Threat Source newsletter for Sept. 10, 2020

Summary: Microsoft's September Patch Tuesday disclosed more than 120 vulnerabilities across its products, 23 of them rated critical, covering Office, Windows Media Audio Decoder and Hyper-V, with CVE-2020-0922 in Microsoft COM scoring 8.8 for remote code execution when a user opens an attacker-controlled web page. Cisco Talos also reported Salfram email campaigns that link to malicious documents on legitimate file-sharing platforms to deliver Gozi ISFB, ZLoader, SmokeLoader and AveMaria, tracked by a shared crypter string.
What you should know: Twenty-three critical bugs in products like Office and Hyper-V are patched but not yet applied everywhere, and the Salfram crypter is described as under active development, so the same infrastructure that evades weak API and static analysis today will keep changing.
