CISA’s Cybersecurity SOS: Patch XWiki & VMware Flaws Before They Raise the Roof!
CISA just expanded its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Two new stars: XWiki’s flaw, which lets hackers inject malicious code faster than you can say “CVE-2025-24893,” and VMware’s bug, offering a VIP backstage pass to root privileges. Patch up by November 20 or face the wrath of BOD 22-01!
Hot Take:
Cyber villains are turning into crypto miners, and it’s not just the stock market that’s going wild; even your trustworthy XWiki and VMware might be mining more than just your business data! It’s like discovering your office printer moonlighting as a DJ at a techno club!
