CVE-2025-27920Srimax Output Messenger — directory traversal reads config

Output Messenger before 2.0.63 mishandles file paths, so parameters carrying traversal sequences reach files outside the intended directory and leak configuration. A state-linked group used it as a zero-day.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Upgrade Output Messenger to 2.0.63 or later now; it ran as a zero-day for espionage, so rotate whatever that configuration held.
