http-trane-info.nse: fix device attribution, 200-for-everything handling, nil crashes Pedro Joaquín (Oct 26)
Hi,
I'm the author of http-trane-info (Nmap 7.70).
PR #3581 fixes three bugs in it: installed equipment was reported with the
previous device's name/family/role from the second device onward, the
script crashed on firmware that omits a field in /evox/about, and the guard
against servers that answer 200 to every path let the "unknown"
identify_404 case through.

New OpenSSH composite key type in version 10. Loganaden Velvindron (Oct 20)
Hi nmap developers,
There has been a new key type released with OpenSSH v10 which is called:
"hybrid post-quantum ssh-mldsa44-ed25519 signature
algorithm."
I've opened a PR and would welcome feedback from nmap developers:

Request for review: Windows MaxUserPort / WSL2 networking fix (PR #3499) 山﨑結友 (Oct 03)
Hi all,
I'd appreciate a review of this PR:
https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/3499
Nmap's "Network Performance Improvements" installer option sets
MaxUserPort=65534. On Windows 11, I found that this changes the dynamic
port range from 49152–65535 to 1024–65534. This has been linked to WSL2
mirrored networking failures, with several users tracing the problem
to the Nmap installer:...
Re:New OS fingerprint: China Unicom ONT/ONU (Realtek/Boa) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Aug 01)
Hi Nmap developers,
I'd like to submit service fingerprints for a China Unicom GPON ONT (model PT927G) that I found in my home network.
This device runs a Linux-based firmware (kernel 3.18.24) and exposes several services.
**Device Information**:
- Model: PT927G
- Vendor: China Unicom (customized)
- Hardware hint: SMB share comment mentions "Realtek", suggesting a Realtek chipset.

Re:Correction: Huawei router misidentified as Netgear switch (fingerprint included) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Aug 01)
Hi developers,
I'd like to add a service fingerprint for port 37443/tcp on the Huawei AX3 router.
This port runs SSL/TLS and requires client certificate authentication (mTLS). When connecting with a self-signed client
certificate, the server rejects it with a "unknown ca" alert, indicating that it verifies the client certificate
against a trusted CA.
**Certificate details:**

Re:Correction: Huawei router misidentified as Netgear switch (fingerprint included) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Aug 01)
Hi Nmap developers,
Following up on my previous submissions (OS fingerprint and NSE script for the Huawei AX3), I've conducted a full port
scan and discovered two additional services that may help refine the service fingerprint database.
**1. Port 37215/tcp – UPnP**
- Service identified as: `Huawei ATP gateway upnpd`
- This seems to be already correctly matched in `nmap-service-probes`. I just wanted to confirm its presence.
**2. Port...

Correction: Huawei router misidentified as Netgear switch (fingerprint included) gbfdhenr (Liang Xiangan) (Jul 31)
Hi Nmap team,
I've encountered a clear OS detection misidentification that I believe should be corrected.
**Device in question**:
- A Huawei home router (MAC OUI: 30:A9:98 -> Huawei Device)
- Open ports: 53, 80, 443 (typical router/AP, not a headless switch)
- Running: Linux-based firmware (likely 3.18.24)
**Current incorrect result**:
Nmap 7.99 reports it as: "Netgear GS108Tv3, GS110Tv3, or GS308T switch (Linux 3.18.24)"...

Npcap Version 1.82 Released with VLAN Tagging and More Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Apr 28)
Dear Nmap Community,
In preparation for an imminent Nmap release (hopefully this week!), we have
released Version 1.82 of our Npcap Windows packet capture and transmission
driver. It builds upon the recent 1.81 release to add support for VLAN
tagging. This allows you to select for packets directed to a certain VLAN
or just inspect the VLAN headers on any packets received. It's especially
useful for Wireshark users. You can also now send...
Nmap 7.95 released: OS and service detection signatures galore! Gordon Fyodor Lyon (May 05)
Dear Nmap Community,
I just arrived in San Francisco for the RSA conference and am delighted to
announce our Nmap Version 7.95 release! I'm most excited that we finally
tackled our backlog of OS and service detection fingerprint submissions.
We're not talking about dozens or hundreds of them-we processed more than
6,500 fingerprints!
For OS detection, we added 336 signatures, bringing the new total to 6,036.
Additions include iOS 15...

Apache Struts2 Tiles Plugin <=7.4.0 and >=6.3.0 Preparer Cache Vulnerabilities Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure (Nov 04)
The Apache Struts2 Tiles plugin version <=7.4.0 (and >=6.3.0) codebase includes a `ViewPreparer` construct, replete
with multiple ViewPreparer factories, that contains several important vulnerabilities including unsynchronised,
unbounded caches. The lack of proper synchronisation means that certain factories will create caches that race,
risking lost cache entries, corrupted internal bucket states under load (this can result in infinite...
unixODBC <=2.3.14 Rude Truncation via Narrowing Conversion Causes Out-of-Bounds `memcpy` Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure (Nov 04)
unixODBC versions <=2.3.14 contain a rude truncation of a 64-bit `SQLLEN` `buffer_length` to a 32-bit `int` without
verifying that it produces a valid, positive value. The result is later passed to `memcpy`, causing the information
system to crash or, if carefully chosen, enabling attackers to write adjacent memory under certain circumstances (e.g.,
a buffer length that wraps to a small positive integer or triggers an undersized allocation...
unixODBC <=2.3.14 Multiple Races Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure (Nov 04)
The unixODBC driver manager library contains multiple races of importance / interest, including a set of data races in
the connection-pooling configuration state data that can cause one thread to read a half-written pool-size or timeout
value, which can lead to a variety of harmful effects, as well as a race between teardown and error-handling
functionality that can result in double-frees and use-after-frees. Other races exist within the...
unixODBC <=2.3.14 Multiple Heap Buffer Overflows, Underflows, and Over-Reads Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure (Nov 04)
unixODBC versions 2.3.14 and below contain multiple heap buffer overflows, underflows, and over-reads. Attackers who
can influence various arguments passed thereto can trigger the heap-based buffer overflows inside of the unixODBC
driver manager itself, potentially corrupting the shared heap state across connections, crash the driver manager
(thereby causing denial of service conditions, multi-tenant data loss, and such related issues,...
Apache Struts2 Core Arbitrary Code Execution via OGNL Sandbox Escape Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure (Nov 01)
Description
Apache Struts2 Core version 7.4.0 and below attempt to prevent arbitrary code execution via Object-Graph Navigation
Language (OGNL) through several different mechanisms but only in a cursory fashion -- the libraries only guard against
immediate calls evaluated by the OGNL engine via `SecurityMemberAccess`, but an allowed call that, instead, accepts
nested arguments and, itself, invokes reflection internally executes outside of the...
Apache Struts2 Core TokenHelper Token Cryptographic Timing Side-Channel Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure (Nov 01)
Description
The Apache Struts2 Core 7.4.0 and below performs session token comparisons cryptographically insecure early-exit
comparison functions (e.g., `!=`, `memcmp`, byte-by-byte loops with `break`) that return as soon as the first
mismatched byte is encountered. The execution time of the comparison is therefore proportional to the number of
leading bytes that match, creating a measurable timing side-channel. Importantly, this...
Apache Struts2 Spring Plugin Uses a Previously Closed Resource Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure (Nov 01)
Description
The Apache Struts2 Spring Plugin opens a Spring `ApplicationContex` via a try-with-resources block and, outside of said
block, then continues to use the closed resource, resulting in an uncaught `IllegalStateException`. This particular
issue prevents proper functionality and indicates poor code quality and code review standards and processes, while not
being, itself, otherwise excessively meaningful for a production environment...
Apache Struts2 Core Integer Overflow Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure (Nov 01)
Description
Apache Struts2 Core version 7.4.0 and below fails to properly prevent integer overflows, causing wrap-arounds and other
issues on a downstream forced casting into types smaller than `BigInteger`. Importantly, this finding underscores why
all applications using Struts and other such platforms should perform their own input validation checks and not blindly
assume that the upstream Struts2 code has done as such, but the finding also...
Apache Struts2 Core Cross-Origin Protection Exemption Miskeyed to a Deployment-Wide Path Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure (Nov 01)
Description
Apache Struts2 Core version 7.4.0 and below's `FetchMetadataInterceptor`, `CoepInterceptor`, and `CoopInterceptor` each

intended to exempt specific actions from the corresponding cross-origin protection -- against
`HttpServletRequest.getContextPath()`. `getContextPath()` is fixed for the entire deployed web...
Apache Struts2 REST Plugin Fails to Properly Parse Chunked Requests Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure (Nov 01)
Description
The Apache Struts2 REST Plugin's (version 7.4.0 and below) `ContentTypeInterceptor.intercept(ActionInvocation)` only
deserialises a request body and enforces the `struts.rest.content.maxLength` bound when
`HttpServletRequest#getContentLength()` returns a positive value. `getContentLength()` returns `-1` whenever the
`Content-Length` header is absent, which normal and appropriate for any Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)...
Apache Struts2 REST Plugin Untrimmed `Accept` Header Tokens Break Content Negation Fallback Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure (Nov 01)
Description
The Apache Struts2 REST Plugin's `DefaultContentTypeHandlerManager.getHandlerForResponse(HttpServletRequest,
HttpServletResponse)` splits the `Accept` header on commas and passes each resulting token directly to
`findHandler(String)` without trimming leading or trailing whitespace. `findHandler(String)` only retries a trimmed
lookup when a token contains a semicolon (`;`), so a token that merely carries a leading space has no...
Apache Struts2 JSON Plugin Insecure Deserialisation -- Object Deserialisation Element-Count Limit Bypass Daniel Owens via Fulldisclosure (Nov 01)
As of the current versions of the Apache Struts2 JSON Plugin (e.g., version 7.4.0 and the 7.5.0 snapshot dated 28
October 2026), attackers can bypass the element-count limit purported to protect Object deserialisation added to said
code as part of the WW-5618 and S2-072 "hardening controls". Please note that this vulnerability and the attack string
is different than the previously reported bypass against the JSON array...

Historically, “we’ve” moved the bar in defense.

preauthenticated sessions

Imbalances in the skills and workforce are real. The gap remains hard

AI buys us, because, at this stage, we want humans to be in the loop –
and for good reasons – and, also, cause we are not going to grow the
skillset faster than the attack surface, I am afraid.

How would one actually move the actual bar in defense? A big part of me

the number of organizations that you can rely on to actually make a

Re: "sshole": password authentication bypass: OpenSSH + musl libc Jacob Bachmeyer (Nov 06)
Does it even entirely work? What if there is no salt to borrow?
Thinking about this, I think I see another information leak: does sshd
produce a "fake salt" or fail the authentication quickly, thus leaking
the fact that no accounts on the box have a valid password?
There was a time when a salt could be assumed to exist, but that was
before cloud VM images that have no console and therefore can be

stayed stuck at the arguing stage: what crypt() actually hands back
when it fails, in each implementation, and Jeff's timing point. I
measured both, on my own machines — OpenSSH 10.6p2 built

Re: "sshole": password authentication bypass: OpenSSH + musl libc Matt Johnston (Nov 06)
I view avoiding account existence exposure as more of a
privacy feature than security.
If you iterate all the internet's ipv4 sshds (not hard) for
ones that accept say "pgut001", then you've found someone's
IP. Maybe that's already exposed in other ways, but maybe not.
As purely a security feature I agree the added complexity
isn't worth it.
Cheers,
Matt

Re: "sshole": password authentication bypass: OpenSSH + musl libc Loganaden Velvindron (Nov 06)
I've done some auditing of crypt() usage in the Linux ecosystem.
Most software is now handling NULL from crypt() but there are some issues like
https://github.com/InfrastructureServices/vsftpd/pull/9
I think it's time for musl libc to revisit the idea and return NULL on
failure and see
which software is still breaking.
The commit in musl dates back to 2012. A lot has happened since 2012:...

This.
If you liked it, you should have put vendor (and path,

If it's critical to your business, fund and act like it.
Otherwise, sure, you can save some bucks, but eventually the

Im not sure what your expectations of the NANOG community would be. You simply provided notice of an operator going out
of business for everyone to be aware of, but were you or your organization affected by this? Did you intend to have an
ask of the community to take action on? Most customers would surely have the ability to pivot or have alternative means
of connectivity and have begun to take immediate action on their own accord.
