Cybersecurity Comedy of Errors: New Vulnerabilities Added to the Exploitation Parade!

CISA has added vulnerabilities in Adobe ColdFusion and Oracle Agile PLM to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. These vulnerabilities, if left unchecked, could lead to unwanted code execution or system compromise. So, update your systems now, or be prepared to watch hackers play a fun game of “Guess the Network Password.”

Hot Take:

Looks like cybercriminals are still finding oldies but goodies in the software vulnerability world. While these security flaws are as ancient as a rotary phone, hackers are swiping left on modern exploits and going retro with these classic vulnerabilities. It’s time for Adobe and Oracle to get out the cybersecurity time machine and patch up these relics like it’s 1999. Cheers to CISA for spotting them, though! Old malware really ages like a fine wine, or maybe a stinky cheese, depending on your perspective.

Key Points:

– Adobe ColdFusion’s deserialization vulnerability (CVE-2017-3066) can lead to arbitrary code execution.
– Oracle Agile PLM’s deserialization vulnerability (CVE-2024-20953) can compromise systems via HTTP access.
– No public reports of exploitation yet, but users should update their systems to mitigate risks.
– Federal agencies have until March 17, 2025, to secure their networks.
– Threat group Salt Typhoon linked to recent breaches using different vulnerabilities.
