The Qilin ransomware group, active since July 2022 and utilizing Golang, has claimed a new victim, Danone (International Delights) in the US Agriculture and Food Production sector, employing double extortion tactics involving data encryption and threatened data release.

WatchGuard has released security advisories to address critical vulnerabilities, including a race condition, use-after-free, and local privilege escalation, in its Fireware OS and Mobile VPN with SSL client for Windows, which could lead to remote code execution on appliances and local privilege escalation on client systems if not patched immediately.

Multiple vulnerabilities in WatchGuard Firebox appliances allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code, cause a denial of service, manipulate or disclose data, and perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks, necessitating immediate patching to mitigate critical risks.

WatchGuard Agent on Windows (version 1.25.02.0000 and prior) is vulnerable to multiple privilege escalation and denial-of-service vulnerabilities, potentially allowing local attackers to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges or cause a denial of service.
