BeyondTrust patches zero-day exploited in attacks since August
BeyondTrust's Remote Support zero-day, silently exploited since August, underscores the risk of unmonitored privileged-access tooling becoming an attacker's persistence channel.

BeyondTrust warned customers on Thursday to patch a critical flaw in its Remote Support (RS) that has been exploited in zero-day attacks since late August. [...]
Editorial Analysis
Privileged-access management tools sit at the trust boundary of enterprise environments; a months-long zero-day in one signals that PAM appliances themselves need continuous vulnerability monitoring, not just the assets they protect.
Immediately patch BeyondTrust RS/PRA, audit appliance logs from August onward, and add PAM infrastructure to your vulnerability-scanning scope.
A critical zero-day in widely deployed privileged-access software was exploited for over a month before discovery—patch status and exposure assessment should be confirmed.
