Critical flaw reported in InstaWP Connect WordPress plugin
The InstaWP Connect WordPress plugin contains a critical Local File Inclusion vulnerability (CVE-2025-2636, CVSS 9.8) in versions up to 0.1.0.85 that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary PHP files, potentially leading to complete website compromise. Administrators should update to version 0.1.0.86 or later.

**If you have installed InstaWP Connect WordPress plugin, update it NOW. The update is trivial, and it's much easier to update a plugin and sleep easy than to worry whether you can be hacked.**

#CVE fallout: The splintering of the standard #vulnerability tracking system has begun
Earlier this week, CVE program faced doom as the #US #government discontinued funding for #MITRE, the non-profit that operates the program. Uncle Sam U-turned at the very last minute.
Meanwhile, the #EU is rolling its own. #EuropeanUnion Agency for #Cybersecurity (#ENISA) developed and maintains this alternative, which is known as the #EUVD, or the European Union Vulnerability Database.

Continued thread

"The reason you begin tracking your data is that you have
some uncertainty about yourself that you believe the data
can illuminate. It’s about introspection, reflection, seeing
patterns, and arriving at realizations about who you are
and how you might change."
—Eric Boyd, self-tracker

#CVE Foundation just dropped a FAQ.

Also, just FYI, I’ve been helping with the Foundation setup and goals articulation and logistics for the last few weeks. I didn’t expect we’d pull the trigger on being public this week, precisely, but here we are!

I’m not employed there or anything (I work at @runZeroInc) but since I care about CVE, I want to do what I can to make sure it thrives and we don’t wind up back again with 15 competing standards for #vulnerability tracking if USG funding goes 💨 poof! 💨 one day (or other single-source-funding style disasters).

Anyway, back to my ill-timed family vacation. I’ll be more online next week. :)

www.thecvefoundation.orgCVE Foundation - Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat do you believe? We believe that CVEs are the cornerstone of cybersecurity defense. Without a common language to communicate about vulnerabilities, chaos follows. This is why the CVE Program was created 25 years ago and it is even more true today. We believe in a free, publicly available

As part of the 2022 EU NIS2 directive, the EU agency for cybersecurity (ENISA) has been setting up the EU Vulnerability Database (EUVD) at euvd.enisa.europa.eu/ (now in beta).

Started as a collaboration with MITRE's authoritative CVE database, EUVD may now end up replacing it, as US funding for the CVE database has stopped.

"Hi,

Live from Belgium, all the public services of the French part of the country (Wallonia) are offline because a very serious intrusion has been discovered yesterday evening.

A friend told me it’s due to an exploited #zeroday #vulnerability in a Ivanti #VPN endpoint."

#US #local #climate #vulnerability From the #Environmental #Defense Fund, #Texas A&M University, and Darkhorse Analytics, the US Climate Vulnerability Index combines likely climate effects with other factors,... to show “what is driving the challenges, so policymakers and communities themselves can take action to build climate resilience where it is needed most.”
