What happened

Multiple high-impact security stories: a critical, remotely exploitable HPE AOS-CX vulnerability reportedly allows unauthenticated attackers to reset admin passwords and bypass authentication controls (patch/mitigation strongly advised). Chrome 146 addresses two exploited zero-days; other incidents include a Starbucks employee phishing-driven data breach, exploitation of an n8n flaw, Linux AppArmor vulnerabilities leading to local root privilege escalation, and an Iran-linked campaign targeting US and regional infrastructure (including a disruptive attack on Stryker leveraging endpoint‑mgmt).
