New Supermicro BMC Vulnerabilities

Critical Security Alert: New Supermicro BMC Vulnerabilities Enable Persistent Backdoor Access

Ravi Jain
“Supermicro BMC Backdoors and Persistent Firmware Vulnerabilities,” is a critical security alert detailing newly discovered and sophisticated flaws in Supermicro’s Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) firmware, which allow attackers to create persistent backdoors that survive operating system reinstalls. Specifically, two vulnerabilities, CVE-2024-10237 and the more severe CVE-2025-6198 (which compromises the system’s Root of Trust), are explained as enabling access that traditional security tools cannot detect. The secondary source, an excerpt about the company Technijian, establishes itself as a managed IT services provider specializing in cybersecurity solutions and incident response, positioning their expertise to help organizations mitigate high-level threats like the Supermicro BMC vulnerabilities through specialized firmware analysis and strategic consulting. Both texts emphasize the need for urgent firmware updates and comprehensive security programs to counter these hard-to-detect, deep-level compromises in enterprise infrastructure. ... Read More

Russian Botnet Exploits DNS Vulnerabilities

Russian Botnet Exploits DNS Vulnerabilities to Launch Devastating Global Cyber Campaign

Ravi Jain
A highly sophisticated cyber campaign orchestrated by a Russian botnet that leverages two main vulnerabilities: misconfigured DNS Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records on approximately 20,000 domains and exploited MikroTik routers. These routers were converted into a large-scale SOCKS4 proxy network to mask the threat actors’ activities and distribute malware via spoofed DHL emails. The text explicitly warns that incorrect use of the permissive “+all” flag in SPF records completely negates email anti-spoofing protections, facilitating the attack. The accompanying source, which is an advertisement for Technijian, positions the company as a premier managed IT services provider that offers specialized solutions like DNS security audits and advanced email security to protect organizations specifically against the type of advanced threats described. ...
