#vulnerability

The popular generative AI (GenAI) model allows hallucinations, easily avoidable guardrails, susceptibility to jailbreaking and malware creation requests, and more at critically high rates, researchers find.

Apple has released an out-of-band security update for a vulnerability which it says may have been exploited in an "extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals.”

**How do I get the update for Microsoft HPC Pack?** If you do not have automatic updates enabled you need to manually update your extension. See Update Network Watcher extension to the latest version for update instructions. Customers who have automatic updates enabled do not need to take any further action.

**According to the CVSS metric, successful exploitation of this vulnerability has a high impact on availability (A:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker can send specially crafted packets which could affect availability of the service and result in Denial of Service (DoS).

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. For example, when the score indicates that the **Attack Vector** is **Local** and **User Interaction** is **Required**, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** The attacker must inject themselves into the logical network path between the target and the resource requested by the victim to read or modify network communications. This is called a machine-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.

**According to the CVSS metric, successful exploitation of this vulnerability has a high impact on availability (A:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker can send specially crafted messages to the MSMQ service, which could affect availability of the service and result in Denial of Service (DoS).
