The researcher known as "Nightmare-Eclipse" published a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for the Windows Defender vulnerability in early June after dropping several other Microsoft zero-days.
Attackers wasted little time targeting the latest memory disclosure flaw in Citrix's NetScaler products, after researchers published a proof-of-concept exploit (PoC).
The disgruntled researcher released yet another PoC for a Windows Defender bug that allows for system takeover, showing no signs of abandoning their ongoing feud with Microsoft.
A proof-of-concept exploit (PoC) shows how someone with admin privileges can exploit the issue to steal passwords, and thus use them to engage in further malicious activity.
Shortly after the authentication-bypass flaw was disclosed multiple proof-of-concept exploits appeared, and one researcher claims there's been zero-day activity for at least a month.
The proof-of-concept exploit code runs only 10 lines long, but luckily, a patch is already available.
Three proof-of-concept exploits are being used in active attacks against Microsoft's built-in security platform; two are unpatched.
Under the alias 'Chaotic Eclipse,' a researcher released a PoC exploit for a zero-day flaw that allows for system takeover by a local user, citing an undisclosed beef with Microsoft.
In the React2Shell saga, non-working and trivial proof-of-concept exploits led to confusion and perhaps a false sense of security. Can the onslaught of PoCs be tamed?
As exploitation activity against CVE-2025-55182 ramps up, researchers are finding some proof-of-concept exploits contain bypasses for web application firewall (WAF) rules.
Proof-of-concept exploit code is publicly available for two other flaws in this month's Patch Tuesday. In total, the company issued patches for more than 1,150 flaws this year.
The proof-of-concept exploit allows an attacker to steal sensitive data from Gmail, Google Accounts, Google Authenticator, Google Maps, Signal, and Venmo.
Generating exploits with AI and large language models shrinks the time to target software flaws, giving security teams scant time to patch. Can enterprises adapt?
The company disclosed a critical FortiSIEM flaw with a PoC exploit for it the same week researchers warned of an ominous surge in malicious traffic targeting the vendor's SSL VPNs.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) attack vector exploits two Azure authentication tokens from within a browser, giving threat actors persistent access to key cloud services, including Microsoft 365 applications.
The risk of exploitation is heightened, thanks to a proof-of-concept that's been made publicly available.
The first patch lets threat actors with low-level credentials still exploit the vulnerability, while the second fully resolves the flaw.
The exploit can be accessed on GitHub and makes it easier for the flaw to be exploited by threat actors.
The CVSS 9.8 authentication bypass in Ivanti's traffic manager admin panel already has a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit lurking in the wild.
A new month, a new high-risk Ivanti bug for attackers to exploit — this time, an SQL injection issue in its centralized endpoint manager.
