Key Findings Despite being over two decades old, the NTLM authentication protocol remains a critical security liability in 2025. Cybercriminals are actively exploiting newly discovered vulnerabilities to launch sophisticated attacks across the globe. One of the most alarming vulnerabilities is CVE-2024-43451, which allows attackers to steal a user's NTLMv2 hash with virtually no interaction. The vulnerability abuses the MSHTML engine to trigger an NTLM authentication attempt

Key Findings A critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-62593, has been discovered in the Ray framework. The vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on a developer's machine via a malicious website or advertisement, targeting users of Safari and Firefox. The attack exploits a flaw in how Ray handles local API requests, bypassing the framework's defense mechanism that relies on checking the User-Agent header. Background Ray is a

Key Findings Microsoft Teams' "Guest Access" feature allows attackers to bypass security controls like Microsoft Defender for Office 365, creating a "protection-free zone" for malware delivery. Attackers can easily create basic Microsoft 365 accounts without security features and use them to send phishing links and malware to guest users. A recent Microsoft feature that allows any Teams user to start a chat with any email address makes it even easier for attackers to lure vic

Key Findings A critical vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-11001, has been discovered in the popular file-compression tool 7-Zip. The flaw, which is a Directory Traversal Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability, has a public exploit available. The vulnerability poses a high-risk warning from the UK's NHS England Digital, though active exploitation has not been observed yet. The issue was discovered by researchers at GMO Flatt Security Inc. and revealed by Trend Micro's Zero

Key Findings A recently disclosed security vulnerability in 7-Zip, CVE-2025-11001 (CVSS score: 7.0), is being actively exploited in the wild. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by exploiting improper handling of symbolic links in ZIP files. Proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits for the flaw have been publicly released, making it essential for 7-Zip users to update to the patched version 25.00 as soon as possible. The vulnerability can only be exploi

Key Findings: Flowise, a popular open-source low-code workflow platform, contains a critical vulnerability allowing unauthenticated remote admin takeover. The vulnerability is due to an exposed registration endpoint that can be exploited to gain full administrative control of the Flowise instance. No authentication is required to leverage this flaw, making it trivial for attackers to gain complete control of affected systems. The vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identi

Key Findings Google released security updates for Chrome to address two security flaws, including one that is being actively exploited in the wild. The actively exploited vulnerability is CVE-2025-13223, a type confusion vulnerability in the V8 JavaScript and WebAssembly engine that could lead to arbitrary code execution or program crashes. Clément Lecigne of Google's Threat Analysis Group (TAG) discovered and reported the flaw on November 12, 2025. Google has not provided de

Key Findings: RondoDox botnet malware is targeting unpatched XWiki instances to exploit a critical remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2025-24893). The vulnerability, with a CVSS score of 9.8, allows any guest user to execute arbitrary code through a request to the "/bin/get/Main/SolrSearch" endpoint. The flaw was patched by XWiki in versions 15.10.11, 16.4.1, and 16.5.0RC1 released in late February 2025. Evidence shows the vulnerability has been exploited in the wild si

Key Findings A critical vulnerability in Fortinet's FortiWeb Web Application Firewall (WAF) product allows unauthenticated attackers to gain administrative-level access. The flaw has been observed actively exploited in the wild since October 2025. A public Proof-of-Concept (PoC) exploit exists, raising the likelihood of widespread exploitation. Organizations using vulnerable versions of FortiWeb are advised to take emergency remediation steps. Background On October 6, 2025, c

Key Findings: A newly discovered vulnerability in the Windows Kernel, tracked as CVE-2025-62215, allows local privilege escalation. The flaw, present in all supported versions of Windows, enables a low-privileged user or process to elevate their permissions to gain SYSTEM-level access. Proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits have been publicly released, demonstrating the ability to achieve arbitrary code execution with SYSTEM privileges. The vulnerability is considered high-severity,

Key Findings Google has released an emergency security update for Chrome Stable Channel, addressing a high-severity vulnerability in the V8 JavaScript engine (CVE-2025-13042) The vulnerability, described as an "inappropriate implementation in V8", could potentially lead to type confusion, memory corruption, or arbitrary code execution While no active exploitation is reported, V8 flaws have historically been targeted by threat actors for zero-day exploits in spear-phishing and

Key Findings Newly disclosed vulnerabilities in Apache OFBiz, an open-source ERP platform CVE-2025-59118: Unrestricted File Upload vulnerability allowing remote command execution (RCE) CVE-2025-61623: Reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability Background Apache OFBiz is an open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) software used for managing critical business workflows, including accounting, e-commerce, and inventory management. As a widely adopted ERP platform, v
