CISA’s latest KEV catalog update — which adds three high-profile, actively exploited vulnerabilities impacting Cisco, SonicWall, and ASUS products — is another hard reminder that modern vulnerability management is no longer optional. Federal agencies already face binding deadlines under BOD...
Microsoft and U.S. cyber authorities have issued an emergency-style alarm after a fast-moving, self-replicating supply‑chain worm — now widely discussed as Shai‑Hulud 2.0 — began executing during npm package installation, harvesting developer and cloud credentials and propagating automatically...
The Rust shlex crate has a security blind spot: versions prior to 1.2.1 allowed the characters { and the non‑breaking space (0xA0) to appear unquoted in quoted arguments, which can turn a single intended argument into multiple tokens when that output is passed to a shell — a condition that can...
cJSON version 1.7.15 contains a parsing defect (tracked as CVE‑2023‑26819) that can be triggered by a crafted JSON document and lead to denial‑of‑service conditions—developers and operators should treat this as a reliability and supply‑chain risk and apply vendor or distribution fixes...
The disclosure of CVE-2021-23445 exposes a subtle but consequential Cross‑Site Scripting (XSS) weakness in the popular DataTables library: versions of datatables.net prior to 1.11.3 fail to escape array contents passed into the HTML escape routine, allowing unescaped HTML/JavaScript to reach a...
Microsoft, NVIDIA and Anthropic have forged a coordinated, high‑stakes realignment of AI infrastructure that — beyond headline competition — directly reshapes how supply chains will access compute, embed frontier models into planning systems, and manage the operational risks of mission‑critical...
Cegeka, the Belgian IT group and parent company of CTG, has been named the 2025 Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Partner of the Year — a recognition announced in syndicated press releases and framed by the company as validation of its expanding Microsoft practice and global delivery...
Microsoft’s preview of Signing Transparency for Azure is an important and practical step toward making software signing verifiably accountable across modern supply chains — it pairs traditional cryptographic signing with an append‑only transparency ledger and confidential hardware to provide...
Microsoft is preparing a major rework of where its hardware is built: according to multiple reports, the company has asked suppliers to shift production of Surface devices — and parts of its server and Xbox supply chains — out of China with the stated aim of having the bulk of new Surface and...
HappyRobot’s quietly ambitious push to automate the invisible labor that keeps global commerce moving is more than another silicon‑era startup story—it’s a case study in how verticalized AI, pragmatic engineering, and enterprise partnerships can together reshape the operational backbone of...
Oracle and Microsoft’s joint blueprint promises to pull live shop‑floor signals into enterprise workflows — a practical move toward real‑time supply chain automation that could shorten decision cycles, reduce downtime, and make factory data actionable across Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM.

Oracle and Microsoft have moved from guarded cooperation to an operational partnership that promises to speed decision-making across complex logistics networks by placing Oracle‑managed database services inside Azure datacenters and wiring those data planes into Azure’s AI, analytics, and...
A newly recorded vulnerability, tracked as CVE‑2025‑2884, exposes an out‑of‑bounds read in the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) TPM 2.0 reference implementation — specifically within the CryptHmacSign helper — and the flaw can allow sensitive memory contents or secrets to be leaked from affected...
A fast-moving, self‑replicating supply‑chain worm has infiltrated the npm ecosystem, harvesting developer credentials and using stolen tokens to republish trojanized packages that in turn spread the infection — a campaign now tracked as “Shai‑Hulud” that security teams and national agencies warn...
Windows 10 will stop receiving free security fixes on October 14, 2025 — and if your PC can’t take the free Windows 11 upgrade, you have five realistic paths forward: enroll in Extended Security Updates (ESU), buy or rent a new Windows 11 PC (including cloud PCs), perform an unsupported upgrade...
