In a shocking twist of fate, Zoom and Xerox have decided to take a break from the relentless pursuit of corporate excellence to patch some minor issues like privilege escalation and remote code execution. I mean, who even uses computers for anything important these days, right?

Zoom’s little hiccup, lovingly named CVE-2025-49457, boasts a CVSS score of 9.6. It’s almost as if they were trying to hit a perfect 10 for vulnerability entertainment value. This ‘untrusted search path’ sounds like the kind of path you take when you’re out of snacks and desperate for adventure.

Meanwhile, Xerox’s FreeFlow Core, evidently not content with just sitting pretty as a printing solution, decided to join the party. These updates aren’t just patches; they’re an invitation to witness the thrilling drama of software trying to reconcile its quest for freedom with the need for security.
