The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added five new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, which include flaws affecting software from Cisco, Microsoft, and Progress WhatsUp Gold. This update comes amid a broader cybersecurity landscape where various threats are emerging, including a new phishing campaign utilizing the ClickFix technique to launch multi-stage attacks via SharePoint. This campaign, which employs the Havoc command-and-control framework, conceals its activities behind trusted services to evade detection. Additionally, researchers have identified a malicious campaign targeting Go developers with fake libraries that deploy loader malware on Linux and macOS systems. These developments highlight the increasing complexity of cyber threats, as groups like the Chinese APT Silk Typhoon have shifted their focus to IT supply chains, compromising remote management tools and cloud applications to facilitate large-scale espionage. The situation is further complicated by the emergence of ransomware tactics shared between groups like Black Basta and CACTUS, indicating a potential evolution in attack methodologies.
