Ethical Hacking News
A new wave of severe cybersecurity vulnerabilities has emerged, targeting some of the most prominent players in the industry. Zoom's clients for Windows have been affected by a critical vulnerability that could enable privilege escalation via network access. Additionally, Xerox FreeFlow Core has faced multiple issues, including remote code execution threats. Meanwhile, NVIDIA Triton bugs have allowed unauthenticated attackers to execute code and hijack AI servers. Stay updated on the latest news and security measures in this rapidly changing landscape.
Zoom's clients for Windows have been affected by a critical vulnerability (CVE-2025-49457) that allows an unauthenticated user to conduct privilege escalation via network access. Xerox FreeFlow Core has multiple disclosed vulnerabilities, including XML External Entity (XXE) injection and path traversal vulnerabilities that can lead to remote code execution and server-side request forgery. NVIDIA's Triton AI system is vulnerable to unauthenticated attackers executing code and hijacking AI servers. Regular software updates, patch management, and robust security measures are essential to protect against these critical vulnerabilities.
The world of cybersecurity has witnessed a surge in critical vulnerabilities affecting some of the most prominent players in the industry. In this article, we will delve into the details of these vulnerabilities, their impact on users, and the measures being taken to address them.
One of the recent high-profile vulnerabilities to have been disclosed is that affecting Zoom's clients for Windows. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-49457 (CVSS score: 9.6), relates to a case of an untrusted search path that could pave the way for privilege escalation. This means that an unauthenticated user could conduct an escalation of privilege via network access. According to Zoom's security bulletin on Tuesday, this issue affects the following products - Zoom Workplace for Windows before version 6.3.10, Zoom Workplace VDI for Windows before version 6.3.10 (except 6.1.16 and 6.2.12), Zoom Rooms for Windows before version 6.3.10, Zoom Rooms Controller for Windows before version 6.3.10, and Zoom Meeting SDK for Windows before version 6.3.10.
This vulnerability was reported by Zoom's own Offensive Security team, highlighting the severity of the issue. The disclosure comes as multiple vulnerabilities have been disclosed in Xerox FreeFlow Core, with some of them being severe enough to result in remote code execution. Among these issues is CVE-2025-8355 (CVSS score: 7.5), which involves an XML External Entity (XXE) injection vulnerability leading to server-side request forgery (SSRF). The second issue, CVE-2025-8356 (CVSS score: 9.8), is a path traversal vulnerability that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the affected system, steal sensitive data, or attempt to move laterally into a given corporate environment to further their attack.
Furthermore, NVIDIA has been dealing with its own set of critical vulnerabilities. The bugs in NVIDIA Triton let unauthenticated attackers execute code and hijack AI servers. This is a significant threat, especially considering that AI systems are increasingly being used for various applications, including cybersecurity.
In light of these critical vulnerabilities, it's essential to understand the importance of regular software updates, patch management, and robust security measures. Users should take immediate action to address these vulnerabilities, ensuring their devices and systems are protected from potential threats.
In conclusion, this article has highlighted several critical vulnerabilities affecting major players in the industry. As the threat landscape continues to evolve, it's crucial for users to stay informed and take proactive steps to protect themselves.
