Multiple Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities in Ingress NGINX Controller for Kubernetes

A series of critical vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-1974, CVE-2025-1097, CVE-2025-1098 and CVE-2025-24514) have been identified in the Ingress NGINX Controller for Kubernetes. These vulnerabilities allow unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) via crafted requests to the Validating Admission Controller and admission controller components of ingress-nginx. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities can lead to unauthorized access to all secrets stored across all namespaces in the Kubernetes cluster, potentially resulting in a complete cluster takeover. These issues have been patched in Ingress NGINX versions 1.12.1 and 1.11.5, users are strongly advised to upgrade. The IONIX research team developed and tested an exploit simulation on relevant assets to verify the vulnerability’s impact and assess potential exposure.

Authentication Bypass in Kentico Xperience CMS < 13.0.173 (CVE has not been assigned yet)

A critical authentication bypass vulnerability has been identified in Kentico Xperience CMS versions prior to 13.0.173. The vulnerability stems from an issue in the staging endpoint /CMSPages/Staging/SyncServer.asmx that allows attackers to forge requests and bypass authorization controls.
This vulnerability can be exploited to gain full control over affected Xperience instances, specifically those with staging enabled and configured to use username and password authentication. Instances using X.509 certificate-based authentication are not affected. The findings are detailed in this post. Kentico has released a hotfix addressing this vulnerability.

Authentication Bypass in Kentico Xperience CMS < 13.0.178 (CVE has not been assigned yet)

An authentication bypass vulnerability has been identified in Kentico Xperience CMS versions prior to 13.0.178. The vulnerability stems from a third-party library used by the product, allowing attackers to bypass the staging authentication mechanism. This issue affects only instances with staging enabled. Importantly, this vulnerability involves a distinct attack vector from the one addressed in hotfix 13.0.173. Administrators are advised to apply hotfix 13.0.178. For instances not using staging, an additional protective measure is to restrict access to the staging endpoint /CMSPages/Staging/SyncServer.asmx. This can be done by editing the node in the /CMS/CMSPages/Web.config file. To fully block access, set the authorization setting to . The findings are detailed in this post.

CVE-2024-52875 – Multiple vulnerabilities enable 1-Click RCE at Kerio Control

A critical vulnerability, CVE-2024-52875, has been identified in Kerio Control versions 9.2.5 through 9.4.5 including, affecting the security of systems using these versions. This vulnerability arises from two distinct issues: CRLF injection and Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), both caused by improper input sanitization on specific web pages. CRLF injection allows attackers to manipulate HTTP headers, which can lead to various response-splitting attacks, while XSS enables malicious scripts to execute in the context of a user’s browser. When these two issues are exploited in combination, they provide attackers with a pathway to escalate privileges and achieve 1 click remote code execution (RCE), significantly increasing the severity and impact of the vulnerability.

Critical Linux CUPS Printing System Flaws Could Lead to Remote Command Execution

CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) is a standards-based, open-source printing system. Recent several vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-47076, CVE-2024-47175, CVE-2024-47176, CVE-2024-47177) were discovered and are potentially allowing hackers to remotely run code on machines that expose the service over UDP (usually, on port 631).

It is recommended to block ports for UDP. It is a good practice to avoid open IPP services also over UDP.

As checking for affected UDP open services triggers a connection from the vulnerable machine to the attacking system, and relying on the fact that most of the detected vulnerable systems over UDP had open IPP service over TCP on the same port, IONIX marks assets as potentially affected based on services with open IPP ports (TCP). Notice, that having IPP service publicly open is also not a good practice, and we recommend to close it as well.

CVE-2024-20359 Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance and Firepower Threat Defense Persistent Local Code

A vulnerability in a legacy capability that allowed for the preloading of VPN clients and plug-ins and that has been available in Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to execute arbitrary code with root-level privileges. Administrator-level privileges are required to exploit this vulnerability.

This vulnerability is due to improper validation of a file when it is read from system flash memory. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by copying a crafted file to the disk0: file system of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected device after the next reload of the device, which could alter system behavior and persist across reboots.

CVE-2024-29059 – Leaking ObjRefs and Potential Remote Code Execution by Exploiting .NET Remoting

.NET Remoting allows invocation of methods across so-called remoting boundaries. Supported transports between the client and server include HTTP and TCP. .NET Remoting was already considered a legacy technology in 2009, but it is still in use due to the wide usage of ASP. NET (e.g., IIS, Sharepoint and others) and backward compatibility.
Leakage of ObjRef instances allows hackers to remotely manipulate the server, and in some cases to remotely run code on the server.
IONIX Exploit Simulation successfully simulated the leakage via a POST request to the “/RemoteApplicationMetadata.rem?wsdl” endpoint, but did not use the leaked ObjRefs to manipulate the server.
To remediate, update the ASP.NET application and verify that it does not leak ObjRef objects that could be used for attacking the server.

While a full exploit simulation is not available, the IONIX research team used a deeper version analysis to distinguish between patched versions and older, vulnerable ones.
The analysis leverages a change that was done in the patched version that blocks “chunk-encoded” malformed requests. Our testing tool sends multiple test requests to see that the assets are live and then sends a badly formed “chunk-encoded” probe that is expected to time out only on vulnerable versions.

CVE-2024-1071 – SQL Injection in Ultimate Member (WordPress plugin)

The Ultimate Member plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ‘sorting’ parameter in versions 2.1.3 to 2.8.2 due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query.
This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Akira Ransomware Group leverages Cisco CVE-2020-3259

According to CISA and other reports, an old vulnerability in Cisco ASA and FTD, CVE-2020-3259, is being exploited by the Akira Ransomware group (and others). This vulnerability involves an unauthenticated memory disclosure issue.
IONIX research team has conducted a scan for CVE-2020-3580, another Cisco ASA/FTD vulnerability. With high probability, assets that are vulnerable to CVE-2020-3580 are also vulnerable to CVE-2020-3259.
While the IONIX research team tests the feasibility of simulating a CVE-2020-3259 exploit non-intrusively, we recommend:
1. Use the IONIX platform to test whether you are vulnerable to spot assets that are vulnerable to CVE-2020-3580 (Action Items).
2. Review all the Cisco ASA assets. Notice that assets might be vulnerable to CVE-2020-3259 without being vulnerable to CVE-2020-3580.
3. For relevant assets, follow the guide by Cisco.
4. Keep an eye on security bulletins and updates from IONIX and Cisco

Local File Inclusion and potential RCE in Jenkins CVE-2024-23897

Jenkins 2.441 and earlier, LTS 2.426.2 and earlier does not disable a feature of its CLI command parser that replaces an ‘@’ character followed by a file path in an argument with the file’s contents, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller file system.
This leads to information leakage and potentially to remote code execution on the server.
