Snyk Learn, our developer security education platform, now includes lessons on API security! Check out the new learning path that covers the OWASP Top 10 for API security risks. APIs power the modern web, connecting applications and services in ways that drive innovation and efficiency. However, with this interconnectivity comes significant security risks.

EncryptHub, a rising cybercriminal entity, has recently caught the attention of multiple threat intelligence teams, including our own (Outpost24’s KrakenLabs). While other reports have begun to shed light on this actor’s operations, our investigation goes a step further, uncovering previously unseen aspects of their infrastructure, tooling, and behavioral patterns.

In December 2024, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), National Security Agency (NSA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and International Partners published a guide for “protecting communications infrastructure” in response to the discovery that a stealthy Chinese government threat actor, Salt Typhoon, had infiltrated a number of US telecommunications firms.

On March 4, 2025, Broadcom, which acquired VMware in 2023, released security updates to fix three actively exploited vulnerabilities in VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion that could result in code execution and information disclosure. CVE-2025-22224 is a critical TOCTOU (Time-of-Check Time-of-Use) race condition vulnerability that leads to an out-of-bounds write, allowing an attacker with administrative privileges on a virtual machine to execute code as the VMX process on the host.

On March 4, 2025, Broadcom released patches for three zero-day vulnerabilities exploited in the wild, affecting ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion. These vulnerabilities, discovered by Microsoft, range in severity from high to critical. Details of the exploitation have not been revealed at this time, and Arctic Wolf has not identified a public Proof-of-Concept (PoC) exploit.

Measuring enterprise risk posture—its overall security readiness and resilience—is a complex challenge. Advanced security solutions, such as automated vulnerability management tools and unified risk dashboards, enable organizations to defend their networks with unprecedented efficiency. The rapid expansion of cloud environments and the intricacies of modern IT infrastructures, however, present an increasingly dynamic attack surface.

Vulnerability management has always been a challenge, but today’s security teams are feeling the pressure more than ever. With thousands of new CVEs reported every month, the sheer volume makes it difficult to know where to focus. In-use vulnerability prioritization is one of the most effective ways to cut through the noise, focusing only on vulnerabilities that are actively loaded in runtime. To focus on what really matters, security teams need better ways to prioritize risk.

JWTs are often used by developers who seek to implement authentication over traditional cookie-based sessions. However, what happens when developers misunderstand JWT security and risk a severe broken authentication vulnerability?
