WordPress core suffers an unauthenticated remote code execution chain affecting versions 6.9.0–6.9.4 and 7.0.0–7.0.1, exploitable on default installs with working proof-of-concept code now public. Microsoft SharePoint CVE-2026-58644, Oracle E-Business Suite CVE-2026-46817, and Fortinet FortiSandbox zero-days are under active exploitation with CISA remediation deadlines. Finland's security service revealed a multi-year Russian FSB campaign targeting critical infrastructure via internet-exposed legacy devices like Cisco Smart Install. NadMesh Go botnet harvests cloud credentials from exposed AI services including Langflow, Ollama, and Gradio, claiming over 3,800 unique AWS keys and Kubernetes tokens.

GhostLock (CVE-2026-43499), a 15-year-old Linux kernel use-after-free in every mainstream distribution since 2011, enables unauthenticated root access and container escape when paired with a Firefox 0-day in a full browser-to-kernel exploit chain. GhostApproval symlink flaws in six AI coding assistants (Amazon Q Developer, Claude Code, Cursor, Google Antigravity, Windsurf, Augment) allow booby-trapped repositories to redirect file writes and achieve RCE via misleading confirmation dialogs. CISA added actively-exploited Adobe ColdFusion (CVE-2026-48282) and Langflow auth-bypass flaws to its KEV catalog, with the Langflow issue matching the JADEPUFFER operator's exploitation from the prior week. AI agents are lowering the barrier for less-skilled attackers: hallucination-squatting registers fake package names that models invent, delivering malware to developers, while researchers demonstrate that agents scanning untrusted code for bugs can instead execute the attacker's payload on the analyst's machine.
