Download MP3In this July 2025 Patch [FIX] Tuesday episode, Automox security experts Tom, Seth, and Cody unpack four high-impact threats — from Microsoft updates, to Linux vulns, and .zip exploit PoCs.
Topics include a physical attack method bypassing BitLocker encryption (CVE-2025-48001), the looming expiration of secure boot certificates, a Linux privilege escalation flaw in chroot and sudo (CVE-2025-32463), and a proof-of-concept .zip exploit that hides malicious content during preview but runs it on unzip.
Expect sharp technical insights, practical mitigation tips, and as always, a few laughs.
