The Full Story
Same story different day, as attackers are already exploiting a critical VMware vCenter flaw known as CVE-2026-593 to secure persistent remote access. Broadcom actually patched this, but expecting sysadmins to install updates in a timely manner is clearly asking for miracles. Defending our unmanageable environments against these persistence tactics requires applying this critical patch before threat actors make themselves at home. It seems patching remains an insurmountable chore.
