State-sponsored attackers actively exploiting RCE in Citrix devices, patch ASAP!An unauthenticated remote code execution flaw is being leveraged by a Chinese state-sponsored group to compromise Citrix Application Delivery Controller deployments, the US National Security Agency has warned. Microsoft fixes exploited zero-day, revokes certificate used to sign malicious driversIt's December 2022 Patch Tuesday, and Microsoft has delivered fixes for 50+ vulnerabilities, including a Windows SmartScreen bypass flaw exploited by attackers to deliver a variety of malware.
Another month, another Microsoft Patch Tuesday, another 48 patches, another two zero-days. An astonishing tale about a bunch of rogue actors who tricked Microsoft itself into giving their malicious code an official digital seal of approval.
An unauthenticated remote code execution flaw is being leveraged by a Chinese state-sponsored group to compromise Citrix Application Delivery Controller deployments, the US National Security Agency has warned.
