Description: The Hilton hotel chain was accused of improperly handling two distinct cyberattacks that resulted in the exposure of its customers' financial information, and as a result, it agreed to pay Vermont and New York $700,000. According to the inquiry, thieves put denial-of-service malware on Hilton's payment systems, which would have exposed cardholders' personal information. The business is held accountable for the customers' delayed notice and is charged with having a payment method with inadequate security. Hilton will improve the security of its payment systems and internal incident response protocols as part of the settlement.
Description: The credit card details of numerous customers were leaked after common point-of-sale registers in gift shops and restaurants at a large number of Hilton Hotel was compromised. Hilton hotel apologized to all the customers and investigated the incident with the data security team. The hotel was also fined $700K for the breach.
Description: In November 2015, the California Office of the Attorney General disclosed that Hilton Worldwide suffered a malware-driven data breach targeting its point-of-sale (POS) systems. The attack compromised payment card data of customers who made transactions at Hilton hotels during two distinct periods: November 18–December 5, 2014, and April 21–July 27, 2015. The exposed information included cardholder names, payment card numbers, security codes, and expiration dates, though addresses and PINs remained unaffected. The breach stemmed from unauthorized malware infiltrating Hilton’s POS environment, enabling attackers to harvest sensitive financial details during transactions. While the exact number of affected customers was not specified, the prolonged exposure window heightened risks of fraudulent card activity, identity theft, and financial losses for victims. Hilton took remedial actions, including enhancing payment security protocols and collaborating with law enforcement. However, the incident underscored vulnerabilities in hospitality sector cybersecurity, particularly in safeguarding customer financial data against evolving malware threats. The breach did not involve ransomware or broader systemic disruptions but focused solely on payment card exploitation during the specified timeframes.

SummaryA command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) has been found to exist in the `wrangler pages deploy` command. The issue occurs because the `--commit-hash` parameter is passed directly to a shell command without proper validation or sanitization, allowing an attacker with control of `--commit-hash` to execute arbitrary commands on the system running Wrangler. Root causeThe commitHash variable, derived from user input via the --commit-hash CLI argument, is interpolated directly into a shell command using template literals (e.g., execSync(`git show -s --format=%B ${commitHash}`)). Shell metacharacters are interpreted by the shell, enabling command execution. ImpactThis vulnerability is generally hard to exploit, as it requires --commit-hash to be attacker controlled. The vulnerability primarily affects CI/CD environments where `wrangler pages deploy` is used in automated pipelines and the --commit-hash parameter is populated from external, potentially untrusted sources. An attacker could exploit this to: * Run any shell command. * Exfiltrate environment variables. * Compromise the CI runner to install backdoors or modify build artifacts. Credits Disclosed responsibly by kny4hacker. Mitigation * Wrangler v4 users are requested to upgrade to Wrangler v4.59.1 or higher. * Wrangler v3 users are requested to upgrade to Wrangler v3.114.17 or higher. * Users on Wrangler v2 (EOL) should upgrade to a supported major version.
