Axios npm Supply Chain Attack
North Korean State-Sponsored RAT Distribution
CRITICAL
State-sponsored supply chain compromise of the Axios npm library. Malicious versions silently installed a RAT on any machine that updated during a three-hour window on March 31, 2026. Windows, macOS, and Linux affected. IOCs, detection commands, and remediation steps documented.

BCY-ADV-2026-002 — CVE-2017-0144 — CVSS 8.8
EternalBlue — SMBv1 Remote Code Execution
WannaCry · NotPetya · No Authentication Required
CRITICAL 8.8
Unauthenticated RCE via crafted SMBv1 packets. Weaponized by WannaCry and NotPetya. KEV listed. Still actively exploited on unpatched and misconfigured systems. One vulnerable machine can pivot to full network compromise.

WPAD Proxy Hijack — Network Traffic Interception
Same-Network Attack · All Web Traffic at Risk
HIGH 7.5
Windows WPAD protocol mishandles proxy discovery, allowing any attacker on the same network to intercept all web traffic silently. Particularly dangerous in shared network environments including hospitality properties.

Spectre & Meltdown — CPU Speculative Execution
Hardware-Level · OS & Microcode Mitigations Required
MEDIUM 5.6
Hardware-level speculative execution vulnerabilities affecting virtually all modern CPUs. Allows side-channel extraction of sensitive data from memory. OS and microcode patches available and must be verified active.

LLMNR & NBT-NS Poisoning — Responder
Silent Credential Theft · No User Interaction Required
TECHNIQUE
Protocol-level design weakness. Attackers use Responder to answer broadcast name resolution queries and harvest NTLM credential hashes silently. Any device on the same network is at risk. Particularly effective in shared environments.

LSASS Credential Dumping — Mimikatz
Password Hash Extraction · BYOVD Bypass Risk
TECHNIQUE
Mimikatz and variants exploit legitimate LSASS memory access to dump plaintext passwords and NTLM hashes. LSASS PPL blocks commodity tools. Advanced BYOVD bypasses exist but require elevated privileges and driver deployment.

Pass-the-Hash via RDP
Authentication Abuse · No Plaintext Password Needed
TECHNIQUE
Captured NTLM hashes used to authenticate as users without knowing plaintext passwords. RDP is a primary delivery vector. Restricted Admin mode blocks this technique entirely at the protocol level.

PowerShell Living-Off-the-Land Scripting
Built-In Abuse · CLM Mitigation
TECHNIQUE
PowerShell is abused in the majority of modern intrusions because it is trusted, built in, and capable of nearly anything. Constrained Language Mode significantly raises the cost of commodity attacks without removing legitimate admin capability.

USB & Removable Media AutoRun Malware
Physical Vector · No User Interaction on Insertion
TECHNIQUE
AutoRun and AutoPlay allow malicious payloads on USB drives to execute automatically on insertion without user interaction. Configuration weakness — not a software bug. One registry key eliminates this entire attack class.

Default & Predictable Account Names
First Target in Every Automated Scan
CONFIG
Default Windows account names are hardcoded into every attacker toolset and targeted first in automated credential attacks. A single rename and a 12-character complexity policy closes this vector entirely at zero cost.
