The CL0P Ransomware Group, also known as TA505, has exploited zero-day vulnerabilities across a series of file transfer solutions since December 2020. File transfer solutions often contain sensitive information from a variety of organizations. This stolen information is used to extort victims to pay ransom demands. In 2023, CL0P claimed credit for the exploitation of vulnerabilities in both Fortra’s GoAnywhere Managed File Transfer (MFT) and Progress Software’s MOVEit Transfer solutions.

Research conducted as part of security audits has revealed additional vulnerabilities. This dashboard contains a list of vulnerabilities known to be exploited by the CL0P ransomware group as well as other vulnerabilities that could be leveraged by CL0P and other threat actors. Operations teams can use this data to identify the assets affected by the associated CVEs targeted by the CL0P ransomware group. The following Nessus plugins identify the affected vulnerabilities:

•  90190: Progress MOVEit Transfer Installed (Windows)
• 176735: Progress MOVEit Transfer Web Interface Detection
• 176736: Progress MOVEit Transfer FTP Detection
• 176567: Progress MOVEit Transfer
• 177371: Progress MOVEit Transfer Critical Vulnerability (June 15, 2023)

The dashboard and its components are available in the Tenable.sc Feed, a comprehensive collection of dashboards, reports, assurance report cards and assets. The dashboard can be easily located in the Tenable Security Center Feed under the category Security Industry Trends.

The requirements for this dashboard are:

• Tenable Security Center 6.1.1

The following components are included in this dashboard are:

Research Advisories - Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway: In August 2023, Mandiant identified a zero-day exploitation impacting NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway appliances. When NetScaler ADC or NetScaler Gateway is configured as a gateway (VPN virtual server, ICA Proxy, CVPN, RDP Proxy) or as an AAA virtual server, an unauthenticated attacker could exploit the device in order to hijack an existing authenticated session. Depending on the permissions of the account they have hijacked, this could allow the attacker to gain additional access within a target environment and collect other account credentials. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to bypass multi factor authentication (MFA) requirements.

Research Advisories - curl Heap Overflow and Cookie Injection: On October 3, an open-source developer and maintainer of curl, took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce that a new high severity CVE would be fixed in curl 8.4.0. The developer noted that the release would be ahead of schedule and released on October 11, indicating in a reply to the twitter thread that this is 'the worst security problem found in curl in a long time.' 

Research Advisories - MOVEit: The CL0P Ransomware Group, also known as TA505, has exploited zero-day vulnerabilities across a series of file transfer solutions since December 2020. File transfer solutions often contain sensitive information from a variety of organizations. This stolen information is used to extort victims to pay ransom demands. In 2023, CL0P claimed credit for the exploitation of vulnerabilities in both Fortra’s GoAnywhere Managed File Transfer (MFT) and Progress Software’s MOVEit Transfer solutions. 

Research Advisories - log4shell: This matrix alerts organizations to potential concerns regarding the Log4j vulnerability. Displayed are the vulnerabilities that are directly associated with the log4shell CVEs (CVE-2021-44228, CVE-2021-44832, CVE-2021-45046, CVE-2021-4104, and CVE-2021-45105) and Log4j installations. 

Research Advisories - CISA Alerts AA22-011A and AA22-047A: On November 3rd, 2021, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01, and on Jan 11, 2022 CISA issued an alert (AA22-011A) warning of increased risk to U.S. critical infrastructure.  A total of 18 CVEs can be associated with this alert.  Hosts and Vulnerabilities identified and mitigated are displayed using the referenced CVE. 

Research Advisories - PrintNightmare: On July 1, Microsoft released an advisory for CVE-2021-34527. This advisory was released in response to public reports about a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2021-1675, a similar vulnerability in the Windows Print Spooler. To help clear up confusion about the vulnerability, Microsoft updated its advisory for CVE-2021-1675 to clarify that it is similar but distinct from CVE-2021-34527. On July 6, Microsoft updated its advisory to announce the availability of out-of-band patches for CVE-2021-34527, a critical vulnerability in its Windows Print Spooler that researchers are calling PrintNightmare. This remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability affects all versions of Microsoft Windows. 

Research Advisories - MS Exchange ProxyLogon: On March 2, 2021 Microsoft released several critical security updates for zero-day Microsoft Exchange Server vulnerabilities, and reported that the exploits are actively being exploited by threat actors. Within a single week thousands of organizations world-wide have fallen victim. Tenable released several plugins for Exchange Server 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2019, which can be used to determine which Exchange Server systems are vulnerable in your environment.

The true story of three intrepid people who successfully eluded the Japanese in Manila for more than two years, sabotaging enemy efforts and preparing the way for MacArthur's return. One was a debonair polo-playing expatriate businessman who was also a U.S. Navy intelligence officer. Another was a defiant enlisted American soldier. And the third was a wily American woman, an intinerant torch singer with many names and almost as many husbands. With ample doses of intrigue, drama, skulduggery, sacrifice, and romance, this book has all the complicated heroism and villainy of the best war novels. But it is, in the end, a true tale of courage when it counted the most. -- adapted from book jacket.

Continuing our Spotlight On Women Directors series, Nocturnes is a 2024 documentary on how moths convey a mysterious message.

In the dense forests of the Eastern Himalayas, moths are whispering something to us. In the dark of night, two curious observers shine a light on this secret universe. Together, they are on an expedition to decode these nocturnal creatures in a remote ecological “hot spot” on the border of India and Bhutan. The result is a deeply immersive film that transports audiences to a rarely-seen place and urges us all to look more closely at the hidden interconnections of the natural world. From directors Anirban Dutta and Anupama Srinivasan.

This screening is FREE and open to the public (must reserve free tickets/RSVP in advance)

Mean field games model the strategic interaction among a large number of players by reducing the problem to two entities: the statistical distribution of all players on the one hand and a representative player on the other. The master equation, introduce by Lions, models this interaction in a single equation, whose independent variables are time, state, and distribution. It can be viewed as a nonlinear transport equation on an infinite dimensional space. Solving this transport equation by the method of characteristics is essentially equivalent to finding the unique Nash equilibrium. When the equilibrium is not unique, we seek selection principles, i.e. how to determine which equilibrium players should follow in practice. A natural question, from the mathematical point of view, is whether entropy solutions can be used as a selection principle. We will examine certain classes of mean field games to show that the question is rather subtle and yields both positive and negative results.
