(Patch Priorities Today)

Windows “Win-DoS / Win-DDoS” class — patch May–July 2025 Windows updates; lock down DC egress. SafeBreach The Hacker News
NVIDIA Triton Inference Server (AI/ML infra) — update to v25.07 immediately. TechRadar
SonicWall SSL-VPN exposure — harden configs; many compromises tied to CVE-2024-40766 and weak creds, not a new zero-day. BleepingComputer TechRadar
Cisco ISE — review August 6 advisories and patch (no workarounds). Cisco
SharePoint Server — Microsoft issued hardened fixes; apply the July 19 follow-ups. Help Net Security

1) Windows “Win-DoS / Win-DDoS”: DCs as DDoS cannons (zero-click on victims)

SafeBreach disclosed a family of Windows DoS bugs and a novel Win-DDoS technique that can force public Domain Controllers (DCs) to overwhelm a target—no malware or creds needed. Microsoft addressed underlying issues across May–July 2025 Patch Tuesdays. If your DCs can reach the internet over LDAP/CLDAP, you’re at risk of being abused as part of a botnet. Action: patch, block CLDAP, restrict LDAP/RPC egress from DCs. SafeBreach The Hacker News

Real-world use case: An adversary triggers your DC to follow a long LDAP referral list to one victim IP, generating massive outbound connection churn from your trusted IP space—perfect for stealthy DDoS that bypasses simple blocklists. Detect: spikes in outbound TCP connects from DCs to a single external host; unusual CLDAP egress. Contain: isolate offending DC, enforce egress ACLs, then re-introduce after patch verification. SafeBreach

2) NVIDIA Triton Inference Server RCE chain (AI infrastructure)

Wiz researchers found a three-bug chain (Python backend) in NVIDIA Triton Inference Server that can lead to unauthenticated RCE on AI serving nodes (Windows/Linux). NVIDIA fixed it in v25.07. If you serve models in on-prem, edge, or cloud with Triton, update now to prevent model theft, data exfiltration, and response manipulation. TechRadar

Defender notes: inventory Triton deployments; review network policies around model stores and secrets; rotate tokens/keys used by inference pipelines post-patch. TechRadar

3) SonicWall SSL-VPN compromises: zero-day fears vs reality

Ransomware crews (incl. Akira) have been exploiting SonicWall SSL-VPN exposure. SonicWall says recent intrusions largely tie back to CVE-2024-40766 and legacy migrations—not a fresh product zero-day. Still, reports show adversaries using BYOVD tactics post-access to neuter Microsoft Defender. Action: upgrade to SonicOS 7.3.0+, lock SSL-VPN to allow-listed IPs, remove stale accounts, enforce strong/MFA auth, and monitor for driver-load abuse. BleepingComputer TechRadar

4) Cisco ISE — August 6 advisories (patch; no workarounds)

Cisco published August 6, 2025 advisories for Identity Services Engine (ISE), including XSS items; guidance indicates no practical workarounds—you should patch. Validate versions in cloud or on-prem ISE and retest SSO/SAML flows after update. Cisco

5) Microsoft SharePoint hardened fixes (July 19)

Microsoft issued hardened fixes for SharePoint Server editions after earlier mitigations were bypassed in the wild. If you run SharePoint on-prem (SSE, 2019, 2016), prioritize the July 19 updates and review internet exposure and AuthZ on sensitive sites. Help Net Security

Quick Hunt Queries & Mitigations

Windows/DC (Win-DDoS)

Hunt: “Outbound connections/min from DC > baseline to a single external IP” + any CLDAP (UDP/389) egress.
Mitigate: Block CLDAP at edge; restrict LDAP/LDAPS/RPC egress from DCs to explicit allowlists; apply cumulative updates from May–July 2025. SafeBreach

AI/ML Nodes (Triton)

Hunt: Unexpected Python process spawns in Triton containers/hosts; traffic from inference nodes to unknown registries.
Mitigate: Upgrade to v25.07, rotate model repo tokens, audit RBAC in Kubernetes/VM environments. TechRadar

SonicWall SSL-VPN

Hunt: Unusual admin logins, anomalous VPN geo patterns, driver install events post-VPN access.
Mitigate: Patch for CVE-2024-40766, harden SSL-VPN exposure, enforce per-user MFA, remove dormant accounts, upgrade to 7.3.0 and review config guidance. BleepingComputer TechRadar

Cisco ISE

Hunt: Admin GUI requests with script payloads; changes in authorization policies without change tickets.
Mitigate: Apply August 6 patches; enable WAF rules for admin portals; enforce least-privileged ISE admin roles. Cisco

SharePoint

Hunt: Web requests to legacy vulnerable endpoints; exec of workflows from unknown sources.
Mitigate: Apply July 19 hardened updates; restrict external exposure; enforce conditional access. Help Net Security

Final Word

Identity infrastructure, AI inference, and remote-access edges are today’s highest-value targets. Patch quickly, shrink exposure, and add egress controls to crown-jewel services like DCs—availability is a security property.
