China Strikes Again: SAP NetWeaver Flaw Raises Global Cyber Alarm!
China-nexus nation-state actors are exploiting a critical SAP NetWeaver flaw, CVE-2025-31324, to target infrastructure networks. With a focus on strategic persistence, these cyber pests are creating a digital version of “whack-a-mole,” leaving IT teams scrambling to patch vulnerabilities faster than you can say “SAP NetWeaver.”
Hot Take:
It seems like our friends from the Far East have been busy turning SAP NetWeaver into a “NetLoser” by exploiting its vulnerabilities. With Chinese threat actors treating critical infrastructure networks like their own personal buffet, it’s high time for some cybersecurity indigestion remedies! Maybe it’s time to patch those systems, folks, or these hackers will keep treating our networks like an all-you-can-hack buffet.
