Cisco Talos is actively tracking the exploitation of two vulnerabilities in Cisco’s Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) Software.
If your scan engine already holds credentials for a host, it can ask that host which ports are open instead of probing for them.Every scan begins with the same question: which ports on this host are open? Everything after it, from identifying services to checking for vulnerabilities to evaluating policy, depends on the answer being right. The traditional answer comes from the outside: the scan engine sends traffic to a range of ports and infers each port's state from how the host responds. That…

Dubbed MikroTrick, the bugs allow attackers to bypass authentication, overwrite configuration files, and take over devices. The post MikroTik Patches Critical Flaws Chained to Hack Routers appeared first on SecurityWeek.
Turning off email images should at least stop the pictures. This week, attackers had a workaround: a scannable QR code built out of text. It still appears, even with images blocked. A small detail, but an annoying one if that was a precaution you were counting on. Elsewhere, a trusted software source delivered code that stole credentials, and a protocol designed for secure network management
Hackers are exploiting a chain of two recently disclosed vulnerabilities in MikroTik routers to take control of devices with SSH services exposed to the internet. [...]
MikroTik RouterOS SSH zero-day (MikroTrick chain) under active exploitation since Sept 2. Patch to 7.24.2, 7.23.5, or 6.49.21 immediately and check logs. Anyone running a MikroTik router with SSH exposed to the internet should treat it as compromised until proven otherwise. The popular cybersecurity expert Costin Raiu published a detailed technical breakdown of the active […]
Attackers are exploiting MikroTik routers with their Secure Shell (SSH) remote-access service, which is reachable from the internet, to gain full administrative control without authentication, according to CERT Polska's attack warning, published on September 5. Successful attacks date to at least September 2. The Hacker News’s September 6 review of the warning found no victim count or
Elastic Security Labs has documented four previously unreported programs associated with REVSTEALER, an emerging Windows information stealer, that remain on an infected machine after the stealer deletes itself. One of them switches off Windows Update and Microsoft Defender before running a cryptocurrency miner. The company named the four programs ProManager, WinUpdate, SoftManager, and
Tracked as CVE-2026-9586, the unauthenticated SQL injection flaw can be exploited remotely for arbitrary code execution. The post Sangoma Switchvox Vulnerabilities Exploited in the Wild appeared first on SecurityWeek.
Cisco patched a critical Nexus 9000 vulnerability, CVE-2026-20212, allowing unauthenticated remote root code execution. Cisco has released patches for a critical flaw, tracked as tracked as CVE-2026-20212 (CVSS score of 9.8) in 10 Silicon One-based Nexus 9000 switches. The vulnerability could let an unauthenticated remote attacker execute code with root privileges. Cisco’s Technical Assistance Center […]
Cisco has released patches to address a critical security flaw affecting 10 Silicon One-based Nexus 9000 switches that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute code as root, alongside an IOS XR hardening release bundling 7 umbrella CVEs, 2 of which are rated 9.8, with no workaround for any IOS XR version. The Nexus vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-20212 (CVSS score: 9.8), is
Attackers are actively exploiting CVE-2026-9586, an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the Sangoma Switchvox VoIP platform that can lead to remote code execution. [...]

A vulnerability in the Silicon One integration for Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute code with root privileges. This vulnerability exists because TCP ports 43210 and 43211 are accessible in the default Layer 3 (L3) virtual routing and forwarding (VRF). A successful exploit could allow the attacker to connect to an affected device and send crafted input that could be executed as code with root privileges. The exploitation of this vulnerab…

Threat actors are exploiting a severe security vulnerability in Sangoma Switchvox, an enterprise VoIP platform, that could allow unauthenticated remote code execution. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2026-9586 (CVSS score: 9.3), a critical unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in Sangoma Switchvox SMB Edition 8.3 (104997) that can allow attackers to remotely execute arbitrary code as
A hacking operation dubbed Fire Ant "didn’t just compromise systems," according to researchers. "It compromised the trust layer those systems depend on."
Attackers can hide behind residential proxies, VPNs, and other infrastructure that makes malicious sessions appear legitimate to existing edge security controls. Spur explains how session enrichment adds data points that help organizations identify risky sessions and make stronger enforcement decisions. [...]
Introduction Beginning in 2024 Mandiant investigated a string of compromises affecting Brazilian financial services, retail, and eCommerce organizations. Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) tracks this activity as BREEZE COMET (formerly UNC5669), a financially motivated threat actor specializing in manipulating payment systems and banking software in Brazil to conduct fraudulent transfers. This activity overlaps with operations publicly reported as Plump Spider and SHADOW-AETHER-064. In thi…
WordPress - Kubio AI Website Builder DoS The REST endpoint `GET /wp-json/kubio/v1/enable-theme` passes the client-supplied `name` parameter directly and without validation into WordPress core's `switch_theme()`:// lib/api/colibri.php function kubio_enable_theme( WP_REST_Request $data ) { switch_theme( $data['name'] ); // $data['name'] ) ); }Because `$data['name']` is not type-checked, an authorized request can supply `name` as an array instead of a string. `switch_theme()` persists that value i…
The researchers discovered Fire Ant's new tactic after finding an active GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunnel interface on a Cisco IOS XR router that could not be explained by a running configuration or commit history. [...]
The boring parts caused most of the trouble. A router shipped ready to listen. A fake check turned the user into the installer. Trusted systems collected traffic and passwords, then cleaned the logs. Old bugs formed new attack chains. Even an AI agent decided its assigned task was optional. Elsewhere, fake apps, helpful support calls, cheap banking kits, exposed systems, and weak defaults kept
Fire Ant hijacked Cisco routers, stole credentials and altered logs to hide its tracks, using trusted infrastructure to reach high-value networks. Chinese-linked cyber espionage group Fire Ant has spent the past year quietly graduating from hacking individual computers to hacking the infrastructure that connects them. Sygnia’s new report traces how the group expanded from compromising […]
A China-nexus cyber espionage actor tracked as Fire Ant has expanded a long-running campaign beyond VMware hypervisors to compromise Cisco IOS XR routers, Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System (TACACS) servers, and Linux management hosts used to route, authenticate, and manage high-value networks. Sygnia, the incident response firm that investigated the intrusion, said the actor
