Cybersecurity Comedy of Errors: Microsoft and Apache’s Patchy Past Imperils Security
CISA has added four new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, urging swift action from federal agencies. Notably, there’s a high-severity flaw in Microsoft .NET Framework and a critical Apache OFBiz vulnerability. While the agency sounds the alarm, the exact details of these cyber shenanigans remain as mysterious as a magician’s hat.
Hot Take:
It seems the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is on a mission to turn February 25, 2025, into the Y2K of patching deadlines. So, if you’re using vulnerable software, consider February your new Christmas—where patches, not presents, are the gift that keeps on giving!
Key Points:
- CISA adds four vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
- Flaws impact Microsoft .NET Framework and Apache OFBiz.
- Urgent patching deadline set for February 25, 2025.
- Microsoft .NET flaw was a communication faux pas but ultimately patched.
- Apache OFBiz flaw fixed by upgrading to version 18.12.16 or later.
