Building a Digital Defense with Communications

The FBI’s Portland, Oregon office has published an advisory discussing best practices for communications, such as with personal and official email, messaging apps, and social media. As the advisory notes, users should be aware of the potential dangers of cyber attacks through these various channels and of the need to opt for secure methods of communication to reduce the likelihood of intrusion. The advisory groups best practices into encryption, message retention, and access.

Honeywell WIN-PAK (ICSA-20-056-05)

CISA has published an advisory on cross-site request forgery, improper neutralization of HTTP headers for scripting syntax, and use of obsolete function vulnerabilities in Honeywell WIN-PAK. WIN-PAK 4.7.2 and prior versions are affected. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities allows an attacker to perform remote code execution. Honeywell recommends users with potentially affected products take steps to protect themselves, which it has provided. CISA also recommends a series of measures to mitigate the vulnerabilities.

Moxa EDS-G516E and EDS-510E Series Ethernet Switches (ICSA-20-056-04) – Products Used in the Water and Wastewater and Energy Sectors

CISA has published an advisory on stack-based buffer overflow, use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm, use of hard-coded cryptographic key, use of hard-coded credentials, classic buffer overflow, cleartext transmission of sensitive information, and weak password requirements in Moxa EDS-G516E and EDS-510E Series Ethernet Switches. For both series, versions 5.2 and lower are affected. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could crash the device, execute arbitrary code, and allow access to sensitive information.

CISA has published an advisory on stack-based buffer overflow, integer overflow to buffer overflow, cross-site request forgery, use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm, information exposure, cleartext transmission of sensitive information, weak password requirements, cleartext storage of sensitive information, and incorrectly specified destination in a communication channel vulnerabilities in Moxa MB3170 series, MB3180 series, MB3270 series, MB3280 series, MB3480 series, and MB3660 series. Multiple versions of these products are affected.

ICS Year in Review – Vulnerabilities, Threat Landscape and Activity Groups, and Lessons Learned

ICS cybersecurity company Drago has just published a series of three year-in-review reports, what are intended to be a collection of its first-hand experiences hunting, analyzing, and combatting industrial adversaries that provide asset owners and the practitioner community with actionable defensive recommendations to reduce the overall risks associated with operating critical infrastructure.

New Jersey Fusion Center Report Assesses Threats to the State, U.S.

The New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness (NJOHSP) has published its 2020 Terrorism Threat Assessment, describing terrorist activities that occurred both in the state and in the overall U.S. in the past year and presenting its perspectives on terrorist trends to be on the lookout for. Its assessments of the threat levels associated with each type of threat actor are focused on New Jersey, but they apply to the wider U.S. as well.

Auto-Maskin RP210E, DCU210E, and Marine Observer Pro (Android App) (ICSA-20-051-04)

CISA has published an advisory on cleartext transmission of sensitive information, origin validation error, use of hard-coded credentials, weak password recovery mechanism for forgotten password, and weak password requirements vulnerabilities in Auto-Maskin RP210E, DCU210E, and Marine Observer Pro (Android App). Versions 3.7 and prior of these products are affected. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker to gain root access to the underlying operating system of the device and may allow read/write access.

Honeywell NOTI-FIRE-NET Web Server (NWS-3) (ICSA-20-051-03)

CISA has published an advisory on authentication bypass by capture-replay and path traversal vulnerabilities in Honeywell NOTI-FIRE-NET Web Server. Versions 3.50 and earlier are affected. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could result in an attacker bypassing web server authentication methods.
