Vulnerabilities via 'setup-config.php' page.
CVE: CVE-2011-4899

The WordPress 'setup-config.php' installation page allows users to install
WordPress in local or remote MySQL databases. This typically requires a user
to have valid MySQL credentials to complete.  However, a malicious user can
host their own MySQL database server and can successfully complete the
WordPress installation without having valid credentials on the target system.

After the successful installation of WordPress, a malicious user can inject
malicious PHP code via the WordPress Themes editor.  In addition, with control

phpList Improper Access Control and Information Leakage vulnerabilities

1) Anybody possessing a valid uid can forward any message of the system 
to an email address of his choice. One possible way of obtaining an uid 
is to register to a publicly available mailing list. The user's uid 
appears in every user's registration confirmation email.
Just by iterating on mid, a malicious user can see and forward to 
himself any message that has been previously sent by phpList -- even 
messages belonging to hidden (private) mailing lists, or to mailing 
lists to which he's not subscribed. E.g.:

Active Gmail "Sidejacking" - https is NOT ENOUGH

It turns out that independent of Mr. Graham's work, I have also been
investigating these types of attacks as they pertained to users'
safety while they use the Tor network.

As I presented in my Black Hat and DefCon talks on Securing the Tor
Network, it turns out that using https for accessing mail.google.com
is not sufficient to protect you from many "Sidejacking" attacks. The
'GX' authentication cookie for mail.google.com is set to be
transmitted for any type of connection (http or https). This is the
only cookie one needs to authenticate to gmail.

BH USA CFP closing next Tuesday

Hey guys, just a reminder that the CFP for Black Hat USA is closing next Tuesday.

I'll post the first batch of acceptances next week.. some really solid stuff this year from hacking ATM machines and lock picking forensics to Injecting agents into VM guest OS and myths of Extended Validation SSL certificates.

Announcement: Releasing CORE GRASP for PHP. An open source, dynamic web application protection system.

CORE GRASP for PHP is a web-application protection software aimed at
detecting and blocking injection vulnerabilities and privacy violations.
As mentioned during its presentation at Black Hat USA 2007, GRASP is
being released as open source under the Apache 2.0 license and can be
obtained from http://gasp.coresecurity.com/.

The present implementation protects PHP 5.2.3 against SQL-injection
attacks for the MySQL engine, it can be installed with almost the same
effort as the PHP engine, both in Unix and Windows systems, and
protection is immediate with any PHP web application running in the

CORE-2011-0919: Apple OS X Sandbox Predefined Profiles Bypass

no-network profile may have access to network resources through the
use of Apple events to invoke the execution of other applications not
directly restricted by the sandbox.

It is worth mentioning that a similar issue was reported by Charlie
Miller in his talk at Black Hat Japan 2008 [2]. He mentioned a few
processes sandboxed by default as well as a method to circumvent the
protection. Sometime after the talk, Apple modified the mentioned
profiles by restricting the use of Apple events but did not modify the
generic profiles.
