Archived Security Snapshot

Critical vulnerabilities, curated daily for security professionals

Archived Security Brief

This brief features an elevated threat landscape with 13 critical vulnerabilities and 10 actively exploited CISA KEV vulnerabilities requiring immediate federal compliance action. The security community faces critical deadlines with 4 KEV vulnerabilities requiring remediation within 2 days.

  • 13 Critical CVEs including WordPress ONLYOFFICE plugin takeover vulnerability
  • 10 CISA KEV vulnerabilities with urgent federal deadlines
  • 4 KEV vulnerabilities expire July 27 (2 days remaining)
  • 45 High-priority vulnerabilities across enterprise systems
  • 38% patch availability rate requiring rapid assessment

Immediate action: URGENT: Federal agencies must address the 4 KEV vulnerabilities expiring July 27, 2025 (Sunday). Organizations should immediately assess WordPress ONLYOFFICE plugin deployments and review browser security policies. All critical vulnerabilities require rapid assessment given the low 38% patch availability rate.

How to read this brief

CVSS score (e.g. 9.1) — severity from 0–10. Red marks critical (9+), orange high (7–8.9).

Exploitability — how hard the flaw is to attack, read from the CVSS vector:

  • Network / Adjacent / Local / Physical — how close an attacker must get. Network means reachable over the internet.
  • No / Low / High privileges — the access they need first. No privileges means no login required.
  • No interaction / User interaction — whether a victim has to do something (open a file, click a link). No interaction means fully automatable.

The lower the bar on all three, the easier to exploit at scale — “Network · No privileges · No interaction” is the worst case: hit from anywhere, no credentials, no victim action.

Actively exploited — confirmed under attack in the wild (CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog). Prioritize these regardless of score.

EPSS · Nth percentile — FIRST.org’s estimated chance a flaw is exploited within 30 days. We flag it only in the top 10% — a statistical signal it’s unusually likely to be targeted, separate from whether attacks are confirmed.
