Security, performance, virtualization and other types of programs to monitor third-party processes have introduced vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit. Researchers from data exfiltration prevention company enSilo found six common security issues affecting over 15 products. One vulnerability exists in a commercial hooking engine developed by Microsoft and used by over 100 other software vendors. The researchers plan to release technical details of the vulnerabilities during the upcoming Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas in early August. Some of these vendors have released fixes for the flaws, but patching is not easy because it often requires recompiling each affected product individually.”]
