Distributed Reconnaissance: Defending the Enterprise Edge Against the JDY Botnet 

Distributed Reconnaissance: Defending the Enterprise Edge Against the JDY Botnet  TL;TR  The JDY botnet represents a massive escalation in state sponsored cyber threats. This network of over 1500 compromised small office and home office (SOHO) routers executes highly coordinated Distributed Reconnaissance. Instead of launching brute force attacks, it silently maps the global attack surface to identify vulnerable enterprise edge devices.

Schema Poisoning in Proto6: Engineering Continuous Resilience for Node.js 

Schema Poisoning in Proto6: Engineering Continuous Resilience for Node.js  TL;DR  The recently disclosed Proto6 vulnerabilities in the protobuf.js library expose a catastrophic flaw in how Node.js applications handle data serialization. By exploiting implicit trust in Protocol Buffers definitions, attackers can execute arbitrary code and trigger massive denial of service events through a technique known as Schema

Preempting SolarWinds Serv-U Crashes: An Engineering Approach to Path Traversal Risks

Preempting SolarWinds Serv-U Crashes: An Engineering Approach to Path Traversal Risks TL;DR A critical unauthenticated path traversal vulnerability in SolarWinds Serv-U (CVE-2024-28995) is being actively exploited not just to read sensitive system files, but increasingly to crash servers. This poses a significant operational risk that generic, reactive patching cannot solve on its own. Preempting these
