ConnectWise Patches ScreenConnect Flaw Exploited in Worm-Like Attacks

ConnectWise has patched a ScreenConnect vulnerability that is being actively exploited in worm-like attacks, allowing unauthorized file transfer and execution within active remote sessions. The patch addresses a critical flaw, but the worm-like propagation suggests potential for rapid spread across networks. This matters because ScreenConnect is widely used for remote support, and exploitation could enable broad compromise of managed service providers and their clients.
