Microsoft Teams’ guest chat feature exposes cross-tenant blind spot
Mitigations include vetting collaborations: Jason Soroko, senior fellow at Sectigo, warns that this is not a mere “bypass bug,” but a blind spot in many organizations’ mental model of cross-tenant risk. “Security teams should respond by treating external guest access as a trust boundary that needs explicit governance rather than a convenience feature that can…

Every significant CVE tells a story, known exploit activity, actor interest, proof-of-concept code or links to MITRE ATT&CK techniques. This external intelligence gives us the who and how behind potential exploitation.For example, when a privilege escalation vulnerability in Linux…

Building checksec without boundaries with Checksec Anywhere
Since its original release in 2009, checksec has become widely used in the software security community, proving useful in CTF challenges, security posturing, and general binary analysis. The tool inspects executables to determine which exploit mitigations (e.g., ASLR, DEP, stack canaries, etc.) are enabled, rapidly gauging a program’s defensive hardening. This success inspired numerous spinoffs:…
