Seriously?! More Vulnerabilities?

Right, listen up. Apparently, some clowns over at Microsoft are still shipping shit with holes in it. This time it’s a whole heap of vulnerabilities – we’re talking about everything from Remote Code Execution (RCE) to Elevation of Privilege (EoP). Like, *seriously*? You’d think they’d have figured out basic security by now, but noooo. They need Patch Tuesday to fix the mess they created.

There’s a bunch of stuff in there affecting Windows, Office, and even some Azure components. The usual suspects, basically. They’re claiming fixes are available, so go patch your systems if you actually *care* about security. Don’t come crying to me when you get owned because you were too lazy.

Oh, and there was a mention of some stuff in third-party software too. Because, naturally, it’s never just Microsoft. It’s always a goddamn ecosystem of incompetence. Go check your vendors, update everything, and pray to whatever deity you believe in that nothing gets compromised.

Honestly, the whole thing is just… exhausting. Another month, another pile of security garbage to deal with. I swear, if I had a nickel for every vulnerability disclosed…

Related Anecdote: Back in ’08, I was babysitting a network for a small firm. They hadn’t patched their Windows servers in… well, let’s just say it was longer than anyone wanted to admit. A simple SQL injection attack took the whole damn thing down. The owner? Complained about *my* “aggressive” scanning that identified the problem. Some people just want to live in blissful ignorance until everything burns. Don’t be those people.
