Critical Cyber Flaws Exposed: Are You Safe?

Good day, cybersecurity enthusiasts! Here’s your daily roundup of the latest vulnerabilities and cyber developments from across the digital frontier. From privilege escalations in popular WordPress plugins to critical remote code execution flaws in network devices, today’s news covers a broad spectrum of issues that underscore the importance of robust cybersecurity practices.

Privilege Escalation and Web Application Vulnerabilities

A WordPress plugin used by photographers, Sunshine Photo Cart (up to version 3.4.11), has been hit by a serious vulnerability (CVE-2025-5482). The flaw arises when user-supplied keys aren’t properly validated, leaving even Subscriber-level accounts able to reset passwords – including those of administrators. In simple terms, it’s akin to giving everyone a spare key to the office!

An authentication bypass issue affecting the EIBPORT web server (CVE-2024-13967) further illustrates how a single overlooked configuration can let unauthorised users behind the digital curtain. Both of these vulnerabilities have been rated high with a severity score of 8.8, meaning prompt action is highly recommended.

Buffer Overflows and Remote Code Execution Flaws

Several devices are under the microscope today. D-Link’s DCS-932L (CVE-2025-5572) suffers from a stack-based buffer overflow in the system email function – a critical flaw that could allow remote attacks, especially worrying given the product is no longer supported. Likewise, Tenda’s RX3 (CVE-2025-5527) has a similar vulnerability in its static routing functionality.

In another concerning spate of discoveries, Audiocodes Mediapack (CVE-2025-32106) and Sangoma IMG2020 (CVE-2025-32105) have been identified with issues that could let an unauthenticated remote user execute unauthorized code, with severity ratings of 9.8 – placing them in the critical zone.

Mobile Processor and Data Integrity Concerns

Mobile processors are not immune either. Samsung’s Exynos line is once again in the spotlight with two separate vulnerabilities. The first (CVE-2025-23102) involves a Double Free error that might lead to privilege escalation, while the second (CVE-2025-23107) stems from out-of-bounds writes due to inadequate length checks. Both issues carry high-severity marks, highlighting the potential risks associated with hardware-level bugs.

Other Critical Developments

Additional vulnerabilities worth noting include:

• JEHC-BPM File Upload Issue (CVE-2025-45854): A flaw allowing arbitrary code execution via crafted file uploads.
• MailEnable XSS Vulnerability (CVE-2025-44148): A cross-site scripting issue that might let remote attackers execute arbitrary code.
• IBM QRadar Information Disclosure (CVE-2025-25022): A bug that could expose highly sensitive configuration details.
• TOTOLINK X15 Buffer Overflow (CVE-2025-5503): A stack-based buffer overflow in device management that can be remotely exploited.
• Foxcms SQL Time Injection (CVE-2025-46154): An SQL time injection that could have significant repercussions on database integrity.
• Tarfile Module Vulnerability (CVE-2025-4517): A rather unexpected find in Python’s tarfile module affecting source distribution extractions in versions 3.12 and later.

Cyber Innovation and the Bigger Picture

In a welcome change of pace from the vulnerability reports, CyberNorth and Sage have joined forces to bolster cybersecurity innovation in the UK Northeast. This initiative is focused on nurturing local digital talent and enhancing sector resilience. It’s always refreshing to see proactive measures alongside vulnerability disclosures – a reminder that investing in cyber preparedness is a win-win for both security and business continuity.

For businesses in West Yorkshire and beyond, staying compliant and securing your infrastructure is paramount. At Synergos Consultancy, we understand how even a single vulnerability can lead to significant disruptions and costly recovery efforts. Keeping an eye on daily updates like this can help ensure that your cybersecurity measures are always one step ahead of potential threats.

That’s all for today’s update – stay informed, stay secure, and remember: a stitch in time may save nine (or in this case, may save your network from a costly breach)!
