Microsoft updated a security advisory today to warn that a critical Outlook bug was exploited in attacks as a zero-day before being fixed during this month's Patch Tuesday. Unauthenticated attackers can exploit CVE-2024-21413 remotely in low-complexity attacks that don't require user interaction.
CISA confirmed today that attackers are actively exploiting a critical remote code execution bug patched by Fortinet on Thursday. CISA's announcement comes one day after Fortinet published a security advisory saying the flaw was "Potentially being exploited in the wild."
Fortinet is warning that a new critical remote code execution vulnerability in FortiOS SSL VPN is potentially being exploited in attacks.For those unable to apply patches, you can mitigate the flaw by disabling SSL VPN on your FortiOS devices.
Fortinet is warning of two new unpatched patch bypasses for a critical remote code execution vulnerability in FortiSIEM, Fortinet's SIEM solution.Fortinet added the two new vulnerabilities tracked as CVE-2024-23108 and CVE-2024-23109 to the original advisory for the CVE-2023-34992 flaw in a very confusing update.

Proactive cybersecurity: A strategic approach to cost efficiency and crisis managementIn this Help Net Security interview, Stephanie Hagopian, VP of Security at CDW, discusses offensive strategies in the face of complex cyberattacks and the role of the zero-trust model.
The number of public-facing installs of Jenkins servers vulnerable to a recently disclosed critical vulnerability is in the tens of thousands. Trailing them are India, Germany, Republic of Korea, France, and the UK. The revelation of the vast attack surface comes days after multiple exploits were made public on January 26 - themselves released just two days after the coordinated disclosure from Jenkins and Yaniv Nizry, the researcher at Sonar who first discovered the vulnerability.
Researchers found roughly 45,000 Jenkins instances exposed online that are vulnerable to CVE-2023-23897, a critical remote code execution flaw for which multiple public proof-of-concept exploits are in circulation. Depending on the instance's configuration, attackers could decrypt stored secrets, delete items from Jenkins servers, and download Java heap dumps.
Several proof-of-concept exploits for a recently patched critical vulnerability in Jenkins have been made public and there's evidence of exploitation in the wild. Jenkins is a widely used Java-based open-source automation server that helps developers build, test and deploy applications, enabling continuous integration and continuous delivery.
Multiple proof-of-concept exploits for a critical Jenkins vulnerability allowing unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files have been made publicly available, with some researchers reporting attackers actively exploiting the flaws in attacks. SonarSource researchers discovered two flaws in Jenkins that could enable attacks to access data in vulnerable servers and execute arbitrary CLI commands under certain conditions.
Cisco is warning that several of its Unified Communications Manager and Contact Center Solutions products are vulnerable to a critical severity remote code execution security issue. Cisco's Unified Communications and Contact Center Solutions are integrated solutions that provide enterprise-level voice, video, and messaging services, as well as customer engagement and management.
