Insecure Deserialisation: An Essential Guide for C-Suite

by

Insecure deserialisation refers to a scenario where an application deserialises data without validating its integrity or origin. This process, if compromised, can allow attackers to inject code, manipulate data, or trigger unintended operations within an application. For example, if an attacker injects crafted data into the deserialisation process, they could potentially gain control over the application server, extract sensitive information, or cause service disruptions.

Camfecting: The Growing Threat to Privacy and Business Security

by

Camfecting is the unauthorised access and control of a victim’s webcam or camera-enabled device by cybercriminals. Through the use of malicious software, hackers can activate a device’s camera without the user’s knowledge, allowing them to spy on individuals or record confidential business meetings. This form of attack is especially concerning as it is often difficult to detect and can be used for a range of nefarious purposes, including:

The HTTP Parameter Pollution (HPP): Protecting Web Applications with Robust Security Practices

by

HTTP Parameter Pollution, or HPP, is a type of web security vulnerability where an attacker manipulates HTTP request parameters to bypass input validation, inject malicious payloads, or alter the intended behaviour of a web application. By injecting additional parameters or manipulating existing ones, attackers can trick the server into processing unintended actions. This form of attack can lead to a range of exploits, including SQL injections, cross-site scripting (XSS), and even unauthorised access.

GPS Spoofing: A Silent Threat to High Net-Worth Individuals and Critical Infrastructure

by

In GPS spoofing, attackers generate counterfeit signals that mimic legitimate GPS signals, effectively deceiving the GPS receiver into providing incorrect location data. Spoofing attacks can alter a target’s perceived location, misdirecting navigational routes, obscuring asset tracking, or causing outright disruptions. Such attacks compromise the receiver’s accuracy and can lead to substantial navigation errors, disruptions in critical infrastructure, and even physical harm.

Exploitation of Zero-Day Vulnerabilities: A Critical Threat for CISOs

by

Zero-day vulnerabilities refer to security flaws in software or hardware that are unknown to the vendor. Until the vulnerability is discovered and patched, it remains a potential entry point for attackers to exploit. The term “zero-day” reflects the number of days the vendor has had to address the flaw—zero. Consequently, zero-day attacks are challenging to defend against because they exploit vulnerabilities before any fix is available, making them prime opportunities for cybercriminals.
