doing?

Thank you in advance and best regards!

Edit: and is it possible to set a home vpn server which goes through Whonix first?

Can QR code be used to send data?

My cousin was telling me about his online exams and how there's a rumor that the exam board placed qr codes on the screen that can't be seen. If a student were to take a picture of the screen, the examiner will receive information that the student is cheating. I'm not sure how true this is.

How would a Guest VM VPN connection work?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Pentesting/comments/njnb19/how_would_a_guest_vm_vpn_connection_work/

Sorry for the absolute noob question. I'm running Kali on vmware workstation16. I use expressVPN (feel free to suggest something better). Do I just install the client on my guest VM? Do I run it on both or just the guest or just the host? Software defined networking isn't my strong suite. Edit: host is Win 10 home submitted by /u/Rustyshackilford (https://www.reddit.com/user/Rustyshackilford)

WP Statistics Bug Allows Attackers to Lift Data from WordPress Sites

https://www.blackhatethicalhacking.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/black-hat-locks-and-electronics.jpg WP Statistics Bug Allows Attackers to Lift Data from WordPress SitesPost Views: 17
Reading Time: 1 Minute
WP Statistics, a plugin installed on more than 600,000 WordPress websites, has an SQL-injection security vulnerability that could let site visitors make off with all kinds of sensitive information from web databases, including emails, credit-card data, passwords and more. WP Statistics, as its name suggests, is a plugin that delivers analytics for site owners, including how many people visit the site, where they’re coming from, what browsers and search engines they use, and which pages, categories and tags have the most visits. It also delivers anonymized data around IP addresses, referring sites, and country- and city-level details for visitors, all presented in the form of charts and graphs.

Wordfence researchers found the high-severity bug (tracked as CVE-2021-24340, rating 7.5 out of 10 on the CVSS scale) in the “Pages” function, which lets administrators see which pages have received the most traffic. It returns this data using SQL queries to a back-end database – but it turns out that unauthenticated attackers can hijack the function to perform their own queries, in order to purloin sensitive information.
See Also: Windows PoC Exploit Released for Wormable RCE “While the ‘Pages’ page was intended for administrators only and would not display information to non-admin users, it was possible to start loading this page’s constructor by sending a request to wp-admin/admin.php with the page parameter set to wps_pages_page,” said Wordfence researchers in a posting this week. “Since the SQL query ran in the constructor for the ‘Pages’ page, this meant that any site visitor, even those without a login, could cause this SQL query to run. A malicious actor could then supply malicious values for the ID or type parameters.”

The specific vulnerability is a time-based blind SQL injection, according to researchers at Wordfence. This technique involves sending requests to the database that “guess” at the content of a database table and instruct the database to delay the response or “sleep” if that guess is correct.

For instance, an attacker could ask the database if the first letter of the admin user’s email address starts with the letter “A,” and instruct it to delay the response by five seconds if this is true.

“Exfiltrating information would be a relatively slow process, and it would be impractical to use it to extract bulk records, but high-value information such as user emails, password hashes, and encryption keys and salts could be extracted in a matter of hours with the help of automated tools such as sqlmap,” according to Wordfence. “In a targeted attack, this vulnerability could be used to extract personally identifiable information from commerce sites containing customer information. This underscores the importance of having security protections with an endpoint firewall in place wherever sensitive data is stored.”

The only reliable method of preventing SQL injection is to prepare all SQL statements before executing them, researchers added. Prepared statements isolate each query parameter so that an adversary would not be able to see the entire scope of the data that’s returned.
