As cyberattacks become increasingly sophisticated and frequent, businesses must prioritize their cybersecurity measures. Recently, Microsoft patched two zero-day vulnerabilities that were being actively exploited by threat actors. These vulnerabilities allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely, giving them complete control over a victim's system.The first vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2021-31166, was found in the HTTP protocol stack used by Windows. The second, tracked as CVE-2021-31207, was found in the Windows kernel. Both vulnerabilities were rated as critical and affected multiple versions of Windows, including the latest Windows 10 and Windows Server versions.
These vulnerabilities were discovered and reported to Microsoft by the security firm "Theori" and have since been patched by Microsoft as part of their May 2021 Patch Tuesday updates.
