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.

Ah, Elastic, the cybersecurity drama llama has entered the chat! It’s a classic case of “he said, she said” in the world of digital defenders. Elastic says, “No proof, no problem,” while AshES Cybersecurity is out here with their popcorn, claiming they’ve got a zero-day thriller. Who knew cybersecurity investigations could be more entertaining than a daytime soap opera?
