CISA Adds One Known Exploited Vulnerability to Catalog

US-Cert Current Activity - Tue, 06/17/2025 - 8:00am

CISA has added one new vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation. 

  •  CVE-2023-0386 Linux Kernel Improper Ownership Management Vulnerability 

These types of vulnerabilities are frequent attack vectors for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise. 

Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities established the KEV Catalog as a living list of known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) that carry significant risk to the federal enterprise. BOD 22-01 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to remediate identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect FCEB networks against active threats. See the BOD 22-01 Fact Sheet for more information. 

Although BOD 22-01 only applies to FCEB agencies, CISA strongly urges all organizations to reduce their exposure to cyberattacks by prioritizing timely remediation of KEV Catalog vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria

Show HN: NTerm – AI-Powered Terminal with Reasoning for SysAdmins and IoT

Hacker News - Tue, 06/17/2025 - 7:41am

Hi HN,

I built NTerm, a Python-based terminal assistant that combines AI reasoning with tool execution — designed for system administrators, DevOps, and IoT environments.

Key Features: Uses GPT-4 to interpret and reason over natural language queries

Calls relevant system tools (like ps, df, top, ping, etc.) automatically

Interprets the results and provides actionable insights

Supports IoT device discovery and sensor data analysis

Python API for embedding into workflows

SQLite-based memory for session history and context

Example:

nterm --query "Find memory-heavy processes and suggest optimizations"

It’ll call the relevant shell commands, analyze the output, and give structured advice.
