ZERO DAILY

Hacking, AppSec, and Bug Bounty newsletter

2017-11-27 | Why security is hard, Recon.sh, and Imgur’s speedy breach response time

Monday, November 27

TOP STORY

AI. Machine Learning. Buzzword. Bingo…Or so we say now. A group of ASU researchers claims that they can predict which vulnerabilities will actually be used for breaches through their model. And if this sounds familiar, see @mroytman’s O’Reilly Security talk on predicting exploitability which we shared here a while back. Also, Dan Miessler believes we’ll see AI in security ops centers sooner rather than later. What do you believe?

HACKTIVITY

Privilege Escalation using API->Feature [16 upvotes] - $1,500 bounty for this report to Ubuquiti Networks by @hacknroll.
Server-side cache poisoning leads to the http://my.dev.owox.com inaccessibility [12 upvotes] - no bounty for this report to OWOX Inc by @sp1d3rs.

TWEET OF THE DAY

This is a great RCE find. Also good example of why security is hard. This highlights third party packages, whitelist vs. blacklist, and trying to anticipate all possible use cases (not trivial) - @wh33lhouse

The standard for AI to become useful (and therefore prolific) within InfoSec is not being better than humans—it’s being able to do just about anything at all.
