The keyword phrase circulating internal IRC channels, Slack workspaces, and dark web forums— "0day and hitlist week 01102024 work" —has become a loaded artifact. It refers to a specific confluence of unpatched zero-day exploits and a targeted "hitlist" of high-value assets that defined the threat landscape during that seven-day period.
For blue teams, the takeaway is clear: Patch management is dead as a primary defense. You must assume that a 0day exists on your perimeter right now. The "hitlist" is likely your own asset inventory, but sorted by an attacker’s priority, not yours. 0day and hitlist week 01102024 work
Due to the complexity of crafting a reliable trigger, only APT groups (specifically TA544 and DarkHotel) were seen using this in high-value spear-phishing campaigns. 1.3 Ivanti Connect Secure Pre-Auth Command Injection Perhaps the loudest event of week 01102024 was the public disclosure (and immediate exploitation) of a pre-authentication command injection in Ivanti ICS appliances. This 0day allowed unauthenticated attackers to run curl commands to fetch second-stage implants. Date: January 10, 2024 (Week 01102024) Author: Threat
For red teams, the "work" is never done. The exploits used during that week are now likely burned (detected by antivirus), but the methodology —targeting CLFS, V8, and VPN appliances—remains evergreen. For blue teams, the takeaway is clear: Patch
