The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Wednesday added two security flaws impacting N-able N-central to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities ( KEV ) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation.  N-able N-central is a Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) platform designed for Managed Service Providers (MSPs), allowing customers to efficiently manage and secure their clients' Windows, Apple, and Linux endpoints from a single, unified platform. The vulnerabilities in question are listed below - CVE-2025-8875 (CVSS score: N/A) - An insecure deserialization vulnerability that could lead to command execution CVE-2025-8876 (CVSS score: N/A) - A command injection vulnerability via improper sanitization of user input Both shortcomings have been addressed in N-central versions 2025.3.1 and 2024.6 HF2 released on August 13, 2025. N-able is also urging customers to make sure that multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enabled, particularly for admin...

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new malvertising campaign that's designed to infect victims with a multi-stage malware framework called PS1Bot . "PS1Bot features a modular design, with several modules delivered used to perform a variety of malicious activities on infected systems, including information theft, keylogging, reconnaissance, and the establishment of persistent system access," Cisco Talos researchers Edmund Brumaghin and Jordyn Dunk said . "PS1Bot has been designed with stealth in mind, minimizing persistent artifacts left on infected systems and incorporating in-memory execution techniques to facilitate execution of follow-on modules without requiring them to be written to disk." Campaigns distributing the PowerShell and C# malware have been found to be active since early 2025, leveraging malvertising as a propagation vector, with the infection chains executing modules in-memory to minimize forensic trail. PS1Bot is assessed to share ...

Zoom and Xerox have addressed critical security flaws in Zoom Clients for Windows and FreeFlow Core that could allow privilege escalation and remote code execution.  The vulnerability impacting Zoom Clients for Windows, 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. "Untrusted search path in certain Zoom Clients for Windows may allow an unauthenticated user to conduct an escalation of privilege via network access," Zoom said in a security bulletin on Tuesday. The issue, reported by its own Offensive Security team, 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 Zoom Meeting SDK for Windows before version 6.3.10 The disclosure comes as multiple vulnerabiliti...

Security operations have never been a 9-to-5 job. For SOC analysts, the day often starts and ends deep in a queue of alerts, chasing down what turns out to be false positives, or switching between half a dozen tools to piece together context. The work is repetitive, time-consuming, and high-stakes, leaving SOCs under constant pressure to keep up, yet often struggling to stay ahead of emerging threats. That combination of inefficiency, elevated risk, and a reactive operating model is exactly where AI-powered SOC capabilities are starting to make a difference. Why AI SOC is gaining traction now The recent Gartner Hype Cycle for Security Operations 2025 (download a complimentary copy ) recognizes AI SOC Agents as an innovation trigger, reflecting a broader shift in how teams approach automation. Instead of relying solely on static playbooks or manual investigation workflows, AI SOC capabilities bring reasoning, adaptability, and context-aware decision-making into the mix. SOC teams r...
