A vulnerability has been discovered in Google Chrome, which could allow for arbitrary code execution. Google Chrome is a web browser used to access the internet. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the logged-on user. Depending on the privileges associated with the user an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in VMware vCenter Server and Cloud Foundation, the most severe of which could allow for remote code execution. VMware vCenter Server is the centralized management utility for VMware. VMware Cloud Foundation is a multi-cloud platform that provides a full-stack hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) that is made for modernizing data centers and deploying modern container-based applications. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow for remote code execution in the context of the administrator account. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.

AT&T Cybersecurity warns that threat actors are abusing Microsoft Teams to launch phishing attacks: "Most Teams activity is intra-organizational, but Microsoft enables External Access by default, which allows members of one organization to add users outside the organization to their Teams chats. Perhaps predictably, this feature has provided malicious actors a new avenue by which to exploit untrained or unaware users." The researchers observed a threat actor using this vector to send phishing lures delivering the DarkGate malware.
The researchers conclude, "Unless absolutely necessary for daily business use, disabling External Access in Microsoft Teams is advisable for most companies, as email is generally a more secure and more closely monitored communication channel."
