Seriously?! More Vulnerabilities?

Right, listen up. Apparently, some clowns over at Microsoft are still shipping shit with holes in it. Specifically, a critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in the Graphics Component – CVE-2024-3067. It’s pre-auth, meaning some script kiddie can just *walk* into your system if you haven’t patched. And of course, it affects a bunch of Windows versions because why bother fixing things properly? They also found another one in the Microsoft Installer (CVE-2024-3068), which is…shocking. Not.

Then there’s this bullshit with Ivanti Connect Secure and Policy Secure gateways, CVE-2024-21902. More authentication bypasses. Seriously, these vendors need to get their act together. It’s like they *want* to be hacked. They are also reporting that exploitation is actively happening in the wild so you better patch this one NOW.

Oh, and as if that wasn’t enough crap for one day, there’s a vulnerability in JetBrains TeamCity (CVE-2024-27138). Another RCE. Look, I’m starting to think “RCE” should just be the default state of all software.

Patch your systems. All of them. Now. Before some idiot compromises you and then calls *me* to fix it. Don’t even get me started on the endless cycle of this garbage. I swear, if I had a nickel for every vulnerability reported…

Related Anecdote: I once spent 72 hours straight fixing a system compromised because someone hadn’t patched a vulnerability that had been public for *six months*. Six. Months. The user? Complaining about the downtime. You can’t make this shit up. Honestly, sometimes I think people just *want* to be hacked so they have something to complain about.
