ConnectWise has disclosed that it's planning to rotate the digital code signing certificates used to sign ScreenConnect, ConnectWise Automate, and ConnectWise remote monitoring and management (RMM) executables due to security concerns. The company said it's doing so "due to concerns raised by a third-party researcher about how ScreenConnect handled certain configuration data in earlier versions." While the company did not publicly elaborate on the nature of the problem, it has shed more light in a non-public FAQ accessible only to its customers (and later shared on Reddit ) - The concern stems from ScreenConnect using the ability to store configuration data in an available area of the installer that is not signed but is part of the installer. We are using this ability to pass down configuration information for the connection (between the agent and server) such as the URL where the agent should call back without invalidating the signature. The unsigned area is u...

Former members tied to the Black Basta ransomware operation have been observed sticking to their tried-and-tested approach of email bombing and Microsoft Teams phishing to establish persistent access to target networks. "Recently, attackers have introduced Python script execution alongside these techniques, using cURL requests to fetch and deploy malicious payloads," ReliaQuest said in a report shared with The Hacker News. The development is a sign that the threat actors are continuing to pivot and regroup, despite the Black Basta brand suffering a huge blow and a decline after the public leak of its internal chat logs earlier this February. The cybersecurity company said half of the Teams phishing attacks that were observed between February and May 2025 originated from onmicrosoft[.]com domains, and that breached domains accounted for 42% of the attacks during the same period. The latter is a lot more stealthy and allows threat actors to impersonate legitimate traffi...

Threat intelligence firm GreyNoise has warned of a "coordinated brute-force activity" targeting Apache Tomcat Manager interfaces. The company said it observed a surge in brute-force and login attempts on June 5, 2025, an indication that they could be deliberate efforts to "identify and access exposed Tomcat services at scale." To that end, 295 unique IP addresses have been found to be engaged in brute-force attempts against Tomcat Manager on that date, with all of them classified as malicious. Over the past 24 hours, 188 unique IPs have been recorded, a majority of them located in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, and Singapore. In a similar vein, 298 unique IPs were observed conducting login attempts against Tomcat Manager instances. Of the 246 IP addresses flagged in the last 24 hours, all of them are categorized as malicious and originate from the same locations. Targets of these attempts include the United States, the Uni...

Two security vulnerabilities have been disclosed in SinoTrack GPS devices that could be exploited to control certain remote functions on connected vehicles and even track their locations. "Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to access device profiles without authorization through the common web management interface," the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said in an advisory. "Access to the device profile may allow an attacker to perform some remote functions on connected vehicles such as tracking the vehicle location and disconnecting power to the fuel pump where supported." The vulnerabilities, per the agency, affect all versions of the SinoTrack IoT PC Platform. A brief description of the flaws is below - CVE-2025-5484 (CVSS score: 8.3) - Weak authentication to the central SinoTrack device management interface stems from the use of a default password and a username that's an identifier pr...

Microsoft has released patches to fix 67 security flaws , including one zero-day bug in Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) that it said has come under active exploitation in the wild. Of the 67 vulnerabilities, 11 are rated Critical and 56 are rated Important in severity. This includes 26 remote code execution flaws, 17 information disclosure flaws, and 14 privilege escalation flaws. The patches are in addition to 13 shortcomings addressed by the company in its Chromium-based Edge browser since the release of last month's Patch Tuesday update . The vulnerability that has been weaponized in real-world attacks concerns a remote code execution in WebDAV ( CVE-2025-33053 , CVSS score: 8.8) that can be triggered by deceiving users into clicking on a specially crafted URL. The tech giant credited Check Point researchers Alexandra Gofman and David Driker for discovering and reporting the bug. It's worth mentioning that CVE-2025-33053 is the first zero-day vulnerab...
