In today's episode, we discuss significant security vulnerabilities found in Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) protocol libraries, potentially allowing attackers to execute remote code or crash industrial devices. We also cover the sudden blockade of Discord in Russia and Turkey due to illegal activity, affecting user access, and the release of exploit code for a critical GitLab authentication bypass flaw, CVE-2024-45409, which could allow unauthorized access to GitLab installations. Lastly, we explore the GoldenJackal APT group’s sophisticated attacks targeting air-gapped systems in Europe for cyberespionage purposes.
