CISA Adds Gladinet and CWP Flaws to KEV Catalog — Because Apparently, Patching Is Too Bloody Hard

So, guess what? The bloody geniuses at CISA just slapped a couple more crappy vulnerabilities onto their Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) list. This time, it’s Gladinet and Control Web Panel (CWP) in the hot seat. Apparently, the cybersecurity gods decided we needed *more* dumpster fires to deal with. Who doesn’t love an emergency patch session right before Friday drinks?

Here’s the fun part: both these vulnerabilities are already being *actively exploited*. Yeah, that’s right — the bad guys are poking those systems like they’re free candy. Gladinet (which runs that CentreStack file sharing mess) has a lovely remote code execution hole that lets attackers play sysadmin from afar. Meanwhile, CWP’s gift to the world is another delightful bug that lets hackers waltz right in without so much as a knock. Security? Pfft. Optional, apparently.

CISA, in their infinite wisdom, has told federal agencies — and by extension, every poor bastard running affected software — to patch their systems faster than a caffeinated squirrel on a hotplate. Failure to do so? Well, enjoy the sound of ransomware chewing through your infrastructure like termites in a timber house.

Basically, it’s the same shit, different day: vendors release crap, hackers find the crap, and CISA cleans up the crap *after* everyone’s already knee-deep in it. Lovely industry we’ve built here, isn’t it?

If you’re smart (read: not a total muppet), you’ll slam those patches in NOW or prepare your “we were targeted by sophisticated adversaries” excuse for management.

Reminds me of that time a manager asked me why the firewall blocked his “important” website during work hours. Turns out his “research” site was literally streaming pirated films from Russia. I told him if he wanted malware shoved up his backside, I could arrange it faster. He didn’t laugh. I did. Hard.
