Cybersecurity Alert: Major Vulnerabilities Exposed Today!

Daily Cybersecurity Briefing: A Torrent of Vulnerabilities Unveiled

Good day, cybersecurity enthusiasts! In today’s rundown, we’re seeing an onslaught of vulnerabilities making headlines across various vendors and devices, ranging from buffer overflows in networking equipment to deserialization and SQL injection pitfalls in popular web applications. Grab a cuppa as we unpack the latest alerts and insights from the cybersecurity frontlines.

New Privilege Escalation and Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

A notable issue involves CVE-2025-47601, where MaxiBlocks is found lacking proper authorisation, thereby opening a door for privilege escalation. With a high severity rating of 8.8, this vulnerability underlines the importance of robust access controls.

Similarly, several critical buffer overflow vulnerabilities have been identified in Tenda devices (including CVE-2025-5799, CVE-2025-5798, CVE-2025-5795, and CVE-2025-5794). These vulnerabilities stem from functions processing wireless settings and LAN configurations, making remote exploitation a real risk. These issues serve as a timely reminder to regularly patch and review device configurations.

Weak Defaults and Authentication Bypasses in IoT Devices

Default configurations can be a hacker’s best friend, as seen in CVE-2025-2766. This flaw in 70mai A510 exposes installations to authentication bypass—so beware of default passwords that may still be lingering on your devices.

In a similar vein, a series of vulnerabilities have been spotted in TOTOLINK devices (CVE-2025-5793, CVE-2025-5792, CVE-2025-5789, CVE-2025-5790, CVE-2025-5788, CVE-2025-5787, CVE-2025-5786, and CVE-2025-5785). With these issues impacting various HTTP POST request handlers, attackers can remotely trigger buffer overflows with ease—a reminder to never underestimate the old adage: “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Emerging Threats in EV Charger and Critical Software

The world of EV charging isn’t exempt from cyber misadventures either. CVE-2025-5750, CVE-2025-5748, and CVE-2025-5747 target WOLFBOX Level 2 EV Chargers, exposing them to remote code execution through heap and command parsing vulnerabilities. As the mobility sector evolves, so too must our vigilance against lurking cyber risks.

Additionally, Apache Software’s CVE-2025-41646 reflects a severe authentication bypass due to type confusion, leaving systems open to full compromise. This is particularly critical, with a near-critical severity rating of 9.8, reinforcing the need for stringent type handling and validation in software development.

Web Application Vulnerabilities: SQL Injection, Deserialization and XSS

Web applications are also taking a hit. CVE-2025-49323 brings to light SQL injection risks in the Themefic Hydra Booking plugin, while deserialization vulnerabilities in Axiomthemes Sweet Dessert (CVE-2025-49073) and AncoraThemes Mr. Murphy (CVE-2025-49072) could lead to object injection attacks. Meanwhile, CVE-2025-28986 in the Webaholicson Epicwin Plugin shows that even CSRF combined with SQL injection can be a dangerous cocktail.

Not to be outdone, CVE-2025-5806 in the Jenkins Gatling Plugin highlights a cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw that circumvents Content-Security-Policy protocols, once again reminding us that diligent adherence to safe coding practices is no optional extra.

Industry Alerts and Broader Security Concerns

Beyond individual vulnerabilities, organisations are being urged to rethink their cyber resilience strategies. A Dorset firm has recently stressed the importance of preparing for cyber attack recovery, with cyber-attacks on mining and energy sectors reportedly costing millions. In a parallel development, the FBI, alongside CISA, has issued a joint advisory regarding a widespread Play ransomware campaign, while concerns have been raised about botnets exploiting vulnerabilities in Wazuh Server to launch Mirai-based assaults.

The ongoing scramble in the digital threat landscape demonstrates that no sector is immune—even remote work setups and seemingly secure devices must be continually assessed. As cyber risks evolve, compliance experts like those at Synergos Consultancy in Huddersfield offer valuable guidance in meeting stringent ISO certifications and cybersecurity best practices. Their expertise can help businesses navigate these turbulent times without missing a beat.

In a nutshell, today’s news reiterates that cybersecurity is very much a team sport. Whether you’re managing network devices or the latest web applications, keeping systems patched and practices updated is your best defence. Stay safe, stay vigilant, and remember—a proactive approach today can save a world of trouble tomorrow.
