This Week in IT, IT News

Editor’s note: There is a lot going on in the world of IT, from emerging technologies to digital transformation and new cybersecurity threats. However, we can’t possibly cover it all, so we’ll bring you This Week in IT, a curated summary of IT and enterprise technology stories each week.

Big tech players add zero-trust security into new data center solutions

Nvidia, Dell and VMware are partnering to install artificial intelligence and zero-trust security on data center servers, ZDNet reports. Nvidia and VMware announced this at the VMware Explore 2022 conference in San Francisco this week, saying the new data center platform is designed for artificial intelligence and data science. The package combines Dell’s PowerEdge servers with Nvidia BlueField-2 DPUs, GPUs and AI enterprise software optimized for VMware’s new vSphere 8 enterprise workload platform, which was also announced this week.

TikTok vulnerability

Microsoft says it has discovered a high-severity security bug in the TikTok Android app that could allow attackers to compromise user accounts with a single click. Successful exploitation required several issues to be chained together and there was no evidence of in-the-wild exploitation, but attackers could have leveraged the vulnerability to hijack an account without a user’s awareness if the user simply clicked a specially crafted link.

A successful attack could allow attackers to access and modify a user’s profile and sensitive information, including publishing private videos, sending message and uploading videos, Microsoft says, adding that the vulnerability allowed the app’s deeplink verification to be bypassed. Attackers could force the app to load an arbitrary URL to the app’s WebView, allowing the URL to then access the WebView’s attached JavaScript bridges and grant functionality to attackers.
