Rankiteo Explanation :
Attack limited on finance or reputation

Description: The Maine Office of the Attorney General reported a data breach related to Bank of America on March 3, 2025, involving an inadvertent disclosure that occurred on February 18, 2025.

Merrill, A Bank of America CompanyBreach6034/2024
Rankiteo Explanation :
Attack with significant impact with internal employee data leaks

Description: On April 16, 2024, the Maine Office of the Attorney General disclosed that Bank of America suffered an **inadvertent data breach** caused by a **Merrill employee’s email error**, leading to the **unauthorized exposure of customer information**. The incident impacted **2,676 individuals**, including **18 Maine residents**, though the exact nature of the exposed data (e.g., financial details, personal identifiers) was not fully specified. In response, Bank of America offered affected individuals **two years of complimentary identity theft protection** via **Experian IdentityWorks™** to mitigate potential risks such as fraud or identity misuse. The breach did not involve malicious cyber activity like hacking or ransomware but stemmed from **human error**, highlighting vulnerabilities in internal data-handling protocols. While no evidence suggested exploitation of the exposed data, the incident underscored the reputational and operational risks associated with **employee-driven data leaks**, particularly for a major financial institution. The breach’s scope—though limited in scale—raised concerns about compliance with data protection regulations and the bank’s ability to safeguard sensitive customer information.

Bank of AmericaBreach85410/2024
Rankiteo Explanation :
Attack with significant impact with customers data leaks

Description: The Maine Office of the Attorney General disclosed a **data breach** affecting **Bank of America**, detected on **October 1, 2024**, and reported on **January 3, 2025**. The incident involved **unauthorized access** to sensitive personal information, compromising **414 individuals**, including at least one Maine resident. While the exact nature of the exposed data was not fully detailed, the breach was severe enough to warrant **24 months of free identity theft protection services via Experian**, suggesting the exposure of personally identifiable information (PII) that could facilitate fraud or identity theft. The breach highlights vulnerabilities in Bank of America’s data security measures, raising concerns over potential financial fraud, reputational damage, and regulatory scrutiny. Although the scale (414 individuals) is relatively contained compared to mass breaches, the provision of long-term identity protection indicates a high-risk exposure—likely involving **financial or identity-related data** (e.g., Social Security numbers, account details, or addresses). The incident underscores the persistent threat of cyber intrusions targeting financial institutions, where even limited breaches can have cascading consequences for affected individuals, including phishing attacks, unauthorized transactions, or credit fraud.

Description

FreePBX Endpoint Manager is a module for managing telephony endpoints in FreePBX systems. Versions prior to 16.0.96 and 17.0.1 through 17.0.9 have a weak default password. By default, this is a 6 digit numeric value which can be brute forced. (This is the app_password parameter). Depending on local configuration, this password could be the extension, voicemail, user manager, DPMA or EPM phone admin password. This issue is fixed in versions 16.0.96 and 17.0.10.

Description

Neuron is a PHP framework for creating and orchestrating AI Agents. In versions 2.8.11 and below, the MySQLWriteTool executes arbitrary SQL provided by the caller using PDO::prepare() + execute() without semantic restrictions. This is consistent with the name (“write tool”), but in an LLM/agent context it becomes a high-risk capability: prompt injection or indirect prompt manipulation can cause execution of destructive queries such as DROP TABLE, TRUNCATE, DELETE, ALTER, or privilege-related statements (subject to DB permissions). Deployments that expose an agent with MySQLWriteTool enabled to untrusted input and/or run the tool with a DB user that has broad privileges are impacted. This issue is fixed in version 2.8.12.

Description

Neuron is a PHP framework for creating and orchestrating AI Agents. Versions 2.8.11 and below use MySQLSelectTool, which is vulnerable to Read-Only Bypass. MySQLSelectTool is intended to be a read-only SQL tool (e.g., for LLM agent querying, however, validation based on the first keyword (e.g., SELECT) and a forbidden-keyword list does not block file-writing constructs such as INTO OUTFILE / INTO DUMPFILE. As a result, an attacker who can influence the tool input (e.g., via prompt injection through a public agent endpoint) may write arbitrary files to the DB server if the MySQL/MariaDB account has the FILE privilege and server configuration permits writes to a useful location (e.g., a web-accessible directory). This issue is fixed in version 2.8.12.

Description

Okta Java Management SDK facilitates interactions with the Okta management API. In versions 11.0.0 through 20.0.0, race conditions may arise from concurrent requests using the ApiClient class. This could cause a status code or response header from one request’s response to influence another request’s response. This issue is fixed in version 20.0.1.

The Auth0 Next.js SDK is a library for implementing user authentication in Next.js applications. When using versions 4.11.0 through 4.11.2 and 4.12.0, simultaneous requests on the same client may result in improper lookups in the TokenRequestCache for the request results. This issue is fixed in versions 4.11.2 and 4.12.1.
