Windows 0-day drops the same day Microsoft releases record number of patches
This month's "Patch Tuesday" for Windows users featured a record number of fixes, but was overshadowed by another cybersecurity issue: the researcher known as NightmareEclypse dropped a new zero day mere hours after the patches were published. Nightmare Eclipse has been feuding with Microsoft in recent weeks over claims that they have refused to fix vulnerabilities the researcher has disclosed. The new vulnerability, called HiveLegacy, is an escalation-of-privilege attack that allows non-admin users to get admin access.
