#Okta #Vulnerability #UsernameBypass #IdentityManagement #AccessManagement #CyberSecurity #ForesightNews #SlowMist #Bcrypt #Authentication #ADLDAP #DelAuth
According to Foresight News, SlowMist's Chief Information Security Officer 23pds reported that Okta allowed any username exceeding 52 characters to bypass login.
Additionally, identity and access management software provider Okta announced that on October 30, an internal vulnerability was discovered while generating cache keys for AD/LDAP DelAuth. The Bcrypt algorithm was used to generate cache keys by hashing a combination string of userId, username, and password. Under specific conditions, this could allow users to authenticate by providing a stored cache key from a previously successful authentication. The prerequisite for this vulnerability was that the username must be equal to or exceed 52 characters each time a cache key was generated for the user. The affected products and versions were Okta AD/LDAP DelAuth up to July 23, 2024. This vulnerability was resolved in Okta's production environment on October 30, 2024.#Okta #Vulnerability #UsernameBypass #IdentityManagement #AccessManagement #CyberSecurity #ForesightNews #SlowMist #Bcrypt #Authentication #ADLDAP #DelAuth
🚀 ENS Developer Warns of Sophisticated Phishing Attack Exploiting Google Vulnerability
#ENS #phishing #Google #security #cybersecurity #malware #vulnerability #authentication #scam
According to Foresight News, ENS chief developer nick.eth has reported a highly complex phishing attack that exploited a vulnerability within Google's infrastructure. Despite the severity of the issue, Google has declined to address the flaw.
The developer explained that the phishing email appeared highly authentic, successfully passing DKIM signature verification and displaying normally in Gmail. It was even placed within the same conversation as other legitimate security alerts.
Attackers took advantage of Google's "Sites" service to create a seemingly trustworthy "support portal" page. This page misled users into believing it was secure due to the presence of "google.com" in the domain name.
Users are advised to exercise caution to avoid falling victim to such sophisticated phishing schemes.#ENS #phishing #Google #security #cybersecurity #malware #vulnerability #authentication #scam

According to PANews, recent reports from Cyata have revealed multiple zero-day vulnerabilities in HashiCorp Vault, a widely used tool for wallet and key management in the cryptocurrency industry. These vulnerabilities affect critical areas such as authentication, identification, and authorization. Some of these flaws can bypass lock and multi-factor authentication protections, potentially allowing attackers to execute remote code, posing a significant threat to infrastructure security. The Cyata team has collaborated with HashiCorp to address these issues. 23pds, the Chief Information Security Officer at SlowMist Technology, advises relevant organizations to promptly upgrade to the latest version to mitigate potential risks.#HashiCorp #Vault #Vulnerabilities #Security #Cryptocurrency #ZeroDay #Authentication #Authorization #RemoteCode #InfrastructureSecurity #Upgrade

🚀 Google Plans Post-Quantum Cryptography Transition by 2029
#Google #PostQuantumCryptography #PQC #QuantumComputers #Encryption #DigitalSignatures #Cryptography #QuantumThreats #Authentication #Cybersecurity
Google has announced its intention to complete the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by 2029. According to Foresight News, this move aims to address the potential threats posed by future quantum computers to current encryption standards.
Google highlighted that quantum computers could significantly undermine existing encryption methods, particularly affecting encryption and digital signatures. The threat to encryption is already evident through attacks such as 'store now, decrypt later,' while digital signatures face future risks that need to be addressed before the deployment of cryptography-related quantum computers (CRQC).
In response, Google has adjusted its threat model to prioritize the migration of authentication services to PQC. The company recommends that other engineering teams adopt similar strategies to safeguard against these emerging threats.#Google #PostQuantumCryptography #PQC #QuantumComputers #Encryption #DigitalSignatures #Cryptography #QuantumThreats #Authentication #Cybersecurity
