Forecast = Stormy with a chance of TikTok malware showers—exploit scoring systems hot, but patch management outlook remains partly cloudy. Welcome to Storm⚡️Watch! In this episode, we're diving into the current state of cyber weather with a mix of news, analysis, and practical insights. This week, we tackle a fundamental question: are all exploit scoring systems bad, or are some actually useful? We break down the major frameworks: **CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System):** The industry standard for assessing vulnerability severity, CVSS uses base, temporal, and environmental metrics to give a comprehensive score. It's widely used but has limitations—especially since it doesn't always reflect real-world exploitability. **Coalition Exploit Scoring System (ESS):** This system uses AI and large language models to predict the likelihood that a CVE will be exploited in the wild. ESS goes beyond technical severity, focusing on exploit availability and usage probabilities, helping organizations prioritize patching with better accuracy than CVSS alone. **EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System):** EPSS is a data-driven approach that estimates the probability of a vulnerability being exploited, using real-world data from honeypots, IDS/IPS, and more. It updates daily and helps teams focus on the most urgent risks. **VEDAS (Vulnerability & Exploit Data Aggregation System):** VEDAS aggregates data from over 50 sources and clusters vulnerabilities, providing a score based on exploit prevalence and maturity. It's designed to help teams understand which vulnerabilities are most likely to be actively exploited. **LEV/LEV2 (Likely Exploited Vulnerabilities):** Proposed by NIST, this metric uses historical EPSS data to probabilistically assess exploitation, helping organizations identify high-risk vulnerabilities that might otherwise be missed. **CVSS BT:** This project enriches CVSS scores with real-world threat intelligence, including data from CISA KEV, ExploitDB, and more. It's designed to help organizations make better patching decisions by adding context about exploitability. Next, we turn our attention to a troubling trend: malware distribution via TikTok. Attackers are using AI-generated videos, disguised as helpful software activation tutorials, to trick users into running malicious PowerShell commands. This “ClickFix” technique has already reached nearly half a million views. The malware, including Vidar and StealC, runs entirely in memory, bypassing traditional security tools and targeting credentials, wallets, and financial data. State-sponsored groups from Iran, North Korea, and Russia have adopted these tactics, making it a global concern. For employees, the takeaway is clear: never run PowerShell commands from video tutorials, and always report suspicious requests to IT. For IT teams, consider disabling the Windows+R shortcut for standard users, restrict PowerShell execution, and update security awareness training to include social media threats. We also highlight the latest from Censys, VulnCheck, runZero, and GreyNoise—industry leaders providing cutting-edge research and tools for vulnerability management and threat intelligence. Don't miss GreyNoise's upcoming webinar on resurgent vulnerabilities and their impact on organizational security. And that's a wrap for this episode! We will be taking a short break from Storm Watch for the summer. We look forward to bringing more episodes to you in the fall! Storm Watch Homepage >> Learn more about GreyNoise >>

Mayday. Mayday. May Patch Tuesday? This month's episode dives into four key Windows vulnerabilities you need to address — from scripting engine memory corruption in legacy Internet Explorer components to remote code execution risks in Remote Desktop and Visual Studio. Ryan Braunstein and Mat Lee unpack what each CVE means for your environment, how attackers might exploit them, and what you can do to stay secure. If your org still leans on that one app tied to Internet Explorer, relies heavily on RDP, or builds with Visual Studio, this one's for you.

When artificial intelligence can generate code, write tests, and even simulate threat models, how do we still ensure security? That's the question John Sapp Jr. and Alex Kreilein examine in this energizing conversation about trust, risk management, and the future of application security.The conversation opens with a critical concern: not just how to adopt AI securely, but how to use it responsibly. Alex underscores the importance of asking a simple question often overlooked—why do you trust this output? That mindset, he argues, is fundamental to building responsible systems, especially when models are generating code or influencing decisions at scale.Their conversation surfaces an emerging gap between automation and assurance. AI tools promise speed and performance, but that speed introduces risk if teams are too quick to assume accuracy or ignore validation. John and Alex discuss this trust gap and how the zero trust mindset—so common in network security—must now apply to AI models and agents, too.They share a key concern: technical debt is back, this time in the form of “AI security debt”—risk accumulating faster than most teams can keep up with. But it's not all gloom. They highlight real opportunities for security and development teams to reprioritize: moving away from chasing every CVE and toward higher-value work like architecture reviews and resiliency planning.The conversation then shifts to the foundation of true resilience. For Alex, resilience isn't about perfection—it's about recovery and response. He pushes for embedding threat modeling into unit testing, not just as an afterthought but as part of modern development. John emphasizes traceability and governance across the organization: ensuring the top understands what's at stake at the bottom, and vice versa.One message is clear: context matters. CVSS scores, AI outputs, scanner alerts—all of it must be interpreted through the lens of business impact. That's the art of security today.Ready to challenge your assumptions about secure AI and modern AppSec? This episode will make you question what you trust—and how you build.___________Guests: Alex Kreilein, Vice President of Product Security, Qualys | https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexkreilein/John Sapp Jr., Vice President, Information Security & CISO, Texas Mutual Insurance Company | https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnbsappjr/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.com___________Episode SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974Akamai: https://itspm.ag/akamailbwcBlackCloak: https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebSandboxAQ: https://itspm.ag/sandboxaq-j2enArcher: https://itspm.ag/rsaarchwebDropzone AI: https://itspm.ag/dropzoneai-641ISACA: https://itspm.ag/isaca-96808ObjectFirst: https://itspm.ag/object-first-2gjlEdera: https://itspm.ag/edera-434868___________ResourcesJP Morgan Chase Open Letter: An open letter to third-party suppliers: https://www.jpmorgan.com/technology/technology-blog/open-letter-to-our-suppliersLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsa-conference-usa-2025-rsac-san-francisco-usa-cybersecurity-event-infosec-conference-coverageCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

Forecast = Cloudy with a chance of zero-days-watch for Spellbinder storms and scattered Git leaks! ‍ On this episode of Storm⚡️Watch, the crew dives into the fast-moving world of vulnerability tracking and threat intelligence, spotlighting how defenders are moving beyond the traditional CVE system to keep pace with real-world attacks. The show kicks off with a look at the latest listener poll, always a source of lively debate, before jumping into some of the most pressing cybersecurity stories of the week. A major focus of this episode is the recent revelation that a China-aligned APT group, dubbed TheWizards, is using a tool called Spellbinder to abuse IPv6 SLAAC for adversary-in-the-middle attacks. This technique lets attackers move laterally through networks by hijacking software update mechanisms-specifically targeting popular Chinese applications like Sogou Pinyin and Tencent QQ-to deliver malicious payloads such as the modular WizardNet backdoor. The crew unpacks how this approach leverages IPv6's stateless address autoconfiguration to intercept and redirect legitimate traffic, underscoring the evolving sophistication of lateral movement techniques in targeted campaigns. The episode then turns to Google's 2024 zero-day exploitation analysis, which reports a drop in the total number of zero-days exploited compared to last year but highlights a worrying shift: attackers are increasingly targeting enterprise products and infrastructure. Microsoft, Ivanti, Palo Alto Networks, and Cisco are among the most targeted vendors, with nearly half of all zero-day exploits now aimed at enterprise systems and network appliances. The discussion covers how attackers are chaining vulnerabilities for more impactful breaches and why defenders need to be vigilant as threat actors pivot to harder-to-monitor enterprise environments. Censys is in the spotlight for its recent research and tooling, including a new Ports & Protocols Dashboard that gives organizations granular visibility into their attack surface across all ports and protocols. This helps teams quickly spot risky exposures and misconfigurations, making it easier to prioritize remediation efforts and automate alerting for high-risk assets. The crew also highlights Censys's collaborative work on botnet hunting and their ongoing push to retire stale threat indicators, all of which are reshaping proactive defense strategies. runZero's latest insights emphasize the importance of prioritizing risks at the asset stack level, not just by CVE. The crew explains how misconfigurations, outdated software, and weak network segmentation can create stacked risks that traditional scanners might miss, urging listeners to adopt a more holistic approach to asset management and vulnerability prioritization. Rounding out the episode, GreyNoise shares new research on a dramatic spike in scanning for Ivanti Connect Secure VPNs and a surge in crawling activity targeting Git configuration files. These trends highlight the persistent risk of codebase exposure and the critical need to secure developer infrastructure, as exposed Git configs can lead to the leak of sensitive credentials and even entire codebases. As always, the show wraps up with some final thoughts and goodbyes, leaving listeners with actionable insights and a reminder to stay vigilant in the face of rapidly evolving cyber threats. If you have questions or want to hear more about any of these topics, let us know-what's on your mind this week? Storm Watch Homepage >> Learn more about GreyNoise >>

CVE was at real risk of closure after its contract was set to expire on April 16. The nonprofit MITRE runs CVE on a contract with the DHS. A letter last Tuesday sent Tuesday by Yosry Barsoum, vice president of MITRE, gave notice of the potential halt to operations. Another possible victim of the current administration. CVE Foundation Launched to Secure the Future of the CVE Program CVE Board members have spent the past year developing a strategy to transition CVE to a dedicated, non-profit foundation. The new CVE Foundation will focus solely on continuing the mission of delivering high-quality vulnerability identification and maintaining the integrity and availability of CVE data for defenders worldwide. Over the coming days, the Foundation will release more information about its structure, transition planning, and opportunities for involvement from the broader community.
