Federal Panic: Patch or Perish as CISA Flags Five Exploitable Vulnerabilities
The CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog just got five new CVEs, including a Cisco routers flaw and a Win32k bug from 2018. Time to patch up! Federal agencies have until March 24 to fix these holes before threat actors make themselves at home.
Hot Take:
Well, it looks like CISA is playing matchmaker with Uncle Sam and some neglected cybersecurity patches. Who knew vulnerabilities could have a shelf life longer than a Twinkie? Dust off those routers and servers, folks, because in the world of cybersecurity, it’s never too late for a little spring cleaning!
Key Points:
- Five new vulnerabilities have been added to the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog.
- High-profile issues include a command injection vulnerability in Cisco routers and privilege escalation in Microsoft Windows Win32k.
- Two vulnerabilities found in Hitachi Vantara Pentaho BA servers, one allowing server authorization bypass.
- A path traversal vulnerability in Progress WhatsUp Gold network monitoring software also made the list.
- Federal agencies have until March 24 to patch these vulnerabilities or face the wrath of CISA.
