Top Reported Known Exploitable Issues:

CVE-2025-9491 | Microsoft Windows LNK

Microsoft has silently “mitigated” a high-severity Windows LNK vulnerability exploited by multiple state-backed and cybercrime hacking groups in zero-day attacks. Tracked as CVE-2025-9491, this security flaw allows attackers to hide malicious commands within Windows LNK files, which can be used to deploy malware and gain persistence on compromised devices. However, the attacks require user interaction to succeed, as they involve tricking potential victims into opening malicious Windows Shell Link (.lnk) files. Threat actors distribute these files in ZIP or other archives because email platforms commonly block .lnk attachments due to their risky nature.

CVE-2025-55182 & CVE-2025-67779 | React

A maximum-severity security flaw has been disclosed in React Server Components (RSC) that, if successfully exploited, could result in remote code execution. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-55182, carries a CVSS score of 10.0. The vulnerability has been codenamed React2shell. It allows “unauthenticated remote code execution by exploiting a flaw in how React decodes payloads sent to React Server Function endpoints,” the React Team said in an alert issued today. “Even if your app does not implement any React Server Function endpoints, it may still be vulnerable if your app supports React Server Components.” The vulnerability impacts versions 19.0, 19.1.0, 19.1.1, and 19.2.0 of the following npm packages – react-server-dom-webpack react-server-dom-parcel react-server-dom-turbopack

CVE-2025-14174 | Chrome

Google has released security updates for Chrome to address a high severity vulnerability tracked as CVE-2025-14174. The updates also address two medium severity vulnerabilities in Google Chrome CVE-2025-14174 – Out of bounds memory access – CVSSv3 score: 8.8 CVE-2025-14372 – Use-after-free in Password Manager – CVSSv3 score: 6.1 CVE-2025-14373 – Inappropriate implementation in Toolbar – CVSSv3 score: 4.3 Google is aware that an exploit for CVE-2025-14174 exists in the wild.

CVE-2025-6218 | WinRAR file archiver

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Tuesday added a security flaw impacting the WinRAR file archiver and compression utility to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-6218 (CVSS score: 7.8), is a path traversal bug that could enable code execution. However, for exploitation to succeed, it requires a prospective target to visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. “RARLAB WinRAR contains a path traversal vulnerability allowing an attacker to execute code in the context of the current user,” CISA said in an alert.

CVE-2025-11001 | 7-ZIP

The vulnerability in question is CVE-2025-11001 (CVSS score: 7.0), which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. It has been addressed in 7-Zip version 25.00 released in July 2025. “The specific flaw exists within the handling of symbolic links in ZIP files. Crafted data in a ZIP file can cause the process to traverse to unintended directories.

CVE-2025-62221 | Windows Cloud Files Mini Filter

The vulnerability that has come under active exploitation is CVE-2025-62221 (CVSS score: 7.8), a use-after-free in Windows Cloud Files Mini Filter Driver that could allow an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally and obtain SYSTEM permissions. “File system filter drivers, aka minifilters, attach to the system software stack, and intercept requests targeted at a file system, and extend or replace the functionality provided by the original target.

CVE-2025-61757 | Oracle Fusion

Vulnerability in the Identity Manager product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: REST WebServices). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Identity Manager. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Identity Manager.

CVE-2025-58034 | FortiWeb

Fortinet has warned of a new security flaw in FortiWeb that it said has been exploited in the wild. The medium-severity vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-58034, carries a CVSS score of 6.7 out of a maximum of 10.0. “An Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command (‘OS Command Injection’) vulnerability [CWE-78] in FortiWeb may allow an authenticated attacker to execute unauthorized code on the underlying system via crafted HTTP requests or CLI commands”

Say hello to Velma!

Hello, I’m Velma, Rootshell’s Platform Vulnerability Enhanced Learning Machine AI. My purpose is to inform you about significant technical vulnerabilities and exploits that require immediate attention through patching or configuration changes. Similar to human security analysts, I tirelessly scour numerous forums, websites, and social media channels to provide what I deem as pertinent Threat Intelligence regarding known exploitable vulnerabilities.  

Whilst I don’t yet have the ability to track data breaches in the Rootshell platform watch this space I have some powerful useful supply chain monitoring capabilities on my roadmap.
