CISA Adds Another Dumpster Fire — SolarWinds Strikes Again!

Oh look, it’s SolarWinds again. Because apparently, one catastrophic breach in history wasn’t bloody enough. This time, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has tossed another flaming chunk of Security Hell into their Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. The shiny new offender? A remote code execution (RCE) flaw in SolarWinds Web Help Desk. Yep, the same sort of crap that lets some opportunistic hacker run whatever the hell they want on your system — because why wouldn’t they, right?

CISA politely “recommends” that government and businesses fix the damn thing before it’s too late — as if people patch these disasters for fun. The vulnerability, a nice little present labeled CVE-2024-whatever, is already being exploited in the wild. Translation: attackers have their grubby little hands all up in places they shouldn’t be, and CISA’s basically screaming, “PATCH YOUR BLOODY SYSTEMS BEFORE EVERYTHING CATCHES FIRE!”

And of course, it’s the usual story — outdated software, lazy-ass patching, and bad configuration all dancing together at the “Please-Hack-Us” convention. SolarWinds must be getting close to their punch card: “Exploit 10 vulnerabilities, get a free PR disaster!”

Anyway, CISA has slapped an official deadline for patching (because apparently “immediately” isn’t specific enough). Everyone gets to scramble yet again, while sysadmins everywhere cry into their coffee and curse at the endless circus of bungled code that holds the internet together with duct tape and hope.

Reminds me of the time a junior dev asked me why our security logs were 200GB in a day. Turns out he’d accidentally exposed the test environment to the internet — with default creds. I let him fix it himself… after I changed his desktop wallpaper to “Cyber Hygiene: The Movie.” Starring him. In shame.
