The latest weekly security roundup from Help Net Security paints a familiar picture: old threats persist while new ones emerge quickly. The FortiBleed issue is still active, and the publication also previews what to expect from the upcoming Patch Tuesday. Beyond that, the week's stories span everything from malware analysis to infrastructure exposure.
Several high-severity vulnerabilities drew attention. Microsoft shipped an out-of-band Exchange Server update for a mailbox access bug, while CISA added a NetScaler flaw to its known exploited vulnerabilities catalog. SonicWall patched a pre-auth SSRF in its SMA 1000 appliances, and attackers began exploiting a critical Atlassian Data Center vulnerability within a day of patches being released.
Separately, researchers found 8,547 internet-facing systems at wind farms and solar parks across 35 countries, including a turbine control page with a Stop button accessible to anyone with a browser. The roundup also covers Russia-aligned malware, a silent Linux backdoor, and interviews on security economics and the expanding CISO role. As this is a single roundup, there are no conflicting reports to compare.
