Do You Blindly Trust LoRaWAN Networks for IoT?
Do you blindly trust that your IoT devices are being secured by the encryption methods employed by LoRaWAN? If so, you’re not alone. Long Range Wide Area Networking (LoRaWAN) is a protocol designed to allow low-power devices to communicate with Internet-connected applications over long-range wireless connections. It’s being adopted by major organizations across the world because of its promising capabilities. For example, a single gateway (antenna) can cover an entire city, hundreds of square miles. With more than 100 million LoRaWAN-connected devices in use across the globe, many cellular carriers…
LoRaWAN Networks Susceptible to Hacking: Common Cyber Security Problems, How to Detect and Prevent Them
LoRaWAN is fast becoming the most popular wireless, low-power WAN protocol. It is used around the world for smart cities, industrial IoT, smart homes, etc., with millions of devices already connected. The LoRaWAN protocol is advertised as having “built-in encryption” making it “secure by default.” As a result, users are blindly trusting LoRaWAN networks and not paying attention to cyber security; however, implementation issues and weaknesses can make these networks easy to hack. Currently, cyber security vulnerabilities in LoRaWAN networks are not well known, and there are no existing tools…
Android (AOSP) Download Provider SQL Injection in Query Sort Parameter (CVE-2019-2196)
A malicious application with the INTERNET permission granted could retrieve all entries from the Download Provider internal database, bypassing all currently implemented access control mechanisms, by exploiting an SQL injection in the sort parameter (ORDER BY clause) and appending a LIMIT clause, which allows expressions, including subqueries. The information retrieved from this provider may include potentially sensitive information such as file names, descriptions, titles, paths, URLs (which may contain sensitive parameters in the query strings), cookies, custom HTTP headers, etc., for applications such as Gmail, Google Chrome, the Google Play…
Android (AOSP) Download Provider SQL Injection in Query Selection Parameter (CVE-2019-2198)
A malicious application with the INTERNET permission granted could retrieve all entries from the Download Provider internal database, bypassing all currently implemented access control mechanisms by exploiting an SQL injection in the selection clause. The information retrieved from this provider may include potentially sensitive information such as file names, descriptions, titles, paths, URLs (that may contain sensitive parameters in the query strings), cookies, custom HTTP headers, etc., for applications such as Gmail, Google Chrome, the Google Play Store, etc.
Android (AOSP) TV Provider SQL Injection in Query Projection Parameter (CVE-2019-2211)
A malicious application without any granted permission could retrieve all entries from the TV Provider internal database, bypassing all currently implemented access control mechanisms by exploiting an SQL injection in the projection parameter. The information retrieved from this provider may include personal and potentially sensitive information about other installed applications and user preferences, habits, and activity, such as available channels and programs, watched programs, recorded programs, and titles in the “watch next” list.
Buffer Overflow, Cross-Site Scripting / Request Forgery, URI Injection, Insecure SSH Key Exchange in Antaira LMX-0800AG
(eight advisories in document) Antaira’s firmware version 3.0 for the LMX-0800AG switch (among other supported devices) is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability when processing cookies. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage the vulnerability to take full control over the switch. It is also affected by a memory corruption vulnerability when processing ioIndex GET parameter values. An attacker with valid credentials for the web interface could leverage the vulnerability to take full control of the switch. Antaira’s firmware version 3.0 for the LMX-0800AG switch (among other supported devices) is affected by…
Reflected Cross-site Scripting in Microsoft Power BI
The application is vulnerable to reflected cross-site scripting (XSS). The requested data, which contains JavaScript code, is reflected in the response. Attackers could trick users into following a link or navigating to a page that posts a malicious JavaScript statement to the vulnerable site, causing the malicious JavaScript to be rendered by the site and executed by the victim client. The JavaScript code could be used for several purposes including stealing user cookies or as a second step to hijacking auser’s session. Another attack plan could include the possibility of…
Arm IDA and Cross Check: Reversing the 787’s Core Network
In 2008, the Dreamliner was presented as the world’s first e-Enabled commercial airplane. Boeing certainly introduced an impressive new set of functionalities, enabling the vast majority of the components to be highly integrated with and connected to regular systems, such as onboard maintenance, data-load, and the Crew Information System. IOActive has documented our detailed attack paths and component vulnerabilities to describe the first plausible, detailed public attack paths to effectively reach the avionics network on a commercial airplane from either non-critical domains, such as Passenger Information and Entertainment Services, or…
Eight Steps to Improving Your Supply Chain Security Program
A few key steps you can take today to build a supply chain security program – and protect your network, systems, and products from threats.
Supply Chain Risks Go Beyond Cyber: Focus on Operational Resilience
In this first, of a two-part blog series on supply chain, I’ll discuss the security and operational risk in today’s supply chain. In the past 20 years, we’ve seen the globalization of the supply chain and a significant movement to disperse supply chains outside national borders. With this globalization comes many supply chain risks — risks that go beyond just cyber attacks and demonstrate a need for stronger operational resilience. Most organizations want to take advantage of tariff treaties and overall cost savings by outsourcing the…
