Patch Panic: Atlassian and Cisco Scramble to Fix High-Severity Flaws!
Atlassian and Cisco have issued patches for several high-severity vulnerabilities, addressing potential remote code execution and denial-of-service issues. Atlassian fixed flaws in Bamboo, Confluence, and Jira, while Cisco patched vulnerabilities in Webex App, Secure Network Analytics, and Nexus Dashboard. Thankfully, no exploits in the wild have been reported yet.
Hot Take:
Not to be left out of the “Whoops, We Had a Bug” party, Atlassian and Cisco join forces to release security patches. Because nothing bonds tech companies quite like a shared sense of vulnerability!
Key Points:
- Atlassian patched four high-severity vulnerabilities in Bamboo, Confluence, and Jira, with some bugs being around since dinosaurs roamed the earth—or about six years ago.
- Cisco issued patches for Webex App, Secure Network Analytics, and Nexus Dashboard, plugging up security holes that could lead to remote code execution and root access.
- A denial-of-service (DoS) flaw in Atlassian’s Bamboo and Jira is now history, no login required to exploit it.
- Cisco’s Webex App flaw could allow attackers to play Puppet Master with users clicking on malicious meeting links.
- Both companies report no signs of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild, yet.
