Potential vulnerabilities have been identified in the system BIOS of certain HP PC products, which might allow arbitrary code execution, escalation of privilege, denial of service, and information disclosure.

The Chinese state-sponsored group known as UNC3886 has been found to exploit a zero-day flaw in VMware ESXi hosts to backdoor Windows and Linux systems. The VMware Tools authentication bypass vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2023-20867 (CVSS score: 3.9), "enabled the execution of privileged commands across Windows, Linux, and PhotonOS (vCenter) guest VMs without authentication of guest credentials

By paying attention to emerging threat intelligence, security leaders can be better prepared to defend against similar attack vectors in the future.

For the better part of the 90s and early aughts, the sysadmin handbook said, "Filter your incoming traffic, not everyone is nice out there" (later coined by Gandalf as "You shall not pass").

The MStore API plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to missing nonce validation on the mstore_update_limit_product function.

The MStore API plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to missing nonce validation on the mstore_update_status_order_message function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update status order message via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Threat actors have grown increasingly sophisticated in applying social engineering tactics against their victims, which is key to this oft-underrated cybercriminal scam's success.
