Summary
The Apache OFBiz has a Path Traversal vulnerability, identified as CVE-2024-32113, that allows for arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability has been exploited, particularly by the Mirai Botnet, highlighting the urgency of upgrading to version 18.12.13 to fix the issue. Another critical vulnerability affects VMware eSXI hypervisors, allowing for authentication bypass and potential ransomware exploits. It is crucial to ensure that all eSXI hypervisors are patched and to use two-factor authentication to enhance security. Additionally, multiple flaws in Windows Security features, particularly Smart Screen and Smart App Control, have been reported, posing a risk of initial access with minimal user interaction. Teams are advised to carefully monitor and study downloads on their systems to mitigate this risk.
