It was published on May 20, 2026 and added to the CISA KEV catalog the same month, with a remediation deadline of May 27. F5 sensors recorded 576 exploitation attempts from 9 source IPs between May 20 and May 31, 2026. The earlie…
Episode 484 of the Smashing Security podcast, hosted by Graham Cluley with guest Danny Palmer, covers several security stories. The lead item is audio fingerprinting: a user named Matt found that an open AliExpress page, playing silent audio at zero volume, kept his multipoint Bluetooth headphones from switching to his phone. The episode …
NIST, the National Security Agency and CISA released voluntary guidance on October 16, 2026 warning that advanced AI agents may exploit security flaws, break out of assigned limits and leave persistent access behind. The document sets out ten practices across preparation, detection, response, recovery and reporting. It targets organizatio…
Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 reports that a suspected advanced actor tracked as CL-STA-0954 (aka UNC5820) deployed a previously unreported memory-resident ARM64 implant, PEERSTITCH, on Fortinet FortiGate firewalls. The group exploited the FortiOS path traversal flaw CVE-2025-61624 for the final stage. The intrusion hit a telecommunications …
A vulnerability in Signal's open-source RingRTC calling library, tracked as CVE-2026-113380 (CVSS v4.0 9.3), can stop a call from terminating properly. This can leave audio, and possibly video, channels open after a user hangs up. MITRE published the CVE on October 20, 2026, classified as CWE-754, and NIST added it to the NVD on Tuesday (…
GitLab released security patches for CVE-2026-110264, a maximum-severity integer overflow flaw in its Regular Expression Compiler that can let an unauthenticated remote attacker execute arbitrary code on vulnerable servers. The researcher joaxcar reported it through GitLab's HackerOne bug bounty program. Shadowserver currently tracks over…
CISA, the FBI, the U.S. Secret Service and international partners issued a joint advisory on SafePay ransomware. The group has been highly active since August 2024 and has compromised roughly 600 organizations across multiple critical infrastructure sectors in the Americas, Europe and Australia.

Google warns that Armory Castle, a suspected PRC state-sponsored espionage actor, exploited the critical BeyondTrust Remote Support vulnerability CVE-2026-102764 (CVSS 9.3) in August 2026, well before BeyondTrust disclosed it on October 15. The actor escalated privileges to root and established persistent access on compromised appliances.…
Aikido published a vendor blog post arguing that SCA reachability analysis is not enough for prioritizing dependency vulnerabilities. Reachability shows whether code can execute a vulnerable function. Exploitability asks whether an attacker can satisfy the conditions the bug needs. The article uses lodash .template command injection (CVE-…
Huntress argues that passkeys raise the bar for authentication but do not close the account lifecycle: attackers still target enrollment, recovery, compromised endpoints, alternative sign-in flows and social engineering. Huntress researchers tracked a device-code phishing campaign, EvilTokens, that hit 344 organizations across five countr…
Moody's Ratings published an analysis on October 19 warning that AI-driven cyberattacks could raise financial risk for organisations with weak security, because AI tools make attacks faster, more automated and more persistent. Earlier Moody's research from March, using Bitsight data on more than 9,000 Moody's-rated organisations, found th…
CISA added four vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog on 2026-09-22, citing evidence of active exploitation.
