Episode Details

In this episode of Prime Cyber Insights, we break down the urgent security updates from Progress Software regarding MOVEit Automation, specifically the CVSS 9.8 authentication bypass vulnerability. We contrast this with active exploitation reports for the MetInfo CMS, where a code injection flaw is being leveraged for remote code execution. Our analysis deepens with a look at the systemic risk posed by unmanaged OAuth grants—persistent tokens that stay active even after employee departure or password resets. We examine the Drift incident as a case study for why standard perimeter controls and MFA are often insufficient against token-based attacks. Finally, we review Microsoft's findings on a massive code-of-conduct-themed phishing campaign and the latest multi-platform supply chain espionage from North Korean threat actor ScarCruft.
