ConnectWise fixes Automate AiTM update attack vulnerability

🔒 ConnectWise released a security update for Automate to fix two vulnerabilities including a critical 9.6-severity flaw (CVE-2025-11492) that can cause agents to use cleartext HTTP, enabling adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) interception or modification of commands, credentials, and update payloads. A second 8.8-severity issue (CVE-2025-11493) omits integrity verification for update packages, allowing substituted malicious files. Cloud instances are patched to release 2025.9; on-premise administrators are urged to install the update within days.

Attackers Exploit ScreenConnect Features for Network Access

🔒 DarkAtlas researchers warn that APT groups are leveraging legitimate RMM platforms to gain initial access, increasingly favoring ScreenConnect as it evades basic detection. Attackers abuse features like unattended access, VPN, REST API and file transfer, deploy in-memory installers that leave little disk artefacts, and register persistent services such as ScreenConnect.WindowsClient.exe. Defenders should monitor invite links, config files, in-memory activity and specific event IDs for effective DFIR.
