@RISK provides a reliable weekly summary of (1) newly discovered attack vectors, (2) vulnerabilities with active new exploits, (3) insightful explanations of how recent attacks worked, and other valuable data
A key purpose of the @RISK is to provide the data that will ensure that the 20 Critical Controls (the US and UK benchmark for effective protection of networked systems) continue to be the most effective defenses for all known attack vectors. But since it is also valuable for security practitioners, SANS is making it available to the 145,000 security practitioners who have completed SANS security training and others at their organizations who hope to stay current with the offensive methods in use.

NOTABLE RECENT SECURITY ISSUES
SELECTED BY THE TALOS SECURITY INTELLIGENCE AND RESEARCH GROUP
Title: Netwire malware delivered through Firefox vulnerability
Description: Attackers are exploiting a now-patched Mozilla Firefox vulnerability to deliver the Netwire malware. At the time of first exploitation, there was no fix for the bug. Netwire uses two separate functions to persist -- once as a launch agent and again as a login item. New Snort rules prevent the malware from downloading its final payload.
Reference: https://duo.com/decipher/firefox-0-day-used-to-deliver-netwire-mac-malware
Snort SIDs: 50498, 50500
Title: Cisco patches critical bugs in DNA Center, SD-WAN
Description: Cisco has patched a slew of critical and high-severity flaws in its DNA Center and SD-WAN. In all, the company issued fixes for 25 vulnerabilities last week across a variety of its products. Two of the most severe bugs exist on access ports necessary for Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) Center. There is another critical vulnerability in SD-WAN's command line interface.
Reference: https://threatpost.com/cisco-dna-center-critical-flaw/145849/
Snort SIDs: 50467, 50469 - 50472, 50485 - 50489, 50492

RECENT VULNERABILITIES FOR WHICH EXPLOITS ARE AVAILABLE
COMPILED BY THE QUALYS VULNERABILITY RESEARCH TEAM
This is a list of recent vulnerabilities for which exploits are
available. System administrators can use this list to help in
prioritization of their remediation activities. The Qualys Vulnerability
Research Team compiles this information based on various exploit
frameworks, exploit databases, exploit kits and monitoring of internet
activity.
ID: CVE-2019-12874
Title: VideoLAN VLC Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Vendor: VideoLAN
Description: VideoLAN VLC Media Player is exposed to a remote code execution vulnerability. An issue was discovered in "zlib_decompress_extra" in "modules/demux/mkv/util.cpp" in VideoLAN VLC media player vulnerable versions. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the user running the affected application.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
ID: CVE-2019-1875
Title: Cisco Prime Service Catalog Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability
Vendor: Cisco
Description: Cisco Prime Service Catalog is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user supplied input. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 3.5(AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:N/I:P/A:N)
ID: CVE-2019-12280
Title: PC-Doctor for Windows DLL Loading Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability
Vendor: PC-Doctor
Description: PC-Doctor for Windows is exposed to an arbitrary code execution vulnerability. An attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 6.8 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
ID: CVE-2019-1874
Title: Cisco Prime Service Catalog Cross Site Request Forgery Vulnerability
Vendor: Cisco
Description: Cisco Prime Service Catalog is exposed to an cross site request forgery vulnerability. The vulnerability is due to insufficient CSRF protection mechanisms on the web-based management interface on an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user of the interface to follow a malicious link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to perform arbitrary actions with the privilege level of the affected user.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 6.8 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
ID: CVE-2019-9701
Title: Symantec DLP Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability
Vendor: Symantec
Description: Symantec DLP is exposed to a cross site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user supplied input. A cross-site scripting vulnerability may be used by attackers to bypass access controls such as the same-origin policy. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may let the attacker steal cookie based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 3.5 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:N/I:P/A:N)
ID: CVE-2019-12817
Title: Linux kernel Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Vendor: Linux
Description: Linux Kernel is prone to a local privilege escalation vulnerability. A local attacker can exploit this issue to gain elevated privileges..
CVSS v2 Base Score: 6.9 (AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C)
ID: CVE-2019-2729
Title: Oracle WebLogic Server Deserialization Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Vendor: Oracle
Description: Oracle WebLogic Server is exposed to a remote code execution vulnerability. A remote attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected system. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebLogic Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle WebLogic Server.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
ID: CVE-2019-12881
Title: Linux Kernel Denial of Service Vulnerability
Vendor: Linux
Description: Linux Kernel is exposed to a denial of service vulnerability. Attackers can exploit this issue to cause denial of service conditions. Due to the nature of this issue, arbitrary code execution may be possible. "i915_gem_userptr_get_pages" in "drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_userptr.c" in vulnerable Linux kernel versions allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted ioctl calls to "/dev/dri/card0".
CVSS v2 Base Score: 4.6 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
