Elastic’s Zero-Day Drama: Much Ado About Nothing?

Elastic dismisses claims of a zero-day vulnerability in its Defend EDR product, following AshES Cybersecurity’s report. Elastic’s team couldn’t reproduce the alleged flaw that supposedly bypasses EDR monitoring and enables remote code execution. Despite flashy videos and bold claims, Elastic remains firm: zero-day, zero evidence.
