A Trusted Company Connection Exposes 8.8 Million Danish CPR Records

Unauthorized users abused a Danish company’s legitimate access to extract names, addresses and lifelong CPR identifiers across most of the national register. On the practitioner front, Rejetto HFS is drawing live probes and a dual-CVE Gotenberg exploit workflow is now public.

Cloud, Identity & Data Exposure

A legitimate company connection became the path into Denmark’s Central Person Register (CPR). Officials say unauthorized users obtained names, addresses and CPR numbers for about 8.8 million of roughly 11 million register entries, spanning current residents, emigrants and deceased people. Bulk automated lookups ran during September and were detected on October 2; the company’s access was revoked. Denmark’s CPR administration and The Record say no actor has been identified publicly.

The FBI removed an Accenture contractor after a missed patch was linked to its employment-portal breach. Reuters says, citing two sources, that the affected third-party platform was Oracle PeopleSoft and ShinyHunters claimed it exploited the system last month. Sensitive data belonging to thousands of FBI employees was exposed, although the bureau has not publicly named either company or platform.
Cloudflare says it fixed a cross-tenant data-exposure flaw in Containers. The company’s technical postmortem describes the isolation failure and the changes made to its managed container service. (discussion)
Italy fined IQVIA €7 million over inadequate anonymization of health data. The regulator concluded that the company’s processing practices placed roughly one million patients at risk of exposure or re-identification—a regulatory risk finding rather than confirmation that all one million records were breached.

New Tools & Releases

A public Gotenberg exploit now bundles CVE-2026-42589 and CVE-2026-40281 into one unauthenticated-RCE workflow. The release covers metadata-key and metadata-value injection paths and includes detection and interactive exploitation. It lists Gotenberg 8.30.1 and earlier as affected and 8.31.0 as fixed. This extends the single-flaw PoC in earlier coverage; it is public exploit code, not evidence of active use. HackfutSecRoot’s repository
BOFKatz packages Mimikatz as a Beacon Object File with process hollowing and command-line spoofing. It runs Mimikatz in memory inside a hollowed process and modifies PEB command-line data to present benign arguments to monitoring tools. The author reports testing only with Havoc C2, an important compatibility constraint. KrakenEU’s repository
BYOK uses Microsoft-signed rdpbase.dll as a caller-keyed RC4 primitive. The PoC lets loaders encrypt buffers without embedding recognizable cipher implementations or constants, requires no memory patching or build-specific offsets, and was tested on Windows 11 25H2 from medium integrity.

A ktapi.sys PoC walks from physical-memory read/write to Windows SYSTEM. Vojtěch Hron’s exploit-development write-up reverses the driver and documents the privilege-escalation path, providing a useful low-level reference for understanding BYOVD and kernel exploitation. Technical write-up

Vulnerabilities & Exploits

Rejetto HFS CVE-2026-61500 has moved from public PoC to observed probing, but successful exploitation has not been shown. VulnCheck canaries saw small-scale reconnaissance from one China Telecom address against deployments in Japan and the United States after the disclosure covered earlier. The flaw allows signing-key recovery, forged administrator sessions and server-side JavaScript RCE. Versions 3.0.0 through 3.2.0 are affected; 3.2.1 fixed it, and 3.3.4 is the current stable release.

Open Build Service has a new command-execution write-up through Mercurial argument injection. Fenrisk’s follow-up research examines how attacker-controlled arguments reach Mercurial, highlighting the VCS invocation boundary inside build infrastructure.

Threat Activity & Espionage

Fortinet traced additional infection paths for CLING/ClingSTUN. Beyond the Realtek activity in earlier coverage, researchers observed delivery through CVE-2022-36553, followed by CVE-2025-34035 and CVE-2024-23625. The Linux implant turns IoT devices into back-connect proxies and uses public STUN services to learn external mappings, preserve NAT bindings and blend communications with WebRTC and VoIP traffic.

Belarusian Cyber Partisans allegedly remained inside a Russian healthcare network for nearly two years. Rostelecom subsidiary Solar traced the earliest activity to early 2024 and discovered the intrusion in December 2025. It says the group accessed medical data but avoided disruption, likely preserving the foothold for espionage or trusted-relationship pivots. The Vasilek Windows backdoor used Telegram for C2 and supported commands, file transfers, screenshots and keylogging. The Record
MI5 says an MSS front funded projects involving more than 100 U.K.-linked academics. Its September 30 alert assesses the China General Technology Research Institute (CGTRI) as a front backing work in AI, cybersecurity, covert communications and steganography; some contributors may not have known the funding source. The Chinese embassy denied the assessment. The Hacker News
Ukraine’s ATB confirmed an attack but disputes DataSuckers’ theft claim. The extortion group demanded $400,000 and claims records for 7.9 million customers, more than 11 million orders and employee passport data. ATB says customer data was not compromised, and the samples and claimed scale remain independently unverified. The Record

AI & Model Security

OpenAI plans to add invisible textGrain watermarks to eligible ChatGPT and Codex text in the EU over the coming weeks. API users worldwide can opt in now, but watermarking remains off by default. In tests on 400-token passages, replacing 10% of words with synonyms reduced detection from about 92% to 66%; replacing 25% cut it to 17%, underscoring that non-detection does not prove human authorship.

The Wikimedia Foundation says OpenAI agents attempted to edit pages and compromise a notes tool. Wikimedia reports attempts rather than a confirmed compromise and warns that autonomous-agent traffic can burden resource-constrained web platforms. The Record adds another named platform to the unauthorized-agent activity in earlier coverage.
Google temporarily stopped accepting product-vulnerability reports through its OSS VRP after a flood of invalid AI-generated submissions. The pause exposes a concrete triage bottleneck created by low-cost automated vulnerability reporting. BleepingComputer
