Ivanti is warning that a critical security flaw impacting Ivanti Connect Secure, Policy Secure, and ZTA Gateways has come under active exploitation in the wild beginning mid-December 2024. The security vulnerability in question is CVE-2025-0282 (CVSS score: 9.0), a stack-based buffer overflow that affects Ivanti Connect Secure before version 22.7R2.5, Ivanti Policy Secure before version 22.7R1.2

Cybersecurity researchers have found that bad actors are continuing to have success by spoofing sender email addresses as part of various malspam campaigns. Faking the sender address of an email is widely seen as an attempt to make the digital missive more legitimate and get past security mechanisms that could otherwise flag it as malicious. While there are safeguards such as DomainKeys
