Google wants to shorten delays in the vulnerability lifecycle by sharing limited details about newly discovered defects within a week of reporting to the affected vendor.

The Departments of Energy, Homeland Security and Health and Human Services have been impacted.

Linen Typhoon, Violet Typhoon and Storm-2603 are behind the initial attack spree that erupted over the weekend. Other threat groups are now following suit.

Attackers have already used the exploit dubbed “ToolShell” to intrude hundreds of organizations globally, including private companies and government agencies.

French authorities said government agencies and businesses spanning telecom, media, finance and transportation were impacted by the widely exploited Ivanti vulnerabilities.

The vendor disclosed the critical zero-day in NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway nine days after it warned of a pair of defects in the same products.

A researcher tells CyberScoop that up to 80% of enterprises could be vulnerable to the zero-day Microsoft patched in its June update.

The most serious flaw in the monthly security update affects the Android system and could be exploited to achieve local escalation of privilege, the company said.

The besieged security vendor maintains the latest exploited vulnerabilities in its products are entirely linked to unspecified security issues in open-source libraries. Some researchers aren’t buying it.

The company has addressed zero-day vulnerabilities for eight consecutive months without deeming any of them critical at the time of disclosure.
