Microsoft Windows NTLMv2 Hash Disclosure Spoofing Vulnerability — Microsoft Windows contains an NTLMv2 hash spoofing vulnerability that could result in disclosing a user's NTLMv2 hash to an attacker via a file open operation. The attacker could then leverage this hash to impersonate that user. Listed in the CISA KEV catalog (added 2024-11-12) — confirmed exploited in the wild, not theoretical. FIRST EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at ~82%. Treat it as real and prioritize remediation over triage.
- 0
Required action for Microsoft Windows: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. CISA set a federal remediation due date of 2024-12-03. After patching, verify the vulnerable path is no longer reachable before closing the finding.

Snowflake SQLAlchemy versions prior to 1.11.0 contain several security vulnerabilities, including: Improper handling of user-supplied column identifiers in merge operations could allow SQL injection through attacker-controlled input keys. An attacker may be able to exploit this through request field names in a dynamic upsert endpoint, potentially enabling read access to data visible to the application's database role or modification of values within the same MERGE statement. Improper literal rendering of bound parameters when building certain Snowflake-specific table creation queries could allow SQL injection. An attacker may be able to exploit this by supplying a crafted string to any application endpoint that passes user-controlled data through the affected query-building API, potentially causing arbitrary data exfiltration within the scope of the connection role. Improper forwarding of connection configuration parameters could allow an attacker to cause the library to read arbitrary local files and transmit their contents to an attacker-controlled endpoint. An attacker may be able to exploit this in deployment environments that accept user-controlled connection parameters, potentially exposing sensitive files accessible to the application process. The fix is available in Snowflake SQLAlchemy version 1.11.0. Users must manually upgrade.
