CISA Sounds the Alarm: Patch Oracle and Mitel Vulnerabilities or Face Cyber Mayhem!
CISA has warned U.S. federal agencies to secure their systems against vulnerabilities in Oracle WebLogic Server and Mitel MiCollab systems, now added to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog. These flaws allow unauthorized actions and access, posing significant risks. Federal agencies must patch them by January 28 to prevent ongoing cyber attacks.
Hot Take:
Looks like Oracle and Mitel are neck-and-neck in the “Who Can Be More Vulnerable” race! CISA’s stern warning to federal agencies is the equivalent of a parent telling their teenage kids to lock the front door before the house party gets crashed by unwelcome guests. So, buckle up, folks, because these security flaws are the cybersecurity equivalent of leaving your keys in the ignition of a Ferrari with a ‘steal me’ sign on it!
