• SANS Stormcast Thursday, May 1st: Sonicwall Attacks; Cached Windows RDP Credentials

  Web Scanning for Sonicwall Vulnerabilities CVE-2021-20016 For the last week, scans for Sonicwall API login and domain endpoints have skyrocketed. These attacks may be exploiting an older vulnerability or just attempting to brute force credentials. https://isc.sans.edu/diary/Web%20Scanning%20Sonicwall%20for%20CVE-2021-20016/31906 The Wizards APT Group SLAAC Spoofing Adversary in the Middle Attacks ESET published an article with details regarding an IPv6-linked attack they have observed. Attackers use router advertisements to inject fake recursive DNS servers that are used to inject IP addresses for hostnames used to update software. This leads to the victim downloading malware instead of legitimate updates. https://www.welivesecurity.com/en/eset-research/thewizards-apt-group-slaac-spoofing-adversary-in-the-middle-attacks/ Windows RDP Access is Possible with Old Credentials Credential caching may lead to Windows allowing RDP logins with old credentials. https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/04/windows-rdp-lets-you-log-in-using-revoked-passwords-microsoft-is-ok-with-that/?comments-page=1#comments

• SANS Stormcast Wednesday, April 30th: SMS Attacks; Apple Airplay Vulnerabilities

  More Scans for SMS Gateways and APIs Attackers are not just looking for SMS Gateways like the scans we reported on last week, but they are also actively scanning for other ways to use APIs and add on tools to send messages using other people s credentials. https://isc.sans.edu/diary/More%20Scans%20for%20SMS%20Gateways%20and%20APIs/31902 AirBorne: AirPlay Vulnerabilities Researchers at Oligo revealed over 20 weaknesses they found in Apple s implementation of the AirPlay protocol. These vulnerabilities can be abused to execute code or launch denial-of-service attacks against affected devices. Apple patched the vulnerabilities in recent updates. https://www.oligo.security/blog/airborne

• SANS Stormcast Tuesday, April 29th: SRUM-DUMP 3; Policy Puppetry; Choice Jacking; @sansinstitute at #RSAC

  SRUM-DUMP Version 3: Uncovering Malware Activity in Forensics Mark Baggett released SRUM-DUMP Version 3. The tool simplifies data extraction from Widnows System Resource Usage Monitor (SRUM). This database logs how much resources software used for 30 days, and is invaluable to find out what software was executed when and if it sent or received network data. https://isc.sans.edu/diary/SRUM-DUMP%20Version%203%3A%20Uncovering%20Malware%20Activity%20in%20Forensics/31896 Novel Universal Bypass For All Major LLMS Hidden Layer discovered a new prompt injection technique that bypasses security constraints in large language models. The technique uses an XML formatted prequel for a prompt, which appears to the LLM as a policy file. This Policy Puppetry can be used to rewrite some of the security policies configured for LLMs. Unlike other techniques, this technique works across multiple LLMs without changing the policy. https://hiddenlayer.com/innovation-hub/novel-universal-bypass-for-all-major-llms/ CHOICEJACKING: Compromising Mobile Devices through Malicious Chargers like a Decade ago The old Juice Jacking is back, at least if you do not run the latest version of Android or iOS. This issue may allow a malicious USB device, particularly a USB charger, to take control of a device connected to it. https://pure.tugraz.at/ws/portalfiles/portal/89650227/Final_Paper_Usenix.pdf SANS @RSA: https://www.sans.org/mlp/rsac/

• SANS Stormcast Monday, April 28th: Image Steganography; SAP Netweaver Exploited

  Example of a Payload Delivered Through Steganography Xavier and Didier published two diaries this weekend, building on each other. First, Xavier showed an example of an image being used to smuggle an executable past network defenses, and second, Didier showed how to use his tools to extract the binary. https://isc.sans.edu/diary/Example%20of%20a%20Payload%20Delivered%20Through%20Steganography/31892 SAP Netweaver Exploited CVE-2025-31324 An arbitrary file upload vulnerability in SAP s Netweaver product is actively exploited to upload webshells. Reliaquest discovered the issue. Reliaquest reports that they saw it being abused to upload the Brute Ratel C2 framework. Users of Netweaver must turn off the developmentserver alias and disable visual composer, and the application was deprecated for about 10 years. SAP has released an emergency update for the issue. https://reliaquest.com/blog/threat-spotlight-reliaquest-uncovers-vulnerability-behind-sap-netweaver-compromise/ https://onapsis.com/blog/active-exploitation-of-sap-vulnerability-cve-2025-31324/ Any.Run Reports False Positive Uploads Due to false positives caused by MS Defender XDR flagging Adobe Acrobat Cloud links as malicious, many users of Any.Run s free tier uploaded confidential documents to Any.Run. Anyrun blocked these uploads for now but reminded users to be cautious about what documents are being uploaded. https://x.com/anyrun_app/status/1915429758516560190
