Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Alert bells ringing, May twenty-third arrives
CVE twenty-ten-oh-two-four-nine still thrives
Internet Explorer's memory gets confused
Deletes an object but the pointer's still abused
Remote attackers craft malicious pages bright
Execute their code when you click and take a bite
Use-after-free, the ghost data haunts your screen
Microsoft's browser caught in this nightmare scene

[Chorus]
Patch alerts screaming, vulnerabilities exposed
Critical ratings, your defenses decomposed
Four CVEs demanding your attention now
Security bulletins, take your solemn vow
Update immediately, don't delay the fix
These exploits weaponized with malicious tricks

[Verse 2]
CVE twenty-ten-oh-eight-oh-six appears
Another Explorer flaw that brings cybersecurity fears
Same use-after-free pattern strikes again
Invalid pointers dancing in memory's den
Attackers leverage websites as their stage
Execute arbitrary commands, turn the page
Two thousand ten keeps haunting twenty twenty-six
Legacy vulnerabilities in the modern mix

[Chorus]
Patch alerts screaming, vulnerabilities exposed
Critical ratings, your defenses decomposed
Four CVEs demanding your attention now
Security bulletins, take your solemn vow
Update immediately, don't delay the fix
These exploits weaponized with malicious tricks

[Bridge]
Zero-day exploits circulating in the wild
Threat actors patient, methodical and styled
Corporate networks trembling at the breach
Security teams scrambling, lessons they must teach
Backup systems ready, incident response planned
When vulnerabilities strike across the land

[Verse 3]
Twenty twenty-six brings fresh attack vectors live
CVE twenty-six-forty-one-oh-nine-one arrives
Microsoft Defender follows symbolic links astray
Authorized attackers escalate privileges today
Local system compromise through link manipulation
Defender's trust becomes the exploitation foundation

[Verse 4]
CVE twenty-six-forty-five-four-nine-eight strikes
Defender's availability an attacker dislikes
Denial of service through unspecified means
Crashes your protection, disrupts security scenes
Four vulnerabilities paint a dangerous portrait
Patch management urgent, don't let hackers exploit

[Chorus]
Patch alerts screaming, vulnerabilities exposed
Critical ratings, your defenses decomposed
Four CVEs demanding your attention now
Security bulletins, take your solemn vow
Update immediately, don't delay the fix
These exploits weaponized with malicious tricks

[Outro]
May twenty-third's warnings echo through the night
CVE identifiers blazing emergency light
From Explorer's ghosts to Defender's betrayal
Security vigilance must never ever fail
