I explain cybersecurity news, active attacks, privacy, surveillance technology, vulnerabilities, and OSINT in plain English, then give my independent analysis.
North AmericaEuropeMiddle EastEast AsiaOceaniaCurrent entries from CISA’s official Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. These are confirmed weaknesses attackers have used, not simulated attack-map traffic.
Google Pixel Improper Authorization Vulnerability
Google Pixel devices contain an improper authorization vulnerability in the cellular modem. A logic error may allow an attacker to bypass permission checks and escalate privileges.Cisco Identity Services Engine Incorrect Use of Privileged APIs Vulnerability
Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and Cisco ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC) contain an incorrect use of privileged APIs vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to the affected device by bypassing the web-based management interface.Acronis Backup Incorrect Default Permissions Vulnerability

ConnectWise ScreenConnect contains both an improper privilege management and missing authorization vulnerability that may allow an attacker to transfer and execute files through an active remote session without authorization or host confirmation.JFrog Artifactory Incorrect Authorization Vulnerability
JFrog Artifactory contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability that leads to a privilege escalation attack due to a validation check of the token signature/issuer and not the token’s scope.“Live” means the feed updates from current public reporting. It does not identify every attack or prove the physical location of an attacker.
