Infrastructure Under Fire: SecurityWeek Reports on Actively Exploited Flaws in Core Systems
SecurityWeek has issued a string of urgent reports this February, flagging high-severity flaws across Microsoft, Fortinet, and Apple platforms. CISA has already placed several of these bugs into its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. That designation signals active abuse, not theoretical risk. Security teams now juggle remediation timelines under regulatory glare and operational strain.
One case stands out. SecurityWeek describes a memory corruption flaw in Apple’s Dynamic Link Editor that attackers have used in sophisticated campaigns. Many enterprises still rate Apple ecosystems as lower risk. That assumption looks shaky. Precision attacks cut through brand comfort fast.
At the same time, SecurityWeek tracks the rise of the Reynolds ransomware family. Operators deploy a bring your own vulnerable driver tactic to sidestep endpoint controls. They load a legitimate but flawed driver, disable protections, then execute payloads with fewer obstacles. It is blunt, effective, and hard to spot if monitoring stays shallow.
Another looming issue adds pressure. Windows Secure Boot certificates will expire in June 2026, an event SecurityWeek compares to a Y2K-style disruption for trust chains. Billions of devices require certificate updates to remain secure and operational. According to our analysts, failure to coordinate renewal efforts at scale could trigger outages across enterprise and industrial networks. Infrastructure risk now sits front and center for modern security leaders.
