Archived Security Snapshot

Critical vulnerabilities, curated daily for security professionals

Archived Security Brief

Monday's vulnerability disclosures contain zero critical-severity CVEs, unchanged from the prior day's count. High-priority vulnerabilities increased 14% to 16 issues requiring attention. Three actively exploited vulnerabilities were added to the CISA KEV catalog, a 40% decrease from Sunday's five additions, affecting ASUS Live Update, Digiever DS-2105 Pro, and MongoDB Server. All three KEV entries carry CVSS 9.5 scores despite the absence of newly disclosed critical CVEs in the general pool. No patches are currently available for the disclosed vulnerabilities, requiring organizations to implement compensating controls.

  • Zero critical CVEs disclosed, unchanged from prior day
  • 16 high-priority vulnerabilities, up 14% from Sunday's 14
  • Three actively exploited CVEs targeting ASUS, Digiever, and MongoDB products
  • 0% patch availability across all disclosed vulnerabilities
  • KEV additions all rated CVSS 9.5 affecting enterprise infrastructure components

Immediate action: Organizations using ASUS Live Update, Digiever DS-2105 Pro NVR systems, or MongoDB deployments should prioritize network segmentation and access controls for these systems. Monitor vendor security advisories for upcoming patches given the current zero percent 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.
