  1. Security Tip: Move toward a risk-based patch management strategy. 🛡️ Relying solely on CVSS scores can lead to 'vulnerability fatigue.' Instead, prioritize based on: 1. Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV), 2. Exposure (is the asset internet-facing?), and 3. Business Criticality. This ensures you fix what matters most, first. Research threat intelligence and track the latest CVEs at cvedatabase.com

  2. Zero detections across 69 AV engines for a credential stealer delivered via a fake Windows Update site. WiX MSI, Electron wrapper, hidden Python runtime. Every layer legitimate. The evasion is architectural, not accidental. "We have AV" is not a compliance answer -- here's what is. sovereignauditor.substack.com/ #infosec #cybersecurity #CyberEssentials #patchmanagement

  3. PoC exploits are now public for CVE-2025-69258 in Trend Micro Apex Central (on-premise), a vulnerability that could allow unauthenticated RCE on affected systems.

    A patch is available, and there are no confirmed exploitation reports so far. Public PoCs, however, tend to accelerate attacker interest.

  7. Check out ˗ˏˋ ⭒ lnkd.in/gE2wUqgc ⭒ ˎˊ˗ to see my intro whilst you listen.

    I'm thus re-naming this work as "CVE Keeper - Security at x+1; rethinking vulnerability management beyond CVSS & scanners". I must also thank @andrewpollock for reviewing several of my verbose drafts. 🫡

    So, Security at x+1; rethinking vulnerability management beyond CVSS & scanners -

    Most vulnerability tooling today is optimized for disclosure and alert volume, not for making correct decisions on real systems. CVEs arrive faster than teams can evaluate them, scores are generic, context arrives late, and we still struggle to answer the only question that matters: does this actually put my system at risk right now?

    Over the last few years working close to CVE lifecycle automation, I’ve been designing an open architecture that treats vulnerability management as a continuous, system-specific reasoning problem rather than a static scoring task. The goal is to assess impact on the same day for 0-days using minimal upstream data, refine accuracy over time as context improves, reason across dependencies and compound vulnerabilities, and couple automation with explicit human verification instead of replacing it.

    This work explores:

    ⤇ 1• Same-day triage of newly disclosed and 0-day vulnerabilities
    ⤇ 2• Dependency-aware and compound vulnerability impact assessment
    ⤇ 3• Correlating classical CVSS with AI-specific threat vectors
    ⤇ 4• Reducing operational noise, unnecessary reboots, and security burnout
    ⤇ 5• Making high-quality vulnerability intelligence accessible beyond enterprise teams

    The core belief is simple: most security failures come from misjudged impact, not missed vulnerabilities. Accuracy, context, and accountability matter more than volume.

    I’m sharing this to invite feedback from folks working in CVE, OSV, vulnerability disclosure, AI security, infra, and systems research. Disagreement and critique are welcome. This problem affects everyone, and I don’t think incremental tooling alone will solve it.

    P.S.

    • Super appreciate everyone that's spent time reviewing my drafts and reading all my essays lol. I owe you 🫶🏻
    • ... and GoogleLM. These slides would have taken me forever to make otherwise.

    Nice article! Can‘t agree more on all of them amd seen many of them in the wild:

    📄 Default configurations of software and applications

    ⛔️ Improper separation of user/administrator privilege

    🔎 Insufficient internal network monitoring

    ⚠️ Lack of network segmentation

    🔄 Poor patch management

    🔀 Bypass of system access controls

    📱 Weak or misconfigured MFA methods

    🎣 Lack of phishing-resistant MFA

    🚫 Insufficient access control lists on network shares and services

    🧼 Poor credential hygiene

    👨🏼‍💻 Unrestricted Code Execution

  10. "🚨 Openfire Vulnerability Under Active Exploit: A Gateway to Ransomware and Cryptominers 🚨"

    The widely-used Openfire chat server is under siege as hackers exploit a high-severity flaw, CVE-2023-32315, to deploy ransomware and cryptominers. This Java-based open-source XMPP server, boasting 9 million downloads, has become a lucrative target due to an authentication bypass vulnerability in its admin console. Attackers are creating new admin accounts on vulnerable servers, installing malicious Java plugins, and executing commands via HTTP requests. 🛑

    The flaw spans across various Openfire versions dating back to 2015. Although patches were released in May 2023, over 3,000 servers remained vulnerable by mid-August 2023. The first known exploitation dates back to June 2023, when a server was ransomed post-exploitation. Attack scenarios include deploying crypto-mining trojans, installing backdoors, and extracting server information. 🕵️

    Dr. Web has identified four distinct attack scenarios leveraging this flaw, emphasizing the urgency of applying available security updates. BleepingComputer also reports multiple instances of Openfire servers being encrypted with ransomware, appending a .locked1 extension to files. The ransom demands range from 0.09 to 0.12 bitcoins ($2,300 to $3,500). 🖥️🔓

    The threat landscape is evolving, with threat actors not solely targeting Openfire servers but any vulnerable web server. It's a stark reminder for organizations to stay vigilant and ensure their systems are up-to-date with the latest security patches. 🛡️
