Congressional Comedy: CVE Funding Fiasco Unfolds as Cybersecurity Chaos Looms
Congressional Democrats are questioning the future of the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures program amid funding woes. With federal funding halted, the program hangs by a thread, risking the cut-off of essential cybersecurity data. Lawmakers are urging a review to ensure the program’s efficiency and continued support, fearing a cybersecurity cataclysm.
Hot Take:
Congressional Democrats are raising the alarm on the CVE program like it’s their teenage kid sneaking out after curfew. Meanwhile, Roundcube’s XSS issue is stealing emails like a master of disguise, and Discord links are more persistent than your ex’s calls. Not to mention, McLean Mortgage took longer to disclose a breach than it takes to grow a beard, and JSF*ck is turning websites into cryptic puzzles. Who knew cybersecurity could be this entertaining?
Key Points:
- The CVE program’s future funding remains uncertain, prompting a review request from congressional Democrats.
- Roundcube’s cross-site scripting vulnerability allows email theft and sending, already exploited “in the wild”.
- Discord invite links are vulnerable to hijacking and misdirection by scammers.
- McLean Mortgage informed customers of a data breach eight months late.
- JSF*ck is obfuscating malicious JavaScript code, making detection tougher.
