Microsoft Bookings – Facilitating Impersonation
Microsoft Bookings introduces a significant security risk by allowing end users to create fully functional Entra accounts without administrative oversight. These accounts, tied to shared Booking pages, can be exploited for impersonation, phishing, and email hijacking. Attackers could leverage this functionality to bypass security measures, gain unauthorised access to sensitive resources, and facilitate lateral movement within an organisation. Our blog explores these weaknesses in detail and provides recommendations for detection and mitigation.
Exploiting KeePass CVE-2023-32784
KeePass is a popular open-source password manager which allows users to securely store and manage their passwords in an encrypted database. On May 10 2023 a high risk vulnerability was discovered. This vulnerability allows an attacker with access to the system where KeePass is running to exploit the flaw by analysing a memory dump to extract the master password to the database.
The memory dump containing the password can include KeePass process dump, RAM dump of the entire system, hibernation files, or swap files. In this article we will extract the password from KeePass process dump.

CUPS Security Flaws
On 23rd September 2024, a zero-day vulnerability was highlighted by security researcher Simone Margaritelli in the Linux CUPS printing system, which gained widespread attention due to the unofficial CVSS severity rating of 9.9 allocated to it. Following the ever-growing attention and comparisons to catastrophic global security incidents such as Heartbleed and Log4J, further details emerged on the vulnerability, and the overall risk was found to be lower than first expected. However, the impact of a successful exploit is still agreed to be significant.
