Archived Security Snapshot

Critical vulnerabilities, curated daily for security professionals

Archived Security Brief

Saturday's vulnerability landscape shows nine critical vulnerabilities (CVSS 9.0+), a 31% decrease from Friday's thirteen issues, while high-priority disclosures increased to 100 CVEs representing a 32% increase. The actively exploited vulnerability count expanded to eleven issues including newly added Sierra Wireless AirLink ALEOS and additional Android Framework entries. Notable critical vulnerabilities include WordPress plugin arbitrary file deletion (CVE-2025-14344), Apache insufficiently protected credentials (CVE-2025-58130), and Dormakaba Saflok physical access control system vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-58311). Zero patch availability across all 109 vulnerabilities continues to require compensating controls and enhanced weekend monitoring given reduced staffing levels.

  • Nine critical vulnerabilities (CVSS 9.0+), a 31% decrease from Friday's thirteen critical issues
  • 100 high-priority vulnerabilities (CVSS 7.0-8.9), a 32% increase from Friday's 76 issues
  • Eleven actively exploited vulnerabilities requiring priority remediation, including newly cataloged Sierra Wireless AirLink and additional Android Framework entries
  • Zero patch availability across all 109 vulnerabilities requires implementation of compensating controls
  • Critical infrastructure affected: Dormakaba Saflok physical access systems, OpenPLC SCADA, D-Link network devices
  • WordPress ecosystem vulnerabilities include Gravity Forms plugin arbitrary file deletion and LazyTasks privilege escalation

Immediate action: Security teams should prioritize the eleven actively exploited vulnerabilities, particularly the newly cataloged Sierra Wireless AirLink ALEOS and Android Framework issues. Organizations using Dormakaba Saflok physical access systems, OpenPLC SCADA, or D-Link network devices should implement network segmentation and enhanced monitoring. Given zero patch availability and weekend staffing reductions, teams should establish clear escalation procedures and ensure monitoring coverage for critical infrastructure systems.

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.
