Oracle is urging customers to apply its January 2025 Critical Patch Update (CPU) to address 318 new security vulnerabilities spanning its products and services. The most severe of the flaws is a bug in the Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Framework (CVE-2025-21556, CVSS score: 9.9) that could allow an attacker to seize control of susceptible instances. "Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attackers with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Agile PLM Framework," according to a description of the security hole in the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD). It's worth noting that Oracle warned of active exploitation attempts against another flaw in the same product (CVE-2024-21287, CVSS score: 7.5) in November 2024. Both vulnerabilities affect Oracle Agile PLM Framework version 9.3.6. "Customers are strongly advised to apply the January 2025 Critical Patch Update for Oracle Agile PLM Framework as it includes patche...

Google Mandiant and Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) have disclosed that they are tracking a new cluster of activity possibly linked to a financially motivated threat actor known as Cl0p . The malicious activity involves sending extortion emails to executives at various organizations and claiming to have stolen sensitive data from their Oracle E-Business Suite. "This activity began on or before September 29, 2025, but Mandiant's experts are still in the early stages of multiple investigations, and have not yet substantiated the claims made by this group," Genevieve Stark, Head of Cybercrime and Information Operations Intelligence Analysis at GTIG, told The Hacker News in a statement. Stark further said the targeting is opportunistic, as opposed to focusing on specific industries, adding this modus operandi is consistent with prior activity associated with the Cl0p data leak site. Mandiant CTO Charles Carmakal described the ongoing activity as a "high-vol...

Even in well-secured environments, attackers are getting in—not with flashy exploits, but by quietly taking advantage of weak settings, outdated encryption, and trusted tools left unprotected. These attacks don't depend on zero-days. They work by staying unnoticed—slipping through the cracks in what we monitor and what we assume is safe. What once looked suspicious now blends in, thanks to modular techniques and automation that copy normal behavior. The real concern? Control isn't just being challenged—it's being quietly taken. This week's updates highlight how default settings, blurred trust boundaries, and exposed infrastructure are turning everyday systems into entry points. ⚡ Threat of the Week Critical SharePoint Zero-Day Actively Exploited (Patch Released Today) — Microsoft has released fixes to address two security flaws in SharePoint Server that have come under active exploitation in the wild to breach dozens of organizations across the world.
