- Every Signature is Broken: On the Insecurity of Microsoft Office’s OOXML Signatures
OOXML signatures are rendered pretty much useless due to 3 flaws in specification and 2 flaws in implementation.
"The vulnerabilities have been acknowledged by Microsoft. However, Microsoft has decided that the vulnerabilities do not require immediate attention."
- CS:GO: From Zero to 0-dayneodyme.io CS:GO: From Zero to 0-day
We identified three independent remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities in the popular Counter-Strike: Global Offensive game. Each vulnerability can be triggered when the game client connects to our malicious python CS:GO server. This post details our journey through the CS:GO binary and conduct...
They've chained 4 logic bugs to achieve RCE in CS:GO, pretty impressive. Valve sucks at communication and bug bounty payouts though.
- Side projects for May/June 2023 (🔒podcast)video.infosec.exchange Lockpodcast
Lockpodcast is a podcast made by @mj@treehouse.systems I wanted to play around with some video editing so I decided to try making some video with it. You can find it here. https://lockpodcast.com
h/t @NeonPayload@infosec.pub for the video.
My slipping goal for the past month has been the continued production of a weekly podcast. Nothing long, short form that could be listened to on a train or in the car.
The challenge I'm facing head on is how to make it unique. Sure, I can do NPR reading the news but who cares and who is that, what is my target audience. My simple solution so far is to go back and try to find a style and content that people can't get from a dozen different sources on their phone already.
Ideas and recommendations appreciated.
- What's your side project of a month?
If you're working on a research or side project, this is your platform to share your findings, roadblocks, breakthroughs, and more. Doesn't matter if it's still a work in progress or has been recently published - all stages of research are welcome.
Maybe you're not actively researching, but you're closely following an interesting development in the industry or a certain researcher's work - feel free to share that here too!
Or perhaps, you've got an idea for a project or research you wish to undertake, but need resources, collaborators, or simply some guidance - let the community know.
Here's a simple guideline to kickstart the conversation:
- What's the research about? (Give a brief overview of the project or topic)
- Current progress/Findings (If applicable)
- Challenges and roadblocks (What issues are you facing or expect to face?)
- Help needed (Are you looking for collaborators, resources, advice, etc.?)
