Vulnerability Spotlight: LibOFX Tag Parsing Code Execution Vulnerability
Summary: Cisco Talos disclosed a code execution vulnerability in LibOFX 0.9.11's tag parsing code, reported as TALOS-2017-0317 and discovered by Cory Duplantis, with a patch made available on 9/20/2017. Talos notes that organizations may not know the library is present in third-party or in-house software used to parse OFX files.
Key Takeaway: The exposure sits in a library many organizations never tracked directly, and Talos describes these vulnerabilities as particularly enticing to attackers - so the patch only helps if someone knows LibOFX is in the stack.
