Relay Chains, Bind-Link Blindspots, and a Wave of Live Zero-Days

SpecterOps documented a new NTLM-relay egress technique enabling Active Directory privilege escalation by coercing outbound authentication through cloud relays over WebDAV, bypassing SMB egress restrictions. Bitdefender revealed that Windows bind links can create filesystem view conflicts that hide malware from EDR detection by redirecting trusted paths to attacker-controlled content. Two SonicWall SMA1000 zero-days (CVE-2026-15409 and CVE-2026-15410) are under active exploitation in the wild, with CISA adding them to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Four to five compromised npm packages (@asyncapi suite) delivered a multi-stage botnet loader with info-stealing and RAT capabilities via GitHub Actions and IPFS, affecting versions including generator@3.3.1 and specs@6.11.2.

Ransomware on Autopilot, and a Pile of Critical Bugs Under Fire

Sysdig documented the first end-to-end ransomware operation run by an LLM, with an operator dubbed JADEPUFFER exploiting CVE-2025-3248 in Langflow to break in, steal credentials, move laterally, and encrypt a production database. Adobe patched seven CVSS 10.0 flaws in ColdFusion and Campaign Classic (APSB26-68) enabling arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation, with watchTowr and others linking the surge to AI models finding bugs. Google and the FBI disrupted the NetNut/Popa residential proxy botnet affecting ~2 million devices and linked to 316 distinct threat clusters running cybercrime and espionage. Multiple critical vulnerabilities in SharePoint (CVE-2026-45659), NetScaler (CVE-2026-8451), Oracle E-Business Suite (CVE-2026-46817), and WinRAR (CVE-2026-14191) are under active exploitation, with CitrixBleed-successor CVE-2026-8451 exploited within days of disclosure using public PoC code.
