  • WSUS vulnerability CVE-2025-59287 exploited after emergency patch; CISA warns as researchers show update abuse
    October 25, 2025, 3:50 AM EDT. Security researchers and governments warn that attackers are exploiting a critical flaw in WSUS (Windows Server Update Services), CVE-2025-59287, after Microsoft issued an emergency patch. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) via insecure deserialization and affects Windows Server versions 2012-2025; systems without the WSUS role enabled are safe. An initial fix on Patch Tuesday was followed by an out-of-band update that some researchers say isn't foolproof. Notably, analyst Kevin Beaumont demonstrated how remote attackers could tamper with updates and push malicious payloads to clients, including abusing deadlines to force installs. The CISA added the CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and activity has been observed against publicly exposed WSUS servers. Microsoft and security firms urge immediate patching and mitigations.
  • Nothing OS 4.0 Beta Adds Pre-Installed Apps to Phone (3a) Series, Introduces Lock Glimpse
    October 25, 2025, 3:48 AM EDT. Nothing has rolled out the Open Beta for Nothing OS 4.0 to the Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro, introducing Lock Glimpse, a configurable lock-screen feature. The update also marks Nothing's first experiment with pre-installed third-party apps on non-flagship devices, with apps such as Instagram and optional integrations aimed at enhancing camera performance and content sharing. Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis stresses the feature is optional and easy to remove, preserving user control and transparency. He notes the move comes amid a competitive market with razor-thin margins, but says apps are chosen for popularity and relevance. Future updates may let users swap wallpapers and personalize unlocks, while the company commits to informing users about changes and seeking feedback.
  • NVIDIA Stock Poised to Rally on Record AI GPU Demand Ahead of Q3 Earnings
    October 25, 2025, 3:46 AM EDT. NVIDIA (NVDA) is set for a pivotal moment as it reports fiscal Q3 on Nov. 19, with expectations high amid surging GPU demand and accelerating AI infrastructure buildouts. The launch of the Blackwell and Blackwell Ultra architectures (GB200/GB300) targets LLMs and inference workloads, fueling demand from hyperscalers like Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta, who are integrating NVIDIA GPUs into expanding AI clusters. Partnerships with CoreWeave, xAI, OpenAI, plus enterprise customers such as Oracle and Dell, bolster revenue visibility. Global AI spending could reach trillions by decade's end, per McKinsey, with hyperscalers leading a near-$500B forecast next year. All of this underpins a potential rally into 2026 as investors await earnings clarity.
  • Microsoft issues emergency Windows Server patch for critical WSUS vulnerability CVE-2025-59287
    October 25, 2025, 3:30 AM EDT. Microsoft has issued an out-of-band (OOB) security patch for Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) to fix the critical vulnerability CVE-2025-59287 that enables unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) with SYSTEM privileges. The flaw, disclosed after public PoC code appeared, was addressed in the October 2025 Patch Tuesday but prompted an urgent OOB update. Administrators should reboot after installing the fix. If WSUS server role is disabled, systems remain protected; otherwise, enablement without the patch leaves servers exposed. Workarounds include disabling the WSUS Server Role or blocking inbound traffic on ports 8530 and 8531, though that stops updates to endpoints.
