New Ruckus Unleashed Product Line Exploit Discovered by SAM Seamless Network
Vulnerability enables attacker to remotely gain full control over network devices. Ruckus has issued a patch for affected products
TEL-AVIV, Israel, Aug. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — SAM Seamless Network (SAM), the global leader of cloud-native security and intelligence services for unmanaged networks and IoTs, has discovered a vulnerability affecting 31 networking products from RUCKUS® Networks, part of CommScope (NASDAQ: COMM), a provider of products and solutions for wired and wireless networks. By exploiting this vulnerability an attacker can remotely gain full control over these Ruckus network devices. SAM has reported its findings to Ruckus, and is now disclosing them publicly after Ruckus had taken the necessary steps to rectify the situation.
The authenticated remote command execution vulnerability was found in the “Ruckus Unleashed” product line’s firmware (R510_200.14.6.1.179), and 31 products that are using the same web-based management interface version of Ruckus Unleashed are affected.
SAM’s cybersecurity researchers discovered the flaw in an internal daemon associated with the web server, which manifests itself while parsing specific messages within one of the web components. The exploit can be triggered relatively quickly, if the attacker has LAN/WAN access to the AP’s management interface. Upon successful exploitation, an attacker gains full control over the remote Ruckus Unleashed device, obtaining a fully privileged root shell.
This vulnerability exposes networks based on the affected devices to the risk of an attacker installing malware on the Ruckus AP, or gaining unauthorized access to the Ruckus mesh topology, connected client traffic, and other critical information.
A CVE ID from MITRE is pending (as of July 31, 2023).
SAM had reached out to Ruckus and provided its findings. Ruckus had promptly responded, and had communicated effectively with SAM from the initial vulnerability submission until the resolution of this issue. Ruckus’ disclosure of this vulnerability and additional details on relevant patches related to affected products can be found in Ruckus’ Security Bulletin 20230731 at this link.
SAM’s cybersecurity solutions, which are protecting home and business networks at some of the world’s largest ISPs, secure the network by protecting the router, the network and the devices connected to the network – and require no software installation on any of the end user’s devices. SAM’s device fingerprinting technology is used to identify the devices on the network and any change in device roster, and enables not only constant awareness to any abnormal device or network behavior, but a truly seamless and automated “no touch” user onboarding and continuous operation.
“SAM has a proactive approach to IoT security, and an ongoing commitment to detect and defend against cybersecurity attacks, invasion of privacy, and personal information theft,” said Sivan Rauscher, CEO and Co-founder of SAM Seamless Network. “Having our own dedicated team of cybersecurity researchers enables SAM to not only incorporate updated cybersecurity mitigation practices within our solutions when they are provided by device vendors, but also actively discover new vulnerabilities in network-attached devices, investigate them, alert the relevant vendor, responsibly disclose the vulnerabilities to the cybersecurity community, and collaborate with relevant stakeholders on rectifying the vulnerabilities.”
“Known device vulnerabilities that have already been resolved by their vendors are being mitigated by default,” explains Nadav Lieberman, SAM’s VP Data and Innovation. “However, when a new vulnerability is discovered – either by us or another party – and a patch is not issued by the vendor immediately, we create and apply the appropriate mitigation process, which can be a network policy update, code injection, etc., and use Hot Patching to secure the affected devices until an official patch is deployed by the vendor. SAM’s hot patching really shines when it comes to secure IoT devices, known to be very challenging to secure and update, but it is especially critical when dealing with devices that are no longer supported by their vendor (“End of life”) but are still at risk due to new vulnerabilities affecting them.”
SAM wishes to recognize the outstanding and comprehensive research that has been done by “alephsecurity” in discovering prior exploits in Ruckus’ products, which proved to be an important supporting asset to SAM’s research efforts during the recent discovery.

Bitrue expands Bitcoin Runes Offerings with GPTV Listing and Staking Options
VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Leading digital asset exchange Bitrue continues its community-driven approach with the listing of a new Bitcoin Runes token, GPTV•AI•PEPE•KING (GPTV). This follows the recent addition of several other Bitcoin Runes tokens to the platform, including SATOSHI•NAKAMOTO (SATOSHI), LOBO•THE•WOLF•PUP (LOBO), RSIC•GENESIS•RUNE (RSIC), and DOG•GO•TO•THE•MOON (DOG). Trading for the GPTV/USDT pair commenced on April 30th, 2024.
What is GPTV?
GPTV is the native token of AI PEPE KING, a project claiming to be the “largest AI Meme Community” with a presence on both the Polygon (AIPEPE) and Bitcoin Runes (GPTV) blockchains. Notably, AI PEPE KING secured a $10 million investment to develop AI-powered customer service tools leveraging the ChatGPT technology. Additionally, they are building a “Dream Lottery” system. Revenue generated from these products is earmarked for buybacks and burns of both AIPEPE and GPTV tokens, potentially influencing their long-term value.
Staking Opportunities with Attractive Yields
Bitrue is also offering users staking opportunities for those holding BTR, AIPEPE, RSIC, or DOG tokens. By staking their holdings, users can earn rewards in GPTV, with estimated annual percentage yield (APY) varying on the staked token, with BTR offering 22.15%, AIPEPE at 23.18%, RSIC boasting a higher 31.37%, and DOG coming in at 23.62%. These yields present a potentially lucrative opportunity for users to grow their cryptocurrency holdings, but also come with financial risk and the potential for investment to return much lower yields.
Bitrue’s Focus on Community Engagement
The listing of these Bitcoin Runes tokens is a testament to Bitrue’s commitment to its user base. The decision to add these tokens stemmed from a community poll conducted through an X poll on Bitrue’s X account. This highlights the exchange’s dedication to incorporating community feedback into its decision-making process, fostering a sense of collaboration and shared interest.
With the addition of GPTV and the introduction of staking opportunities, Bitrue continues to expand its offerings for users interested in the burgeoning world of Bitcoin Runes tokens. The exchange’s focus on community engagement further strengthens its position as a platform that prioritizes user input and satisfaction.

Hong Kong has entered the cryptocurrency ETF market with the debut of its first spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on Tuesday, signaling the city’s ambition to compete with the US in the rapidly growing sector.
The launch, led by the Hong Kong units of three mainland Chinese asset managers — Bosera Asset Management, Harvest Global Investments, and China Asset Management — saw the introduction of two ETFs each tracking bitcoin and ether prices. Bosera’s funds were launched in collaboration with HashKey Capital.
On their debut, the three bitcoin ETFs closed between 1.5% and 1.8% higher, while the ether ETFs experienced slight losses of between 0.5% and 0.8%. Despite this, total trading turnover for all six ETFs, which included trading in US dollars, Hong Kong dollars, and renminbi, reached approximately HK$99.5 million (US$12.7 million). In comparison, US-based funds saw turnover exceeding $4 billion on their first trading day.
The move marks Hong Kong’s commitment to becoming a significant player in the cryptocurrency space, following its announcement in 2022 amid pandemic restrictions and increased Chinese oversight. Joseph Chan, Hong Kong’s under-secretary for financial services and the treasury, emphasized the city’s leading position in Asia’s crypto asset development during the ETF listing ceremony.
Prior to this, CSOP Asset Management had launched Hong Kong’s first bitcoin and ether futures ETFs in late 2022, following the publication of rules for spot ETFs by the Securities and Futures Commission in December.
In January, the US Securities and Exchange Commission approved the country’s first spot bitcoin ETFs, which have since attracted significant assets under management and net inflows. Robert Zhan, director of risk consulting at KPMG China, remains optimistic about the potential of the Hong Kong funds, despite current market sentiments and relatively flat prices of bitcoin and ether leading up to the launch.
The launch of crypto-linked funds by major Chinese asset managers has generated excitement within the industry, despite China’s strict cryptocurrency regulations. Donald Day, COO of Hong Kong-based digital asset exchange VDX, believes the new funds will cater to active investors unable or unwilling to trade during US hours.
