"As Bad as it Gets" Inside the SharePoint Breach - Ep 160

Reimagining Cyber - real world perspectives on cybersecurity

“It's got a [vulnerability] score of a 9.8, and this is on a scale of 10 and I've really never seen 10. So 9.8 is basically just as bad as it gets.”

This episode is inspired by an ongoing global cybersecurity incident. In mid‑July attackers began actively exploiting Microsoft SharePoint vulnerabilities in what’s now known as the “ToolShell” exploit chain.

This flaw is classified as a remote code execution vulnerability with an extremely high CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System ) score of 9.8, making it highly dangerous.

Featuring Tyler Moffitt, Senior Security Analyst at OpenText Cybersecurity, the episode explores the severity of this 9.8 CVSS score vulnerability and its impact on organizations that haven't applied the necessary patches. Learn about the attack kill chain, what makes this flaw so dangerous, and practical steps to safeguard your systems. Patch immediately, audit your access logs, and stay ahead of the threat.
