Microsoft has released an out-of-band update to patch a critical vulnerability in Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). The update addresses CVE-2025-59287">CVE-2025-59287, a remote code execution flaw affecting Windows Server versions 2012 through 2025. The vulnerability stems from insecure deserialization of untrusted data, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code. A proof-of-concept exploit is publicly available. The vulnerability has been assigned a maximum severity level of "critical". Only servers with the WSUS role enabled are affected.

Red Lion's Sixnet RTUs provide advanced automation, control, and data acquisition capabilities in industrial automation and control systems, primarily across energy, water, and wastewater treatment, transportation, utilities, and manufacturing sectors. These industrial devices are configured using a Windows utility called Sixnet IO Tool Kit, with a proprietary Sixnet "Universal" protocol used to interface and enable communication between the kit and the RTUs.

A critical security flaw has been identified in Happy DOM, a widely used JavaScript library primarily employed for server-side rendering and testing frameworks. The vulnerability, cataloged as CVE-2025-61927, allows attackers to escape the library's virtual machine (VM) context, leading to potential remote code execution on vulnerable systems. This flaw threatens millions of applications that depend on Happy DOM. The root of this vulnerability lies in the improper isolation of the Node.js VM context within Happy DOM versions 19 and earlier.

DrayTek on Thursday announced patches for an unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability affecting DrayOS routers. Tracked as CVE-2025-10547, the issue can be exploited via crafted HTTP or HTTPS requests sent to a vulnerable device's web user interface. Successful exploitation of the bug, DrayTek explains in its advisory, may result in memory corruption and a system crash. In certain circumstances, it could be used to execute arbitrary code remotely, it says.

Samsung has issued a patch to resolve a critical vulnerability impacting its Android smartphone users. All impacted phone models will receive the fix, which patches a vulnerability tracked as . The security flaw, issued a critical base score of 8.8 by Samsung Mobile (a CNA), is described as an "out-of-bounds write in libimagecodec.quram.so prior to SMR Sep-2025 Release 1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code."

Activision has brought Call of Duty: World War II back to the Microsoft Store and Xbox PC App after it was removed more than a month ago, though the company has still not said a word about what happened. A statement released on August 27 confirmed that the 2017 game has returned, and is once again available for PC Game Pass players. However, there was no explanation as to anything else related to the game's removal on July 4.

CVE-2024-8068 (CVSS score: 5.1) - An improper privilege management vulnerability in Citrix Session Recording that could allow for privilege escalation to NetworkService Account access when an attacker is an authenticated user in the same Windows Active Directory domain as the session recording server domain CVE-2024-8069 (CVSS score: 5.1) - A deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability in Citrix Session Recording that allows limited remote code execution with the privileges of a NetworkService Account access when an attacker is an authenticated user on the same intranet as the session recording server

The vulnerabilities include CVE-2025-21479 (CVSS score: 8.6) and CVE-2025-27038 (CVSS score: 7.5), both of which were disclosed alongside CVE-2025-21480 (CVSS score: 8.6) by the chipmaker back in June 2025.

The game is not safe to play on PC right now, there's an RCE exploit, which allows hackers the ability to plant malware capable of essentially taking control of a victim's device.

A crafted file path can cause the process to traverse to unintended directories. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user.

These vulnerabilities could be remotely exploited to allow remote code execution, disclosure of information, server-side request forgery, authentication bypass, arbitrary file deletion, and directory traversal information disclosure vulnerabilities.
