Cybersecurity Chaos: CISA’s New Entries in the Vulnerability Hall of Shame
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Among the culprits, D-Link DIR-859 routers join the list, proving once again that not even outdated WiFi routers are safe from the clutches of cyber mischief. Stay secure, update when possible!
Hot Take:
Looks like the cyber villains have hit the jackpot again, this time with some outdated routers and security systems that might as well have been wearing a “kick me” sign. It’s like finding treasure in a junkyard—except this junk is your outdated tech, and the treasure is your personal data. Time to upgrade, folks! Or maybe just hide in a digital bunker until the storm passes.
Key Points:
- CISA adds AMI MegaRAC SPx, D-Link DIR-859 routers, and Fortinet FortiOS flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog.
- D-Link DIR-859 router is vulnerable to a path traversal attack that can leak user credentials.
- The D-Link DIR-859 is no longer supported, which means no official fix is coming.
- Hackers are exploiting these vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.
- CISA mandates federal agencies to patch these vulnerabilities by July 16, 2025.
