Five New Ways the Internet is on Fire (Again)

Oh, look, another cheery day in cybersecurity hell. CISA’s thrown five new bugs into their “Known Exploited Vulnerabilities” collection — because clearly, we didn’t have enough digital dumpster fires to deal with already. This time the rogues’ gallery includes familiar names like Oracle and Microsoft. Yeah, those bastions of flawless, never-broken software engineering.

Apparently, some genius attackers are joyriding through crap like Oracle WebLogic, Microsoft Exchange, and Windows, exploiting all the usual lazy-arse misconfigurations and unpatched holes. So now admins everywhere are panic-patching faster than you can say “change window denied.” CISA, being the helpful bunch they are, gave everyone a tight deadline to fix this shit — otherwise, expect your network to get abducted by script kiddies and ransomware pushers before lunch.

The parade of idiocy continues: these bugs have been seen actively exploited in the wild, which basically means someone’s already poking your backend while you’re still reading the advisory. Great job, humanity. Patch, reboot, repeat — same old merry-go-f***ing-round.

If you think this is going to be the last batch of “critical” patches this month, you must be higher than a sysadmin on expired Red Bull.

Reminds me of the time the boss told me to “just patch it quietly” during office hours. Half the company’s databases went belly up, HR cried, and I got blamed. But you know what? The servers were patched. Mission bloody accomplished.
