Applied Systems Engineering ASE2000 V2 Communications Test Set

CISA warns ASE2000 V2 test sets allow arbitrary file read/write, outbound request abuse, and TLS peer impersonation; version 2.38 fixes both vulnerabilities.

CISA published ICS advisory ICSA-26-239-04 for Applied Systems Engineering (Kalkitech) ASE2000 V2 Communications Test Set versions 2.25 through 2.37. Exploitation could allow reading or writing arbitrary local files, forcing outbound network requests, or intercepting the TLS connection to impersonate the trusted peer and read or modify protected communications. Vendor ASE/Kalkitech provides upgraded version 2.38, which also updates the bundled log4net library, fixing both vulnerabilities; customers are advised to upgrade.

Forgery of C2PA on a Pixel 10

Researcher forged a Google Pixel 10 C2PA content credential with genuine signatures, showing root-level attackers can fake photo provenance.

A Hacker Factor blog post demonstrates an AI-generated 'unicorn glitter milk' news photo carrying a valid, cryptographically signed C2PA manifest traceable to Google's Pixel camera certificate chain, passing validation in Adobe Inspect and the CAI Verify tool with a verified timestamp. The author, working with UMBC's PASAWG working group, reported to Google and C2PA in November 2025 that root access on a Pixel device could sign arbitrary images as camera captures; after 90 days without resolution, details were published. The finding undermines C2PA Assurance Level 2 claims made for Pixel 10 Content Credentials.

Hackers Stole Flock’s Camera Software, Revealing How the Company Tracks Cars and People

Hackers who removed a Flock Safety license plate camera dumped its data, revealing person-detection capabilities and an encryption key stored unencrypted on the device.

A hacker collective calling itself stegan0gram physically removed a Flock Safety automatic license plate reader camera from a roadway, copied its storage, and shared the files with 404 Media, WIRED, and Distributed Denial of Secrets. Analysis found an encryption key in an unencrypted 'media' partition that unlocked videos of thousands of vehicle detections, with logs showing more than a million images generated in weeks. The software explicitly detects people, bicycles, and even bumper stickers, and records from one Georgia city were searchable by more than 2,000 agencies nationwide. The findings follow 2025 research by Jon Gaines documenting flaws enabling root-level access to Flock cameras.

3 Vulnerabilities Found on AvertX IP Cameras

Unit 42 disclosed three vulnerabilities (CVE-2020-11623/4/5) in AvertX HD838 and 438IR IP cameras; AvertX has released patches.

Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 researchers found three vulnerabilities in AvertX HD838 and 438IR outdoor surveillance cameras, which are rebranded Hikvision products: CVE-2020-11625 (user enumeration), CVE-2020-11624 (weak password requirements), and CVE-2020-11623 (exposed dangerous method/function). User enumeration responses facilitate brute-force attacks, the default admin credentials (admin/1234) are never enforced to change, and physical access to an exposed UART interface allows bootloader access and configuration modification. AvertX released a patch, removed the UART connector, and disabled the interface in the latest production batch.

Scans Targeting Hospitality Applications, (Wed, Sep 16th)

Scans from a bulletproof-hosting IP target the abandoned PIAF-HMS hospitality application, which contains numerous unpatched SQL injection flaws.

SANS ISC observed requests for /PIAF-HMS/ using the unusual user-agent Farez-Sorter/1.0, along with paths like /admin/, /ucp/, /hms/, and /hotel/, starting September 15 from the single source IP 94.102.49.125 (IP Volume, AS202425, a bulletproof hoster). PIAF-HMS, a PBX in a Flash Hospitality Management System, was last updated 10 years ago and a SQL injection vulnerability was reported recently; the code shows many injection flaws and lacks authentication and access control. The handler notes hotels are soft targets for personal data theft and guest MitM attacks, and asks for community insight on the campaign.

AI helps scammers build convincing antivirus renewal pages

Malwarebytes found scammers using AI to build polished fake antivirus renewal pages impersonating Avast, harvesting names, emails and phone numbers for follow-up fraud calls.

Malwarebytes analyzed a fake Avast renewal site targeting Belgian users in French, claiming a €129.99 Avast Premium Security renewal and collecting name, email address and Belgian mobile number through a cancellation form. Leftover code comments written in polite French and other stylistic clues suggest the page was generated with AI assistance, and the form was never connected to send data anywhere. The scam typically progresses to phone calls pressuring victims to install remote access software, and AI substantially lowers the barrier for producing polished, localized scam pages at scale.

From Infostealer Log to Marketplace Listing: A Technical Walkthrough of the Credential Theft Pipeline

Cyble walkthrough maps how infostealer logs move from endpoint infection through aggregation and enrichment to dark web credential marketplace sales.

Cyble breaks the credential theft pipeline into stages: infostealer execution harvesting browser credential stores, cookies, session tokens, crypto wallets, and FTP configurations; aggregation of stealer logs via C2 panels into bundled archives; parsing and enrichment against previously leaked datasets; and final listing on dark web marketplaces. Enrichment adds employer and role context that raises prices and enables credential stuffing across reused passwords. The report advises SOC teams to monitor stealer logs and marketplace chatter early rather than waiting for breach alerts.

LG accused of 'egregious invasion of privacy' over TV data collection

Gamers Nexus alleges LG smart TVs record audio and generate transcripts in standby while harvesting location, network, and device data for LG's ads business.

Researchers at Gamers Nexus claim LG smart TVs continued capturing audio after voice recognition activated, including in standby, producing plaintext transcripts, some stored locally and sent after reconnection. Testing reportedly found collection of IP addresses, location data, nearby Wi-Fi network details, and enumeration of unpaired local devices such as phones, routers, and PCs, with data flowing to LG Ads Solutions. The team is coordinating responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities including an alleged remote code execution flaw. LG says its TVs do not collect, record, or store ambient conversations and that voice recognition is optional.

O-CMS 1.0.0 Authenticated OS Command Injection via ai_cli_script

O-CMS 1.0.0 has an authenticated OS command injection in the ai_cli_script parameter, letting privileged attackers execute arbitrary commands.

O-CMS version 1.0.0 contains an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability in its AI CLI configuration functionality. An authenticated attacker with sufficient privileges can supply shell metacharacters and extra commands through the ai_cli_script parameter of /admin/settings/save. The attacker-controlled CLI value is then executed when the configured AI provider is tested via /admin/settings/test-ai.
