• No Alloc, No Problem: Leveraging Program Entry Points for Process Injection. Up your process injection game with some lesser known techniques.
• FortiNAC - Just a few more RCEs. "Shortly after the first CVE-2022-39952 disclosures I thought, why not looking at this product in the patched version 9.4.1 to find some more vulnerabilities?" Love it.

• Advisory: IDOR in Microsoft Teams Allows for External Tenants to Introduce Malware. This was reported and "did not meet the bar for immediate servicing." "When this vulnerability is combined with social engineering via Teams it becomes very easy to start a back-and-forth conversation, jump on a call, share screens, and more. By comparison, it makes social engineering via email feel very stagnant, and stop-start." Guess what I am trying out tomorrow?
