CISA Waves the Bloody Red Flag at Microsoft Office and HPE — Again

Well, what a shocker – another day, another pair of bloated corporate software clowns screwing the pooch. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) just slapped Microsoft Office and HPE OneView onto their “Known Exploited Vulnerabilities” list, because apparently, patching critical shit isn’t high on anyone’s to-do list.

First up, Microsoft Office – that bloated monstrosity we all tolerate because everyone else uses it. Some clever sod figured out how to exploit a previously patched bug to run arbitrary code. Translation: some bastard can hijack your system through a document, and your antivirus will probably just sit there and yawn. And because it’s Microsoft, you just know there’s *another* patch coming that’ll fix the bug while introducing three new ones. Fantastic.

Meanwhile, HPE OneView — that “infrastructure management platform” that’s supposed to make life easier — has its own bloody nightmare. There’s a critical vulnerability that lets remote attackers do whatever the hell they like if you were dumb enough to expose it online. Exploited in the wild, naturally. Because why the hell not? If you’re managing servers with HPE gear, congratulations — you’re now the admin of a compromised playground.

CISA’s basically screaming, “PATCH THE DAMN THINGS,” giving federal agencies a tight deadline. Not that half of them will manage to do it before the next round of disasters rolls in. Same old cybersecurity soap opera — users clicking dumb attachments, vendors playing patch whack-a-mole, and everyone else crossing their fingers hoping not to end up in the next breach headline.

Reminds me of the time I told a user to reboot their laptop to fix a “slow system” — they pulled the bloody power cord out of the wall mid-update, nuked their data, and blamed *me*. So yeah, if you don’t patch these craploads of software now, you deserve every byte of chaos that follows.
