    Hackers now scanning systems for recently-patched Oracle flaw

    Attackers have begun actively scanning the internet for systems vulnerable to a recently disclosed critical flaw in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS). The vulnerability was recently patched by Oracle, but unpatched systems remain at risk. The scanning activity indicates threat actors are attempting to identify and potentially exploit vulnerable installations before administrators apply the patch. Oracle EBS is widely used in enterprise environments, making this a significant risk for organizations that have not yet updated. The situation underscores the importance of rapid patch deployment following critical vulnerability disclosures, especially when exploit scanning begins shortly after public disclosure.

    Critical 16-Year-Old UEFI Flaw Can Run Code Before Secure Boot on Network-Booting Servers

    A critical vulnerability discovered in EDK II, the widely-used open-source UEFI firmware codebase, has existed for approximately 16 years. The flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a target machine before the operating system loads, effectively bypassing Secure Boot protections. The attack vector is limited to network-booting scenarios, meaning the machine must be performing a PXE or similar network boot for exploitation to occur. Since EDK II is used by most hardware manufacturers to build their UEFI firmware, the scope of affected devices is extremely broad. The vulnerability poses a significant risk to data centers, enterprise servers, and any environment where network booting is common. Exploitation could allow attackers to implant persistent firmware-level malware or rootkits that survive OS reinstallation. The age of the flaw suggests it may have been present and potentially exploitable in production environments for over a decade.

    CISA warns of hackers now exploiting critical Node2Shell flaw

    CISA has issued a warning that threat actors are actively exploiting a critical vulnerability in the Brotli compression library, referred to as Node2Shell, Broccoli2Shell, and HTTP2Shell. The flaw is considered critical and has moved from theoretical risk to active exploitation in the wild. CISA's alert signals that organizations using affected Node.js or HTTP/2 implementations leveraging Brotli should treat this as an urgent remediation priority. The vulnerability allows attackers to potentially gain shell-level access to affected systems, hence the 'Shell' suffix in its common names. This type of advisory typically precedes broader exploitation campaigns and ransomware or espionage activity. Organizations are advised to patch immediately and review CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog for guidance.

    American Organizations Under Attack: Skyw4lker Device Code Phishing Campaign Exposed

    The Skyw4lker campaign is a device code phishing operation primarily targeting U.S.-based organizations. Rather than relying on traditional credential theft, attackers abuse legitimate cloud services, authentication mechanisms, and trusted business workflows to gain unauthorized access to corporate accounts. The campaign was analyzed by ANY.RUN, which exposed its methodology and scope. Device code phishing exploits OAuth device authorization flows to trick users into granting attackers access tokens. This technique leaves fewer obvious signs of compromise compared to conventional phishing. The campaign highlights the growing trend of attackers leveraging legitimate infrastructure to bypass security controls.

    Anthropic's Unreleased AI Model Chains Flaws Into Working Chrome, Safari, Windows and Linux Exploits

    Anthropic's unreleased AI model autonomously discovered security vulnerabilities in major platforms including Chrome, Safari, Android, Windows, and Linux, and chained them into working proof-of-concept exploits. The exploits were generated in a controlled lab environment after the model was prompted, and were not observed in any real-world attacks. Anthropic responsibly disclosed all discovered flaws to the respective vendors before publication, and all vulnerabilities have since been patched. This marks a significant demonstration of AI-assisted vulnerability research and exploit development capabilities. The findings raise important questions about the dual-use nature of advanced AI models in cybersecurity contexts.

    Tailscale Patches SSH Flaws That Could Let Hacked Devices Gain Root Access on Other Servers

    Tailscale has released version 1.104.4 to address critical security flaws in its built-in SSH server. The vulnerabilities reside in how Tailscale SSH handles network connection forwarding, a process executed with root privileges by the Tailscale background daemon. An attacker who has already compromised a device within a Tailscale network could potentially exploit these flaws to gain unauthorized access to services and files on other servers that should only be accessible by the root user. The flaws represent a significant privilege escalation and lateral movement risk within Tailscale-managed networks. Users are strongly advised to update to version 1.104.4 immediately to mitigate the risk.

    ShinyHunters-Exploited Oracle PeopleSoft Zero-Day Turns Out to Be Three Chained Flaws

    A critical vulnerability in Oracle PeopleSoft, initially thought to be a single zero-day, has been revealed as three chained flaws. The vulnerability chain, tracked under CVE-2026-35273, has been actively exploited by the threat actor ShinyHunters since May 2026. Oracle patched all three flaws under a single CVE identifier in June 2026. The root cause is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability that allows attackers to reach an internal management interface by exploiting PeopleSoft's trust of its own loopback address. Researchers who reported the vulnerabilities disclosed the chained nature of the exploit this week, highlighting the complexity of the attack vector.

    Broadcom VMWare ESX Insufficient Logging Vulnerability

    CVE-2026-41709 is an insufficient logging vulnerability affecting Broadcom VMware ESX. The flaw allows a malicious actor with administrative access to perform certain operations without those actions being recorded in logs. This creates a significant blind spot for security monitoring and forensic investigation. The vulnerability was catalogued by CISA and is subject to BOD 26-04, which prioritizes security updates based on risk. Broadcom has published a security advisory with remediation details. The absence of audit trails for admin actions could facilitate insider threats or post-compromise lateral movement without detection. Organizations running VMware ESX are advised to apply the relevant security updates promptly.

    Malicious Firefox Extensions Impersonate Phantom, Jupiter, and Bitget to Steal Wallet Secrets

    Socket's Threat Research Team discovered a cluster of malicious Firefox extensions impersonating Phantom, Jupiter, and Bitget crypto wallets to steal recovery phrases and private keys. The extensions use Unicode homoglyphs to mimic legitimate wallet names and route stolen data to brand-named subdomains of a single C2 apex, bonto[.]io. The Phantom impersonator uses a two-stage approach: a loader fetches a remote payload at runtime, allowing operators to swap the stealer after Mozilla's review. All three extensions also bundle complete stealers in their signed packages. The Phantom package additionally contains a Node.js drainer backend that forwards stolen secrets via Telegram and auto-sweeps funds to hardcoded wallet addresses across multiple blockchains. Infrastructure provisioned for Coinbase and Exodus subdomains suggests the campaign is broader than the three confirmed listings. Rating manipulation was observed on the Phantom listing to suppress negative reviews from victims reporting fund losses. All three listings have been removed from Firefox Add-ons as of publication.
