The Java OpenWire protocol marshaller is vulnerable to Remote Code
Execution. This vulnerability may allow a remote attacker with network
access to either a Java-based OpenWire broker or client to run arbitrary
shell commands by manipulating serialized class types in the OpenWire
protocol to cause either the client or the broker (respectively) to
instantiate any class on the classpath.
Users are recommended to upgrade
both brokers and clients to version 5.15.16, 5.16.7, 5.17.6, or 5.18.3
which fixes this issue.

## 13-year-old bug in ActiveMQ lets hackers remotely execute commands
## Bill Toulas
This is also the reason why it was missed for more than a decade.
Apache ActiveMQ is an open-source message broker written in Java that handles asynchronous communication via message queues or topics.
Although ActiveMQ has released a newer ‘Artemis’ branch with better performance, the ‘Classic’ edition impacted by CVE-2026-34197 is widely deployed in enterprise, web backends, government, and company systems built on Java.
Horizon3 researcher Naveen Sunkavally found the issue "with nothing more than a couple of basic prompts" in Claude. "This was 80% Claude with 20% gift-wrapping by a human," he said.
Sunkavally notes that Claude pointed to the issue after examining multiple individual components (Jol

## Over 1,000 Exposed ComfyUI Instances Targeted in Cryptomining Botnet Campaign
An active campaign has been observed targeting internet-exposed instances running ComfyUI, a popular stable diffusion platform, to enlist them into a cryptocurrency mining and proxy botnet.
"A purpose-built Python scanner continuously sweeps major cloud IP ranges for vulnerable targets, automatically installing malicious nodes via ComfyUI-Manager if no exploitable node is already present," Censys security researcher Mark Ellzey said in a report published Monday.
The attack activity, at its core, systemically scans for exposed ComfyUI instances and

s1ngularity: Supply Chain Attack Leaks Secrets on GitHub
On August 26, 2025, multiple malicious versions of the widely used Nx build system package were published to the npm registry. These versions contained a post-installation malware script designed to harvest sensitive developer assets, including cryptocurrency wallets, GitHub and npm tokens, SSH keys, and more. The malware leveraged AI command-line tools (including Claude, Gemini, and Q) to aid in their reconnaissance efforts, and then exfiltrated the stolen data to publicly accessible attacker-created repositories within victims’ GitHub accounts.

Administrators are urged to patch their systems as soon as possible, seeing that the vulnerability is now actively exploited and several proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits have been released online since its disclosure in early October.
"With the capability to provide full root access on popular platforms like Fedora, Ubuntu, and Debian, it's imperative for system administrators to act swiftly," Qualys' Saeed Abbasi warned.
CISA also added the actively exploited Linux flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog today, including it in its list of "frequent attack vectors for malicious cyber actors" and posing "significant risks to the federal enterprise."

The Kinsing malware operator is actively exploiting the CVE-2023-46604 critical vulnerability in the Apache ActiveMQ open-source message broker to compromise Linux systems.
The flaw allows remote code execution and was fixed in late October. Apache’s disclosure explains that the issue allows running arbitrary shell commands leveraging serialized class types in the OpenWire protocol.
Researchers found that thousands of servers remained exposed to attacks after the release of the patch and ransomware gangs like HelloKitty and TellYouThePass started to take advantage of the opportunity.

## RansomHub Ransomware: In-Depth Analysis, Detection, and Mitigation
## What Is RansomHub Ransomware?
RansomHub operations were first observed in February of 2024. Since then, the group has drawn heavily upon its ability to recruit and attract operators from other, sometimes imploding, extortion operations. Upon the collapse of ALPHV, for example, multiple affiliates migrated to RansomHub, hoping to monetize their stolen data through them. RansomHub has been associated with the re-extortion of ransomware victims, including high-value healthcare organizations. Primary operators behind RansomHub have openly recruited affiliates from other ransomware operations via their various communication channels, including DLS sites, forum posts, and Telegram.

## Abstract
The Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) is designed to assess the probability of a vulnerability being exploited in the next 30 days relative to other vulnerabilities. The latest version, based on a research paper published in arXiv , assists defenders in deciding which vulnerabilities to prioritize for remediation. This study evaluates EPSS's ability to predict exploitation before vulnerabilities are actively compromised, focusing on high severity CVEs that are known to have been exploited and included in the CISA KEV catalog. By analyzing EPSS score history, the availability and simplicity of exploits, the system's purpose, its value as a target for Threat Actors (TAs), this paper examines EPSS's potential and identifies ar

# Prime Time (User)
## Description
Cisco Prime Infrastructure is a network management tool for managing network infrastructure. This server is a partial version, containing key components and files for testing, and can be exploited similarly to the full version.
## Solution
Given an IP, we run `nmap -T5 -p- IP` to scan the box. The scan reveals several open ports:
- Port 22: OpenSSH
- Port 1883: MQTT broker
- Port 5672: AMQP service
- Port 8161: HTTP (Jetty 9.2.22, "Apache ActiveMQ" title)
- Port 46655: tcpwrapped
- Port 61613: STOMP protocol
- Port 61614: HTTP (Jetty 9.2.22, supports risky methods)
- Port 61616: Apache ActiveMQ (version 5.15.3)
A quick search for exploits on "Jetty 9.2.22 RCE" and "ActiveMQ 5.15.3 RCE" led to this ActiveMQ exploit: [CVE-2023-46604-ActiveMQ-RCE-pseudo
