Description: During a recent engagement, threat actors exploited a flaw in SentinelOne’s agent upgrade process to disable endpoint protection and deploy the Babuk ransomware. By running the legitimate SentinelOne installer and then forcefully terminating its msiexec.exe process after it stopped the EDR services—but before it installed the new version—attackers left devices entirely unprotected. Once the EDR agent was offline, the adversaries gained free rein to execute their ransomware payload, encrypting critical systems and data without detection. The breach resulted in widespread operational disruption, substantial remediation costs, potential data loss, and significant downtime as affected devices had to be restored from backups or rebuilt. The incident also exposed gaps in default security configurations, prompting urgent customer communications and rapid policy updates. Although SentinelOne issued mitigations and informed other major EDR vendors, impacted organizations still faced ransom negotiations, legal and regulatory scrutiny, and damage to customer trust and corporate reputation. The event underscores the critical importance of enabling Online Authorization for local agent upgrades to prevent similar bypasses and ensure the integrity of endpoint defenses.

Description: In 2020, global logistics provider Toll Group was targeted by the Nefilim ransomware operation, resulting in a complete network breach. Attackers gained unauthorized access to corporate systems, exfiltrated sensitive operational and financial data, and deployed AES-128 encryption across critical servers and workstations, appending the ".NEFILIM" extension to affected files. The disruption forced Toll Group to halt certain shipping and freight operations temporarily, incurring significant revenue losses and logistical delays. Stolen data included client manifests, internal financial reports, and employee records, which the attackers threatened to publish on dark-web leak sites unless a bitcoin ransom was paid. Although Toll Group engaged cybersecurity experts to isolate infected segments, restore backups, and negotiate with the threat actors, remediation costs—including incident response, system recovery, legal fees, and potential regulatory fines—exceeded tens of millions of dollars. The breach also damaged the company’s reputation, prompting customers to seek alternative logistics partners amid concerns over data confidentiality and service resilience.

Description: NVIDIA disclosed and patched a high-severity vulnerability (CVE-2025-23254) in its TensorRT-LLM framework that could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code, tamper with data and compromise AI workloads. The flaw resides in the Python executor’s insecure use of pickle serialization for inter-process communication. An adversary with access to the TRTLLM server socket can craft a malicious pickle payload to invoke arbitrary functions during deserialization, leading to code execution, information disclosure and data corruption. Exploitation may expose sensitive model parameters, customer inputs, proprietary algorithms and internal configuration files, damaging the integrity of machine learning pipelines and undermining trust in downstream AI services. Although no public exploit has been observed, the CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 underscores the severity of potential impact. NVIDIA’s patch in version 0.18.2 adds HMAC-based encryption for IPC channels to validate message integrity and prevent unauthorized deserialization. Organizations using TensorRT-LLM are urged to upgrade immediately to guard against supply-chain disruptions, loss of intellectual property and inadvertent leakage of employee or customer data. Failure to apply the fix could result in undetected unauthorized code execution within critical AI infrastructure, leading to compliance violations and operational downtime.
