The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-61882 (CVSS score: 9.8), concerns an unspecified bug that could allow an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise and take control of the Oracle Concurrent Processing component. In a post shared on LinkedIn, Charles Carmakal, CTO of Mandiant at Google Cloud, said "Cl0p exploited multiple vulnerabilities in Oracle EBS which enabled them to steal large amounts of data from several victims in August 2025," adding "multiple vulnerabilities were exploited including vulnerabilities that were patched in Oracle's July 2025 update as well as one that was patched this weekend (CVE-2025-61882)."

They haven't been fully security-tested and could pose risks if used incorrectly. Review the code before trying them, test only in safe environments, and follow all ethical, legal, and organizational rules. 🔒 Tip of the Week Quick Windows Hardening with Open-Source Tools — Most Windows attacks succeed not because of zero-days, but because of weak defaults — open ports, old protocols, reused admin passwords, or missing patches. Attackers exploit what's already there. A few small, smart changes can block most threats before they start. Harden your Windows systems using free, trusted open-source tools that cover audit, configuration, and monitoring. You don't need enterprise tools to raise your defense baseline — just a few solid steps. Quick Actions (Under 30 Minutes): Key Risks to Watch: 🔑 Reused or shared admin passwords 🌐 Open RDP/SMB without firewall or NLA ⚙️ Old PowerShell versions without logging 🧩 Users running with local admin rights 🪟 Missing Defender Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) rules 📦 Unpatched or unsigned software from third-party repos These simple, repeatable checks close 80% of the attack surface exploited in ransomware and credential theft campaigns. They cost nothing, take minutes, and build muscle memory for good cyber hygiene. Conclusion Thanks for reading this week's recap. Keep learning, stay curious, and don't wait for the next alert to take action. A few smart moves today can save you a lot of cleanup tomorrow.
