🚨8 months after public disclosure, RHEL @almalinux.org @rockylinux.org are still vulnerable for a Ghostscript RCE with a reliable public exploit (CVE-2025-27835 and others)! It can be triggered by opening LibreOffice docs or through a server that uses ImageMagick for file conversion!

So CVE-2025-33073 (Reflective Kerberos Relay) has been added to CISA KEV. In the original writeup, SMB Signing (server-side) is listed as a mitigation for this vulnerability. HOWEVER...

We are happy to announce that we will be hosting our first ever CTF, Haix-la-Chapelle 2025, on the 29th of November!
It will be a Jeopardy style CTF and will start at 10 am Berlin time, lasting for 24 hours.

You can find the CTFTime event at ctftime.org/event/2951

See you there!

👀 Turns out MS-EVEN can do a lot more than NULL auth:

In addition to leaking environment variables, it is possible to coerce authentication from arbitrary logged on users* 🤯

*If you are willing to trigger Windows Defender.

We're excited to host our XSS workshop for RWTH Aachen University's SecLab, again. Today, the students will face XSS challenges as well as a hunt for IT security easter eggs to climb the leaderboard 🏆

Based on our testing, MS seems to have fixed CVE-2025-33073 by blocking the CredUnmarshalTargetInfo/CREDENTIAL_TARGET_INFORMATIONW trick!

🚨🚨🚨 Just a heads-up: Microsoft will release a fix for a vulnerability we discovered as part of Patch Tuesday, today. MS classified CVE-2025-33073 as "important" and we recommend patching soon.

Stay tuned for our blog post and paper about it tomorrow at 10:00 am CEST 🔥

Newer Windows clients often enforce signing ✍️ when using SMB fileshares.
To quickly deploy an SMB server with signing supported we implemented this in impacket's smbserver.​py based on a prior work by @lowercasedrm.bsky.social .
