MSIFortune - LPE with MSI Installers
A quite long blogpost about several types of LPEs which I found in the msi repair function.

There is a lot of different stuff, much more then Mandiant reveiled a few months ago.

Tested about 1000 msi which was quite time consuming.

Quishing Triage 101: How to Investigate Suspicious QR Codes in Emails

Quishing, derived from combining “QR code” and “phishing,” has manifested as a significant cybersecurity threat, particularly noting a discernible surge in incidents since July 2023. This technique leverages QR codes, square barcodes decipherable by mobile device cameras, to mislead users into interacting with malicious digital content. When a user scans a QR code in a...

Python SAST Security Tools?

So, for my apprenticeship i have to find a new SAST Security Tool to integrate into a pipeline. The only actual boundary is that it has to be open-source. Just so you know, the pipeline runs into a Docker container. It would be better if it easily implementable (in this project we use mainly Docker, maven and pip to install new tools in the container). Another guideline would be to find a tool that analyzes very used languages (like Python or Java). Alternately, can do other stuff but it should be simple enough to me to understand it (maybe policies tester are out of my league? i dunno).
We already use Trivy, Bandit, Semgrep, Safety, Checkov, [and under maven:\] Spotbugs, OWASP DC and Spotless (Techincally also Kubescape and Talisman but we have not fully developed them yet)
Before you ask, yes...i've tried to search on my own (pretty deeply, i think). So this what my precedent tries/alternatives are:
\- Flawfinder (a bit tricky to install and analyze only C/C++)
\- Pysa/Pyrecheck (it's not easy to install, hard to understand, and prints strange errors)
\- Bearer (probably my choice if i don't find a python alternative but...i hate Java)
Sorry for the long message and thanks to all for any advice or answer on the post. Of course i don't expect you to research, that is my job. Just write if anything pops in your mind.
Thx again!

Your org is already using much of what is available for your needs so I’m not sure what OSS are available with your criteria that could offer you more or even in-addition too, but you’ve already first hand have seen this yourself.

I know many tools to meet your needs but now we’re moving away from OSS and into SaaS but my guess is you have no budget for that.

Off the cuff what are the odds that the ask could pivot to SCA provided you and everyone else are large consumers of OSS and need to/should maybe look to consider your OSS risk?

Otherwise the only thing I can offer you is this link to GitHub that may be of assistance.

Binarly REsearch - Multiple Critical Vulnerabilities in Supermicro BMCs
🗣netsec_burn

Aren't we past this stuff yet:


Unfortunately, as usually happens during the disclosure process, the vendor tried to reduce the final impact of the documented vulnerabilities. We believe this to be an extremely wrong position, since end customers will have incorrect information when assessing the severity of a particular update. We encourage system administrators to keep their BMC systems up to date and follow NSA and CISA hardening guidelines.
