Holes in Your Bitbucket: Why Your CI/CD Pipeline Is Leaking Secrets
(lien direct)
Written by: Mark Swindle
  While investigating recent exposures of Amazon Web Services (AWS) secrets, Mandiant identified a scenario in which client-specific secrets have been leaked from Atlassian\'s code repository tool, Bitbucket, and leveraged by threat actors to gain unauthorized access to AWS. This blog post illustrates how Bitbucket Secured Variables can be leaked in your pipeline and expose you to security breaches.  Background Bitbucket is a code hosting platform provided by Atlassian and is equipped with a built-in continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment (CI/CD) service called Bitbucket Pipelines. Bitbucket Pipelines can be used to execute CI/CD use cases like deploying and maintaining resources in AWS. Bitbucket includes an administrative function called "Secured Variables" that allows administrators to store CI/CD secrets, such as AWS keys, directly in Bitbucket for easy reference by code libraries.  CI/CD Secrets: CI/CD Secrets serve as the authentication and authorization backbone within CI/CD pipelines. They provide the credentials required for pipelines to interact with platforms like AWS, ensuring pipelines possess the appropriate permissions for their tasks. Secrets are often extremely powerful and are beloved by attackers because they present an opportunity for direct, unabated access to an environment. Maintaining confidentiality of secrets while balancing ease of use by developers is a constant struggle in securing CI/CD pipelines.  Bitbucket Secured Variables: Bitbucket provides a way to store variables so developers can quickly reference them when writing code. Additionally, Bitbucket offers an option to declare a variable as a "secured variable" for any data that is sensitive. A secured variable is designed such that, once its value is set by an administrator, it can no longer be read in plain text. This structure allows developers to make quick calls to secret variables without exposing their values anywhere in Bitbucket. Unless… Exporting Secrets from Bitbucket in Plain Text CI/CD pipelines are designed just like the plumbing in your house. Pipes, valves, and regulators all work in unison to provide you with reliable, running water. CI/CD pipelines are a complicated orchestration of events to accomplish a specific task. In order to accomplish this, these pipelines are highly proficient at packaging and deploying large volumes of data completely autonomously. As a developer, this creates countless possibilities for automating work, but, as a security professional, it can be a cause for anxiety and heartburn. Perhaps it\'s a line of code with a hardcoded secret sneaking into production. Maybe it\'s a developer accidentally storing secrets locally on their machine. Or maybe, as we have seen in recent investigations,  it\'s a Bitbucket artifact object containing secrets for an AWS environment being published to publicly available locations like S3 Buckets or company websites.  Bitbucket secured variables are a convenient way to store secrets locally in Bitbucket for quick reference by developers; however, they come with one concerning characteristic-they can be exposed in plain text through artifact objects. If a Bitbucket variable-secured or not secured-is copied to an artifact object using the artifacts: command, the result will generate a .txt file with

My research journey started with some basic Google searches and reading through articles on biomimicry. I also watched several documentaries and TED Talks that explained how animals and plants have influenced technological designs. Here is a detailed article on how space suits can benefit from biomimetics. Nature’s inspiration for innovation in Spacesuits and Cyber Defense Not only is nature beautiful to look at, but it is also providing us with fantastic ideas for solving complex technological problems. The concept of biomimicry, which refers to drawing inspiration from natural systems to address human challenges, is now trending heavily in fields such as cybersecurity and space exploration. Biomimicry involves the creation and development of materials, structures, and systems that are inspired by biological entities and processes. For thousands of years, humans have turned to the natural world as a source of inspiration for innovations across various domains, including transportation and entertainment. This approach has led to significant advancements, such as the design of aircraft inspired by the aerodynamics of bird wings and the development of anti-glare screens modeled after the intricate nanostructures found in moth eyes. By observing and emulating the unique characteristics of wildlife, we have continuously found ways to enhance our technological capabilities and improve the quality of our daily lives. This field not only highlights the ingenuity inherent in nature but also underscores the potential for sustainable and efficient design solutions drawn from the biological world Nature’s Influence on Cybersecurity Data Masking Inspired by Moths The humble moth, with its ability to blend into its surroundings, provides a perfect metaphor for data masking in cybersecurity. This technique involves hiding real data among fake data, thereby protecting sensitive information from prying eyes. Steganography and the Chameleon Similarly, the chameleon\'s ability to change its color to match its environment mirrors the practice of steganography in cybersecurity. This method involves hiding information within non-secret data, much like concealing a secret message within an ordinary-looking image or audio file. Digital watermarking in multimedia is a practical application of this technique, helping to secure copyrights by embedding invisible codes within files. Consider some applications in different industry verticals: Sacrificial systems and deception Inspired by how some animals like lizards can shed their tails to protect vital organs, healthcare cybersecurity could utilize "sacrificial systems" - offering up less critical systems or data as decoys to distract and study cyber attackers, buying time to strengthen protection of the most sensitive medical information.

“Dirty stream” attack: Discovering and mitigating a common vulnerability pattern in Android apps
(lien direct)
## Snapshot Microsoft discovered a path traversal-affiliated vulnerability pattern in multiple popular Android applications that could enable a malicious application to overwrite files in the vulnerable application\'s home directory. The implications of this vulnerability pattern include arbitrary code execution and token theft, depending on an application\'s implementation. Arbitrary code execution can provide a threat actor with full control over an application\'s behavior. Meanwhile, token theft can provide a threat actor with access to the user\'s accounts and sensitive data.   We identified several vulnerable applications in the Google Play Store that represented over four billion installations. We anticipate that the vulnerability pattern could be found in other applications. We\'re sharing this research so developers and publishers can check their apps for similar issues, fix as appropriate, and prevent introducing such vulnerabilities into new apps or releases. As threats across all platforms continue to evolve, industry collaboration among security researchers, security vendors, and the broader security community is essential in improving security for all. Microsoft remains committed to working with the security community to share vulnerability discoveries and threat intelligence to protect users across platforms.  After discovering this issue, we identified several vulnerable applications. As part of our responsible disclosure policy, we notified application developers through Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) via Microsoft Security Vulnerability Research (MSVR) and worked with them to address the issue. We would like to thank the Xiaomi, Inc. and WPS Office security teams for investigating and fixing the issue. As of February 2024, fixes have been deployed for the aforementioned apps, and users are advised to keep their device and installed applications up to date.  Recognizing that more applications could be affected, we acted to increase developer awareness of the issue by collaborating with Google to publish an article on the Android Developers website, providing guidance in a high-visibility location to help developers avoid introducing this vulnerability pattern into their applications. We also wish to thank Google\'s Android Application Security Research team for their partnership in resolving this issue.   In this post, we continue to raise developer and user awareness by giving a general overview of the vulnerability pattern, and then focusing on Android share targets, as they are the most prone to these types of attacks. We go through an actual code execution case study where we demonstrate impact that extends beyond the mobile device\'s scope and could even affect a local network. Finally, we provide guidance to users and application developers and illustrate the importance of collaboration to improve security for all. ## Activity Overview ### Data and file sharing on Android  The Android operating system enforces isolation by assigning each application its own dedicated data and memory space. To facilitate data and file sharing, Android provides a component called a content provider, which acts as an interface for managing and exposing data to the rest of the installed applications in a secure manner. When used correctly, a content provider provides a reliable solution. However, improper implementation can introduce vulnerabilities that could enable bypassing of read/write restrictions within an application\'s home directory.  The Android software development kit (SDK) includes the [FileProvider](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/core/content/FileProvider) class, a subclass of ContentProvider that enables file sharing between installed applications. An application that needs to share its files with other applications can declare a FileProvider in its app manifest and declare the specific paths to share.  Every file provider has a property called authority, which identifies it system-wide, and can b Tool Vulnerability Threat Studies Mobile Technical ★★★

From Assistant to Analyst: The Power of Gemini 1.5 Pro for Malware Analysis
(lien direct)
Executive Summary A growing amount of malware has naturally increased workloads for defenders and particularly malware analysts, creating a need for improved automation and approaches to dealing with this classic threat. With the recent rise in generative AI tools, we decided to put our own Gemini 1.5 Pro to the test to see how it performed at analyzing malware. By providing code and using a simple prompt, we asked Gemini 1.5 Pro to determine if the file was malicious, and also to provide a list of activities and indicators of compromise. We did this for multiple malware files, testing with both decompiled and disassembled code, and Gemini 1.5 Pro was notably accurate each time, generating summary reports in human-readable language. Gemini 1.5 Pro was even able to make an accurate determination of code that - at the time - was receiving zero detections on VirusTotal.  In our testing with other similar gen AI tools, we were required to divide the code into chunks, which led to vague and non-specific outcomes, and affected the overall analysis. Gemini 1.5 Pro, however, processed the entire code in a single pass, and often in about 30 to 40 seconds. Introduction The explosive growth of malware continues to challenge traditional, manual analysis methods, underscoring the urgent need for improved automation and innovative approaches. Generative AI models have become invaluable in some aspects of malware analysis, yet their effectiveness in handling large and complex malware samples has been limited. The introduction of Gemini 1.5 Pro, capable of processing up to 1 million tokens, marks a significant breakthrough. This advancement not only empowers AI to function as a powerful assistant in automating the malware analysis workflow but also significantly scales up the automation of code analysis. By substantially increasing the processing capacity, Gemini 1.5 Pro paves the way for a more adaptive and robust approach to cybersecurity, helping analysts manage the asymmetric volume of threats more effectively and efficiently. Traditional Techniques for Automated Malware Analysis The foundation of automated malware analysis is built on a combination of static and dynamic analysis techniques, both of which play crucial roles in dissecting and understanding malware behavior. Static analysis involves examining the malware without executing it, providing insights into its code structure and unobfuscated logic. Dynamic analysis, on the other hand, involves observing the execution of the malware in a controlled environment to monitor its behavior, regardless of obfuscation. Together, these techniques are leveraged to gain a comprehensive understanding of malware. Parallel to these techniques, AI and machine learning (ML) have increasingly been employed to classify and cluster malware based on behavioral patterns, signatures, and anomalies. These methodologies have ranged from supervised learning, where models are trained on labeled datasets, to unsupervised learning for clustering, which identifies patterns without predefined labels to group similar malware.

Understanding how Rationality, Deterrence Theory, and Indeterminism Influence Cybercrime.
(lien direct)
Understanding the factors influencing cybercriminal behavior is essential for developing effective cybercrime prevention strategies. Rationality plays a significant role in shaping criminal decisions, particularly through the lens of the rational actor model and deterrence theory. This blog explores how rationality influences cybercriminal behavior, focusing on the rational actor model, the concepts of deterrence theory, their implications for understanding and preventing cybercrime activities, and how Bayesian theory can help overcome indeterministic human criminal behavior to provide risk management. Brief History of Deterrence Theory: Deterrence theory has its roots in classical criminology and the works of philosophers such as Cesare Beccaria and Jeremy Bentham, who introduced the concept of deterrence as a means of preventing crime through the application of punishment. This idea became further developed during the mid-20th century when the theory of nuclear deterrence emerged as a prominent concept in international relations. The understanding of deterrence broadened to be applied not only in preventing nuclear conflict but also in the context of criminal justice. It was John Nash through his work in game theory that contributed significantly to the understanding of strategic decision-making and the potential for deterrence in various competitive situations. His insights were crucial in shaping the modern understanding of deterrence theory, particularly when applied to criminal decision-making and cybersecurity.[1] Explanation of Deterministic, Non-Deterministic, and Indeterministic: Deterministic: In the context of decision-making, determinism refers to the philosophical concept that all events, including human actions, are the inevitable result of preceding causes. This perspective suggests that given the same initial conditions and knowledge, an individual\'s choices can be predicted with certainty. In other words, under deterministic assumptions, human behavior can be seen as fully predictable.[2] Non-Deterministic: Non-deterministic views reject the idea that every event, including human actions, can be precisely determined or predicted based on preceding causes. Instead, non-deterministic perspectives acknowledge the role of uncertainty, chance, and randomness in decision-making. From this standpoint, human behavior is seen as influenced by a combination of factors, including personal choice, external circumstances, and unpredictable elements.[3] Indeterministic: Indeterminism represents a specific form of non-determinism. In the context of decision-making, indeterministic views emphasize the idea that certain events or actions, particularly human choices, are not entirely determined by preceding causes or predictable factors. Instead, they are seen as influenced by random or unpredictable elements, such as personal spontaneity, free will, or external factors that defy precise prediction.[4] The Indeterministic Nature of Cybercriminal Behavior: The indeterministic nature of cybercriminal behavior suggests that not all cybercrimes are the result of rational choices. Some individuals may engage in cybercriminal behavior due to impulsive actions, vulnerabilities in systems, or external pressures that override rational decision-making processes. These factors highlight the limitations of solely relying on rationality as an explanatory framework for cybercriminal behavior. Rationality and the Rational Actor Model in Cybercrime: The rational actor model suggests that cybercriminals are rational decision-makers who engage in a cost-benefit analysis before committing a cybercrime.[5] According to this model, cybercriminals weigh the potential benefits and costs of engaging in cybercriminal behavior and make a rational choice based on their assessment. The rational actor model assumes that cybercriminals have the capability to accurately assess the potential outcomes of their cyber actions and aim to maximize th Tool Vulnerability Studies Legislation Prediction ★★★

The Windows Registry Adventure #1: Introduction and research results
(lien direct)
Posted by Mateusz Jurczyk, Google Project Zero In the 20-month period between May 2022 and December 2023, I thoroughly audited the Windows Registry in search of local privilege escalation bugs. It all started unexpectedly: I was in the process of developing a coverage-based Windows kernel fuzzer based on the Bochs x86 emulator (one of my favorite tools for security research: see Bochspwn, Bochspwn Reloaded, and my earlier font fuzzing infrastructure), and needed some binary formats to test it on. My first pick were PE files: they are very popular in the Windows environment, which makes it easy to create an initial corpus of input samples, and a basic fuzzing harness is equally easy to develop with just a single GetFileVersionInfoSizeW API call. The test was successful: even though I had previously fuzzed PE files in 2019, the new element of code coverage guidance allowed me to discover a completely new bug: issue #2281. For my next target, I chose the Windows registry. That\'s because arbitrary registry hives can be loaded from disk without any special privileges via the RegLoadAppKey API (since Windows Vista). The hives use a binary format and are fully parsed in the kernel, making them a noteworthy local attack surface. Furthermore, I was also somewhat familiar with basic harnessing of the registry, having fuzzed it in 2016 together with James Forshaw. Once again, the code coverage support proved useful, leading to the discovery of issue #2299. But when I started to perform a root cause analysis of the bug, I realized that: The hive binary format is not very well suited for trivial bitflipping-style fuzzing, because it is structurally simple, and random mutations are much more likely to render (parts of) the hive unusable than to trigger any interesting memory safety violations.On the other hand, the registry has many properties that make it an attractive attack Tool Vulnerability Threat Studies ★★★★

Reducing Prompting Churn with Exploding Template Composition
(lien direct)
Engineering Insights is an ongoing blog series that gives a behind-the-scenes look into the technical challenges, lessons and advances that help our customers protect people and defend data every day. Each post is a firsthand account by one of our engineers about the process that led up to a Proofpoint innovation.   In the nascent world of large language models (LLMs), prompt engineering has emerged as a critical discipline. However, as LLM applications expand, it is becoming a more complex challenge to manage and maintain a library of related prompts.   At Proofpoint, we developed Exploding Prompts to manage the complexity through exploding template composition. We first created the prompts to generate soft labels for our data across a multitude of models and labeling concerns. But Exploding Prompts has also enabled use cases for LLMs that were previously locked away because managing the prompt lifecycle is so complex.  Recently, we\'ve seen exciting progress in the field of automated prompt generation and black-box prompt optimization through DSPy. Black-box optimization requires hand-labeled data to generate prompts automatically-a luxury that\'s not always an option. You can use Exploding Prompts to generate labels for unlabeled data, as well as for any prompt-tuning application without a clear (or tractable) objective for optimization.   In the future, Exploding Prompts could be used with DSPy to achieve a human-in-the-loop feedback cycle. We are also thrilled to announce that Exploding Prompts is now an open-source release. We encourage you to explore the code and consider how you might help make it even better.   The challenge: managing complexity in prompt engineering  Prompt engineering is not just about crafting queries that guide intelligent systems to generate the desired outputs; it\'s about doing it at scale. As developers push the boundaries of what is possible with LLMs, the need to manage a vast array of prompts efficiently becomes more pressing. Traditional methods often need manual adjustments and updates across numerous templates, which is a process that\'s both time-consuming and error-prone.  To understand this problem, just consider the following scenario. You need to label a large quantity of data. You have multiple labels that can apply to each piece of data. And each label requires its own prompt template. You timebox your work and find a prompt template that achieves desirable results for your first label. Happily, most of the template is reusable. So, for the next label, you copy-paste the template and change the portion of the prompt that is specific to the label itself. You continue doing this until you figure out the section of the template that has persisted through each version of your labels can be improved. Now you now face the task of iterating through potentially dozens of templates to make a minor update to each of the files.  Once you finish, your artificial intelligence (AI) provider releases a new model that outperforms your current model. But there\'s a catch. The new model requires another small update to each of your templates. To your chagrin, the task of managing the lifecycle of your templates soon takes up most of your time.  The solution: exploding prompts from automated dependency graphs  Prompt templating is a popular way to manage complexity. Exploding Prompts builds on prompt templating by introducing an “explode” operation. This allows a few single-purpose templates to explode into a multitude of prompts. This is accomplished by building dependency graphs automatically from the directory structure and the content of prompt template files.  At its core, Exploding Prompts embodies the “write it once” philosophy. It ensures that every change made in a template correlates with a single update in one file. This enhances efficiency and consistency, as updates automatically propagate across all relevant generated prompts. This separation ensures that updates can be made with speed and efficiency so you can focus on innovation rather th Malware Tool Threat Studies Cloud Technical ★★★

The content of this post is solely the responsibility of the author.  AT&T does not adopt or endorse any of the views, positions, or information provided by the author in this article.  In a digital era marked by rapidly evolving threats, the complexity of cybersecurity challenges has surged, pressing organizations to evolve beyond traditional, tech-only defense strategies. As the cyber landscape grows more intricate, there\'s a pivotal shift towards embracing methods that are not just robust from a technical standpoint but are also deeply human-centric. This also means that a significant percentage of employees, driven by the high demands of operational pressures, may engage in risky cybersecurity behaviors. Such statistics illuminate the urgent need for a more nuanced approach to cybersecurity—one that not only fortifies defenses but also resonates with and supports the people behind the screens. Integrating human-centric design with continuous threat management emerges as a forward-thinking strategy, promising a balanced blend of technical excellence and user empathy to navigate the complex cybersecurity challenges of today and tomorrow. Embracing the Human Element in Cybersecurity Diving into the realm of human-centric security design and culture, it\'s clear that the future of cybersecurity isn\'t just about the latest technology—it\'s equally about the human touch. This approach puts the spotlight firmly on enhancing the employee experience, ensuring that cybersecurity measures don\'t become an unbearable burden that drives people to take shortcuts. By designing systems that people can use easily and effectively, the friction often caused by stringent security protocols can be significantly reduced. Gartner\'s insights throw a compelling light on this shift, predicting that by 2027, half of all Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) will have formally embraced human-centric security practices. This isn\'t just a hopeful guess but a recognition of the tangible benefits these practices bring to the table—reducing operational friction and bolstering the adoption of essential controls. This strategic pivot also acknowledges a fundamental truth. When security becomes a seamless part of the workflow, its effectiveness skyrockets. It\'s a win-win, improving both the user experience and the overall security posture.
