Some really interesting insights in this blog about AI and the potential risks. Definitely worth a read!

A day late, but it's Patch Tuesday Update time... Our ZDI colleagues' latest security briefing covers a hefty patch release with 149 CVEs, 142 of which are from Microsoft. Here’s a quick rundown: • Adobe Patches: Only three patches covering 7 CVEs in Adobe Premiere Pro, InDesign, and Bridge. • Microsoft Patches: Includes 139 new CVEs plus 4 external CVEs. Key highlights: • Active Attacks: Hyper-V elevation of privilege & MSHTML spoofing vulnerabilities. • Critical Patches: Remote Desktop Licensing Service (9.8 CVSS), Codecs Library RCE, SharePoint RCE (privilege issue debate). • SQL Server Bugs: Requires user to connect to a malicious server - potential post-exploitation use. • Secure Boot Concerns: 43 CVEs this year - potential rebranding as "Protected Boot". • Other Notables: Elevation of Privilege bugs, Powershell bugs, Azure Cycle Cloud escalations, and Xbox wireless controller RCE. Remember to prioritise patches, especially those under active attack, and take note of additional steps required for some fixes.
