contains_all(body, ">alert(1)","litespeed")
- →Probe for successful exploitation by checking that the HTTP 200 response body contains both the XSS payload string '>alert(1)' and the string 'litespeed' on the LiteSpeed Cache page optimization admin page (/wp-admin/admin.php?page=litespeed-page_optm).
- →Fingerprint LiteSpeed Cache presence on a target by checking for the response header 'X-Litespeed-Tag' containing the value '2d2_HTTP.200' with an HTTP 200 status code.
- →The attack requires an authenticated session (administrator login); monitor for POST requests to /wp-login.php followed by access to the LiteSpeed Cache page optimization admin endpoint.
- →Successful admin authentication is confirmed by a 302 redirect response containing the 'wordpress_logged_in' cookie; subsequent access to the litespeed-page_optm page with a stored XSS payload indicates exploitation.
- →CVE-2024-47374 affects LiteSpeed Cache versions up to and including 6.5.0.2; flag installations running these versions as vulnerable. ↗
- ·Exploitation requires authenticated access (administrator-level login to WordPress) before the stored XSS payload on the LiteSpeed Cache page optimization settings can be triggered.
- ·The vulnerability is a Stored XSS (not reflected), meaning the payload persists in the plugin's settings and will execute for any user who visits the affected admin page. ↗

Dragon RaaS | Pro-Russian Hacktivist Group Aims to Build on "The Five Families" Cybercrime Reputation
Dragon RaaS is a ransomware group that walks the line between hacktivism and cybercrime. Also known as DragonRansom or Dragon Team, it emerged in July 2024 as an offshoot of the Stormous group, itself part of a larger cybercrime syndicate known as “The Five Families,” which includes ThreatSec, GhostSec , Blackforums, and SiegedSec .
While Dragon RaaS markets itself as a sophisticated Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) operation, its attacks are often defacements and opportunistic rather than large-scale ransomware extortion. Even so, it continues to find victims—typically smaller organizations with weak security postures that are often compromised through misconfigurations, brute-force attacks and stolen credentials. The group primarily targets organizations in the United States, Israel, Unit
