Week ending 23rd Jan. This week's security landscape is riddled with critical flaws across various platforms. We're seeing a surge in vulnerabilities stemming from inadequate input validation, leading to issues like privilege escalation and account takeovers in WordPress plugins. SQL Injection remains a prevalent threat, allowing attackers to manipulate databases, while arbitrary file upload vulnerabilities pose significant risks for remote code execution. We also have reports of operating system command injections and insecure deserialization of data, creating avenues for malicious attacks. Additionally, TLS certificate validation issues, logic errors, and insufficient permission assignments are all creating points of entry for bad actors. We're also seeing critical issues in enterprise products like Oracle and IBM, along with hardware like Lexmark printers and Newtec modems, showcasing that no type of system is safe from attack.
