Every product has a due date, but customers often have little warning and no recourse when a vendor decides to sunset a product. Once a vendor designates a product as end-of-life (EOL) or end-of-service (EOS), managing associated risks becomes more complex. Risk is magnified when cyber criminals find and exploit vulnerabilities that will never be […]
Trimble Cityworks, an enterprise asset management (EAM) and public works management software is actively under attack. The campaign began as an unknown (zero-day) vulnerability, but is now tracked as CVE-2025-0994 with a CVSS of 8.6. The vulnerability is a deserialization flaw [CWE-502] that could allow an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code remotely (Remote Code […]
This year, many large organizations around the world will be forced to reckon with the root-cause of cyber intrusions. Many known vulnerabilities are an open gateway to restricted network resources. Our first Threat Report of 2025 reviews some disastrous breaches from 2024 and then dives into some pressing cybersecurity vulnerabilities from this past month. However, […]
In 2024, geopolitical instability, marked by conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, emphasized the need for stronger cybersecurity in both the public and private sector. China targeted U.S. defense, utilities, internet providers and transportation, while Russia launched coordinated cyberattacks on U.S. and European nations, seeking to influence public opinion and create discord among Western […]
An actively exploited RCE (Remote Code Execution) with system privileges vulnerability that does not require user-interaction is as bad as it gets from a technical standpoint. When that CVE impacts software widely used by Fortune 500 companies, it is a ticking time bomb. And when advanced persistent threat actors jump on a software vulnerability such […]
The world may be entering into a new phase of cyber, and a new technological paradigm. So-called “industry leading” or “enterprise grade” software is perpetually shown to be vulnerable with new critical vulnerabilities exposed and evidence of active exploitation on a weekly basis. Fancy new features keep us engaged but, considering the risk of fast-moving […]
The Common Security Advisory Framework (CSAF) is a framework for providing machine-readable security advisories following a standardized process to enable automated cybersecurity information sharing. Greenbone is continously working on the integration of technologies that leverage the CSAF 2.0 standard for automated cybersecurity advisories. For an introduction to CSAF 2.0 and how it supports next-generation vulnerability […]
October was European Cyber Security Month (ECSM) and International Cybersecurity Awareness month with the latter’s theme being “Secure Our World”. It’s safe to say that instilling best practices for online safety to individuals, businesses and critical infrastructure is mission critical in 2024. At Greenbone, in addition to our Enterprise vulnerability management products, we are happy […]
A 2023 World Economic Forum report surveyed 151 global organizational leaders and found that 93% of cyber leaders and 86% business leaders believe a catastrophic cyber event is likely within the next two years. Still, many software vendors prioritize rapid development and product innovation above security. This month, CISA’s Director Jen Easterly stated software vendors […]
The cybersecurity risk environment has been red hot through the first half of 2024. Critical vulnerabilities in even the most critical technologies are perpetually open to cyber attacks, and defenders face the continuous struggle to identify and remediate these relentlessly emerging security gaps. Large organizations are being targeted by sophisticated “big game hunting” campaigns by […]
