Archived Security Snapshot

Critical vulnerabilities, curated daily for security professionals

Archived Security Brief

Monday's security landscape reveals 6 critical vulnerabilities, a 100% increase from Sunday's 3 critical disclosures. High-priority CVEs decreased 13% to 46, indicating a shift toward more severe findings. The 11 actively exploited vulnerabilities remain unchanged, with notable entries targeting Android Framework, Microsoft Windows, WinRAR, and GeoServer. Critical findings include multiple Shiguangwu sgwbox vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-14707, CVE-2025-14708, CVE-2025-14709) all scoring CVSS 9.8, alongside Tenda product flaws. Patch availability stands at 0%, requiring organizations to implement compensating controls until vendor updates become available.

  • Critical CVEs doubled from 3 to 6, a 100% increase from Sunday
  • High-priority CVEs decreased 13% to 46 disclosures
  • 11 actively exploited vulnerabilities targeting Android Framework, Microsoft Windows, WinRAR, GeoServer, and D-Link routers
  • 0% patch availability requires immediate compensating control implementation
  • Shiguangwu sgwbox and Tenda products account for all 6 critical vulnerabilities

Immediate action: Prioritize network segmentation and access restrictions for affected Shiguangwu sgwbox devices, Tenda products, and systems running Android Framework, WinRAR, or GeoServer. With zero patches currently available, implement web application firewalls, disable unnecessary services, and enhance monitoring for exploitation indicators. Monday staffing should account for assessing exposure to the actively exploited vulnerabilities across infrastructure.

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.
