SysAid has patched a critical XML External Entity (XXE) flaw that lets unauthenticated attackers turn a routine /mdm check-in request into full administrator compromise—and, when chained with a newly disclosed command-injection bug, into remote code execution (RCE). The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-2775, affects all SysAid On-Prem deployments up to 23.3.40 and is now fixed in 24.4.60.

Security teams don’t need more alerts, they need fewer bottlenecks. In most organizations, remediation still runs on manual effort: ticket chasing, asset tagging, SLA tracking, endless email threads. It’s slow, fragmented, and risky for each organization. According to Seemplicity’s 2025 Remediation Operations Report, 91% of organizations face remediation delays, with the top two most common causes being collaboration and communication challenges (31%) and manual processes (19%).

Digital Risk Protection (DRP) lets organizations proactively identify and mitigate external threats that emerge from their digital footprints. This can span public sources as well as deep and dark web channels. DRP is a key element of Outpost24’s external attack surface management (EASM) platform, so we’re pleased to announce two new integrations have been added: Social Media and Data Leakage. These new DRP modules will help cybersecurity teams to.

RSA Conference 2025 in San Francisco was a breath of fresh air, literally and figuratively. The city felt more vibrant and welcoming, and the conference buzzed with genuine excitement. Unlike previous years, which were dominated by hype and theoretical discussions, this year’s focus was on tangible (not yet game-changing!) AI applications in cybersecurity. AI extended throughout the conference, from the keynotes through the track sessions and into the exhibition hall.

Recently, industry analyst Jon Oltsik outlined a critical shift underway in cybersecurity: the move toward a threat-informed defense. As Oltsik describes, organizations are beginning to strengthen the intersection of vulnerability scanning and threat intelligence, using AI to bolster asset classification and risk scoring. This evolution is essential as enterprises seek to move beyond fragmented security practices and build a more cohesive exposure management strategy.

On May 7, 2025, watchTowr publicly disclosed technical details and a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for a pre-authenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) chain affecting SysAid On-Premises, a self-hosted IT service management (ITSM) platform used by organizations to manage IT support tasks. Although the vulnerabilities were patched in March 2025, they had not been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifiers and were disclosed for the first time with watchTowr’s publication.

Let’s explore the critical role of Modbus in energy and manufacturing systems, then demonstrate real-world exploitation techniques using Docker-based simulations and the custom-built Python tool M.A.T.R.I.X. The danger here is an attacker who gains unauthorized access to a misconfigured Modbus TCP server can send malicious write commands to turn coils ON or OFF, thereby illegally activating or deactivating physical devices.

Software vulnerabilities are an unfortunate reality of enterprise IT. New vulnerabilities are being discovered all the time, and while most will never be exploited by an adversary, without a program to quickly discover and remediate high-priority vulnerabilities, organizations are putting themselves at risk.
