CISA’s Latest “Oh Bloody Hell” Moment: Dassault Products Hit Again

Well, well, well. Guess what the cybersecurity gods have dumped on us this week? CISA’s waving its hands in panic again because a couple of miserable security holes have popped up in Dassault’s software — yeah, that same fancy CAD and aerospace crap some of you geniuses rely on without patching for half a millennium.

These new beauties are CVE-2024-7280 and CVE-2024-7281, both being actively exploited in the wild. Translation: some enterprising bastards out there have already found their way into your systems and are probably doing unspeakable things to your data while you’re still arguing with procurement about upgrade licenses. Bravo.

Apparently, these flaws are in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform — clever marketing for “we shoved more bugs into a complex web app and called it innovation.” The first vulnerability lets attackers crash your system like a toddler with scissors at a wiring factory. The second? Remote code execution! Because god forbid software today doesn’t invite random internet hooligans to run their trash scripts on your million-dollar infrastructure.

CISA’s now added these to their “Known Exploited Vulnerabilities” list. That’s bureaucrat-speak for “patch this shit yesterday or prepare to cry.” If you don’t, they’ll probably come knocking, and you’ll end up explaining to some very serious people why your digital workshop just got turned into a botnet playground.

So yeah, grab those updates, patch your damn systems, and maybe tell your management that “maintenance window” isn’t code for “Netflix time.” Because the hackers sure as hell aren’t waiting around.

Reminds me of that one time I told the dev team to patch the damn CAD server, and they said, “It’s low priority.” Two days later, the thing was spitting out strange French error messages and serving pop-ups for crypto scams. I laughed, rebooted their access rights straight into oblivion, and went for coffee.
