∗∗∗ Critical Open VSX Registry Flaw Exposes Millions of Developers to Supply Chain Attacks ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed a critical vulnerability in the Open VSX Registry ("open-vsx[.]org") that, if successfully exploited, could have enabled attackers to take control of the entire Visual Studio Code extensions marketplace, posing a severe supply chain risk. [..] Following responsible disclosure on May 4, 2025, multiple rounds of fixes were proposed by the maintainers, before a final patch was deployed on June 25.

∗∗∗ What if Microsoft just turned you off? Security pro counts the cost of dependency ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Czech developer and pen-tester Miloslav Homer has an interesting take on reducing an organization's exposure to security risks. In an article headlined "Microsoft dependency has risks," he extends the now familiar arguments in favor of improving digital sovereignty, and reducing dependence on American cloud services. The argument is quite long but closely reasoned.

∗∗∗ Act now: Secure Boot certificates expire in June 2026 ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Prepare for the first global large-scale certificate update to Secure Boot.

The way to automatically get timely updates to new certificates for supported Windows systems is to let Microsoft manage your Windows updates, which include Secure Boot. [..] If you haven't yet, begin evaluating options and start preparing for the rollout of updated certificates across your organization in the coming months.

∗∗∗ Microsoft wirft Antivirensoftware aus dem Windows-Kernel ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Ein CrowdStrike-Erlebnis will Microsoft nicht noch einmal haben. Nun fliegt deswegen Antivirensoftware aus dem Windows-Kernel. [..] Im kommenden Monat will Microsoft eine Vorschau der Windows-Endpoint-Security-Plattform an einige MVI-Partner verteilen. Die ermöglicht es ihnen, ihre IT-Sicherheitslösungen so zu bauen, dass sie außerhalb des Windows-Kernels laufen. Software wie Antivirus und Endgeräteschutz befinden sich dann im User Mode, wie normale Apps auch.
