Incident Alerts & Phishing Campaigns

• Google has warned that a sophisticated Salesloft attack may have compromised Workspace accounts and Salesforce instances. The breach, which appears larger than initially thought, has led to additional warnings for Salesforce customers after threat actors stole Salesloft Drift data via compromised OAuth access tokens. More details on these incidents are available via [Google’s security alerts](https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/) and [Salesforce trust](https://trust.salesforce.com/).

• A new phishing campaign has targeted Microsoft Teams users with threat actors impersonating IT helpdesk personnel. By exploiting Teams’ external communication features, the attackers bypass traditional email security measures to gain unauthorized remote access.

Critical Vulnerabilities & Zero-Day Exploits

A number of high-severity vulnerabilities have been identified across various products and platforms:

1. FreePBX Servers – A zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2025-57819, CVSS 10.0) has been exploited since August 2025, permitting unauthenticated admin access and remote code execution. Administrators are urged to update to patched versions (15.0.66, 16.0.89, 17.0.3). Details can be found on the [FreePBX project page](https://www.freepbx.org/).

2. iND Co.,Ltd Products – An OS command injection vulnerability (CVE-2025-53508, Severity 8.6 – HIGH) may allow attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands. More on command injection vulnerabilities can be read at the [MITRE CVE database](https://cve.mitre.org/).

3. Ai3 QbiCRMGateway – An arbitrary file reading vulnerability (CVE-2025-9639, Severity 8.7 – HIGH) allows unauthenticated file downloads via Relative Path Traversal.

4. Changing TSA and Clinic Image System – Two separate issues include a missing authentication vulnerability (CVE-2025-8861, 9.8 – CRITICAL) that allows database manipulation, and a SQL Injection vulnerability (CVE-2025-8858, 8.7 – HIGH) risking unauthorized database access. Additionally, hard-coded credentials (CVE-2025-8857, 9.8 – CRITICAL) further heightens the risk.

5. Tenda AC21/AC23 – A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2025-9605, Severity 10.0) can be triggered remotely, with public exploit disclosures already available. For more guidance, consult [Tenda’s security advisory](https://www.tendacn.com/).

6. HikCentral Professional – An access control vulnerability (CVE-2025-39247, Severity 8.6 – HIGH) may allow an unauthenticated user to escalate privileges and gain administrator access.

7. Valtimo Business Process Automation – A critical remote code execution and data access vulnerability (CVE-2025-58059, Severity 9.1 – CRITICAL) affects earlier versions of the platform. Upgrading to version 12.16.0 or 13.1.2 is strongly recommended. See more on similar vulnerabilities via [NVD](https://nvd.nist.gov/).

8. Paymenter – A file upload vulnerability (CVE-2025-58048, Severity 9.9 – CRITICAL) in Paymenter versions before 1.2.11 allows authenticated users to upload arbitrary files. Administrators are advised to upgrade immediately or apply recommended mitigations such as updating web server configurations or using a robust WAF like [Cloudflare](https://www.cloudflare.com/).

9. JetBrains IDE Services – A privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2025-58334, Severity 8.1 – HIGH) allows users without appropriate permissions to assign high-privileged roles. More details are available on [JetBrains’ security advisories](https://www.jetbrains.com/security/).

10. Nagios XI – A remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2024-13986, Severity 8.7 – HIGH) in versions prior to 2024R1.3.2 stems from chained flaws (arbitrary file upload and path traversal). Visit the [Nagios website](https://www.nagios.com/) for patch and mitigation information.
