Critical Flaws in Versa Concerto Allow Attackers to Escape Docker and Compromise Hosts

May 22, 2025
Vulnerability / Software Security

Cybersecurity researchers have identified several severe vulnerabilities within the Versa Concerto network security and SD-WAN orchestration platform. Exploitation of these flaws could potentially grant attackers control over vulnerable instances. Despite responsible disclosure on February 13, 2025, these issues remain unpatched, leading to a public announcement after the 90-day window expired. According to ProjectDiscovery researchers Harsh Jaiswal, Rahul Maini, and Parth Malhotra, “When combined, these vulnerabilities could enable an attacker to fully compromise both the application and the host system.” The vulnerabilities include:

  • CVE-2025-34025 (CVSS score: 8.6): A privilege escalation and Docker container escape vulnerability resulting from unsafe default mounting of host binary paths, potentially allowing code execution on the host system.

Can a seemingly harmless click trigger a major cyberattack? Surprisingly, yes. Last week’s events highlighted how hackers are adept at blending in with routine actions—whether it’s opening a file, initiating a project, or logging in normally. There are no loud alerts or glaring red flags; instead, attackers slip through unnoticed, exploiting minor weaknesses like misconfigured systems, trusted browser features, or recycled login credentials. These are not merely technical glitches—they reflect habits that are being exploited. Join us as we review the most significant developments from the week and their implications for your security.

IoT Security / Zero Trust

The Shifting Landscape of Cybersecurity in Healthcare

In 2025, healthcare organizations are grappling with unparalleled cybersecurity threats. As operational technology (OT) environments come under increasing attack and the integration of IT and medical systems expands the potential for breaches, traditional security measures are falling short. Recent data reveals that the healthcare sector faced a record number of data breaches in 2024, compromising over 133 million patient records. The financial implications are severe, with the average cost of a healthcare data breach soaring to $11 million, making it the industry with the highest breach costs.

The tactics of cybercriminals have evolved significantly; they are now focused on compromising the very devices that provide patient care, rather than just stealing patient records. The risk has intensified, with ransomware accounting for 71% of attacks on healthcare organizations, resulting in an average operational downtime of 11 days per incident.
