Nightmare-Eclipse Strikes Again With 'ShieldCrash' Windows Exploit

A researcher disclosed a new zero-day exploit called ShieldCrash targeting Windows Defender, continuing a pattern of publishing unpatched Windows vulnerabilities. The exploit represents another security gap in Microsoft's endpoint protection platform.

Why it matters: Organizations running Windows Defender need immediate visibility into whether this zero-day affects their deployments and should monitor for exploitation attempts while awaiting a patch from Microsoft.
