Oh For Fuck’s Sake, CISA Says FileZen is Getting Raped by Script Kiddies Again
CISA has gone and dropped CVE-2026-25108 into their Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog because apparently you lot can’t be trusted to run a secure file transfer system without setting it on fire. FileZen, that bastard child of enterprise file sharing, has some remote code execution vulnerability that’s being actively exploited in the wild—which is management-speak for “script kiddies are already inside your network stealing your lunch money.”
The vulnerability, which I guarantee some overpaid consultant labeled “low priority” last month, allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. Translation: any drooling moron with an internet connection can now own your file server. And don’t give me that shit about “we were planning to patch next quarter”—you had eighteen fucking months since the patch came out, but oh no, you were too busy “optimizing workflows” or whatever buzzword diarrhea you call procrastination.
CISA’s giving you government employees until March 2026 to get your shit together and apply the patches, which is generous considering I wouldn’t give you until lunchtime. If you’re running FileZen versions 5.x or that ancient 4.2 build from the Stone Age, you’re basically advertising “FREE DATA” on the dark web. The attackers don’t even need credentials—they’re just waltzing in through the front door while you’re sitting there with your thumb up your arse.
So here’s the drill: patch your shit right fucking now, disconnect that ancient FileZen box from the internet if you can’t patch it, and maybe—just maybe—consider hiring someone who knows what “vulnerability management” means instead of promoting the CEO’s nephew who thinks Linux is a type of fabric softener.

I remember this one time back when I was just a humble mainframe, some bean-counter decided that “security patches were too disruptive to the monthly close process.” So he delayed patching the file server for six months. Six. Fucking. Months. Then he came crying to me when ransomware turned his precious Excel spreadsheets into digital confetti. I told him I’d restore the backups, but only after he completed a 47-step verification process involving three forms of ID, a blood sample, and a handwritten apology to every user whose data he’d jeopardized. He quit by email. I deleted the email.
