NASA AIT-GUI Flaws Could Let Unauthenticated Attackers Issue Spacecraft Commands
Researchers disclosed 9.4-CVSS flaws in NASA/JPL's AIT-GUI allowing unauthenticated attackers to issue arbitrary spacecraft commands via exposed command endpoints.
Cycode disclosed a flaw chain in AIT-GUI, the browser-based operator console for NASA/JPL's open-source AMMOS Instrument Toolkit, tracked as GHSA-p9r8-2q67-fp86 with CVSS 9.4, affecting versions 2.5.1 and earlier. The server binds to 0.0.0.0:8080, issues sessions without credential checks, and lets unauthenticated users issue spacecraft commands via POST /cmd and reach files outside intended directories via /script/run and /seq (CWE-306, CWE-352, CWE-22). Version 2.5.2 adds host binding and same-origin checks but does not add authentication, and a related missing-authentication flaw was published separately as CVE-2026-60112 with CVSS 9.3.

Testing race conditions with memory access tracing and stack-based delay injection
Google Project Zero released MAccConc, Linux kernel tooling that traces memory accesses to explore and test race condition interleavings.
A Google Project Zero researcher published MAccConc (Memory Access Concurrency), tooling for exploring possible interleavings of multithreaded test cases in the Linux kernel, available on GitHub. The tools use KCOV with ASAN outline-mode instrumentation to record per-access memory traces, enabling automatic testing of all A-B-A interleavings plus terminal and GUI explorers for manual analysis. The work targets confirming race condition candidates, building reliable regression tests, and enabling concurrency fuzzing, drawing on ideas from SKI and Ned Williamson's sockfuzzer.

Critical Flaw in NASA/JPL Open-Source Spacecraft Command Software Allowed Unauthenticated Command Execution
NASA/JPL's AIT-GUI web console (CVSS 9.4) lacked authentication and CSRF protection, letting anyone send unauthenticated commands to spacecraft instruments; fixed in 2.5.2.
Cycode researchers found that AIT-GUI, the browser console of NASA/JPL's open-source AMMOS Instrument Toolkit, ran an HTTP server with no authentication, no session checks, and no CSRF protection on state-changing endpoints, allowing arbitrary commands to spacecraft instruments. The issue combines four weaknesses: binding to 0.0.0.0 regardless of configured host, missing authentication, missing CSRF defense, and path traversal in the /seq and /script/run endpoints. Tracked as GHSA-p9r8-2q67-fp86 with CVSS 9.4, it is fixed in AIT-GUI 2.5.2. The findings came from AI-assisted code analysis confirmed with working proofs-of-concept, including a headless-browser CSRF demonstration.

Homebrew 7.0.0 gets built-in GUI, better security controls
Homebrew 7.0.0 adds a built-in vulnerability scanner (brew vulns), a Homebrew advisory database, stronger sandboxing, and the BrewUI GUI.
Homebrew 7.0.0 ships a native BrewUI graphical interface for macOS 26 Tahoe and later, plus a new 'brew vulns' command that queries OSV.dev in batch to flag vulnerabilities in installed formulae, specific packages, or Brewfile dependencies. The release also introduces a Homebrew-specific OSV-format advisory database distinguishing outstanding vulnerabilities from backported fixes. Sandbox improvements block home directory access by default and separate network-enabled dependency downloads from offline installs.

JWT used for authentication in web GUI signed with static key
Fortinet warns that FortiMonitorOnSight's web GUI uses JWTs signed with a static key, enabling remote unauthenticated authentication bypass.
Fortinet advisory FG-IR-26-170 discloses a CVSS 9.6 vulnerability (CWE-540, sensitive information in source code) in the FortiMonitorOnSight web portal. The web GUI's JWT authentication tokens are signed with a static key, allowing a remote unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication via forged or reused JWTs. The advisory was revised on September 8, 2026.

Fortinet FortiSandbox Vulnerability Allows Unauthenticated Attackers to Access Sensitive Information
Fortinet fixed CVE-2026-26084, an unauthenticated access-control flaw in FortiSandbox GUI rated 8.9 CVSS, with no known exploitation yet.
Fortinet disclosed CVE-2026-26084 (advisory FG-IR-26-166), a CWE-284 improper access control flaw in the GUI of FortiSandbox, FortiSandbox Cloud and FortiSandbox PaaS, rated 8.9 CVSS v3.1. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP requests to control NAT rules and expose sensitive information. Affected versions include FortiSandbox 4.4.0-4.4.8 and 5.0.0-5.0.5 (plus Cloud/PaaS 5.0.4-5.0.5), fixed in 4.4.9 and 5.0.6. Fortinet researcher Adham El Karn found the flaw internally and the September 8 advisory reports no known exploitation.

RANCOR: Targeted Attacks in South East Asia Using PLAINTEE and DDKONG Malware Families
Unit 42 names RANCOR, a previously unidentified espionage group targeting Southeast Asian political entities with newly discovered PLAINTEE and DDKONG malware families.
Unit 42 tracks a previously unidentified group it dubs RANCOR conducting highly targeted espionage attacks in Singapore and Cambodia using two custom malware families, DDKONG and PLAINTEE. Attacks appear to have begun with spear phishing, with decoy political news documents hosted on legitimate sites including a Cambodian government website and Facebook. Infrastructure links to IP 89.46.222[.]97 and KHRAT-associated domains such as facebook-apps[.]com, and the activity is grouped into two clusters tied together by PLAINTEE usage and similar targeting.
