Other heavily scanned flaws include CVE-2022-24847 (GeoServer), CVE-2022-22947 (Spring Cloud Gateway), CVE-2…
F5 Labs, using attack telemetry from Efflux sensors, reports that CVE-2017-9841 (PHPUnit eval-stdin.php RCE) remained the most targeted vulnerability in May 2025 with over 54,000 instances. CVE-2020-8958 (Guangzhou ONU command injection RCE) shows near-exponential targeting growth for a third consecutive month. CVE-2024-3721 (TBK DVR OS c…
F5 Labs reports a scanning campaign observed on its Honeynet in March 2026. It recorded 1,897 session-grouped attempts (2,821 raw events) tied to CVE-2018-14028, a WordPress 4.9.7 unrestricted file upload flaw, and the CVE entered the monthly top 10 after being absent in February. Instead of exploiting the upload flaw, the operator probes…

Zhang is described as a director at Shanghai Firetech Information Science and Technology, working under …
Copyright takedown requests tied to OnlyFans and other adult content creators are exposing how attackers exploit vulnerable university and government websites to manipulate search results. The takedown notices act as a visible indicator of compromised sites that were abused to host or promote content for search engine manipulation. UpGuar…
Nord Security reports 2,894 ransomware attacks between July and September 2026, a 50% increase year over year and an 8.6% rise over Q2 2026. Researchers attribute the rebound to the market stabilizing after law enforcement takedowns of LockBit, BlackCat and RansomHub, which suppressed activity during 2025. The Gentlemen (383 attacks) narr…
Researchers at Hacktron (author ginoah) described five bypasses of the Vercel WAF rules protecting against React2Shell (CVE-2025-55182), a pre-auth RCE in React Server Functions affecting Next.js 15.x–16.0.6 and other React-based frameworks. The bypasses were found during a Vercel bounty challenge. Per Vercel's writeup, 116 researchers to…
Sekoia observed an attacker interacting with an exposed Flowise AI orchestration honeypot (emulating version 2.2.8) in late August 2026. The operator enumerated chatflows and stored credentials, tried to create a rogue workflow, and used prompt injection to turn the agent into an offensive analysis assistant. Sekoia assesses the activity …
GreyNoise observed automated scanners impersonating the web crawlers of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Perplexity, DeepSeek and Amazon while requesting environment files, cloud access keys, private keys and password stores. A cluster of 13 forged AI crawler names from eight companies was seen; six names (belonging to Anthropic, OpenAI, Google…
A Hacktron researcher argues that AI-assisted vulnerability research is rapidly widening the enterprise attack surface. He cites recent breaches at Vercel and GitHub and a wave of critical CVEs in F5, Fortinet, Cisco, Palo Alto and ImageMagick. According to the author, the Vercel compromise began with a breach of the AI platform Context.a…
F5 Labs, with Efflux sensor telemetry, profiled a persistent information-disclosure scanner operating from 78.153.140.203 in a netblock of AS202306 (HOSTGLOBAL.PLUS LTD), a UK ISP. The IP was first seen on 10 January 2025, vanished on 10 April, and returned on 11 July 2025. It scans 130 unique URLs: 80.23% are variations of /.env, 11.45% …
In late August 2026, Sekoia's TDR team observed an attacker compromise an unauthenticated Flowise honeypot (emulating v2.2.8). The attacker harvested stored credentials, tried to plant a malicious chatflow with a callback to 154.217.251.226, and used prompt injection to turn the LLM agent into an offensive analysis assistant. The activity…
Researcher Pedro Cruz (gankd) documents two Client-Side Path Traversal (CSPT) chains found in production bug bounty programs. The first turns CSPT into Stored XSS and account takeover on a payments platform's Angular POS single-page application. The second, found with Felipe Torres, triggers unauthorized account deletion on one of the lar…
Unit 42 Threat Intelligence published its overview of the top five initial access threat vectors observed in September 2026.
