Hackers Allegedly Selling Fortinet FortiGate 1-Day Vulnerability on Underground Forums

An unverified underground listing offers a claimed FortiGate SSL VPN RCE exploit for FortiOS 7.2.x/7.4.x amid ongoing exploitation of known Fortinet flaws.

Dark Web Intelligence shared an advertisement for a private '1-day' remote code execution exploit targeting FortiGate SSL VPN appliances on FortiOS 7.2.x and 7.4.x, with a claimed proof-of-concept video but no CVE, firmware builds, or technical details. The listing coincides with confirmed in-the-wild exploitation of CVE-2025-25249, an unauthenticated heap-based buffer overflow patched in January 2026 but exploited since July 2026, and CVE-2024-21762, a critical out-of-bounds write in the FortiOS and FortiProxy SSL VPN component. Fortinet has advised disabling SSL VPN where immediate upgrades are not possible.

12 Serverless Security Options Compared (2026): Features & Pricing

A buyer-focused comparison of twelve serverless security offerings concludes no standalone SKU is worth buying in 2026, with function protection bundled inside CNAPP contracts.

The scorecard compares twelve serverless security options on function-protection depth, pricing visibility, platform attach economics, multi-runtime coverage, and vendor viability. Microsoft Defender for Cloud tops the weighted scores at 4.75, with Prisma Cloud at 4.60 and Datadog at 4.55 noted for publishing clean per-function rates. The piece warns that Thundra and Epsagon are defunct and that most vendors bill functions inside platform units where costs are hard to see.

Thai Broadband Provider Hacked via Fortinet Vulnerability

Hackers exploited Fortinet CVE-2024-21762 RCE to breach Thai broadband provider 3BB, deploying MeshCentral backdoors and credential-harvesting tools across its network.

Hunt.io uncovered an intrusion staging directory in Thailand containing 298 files of custom tooling built for Triple T Broadband (3BB) and its former owner Jasmine. Initial access came via fingerprinting a FortiGate SSL-VPN appliance and exploiting CVE-2024-21762 for remote code execution, after probing CVE-2018-13379, CVE-2022-42475, and CVE-2023-27997. The actor also probed F5 BIG-IP for CVE-2021-22986, CVE-2022-1388, and CVE-2023-46747, escalated privileges with PwnKit and Dirty COW, used MeshCentral as a C2 backdoor, harvested SSH/database/SNMP/Radius credentials, deployed PHP web shells, and ran cleanup scripts to hide the intrusion.

Top 10 Best Multi-Cloud Security Platforms in 2026

An editorial roundup of the ten best multi-cloud security platforms for 2026, split between CNAPPs (Wiz, Prisma Cloud) and cloud-networking security (Aviatrix).

The article frames multi-cloud security as two markets: CNAPP platforms (Wiz, Prisma Cloud, CrowdStrike, Orca, Defender) securing what runs in clouds, and cloud-networking-security platforms (Aviatrix) securing how clouds connect. It ranks ten platforms including Palo Alto Prisma Cloud for breadth, Wiz for correlation, Check Point CloudGuard, Fortinet, Aviatrix, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Trend Micro, and CrowdStrike. It flags the ~$32 billion Google–Wiz acquisition as raising cloud-neutrality questions buyers should address contractually.

Hackers Deploy Casbaneiro Banking Trojan That Activates When Victims Open Bank Websites

Fortinet details Casbaneiro banking Trojan campaign hitting Latin American bank customers via invoice-themed PDF phishing, with AutoIt loading, RegSvcs.exe injection, and bank-site-triggered activation.

Fortinet identified an August 2026 Casbaneiro banking Trojan campaign targeting users in Argentina, Peru, Colombia, and Mexico through phishing PDFs styled as urgent invoices or legal notices. The staged chain uses IP-based geo-filtering, a Base64-encoded ZIP, an HTA file, and a legitimate AutoIt interpreter before injecting into RegSvcs.exe or mobsync.exe and persisting via a Startup shortcut. The Trojan exfiltrates address book and Outlook data unencrypted, stays dormant until victims visit targeted bank sites, then accepts commands for keyboard control, clipboard pasting, file execution, and command execution. It uses an expected HTTP 403 response from a second server and malformed HTTP requests to complicate network analysis.

Top 10 Best CNAPP (Cloud-Native Application Protection) Platforms in 2026

GBHackers ranks 10 CNAPP platforms for 2026, naming Wiz, Prisma Cloud, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud as category leaders.

The guide describes CNAPP as the umbrella combining CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, and DSPM, arguing that cross-pillar correlation of attack paths is the platform's core value. Wiz is ranked best for graph-based correlation, Prisma Cloud for the broadest module set, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud for Azure economics. It also cites Google's approximately $32 billion agreement to acquire Wiz, announced in March 2025, as buyer leverage and a reason to seek roadmap and neutrality protections in multi-year contracts.

GitLab’s critical flaw is already drawing internet-wide probes

GitLab patches two critical flaws (CVE-2026-85706 CVSS 10.0, CVE-2026-87719) as WatchTowr observes internet-wide probing of the unauthenticated file-read bug.

GitLab released emergency patches for two high-severity flaws in Community and Enterprise Editions, urging self-managed operators to upgrade immediately while saying its hosted and Dedicated offerings are fixed or unaffected. CVE-2026-85706 (CVSS 10.0) is a path traversal in the repository commits interface that lets unauthenticated attackers read any file on the server and affects releases 18.7 through 19.1.8 plus the 19.2 and 19.3 lines before patching. CVE-2026-87719 (CVSS 9.9, Enterprise Edition only) lets a logged-in Duo Chat user hide a command in a request that triggers Advanced Search settings and password disclosure. WatchTowr Labs reported it is already watching probes that can trigger the path traversal flaw in a single HTTP request, though CISA had not added either issue to the KEV list as of Friday afternoon.

Cisco Secure Email Gateway Flaw Exploited in the Wild, Enables Root Command Execution

Cisco warns CVE-2026-76461 in Secure Email Gateway AsyncOS is actively exploited, letting unauthenticated attackers run root commands via crafted emails.

Cisco disclosed CVE-2026-76461, a CVSS 9.8 flaw in AsyncOS for Cisco Secure Email Gateway caused by insufficient validation in email parsing, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL statements leading to root command execution. Active exploitation began in September 2026, and CISA added the flaw to its KEV catalog, requiring FCEB agencies to patch by September 17, 2026. Fixes are available in AsyncOS 15.5.5-0141, 16.0.4-302, and 16.5.0-780, with no workarounds.

3BB Attacker Used MeshCentral Backdoor for Root Access, Targeted Subscriber Credentials

Hunt.io found an attacker holding root access inside Thai ISP 3BB via a MeshCentral backdoor, targeting subscriber RADIUS credential databases.

Hunt.io discovered an exposed attacker server on June 3, 2026 revealing an ongoing intrusion at 3BB, one of Thailand's largest broadband providers. The attacker maintained hidden MeshCentral agents reporting to www.ayuthayatech[.]com (device group TH-3BB) and held root on internal servers. Recovered scripts sprayed passwords over SSH against more than 55 internal machines, planted web shells, added SSH keys, searched for stored credentials, and targeted RADIUS subscriber credential databases, though exfiltration was not confirmed. The toolkit included a full exploit for FortiGate SSL-VPN flaw CVE-2024-21762 against mail.3bb.co[.]th, but the initial access vector is unestablished, and a cleanup script erased logs while preserving the backdoor.
