In 2024, a total of 768 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) were exploited by threat actors, marking a 20% increase from the 639 reported in 2023. This alarming trend indicates that nearly 25% of these vulnerabilities were weaponized on the same day they were disclosed. The rise in exploitation comes amid warnings from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) regarding critical vulnerabilities in popular enterprise software, including Apache OFBiz and Microsoft .NET Framework. Additionally, new malware variants linked to North Korean hackers, known as FlexibleFerret, have been discovered, which evade Apple's XProtect security measures. These variants are deployed through fake job offers and disguised app updates, posing significant risks to macOS users. Furthermore, Russian cybercriminals are exploiting a newly identified 7-Zip vulnerability (CVE-2025-0411) to target Ukrainian organizations, allowing for remote code execution via malicious archives. The ongoing security threats underscore the urgent need for enhanced cybersecurity measures.
