CVE-2025-60710: CISA’s active‑exploit designation turns a TaskHost privilege bug into a two‑week patch emergency

CISA’s addition of CVE-2025-60710 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities list makes a previously theoretical Windows Task Host privilege escalation a present operational threat: federal agencies have two weeks under BOD 22‑01 to patch, and all organizations should treat this as a priority where detection will not substitute for patching.

If you won’t install an app: Poke runs AI automations over SMS/iMessage and routes each task to the best model

Poke, a Palo Alto startup, runs AI agents entirely through text messages—iMessage, SMS, and Telegram—so users can set up automations without installing an app or managing API keys.
