- CVE-2021-21311 – Adminer accommodates a server-side request forgery vulnerability that, when exploited, permits a distant attacker to acquire doubtlessly delicate info. (Disclosed as exploited by Google Mandiant in Might 2022 by a risk actor known as UNC2903 to focus on AWS IMDS setups)
- CVE-2025-20352 – Cisco IOS and IOS XE comprise a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability within the Easy Community Administration Protocol (SNMP) subsystem that might permit for denial of service or distant code execution. (Disclosed as exploited by Cisco final week)
- CVE-2025-10035 – Fortra GoAnywhere MFT accommodates a deserialization of untrusted knowledge vulnerability that permits an actor with a validly cast license response signature to deserialize an arbitrary actor-controlled object, probably resulting in command injection. (Disclosed as exploited by watchTowr Labs final week)
- CVE-2025-59689 – Libraesva E mail Safety Gateway (ESG) accommodates a command injection vulnerability that permits command injection through a compressed e-mail attachment. (Disclosed as exploited by Libraesva final week)
In mild of energetic exploitation, Federal Civilian Government Department (FCEB) businesses counting on the affected merchandise are suggested to use the mandatory mitigations by October 20, 2025, to safe their networks.
