“The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has recently issued a warning to financial institutions after 4 high-risk bugs were found in Microsoft’s Windows system.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has warned of critical risks to legacy financial systems after Microsoft announced a patch of 49 bugs found in its Windows 7 system. The 4 main vulnerabilities, CVE-2020-0601 CVE-2020-0609 CVE-2020-0610 and CVE-2020-0611, affect all Windows users. It has been urged that all users update their systems with this latest patch.

The Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) outlined the severity of these vulnerabilities, according to an article by CIO.

‘… successful exploitation of CVE-2020-0601 vulnerability could have allowed attackers to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks and further decrypt confidential information on user connections to the affected software.

If the other three vulnerabilities were successfully exploited, attackers could perform remote code execution and take control of the affected systems. With these controls they can perform malicious activities, unauthorized installation of programmes. Further, they could have created rogue administrator accounts to view, change or delete data.'”
