CISA’s Hall of Infamy: New High-Profile Software Flaws Join Vulnerability Catalog
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has added flaws from Oracle, Mozilla, Microsoft Windows, and the Linux Kernel to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. These vulnerabilities include everything from privilege escalation to remote code execution, making it a hacker’s buffet, but not the kind you’d want to RSVP to anytime soon.
Hot Take:
Who knew that keeping a collection of vintage cyber vulnerabilities could become such a hot trend? The U.S. CISA is proving that even old security flaws never go out of style, adding a motley crew of Oracle, Mozilla, Linux, and Microsoft vulnerabilities to their Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. It’s like a greatest hits album, but for hackers!
Key Points:
- U.S. CISA updates its KEV catalog with vulnerabilities from Oracle, Mozilla, Linux, and Microsoft.
- Oracle’s emergency patch targets a critical flaw (CVE-2025-61882) exploited by the Cl0p ransomware group.
- Some vulnerabilities date back to the early 2010s, proving that oldies can still be goodies for hackers.
- Federal agencies must address these vulnerabilities by October 27, 2025, per CISA’s directive.
- Private organizations are encouraged to review and remediate these vulnerabilities as well.
