This week at BlackHat USA 2017, we announced a new research paper that details how an attacker can use a malicious email to exploit an endpoint running pgAdmin4 with a zero day attack. This kind of attack is possible by sending an email containing a specially crafted request, which asks the user to open or visit a specially crafted URL that exploits this vulnerability. In this case, our research team used Python Packages to demonstrate how easy it is for attackers to get past static defenses and take full control of vulnerable endpoints. We also released our newest tool for analyzing your own Python code - you can download it right now on Github.
