CISA’s New Year’s Resolution: Add More Flaws to the Exploited Vulnerabilities List!

CISA adds Microsoft Windows and Zyxel device flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. The vulnerabilities could allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands or gain SYSTEM privileges. It’s like giving hackers the keys to the cyber kingdom, but hey, at least they won’t be able to take the office coffee machine!

Hot Take:

Oh Zyxel, not again! It seems like the only thing more exploitable than these vulnerabilities is my ex’s excuses. Meanwhile, Windows vulnerabilities are making themselves as common as my caffeine runs. CISA’s got their hands full, and I’ve got popcorn ready for this cybersecurity drama!

Key Points:

  • Zyxel’s devices have two new command injection vulnerabilities that remain unpatched.
  • Thousands of attack attempts on Zyxel devices have been reported, primarily originating from Taiwan.
  • Microsoft Windows has two freshly patched vulnerabilities now in CISA’s KEV catalog.
  • The Windows vulnerabilities allow privilege escalation and potential system takeovers.
  • CISA is on high alert, adding these to their Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog like a kid collecting Pokémon cards.
