The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Thursday added a newly patched security flaw impacting Microsoft SharePoint Server to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, requiring Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to apply the fixes by July 19, 2026. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2026-58644 (CVSS score: 9.8), a critical deserialization

Owen Flowers, 18, and Thalha Jubair, 20, were each sentenced to five and a half years at Woolwich Crown Court on Thursday, 16 July 2026, for the 2024 hack of Transport for London. The attack left 148 TfL systems inoperable and forced all 27,000 of the transport authority's employees into an office to get their passwords reset in person. Both the NCA and the CPS put TfL's losses and recovery

A lot of this week’s trouble starts with something that looks close enough. A familiar repo. A useful installer. A harmless sync setting. Then the handoff goes bad, the box starts talking to someone else, and the damage moves faster than the explanation. Old bugs are back, weak defaults are earning their keep, and some attack paths are so plain they barely feel like research. Here’s the mess.

n8n, the workflow automation platform, handed out the wrong accounts at login. On Enterprise instances configured to trust more than one external token issuer, it matched an incoming JWT to a local user on the sub claim alone and ignored iss. A valid token from issuer A carrying a sub that belongs to someone under issuer B logged you in as them. Their password never

Cybersecurity researchers have called attention to a new modular malware called TELEPUZ that's been spreading via websites infected with ClickFix lures since late April 2026. "The malware is full-featured, lightweight, and modular," Elastic Security Labs researcher Cyril François said in a technical report. "While the number of C2 [command-and-control] domains is currently small, the daily

ClickLock Stealer, a new macOS infostealer, answers a victim's refusal by killing their apps on a loop until they hand over the login password. It arrives as a command pasted into Terminal, asks for the password behind a fake system dialog, and when the victim cancels, installs two LaunchAgents and quietly exits. At the next login, Finder, the Dock, Spotlight, Terminal, Activity Monitor, and

More than 20 Brazilian government websites were hijacked and turned into malware delivery channels in an active PhantomEnigma campaign uncovered by ANY.RUN, a leading provider of interactive malware analysis and threat intelligence solutions. The investigation revealed previously undocumented backdoor behavior, hidden infrastructure relationships, and multiple attack arms behind a campaign

Ask an AI agent to summarize the reviews on a product page, and a single planted review can make it click "Buy Now" instead. Ask a coding assistant to apply a maintainer's fix from a GitHub thread, and a fake comment can make it run a stranger's command on your computer. Neither trick hijacks the agent's task. Each one just corrupts the facts it trusts and lets it carry on with the job you

An advanced malware previously attributed to a China-linked threat actor has resurfaced after more than four years within a Taiwan manufacturing firm, along with a previously unreported backdoor dubbed Stupig. Daxin ("srt64.sys"), as the kernel-mode rootkit is referred to, was first documented by Broadcom-owned Symantec in March 2022, with evidence indicating its use in targeted attacks aimed

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing offensive security, but it has not changed the standard that matters most: a finding has to be proven before it becomes useful. AI-assisted tools can read code quickly, generate payloads, summarize attack surfaces, explain unfamiliar APIs, and run repetitive testing workflows at impressive speed. That is a real advantage for security teams. It also

Pull the certificate off the flash of a Shark RV2320EDUS robot vacuum, and you can run root commands on other people's Shark vacuums across the same AWS region: watch the camera, drive the robot, read the map of the house, and take the Wi-Fi password in plaintext. A researcher publishing under the handle tokay0 put the method online on Monday, having tested it only against vacuums he

OpenAI has disclosed details of GPT-Red, an internal automated red-teaming model that scales prompt injection vulnerability discovery with an aim to fix issues before the tools are deployed widely. "GPT‑Red is a strong red-teamer, and our previous models are highly vulnerable to its prompt injection attacks," the artificial intelligence (AI) company said. "We use GPT‑Red to adversarially train

Zoom has released security updates for a critical security flaw impacting Zoom Workplace for Windows that could facilitate account takeover. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-53412 (CVSS score: 9.8), affects Zoom Workplace for Windows before version 7.0.0 and Zoom Workplace VDI Client for Windows before version 7.0.10, 6.6.15, and 6.5.18 in their respective branches. "Improper Input

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a previously unreported Internet-of-Things (IoT) botnet framework dubbed TuxBot v3 Evolution that shows signs of being developed with assistance from a large language model (LLM), albeit with not so successful results. "While the AI complied with their request to generate botnet code, it included a safety disclaimer that the developer failed

A malware framework called OkoBot has been running on Windows machines since April 2025, and one of its modules is built to con hardware wallet owners out of their recovery phrase. On an infected PC, the request comes from inside the wallet's own desktop software. Sometimes it waits until you plug the device in first. The page is malicious. The app around it is the real one you installed, and

Mozilla has released updates to address two critical flaws in Firefox for which it warned that exploit code has been published. The vulnerabilities are listed below - CVE-2026-15718, an invalid pointer in the JavaScript: WebAssembly component CVE-2026-15719, a site isolation in the DOM: Navigation component "We are aware that exploit code for this is public, however we are not aware of

For years, routing traffic through cloud proxies was good enough. Then work moved to the browser, AI entered the workflow, and the inspection model stopped keeping up. Enterprise workflows now live across SaaS applications, browsers, and an expanding ecosystem of generative AI tools, unsanctioned browser extensions, and autonomous agents. Employees routinely paste intellectual property into

Security researcher Chaotic Eclipse (aka Nightmare-Eclipse) has released a new proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit called LegacyHive. It has been described as a Windows User Profile Service arbitrary hive load elevation of privileges vulnerability. The Windows User Profile Service, also referred to as ProfSvc, is a core system component that manages user accounts and environments. "The PoC requires

A single approved marketing tag can quietly load fourth-party code your security team has never seen, granting full access to your forms, customer data, and checkout pages. This on-demand webinar reveals how this Approval Gap forms, and gives your team the blueprint to close it before an auditor, regulator, or attacker finds it first. The Reality of the Approval Gap It's a pattern every

Open a repository in Cursor on Windows and, if a file named git.exe is sitting in the project root, Cursor runs it. No click, no approval dialog, no warning that anything in the folder is about to execute. Whatever that binary does, it does as you, with your source, your SSH keys and your cloud tokens. Cursor keeps re-running it for as long as the project stays open. No prompt
