Introduction
Welcome to the October 2023 edition of Nuclei Templates Monthly Release. The cyber landscape continues to evolve with new, significant CVEs making waves in the community. This month, we're spotlighting a range of serious vulnerabilities including:
- F5 BIG-IP's - Unauthenticated RCE via AJP Smuggling
- NextGen Mirth Connect's - Remote Code Execution
- Viessmann Vitogate 300's - Remote Code Execution
- Citrix Bleed - Leaking Session Tokens
- JetBrains TeamCity < 2023.05.4 - Remote Code Execution
- Sitecore - Remote Code Execution
- Microsoft SharePoint - Authentication Bypass
- Atlassian Confluence - Privilege Escalation
These CVEs have garnered substantial attention due to their potential impact on network security and data integrity. For instance, the unauthenticated RCE in F5 BIG-IP systems could provide attackers with unauthorized access to sensitive systems. The discoveries highlight the ever-urgent need for robust security measures and continuous vigilance in the face of evolving cyber threats. Our latest releases encapsulate these, along with other notable CVEs, furnishing the security community with vital tools to tackle these looming threats head-on.
New Templates Added
We are excited to announce the addition of 255 new templates to the Nuclei Templates project. These templates cover a wide range of security checks, from trending CVEs to templates for newly supported protocols in Nuclei v3, empowering you to identify potential vulnerabilities efficiently. The contributions from our dedicated community have been immeasurably valuable in expanding the breadth of Nuclei's capabilities, and we extend our gratitude to all those involved.
