Microsoft discovered a vulnerability pattern in multiple popular Android applications that could enable a malicious application to overwrite files in the vulnerable application’s internal data storage directory, which could lead to arbitrary code execution and token theft, among other impacts.
Four new unauthenticated remotely exploitable security vulnerabilities discovered in the popular source code management platform Perforce Helix Core Server have been remediated after being responsibly disclosed by Microsoft. Perforce Server customers are strongly urged to update to version 2023.1/2513900.
Microsoft researchers identified multiple high-severity vulnerabilities in the CODESYS V3 SDK that could put operational technology (OT) infrastructure at risk of attacks, such as remote code execution (RCE) and denial of service (DoS).
Microsoft has identified a phishing campaign conducted by the threat actor tracked as Storm-0978 targeting defense and government entities in Europe and North America. The campaign involved the abuse of CVE-2023-36884, which included a zero-day remote code execution vulnerability exploited via Microsoft Word documents.
One of the questions I get asked from time to time is about the days of risk between the time that a vulnerability is disclosed and when we first see active exploitation of it; i.e. how long do organizations have to deploy the update before active attacks are going to happen?
Back in April I published a post about the end of support for Windows XP called The Countdown Begins: Support for Windows XP Ends on April 8, 2014.
