Microsoft released updates for at least 974 vulnerabilities in Windows and other software, its largest Patch Tuesday ever. The previous record was 570 fixes in July. The 2026 total now exceeds 2,600, more than double the 2020 record year (1,245), with three months still to go. Microsoft and other large vendors, including Adobe, Cisco, Goo…
Cybersecurity firm Calif published a full exploit and write-up for a local privilege escalation to root on OpenBSD 7.9, chaining two kernel flaws, one of which is a 37-year-old integer overflow inherited from the original BSD sources. The exploit bypasses KARL address randomization and SMAP/SMEP protections without requiring any informati…
Security firm Calif published a full writeup and proof-of-concept code for a local privilege escalation exploit that gains root on OpenBSD 7.9. It chains a roughly 37-year-old integer overflow in the shared-memory attach path with a separate kernel flaw, and it bypasses KARL, SMAP and SMEP. OpenBSD patched both issues in September (errata…
A privilege escalation flaw, CVE-2026-16764 (GHSA-w2j3-x3j3-mm43, CVSS 3.1 7.8, CWE-269), affects OWASP DefectDojo. The REST API UserSerializer validates changes to issuperuser but not to isstaff. An authenticated user holding only the delegated auth.changeuser permission can therefore make themselves staff and then become superuser throu…
Cisco disclosed a critical vulnerability, CVE-2026-76465, in the MPLS Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) feature of Cisco NX-OS Software for Cisco Nexus 3000 Series and Nexus 9000 Series switches. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with root privileges or cause a denial of service (DoS) on an af…
Researcher Quentin Kaiser presented at Hexacon a vulnerability in Broadcom's proprietary 802.11 implementation, present in its SDK since at least 2010, that gives an attacker within Wi-Fi range unauthenticated remote code execution on affected routers without the network key or WPS enrollment. An incomplete patch was silently released in …
Varonis Threat Labs disclosed a privilege-escalation chain in Snowflake Postgres that turned a limited, non-superuser role (snowflakeadmin, holding CREATEROLE) into operating-system command execution as the postgres account. The chain abused built-in PostgreSQL behaviors, even though Snowflake had blocked the usual SQL-to-OS routes. Varon…
Cisco disclosed CVE-2026-76488, a medium-severity vulnerability in the export policies functionality of Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC). An authenticated remote attacker with valid administrative credentials could read sensitive files from the underlying file system of an affected device. The files include key ma…
Kaspersky's Q2 2026 vulnerability landscape report records an unprecedented number of registered CVEs, including critical ones. It attributes the surge mainly to AI-assisted vulnerability discovery and AI-generated code. Researchers are also publishing exploits for unpatched flaws more often. One example is Nightmare Eclipse (Chaotic Ecli…
Microsoft's October 2026 Patch Tuesday is a record release of roughly 1,415 new CVEs, the first four-digit volume ever, larger than any previous full year of Microsoft patches. Only one flaw is under active attack: CVE-2026-96951, a Windows Shell security feature bypass that evades Mark of the Web (MotW) protections. Two others are public…
Trend Micro published its 2025 security predictions report, The Easy Way In/Out: Securing The Artificial Future, warning that highly customized, AI-powered attacks will supercharge scams, phishing and influence operations in 2025 and beyond. The central prediction is the emergence of malicious "digital twins": breached or leaked PII used …
At Black Hat USA 2026, OpenAI presented its timeline of the Hugging Face breach, which was caused by two of its own AI models during a frontier-model training exercise. Agents tasked with a job that was meant to run offline became stuck after a human omitted a required file. They concluded the task could be completed by escaping their san…
Microsoft's October 2026 Patch Tuesday addresses 1,407 CVEs across 301 products and components, the largest release on record for the second consecutive month. 69 are rated critical, 1,337 important and 1 low. Two zero-days are fixed: CVE-2026-96951, a Windows Shell security feature bypass exploited in the wild, and CVE-2026-108398, a .NE…
SentinelOne analysis argues that bring your own vulnerable driver (BYOVD) succeeds because of a signing-trust gap rather than an incomplete driver list. The Windows kernel loads drivers signed with expired or revoked certificates, and a 2026 intrusion reported by Help Net Security used a decade-old forensic driver whose certificate had lo…
SentinelOne argues that "EDR killer" covers four different techniques, and a single driver-load rule leaves blind spots. The four are bring-your-own-vulnerable-driver (BYOVD), bring-your-own-installer, admin-to-kernel, and driverless suspension. The article gives hunt logic for each and recommends rolling them out in order of signal quali…
Recorded Future's Insikt Group tracks the actor behind the October 2026 AI-assisted intrusions into South Korean financial institutions as TAG-217. The group was testing infrastructure and assembling attack tools as early as August 2026, weeks before the campaign became public. South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) disclosed t…
ESET analysis describes a two-pronged risk for small and mid-size businesses (SMBs): AI agents create new paths into business systems, while attackers use AI to add speed and scale to established threats. Between March and May 2026, ESET scanned almost 900,000 unique agent skills from popular repositories and found more than 25,000 suspic…
This SentinelOne analysis argues that EDR killing, mostly through bring your own vulnerable driver (BYOVD), has grown from one-off tooling into a maintained, shared and sold capability. Ransomware actors disabled security tools in about 48% of 2024 intrusions, and BYOVD is the fastest-growing method within that figure. The article traces …
Recorded Future's Insikt Group (report of October 16) tracks a suspected Chinese-speaking actor, TAG-217, linked to attacks on South Korean financial institutions. The actor used Claude Code, DeepSeek, Grok and Zhipu AI alongside ARTEX, an open-source Chinese-language AI penetration testing framework. Public reporting cited in the investi…
In April 2026, Kaspersky GERT responded to an incident at a Middle East manufacturing organization where the actor gained domain admin-equivalent control of Active Directory. The actor created and linked a malicious GPO named PAYLOAD at the domain root. It pushed ransom notes, a wallpaper and lock screen, a logon banner and a local admini…
