UK Council Attack Linked to Mass Exploitation of SonicWall Flaw

Hunt.io links a UK council attack to mass exploitation of SonicWall SMA1000 flaw CVE-2026-15409 (CVSS 10.0), enabling credential and Active Directory theft.

Hunt.io links, with moderate confidence, the July 17, 2026 attack on the Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk to mass exploitation of SonicWall SMA1000 appliances via CVE-2026-15409, an unauthenticated SSRF in the WorkPlace portal WebSocket proxy with CVSS 10.0. The operator adapted Rapid7's July 15 PoC into a 50-thread mass scanner within days and stole LDAP credentials for 534 Active Directory accounts across 160 domains, with nine environments losing SAM/LSA secrets and five losing full AD databases via DCSync. CISA added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog and noted use in ransomware campaigns; targeting of ~200,000 Shodan-derived SonicWall addresses spanned government, healthcare, finance, universities, and manufacturing worldwide.

  • Unauthenticated SSRF in SonicWall SMA1000 Appliances
    CVE-2026-15409 is a server-side request forgery (SSRF, CWE-918) in the Appliance Work Place interface of SonicWall SMA1000 series appliances. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can trigger the flaw over the network, causing the appliance to issue requests to attacker-influenced or unintended internal locations. Because the CVSS vector scores scope-changed impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, the SSRF is assessed as capable of reaching sensitive internal services, and reporting indicates it is being used alongside a second SMA1000 zero-day in what may be an exploitation chain. Affected organizations are those running SMA1000 appliances, including SMA 6210, SMA 7210, and SMA 8200v models, which typically act as internet-facing remote-access/VPN gateways. Exploitation is confirmed in the wild: the flaw was added to CISA's KEV on 2026-07-14, ransomware use is known, and EPSS assigns an 83.7% probability of exploitation within 30 days, though no public PoC is available.
