Phishing protection is a feature to protect users against phishing attacks that aim at stealing their sensitive informations. Phishing is a commonly used technique used by cybercriminals. It is a type of social engineering attack that tricks users into clicking on a malicious link leading to an infected webpage where users are infected with a malware or their sensitive information gets stolen. An ideal phishing protection software prevents users from landing on the infected pages even if they click on the malicious link.
Anti-phishing is a security measure that is designed to protect individuals and enterprises from phishing attacks by cybercriminals .Anti-phishing helps in identifying and blocking phishing websites, emails, and other malicious content, and also helps in protecting the users from becoming victims of phishing scams
Anti-phishing software is a tool that organizations can use to ensure that their employees don't fall prey to phishing attacks. Phishing is a cybercrime where users are lured into clicking malicious links to steal sensitive data such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), banking and credit card details, and passwords. Phishing is also a popular method for cyber criminals to deliver malware by tricking victims to visit a link that can secretly install the malicious payload distributing trojan malware or ransomware, or execute javascript files from the infected website.. With more and more organizations being affected by phishing attacks, IT admins need to ensure that their users are protected against phishing attacks with a solid anti-phishing software.
An anti-phishing software helps IT admins ensure that users don't fall prey to phishing attacks. This can be achieved in two ways. IT admins can either mandate a lockdown on web, making sure that users can access only the trusted websites. Otherwise they can ensure that malicious websites are detected and blocked.
Since most of these phishing attacks are designed to redirect users to an infected webpage, the attacks are propagated through the browser. To battle against these attacks most browser vendors provide their own anti-phishing mechanism in the form of configurations that users can simply enable on their browsers.
The configuration once enabled, helps protect devices by showing warnings to users when they attempt to navigate to dangerous sites or download dangerous software designed to take over users' computers. Safe Browsing protects users from web-based threats like malware, unwanted software, and social engineering.
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, much similar to safe browsing, warns users when they attempt to visit phishing sites or websites infected by malware. If this configuration is enabled on users' browsers, it analyses the webpages that users visit and throws a warning to the user if the page is found to be suspicious. SmartScreen also checks the websites visited by users against a dynamic list of reported phishing sites and malicious software sites. If a match is found, access to the website will be blocked.
SmartScreen also checks files downloaded by the user from the web against a list of reported malicious software sites and programs known to be unsafe. If it finds a match, SmartScreen warns the user that the download has been blocked for their safety.
With many business applications shifting to the cloud, browsers are becoming the tool employees use most to access their work. So it should come as no surprise that hackers are following along in this trend with attempts to exploit organizations through browsers. Phishing is the most common cybercrime. This makes phishing protection a necessary layer of protection that IT admins need to incorporate to ensure users' security.
Phishing is a form of cybercrime in which criminals use emails, websites, and other online means to deceive victims into providing sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, and other personal information.
An anti-phishing software is an important tool for enterprises to protect their data from malicious cyberattacks. It can detect and block malicious phishing attempts before they reach the user, as well as alert the user to suspicious activity. With anti-phishing security, enterprises can ensure a safe online environment for their employees, and protect sensitive information from being compromised.
Certain configurations are provided by the browser vendors to keep users safe from phishing attacks. If these configurations are enabled on users' browsers, IT admins can rest assured that their networks are safe from web-based attacks. However, not all users are aware of these configurations. IT admins can use Browser Security Plus to configure these settings in a single click, and deploy them to users' browsers centrally, regardless of users' physical location. Once configured, users cannot override them, nor can they bypass the warning screen to access infected websites.
Tenable One Exposure Management Platform enables you to gain visibility across your attack surface, focus efforts to prevent likely attacks, and accurately communicate cyber risk to support optimal business performance.
A researcher at Tenable found an API restriction bypass vulnerability in ManageEngine Access Manager Plus (AMP) build 4301. The flaw results from HttpServletRequest.getRequestURI() not returning a normalized URI in com.manageengine.ads.fw.api.RestAPIUtil.isRestAPIRequest():
An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this to bypass checks on REST API URLs by using a URL like '/x/../RestAPI/'. This allows the attacker to access certain REST APIs that are not normally accessible.
The actions the attacker can do with these REST APIs include, but are not limited to, restarting the AMP server, creating a large number of attacker-controlled certificate files (i.e., to fill up the file system), and viewing information that is otherwise inaccessible.

The list of restricted script words is not sufficient to prevent malicious code execution in a custom scheduled script. A remote attacker with administrator privileges may delimit arguments with the comma (",") character to execute scripts containing restricted words (e.g. "echo") and ultimately execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM privileges.
The custom schedules page allows an administrator to create an action to be performed at a specified start time and repeated at a specified interval as desired. An "executor" can be specified such that a "Script" command would be launched. An example is listed in the user interface: "cmd /c CreateJiraTicket.bat". The developer has clearly made the decision to implement functionality that allows arbitrary shell command execution. However, the developer has also applied input sanitization to try to restrict the types of commands allowed.
Specifically, C:\Program Files\ManageEngine\ServiceDesk\conf\Asset\servicedesk.xml contains a "Script Restricted words" GlobalConfig element designed to restrict words allowed in the command. See below.
This functionality is enforced when a POST request is made to /api/v3/custom_schedules. For example, if the executor field is filled with 'echo "test" > C:\\test.txt' (not including the single quotes), a response message is returned indicating that "Restricted words [echo] are not allowed".
However, during input validation, when script commands are inspected to see if they contain any restricted words, the command is split into "words" (arguments) with the assumption that arguments are delimited by a space (" "). See the below code snippet with the containsScriptRestrictedWords() method:
