Off Guard: Breaking LiteLLM from authentication bypass to cloud compromise
Wiz found LiteLLM auth bypass (CVE-2026-59822) and post-auth RCE (CVE-2026-59821) chainable to cloud compromise; the bypass is in CISA KEV with in-the-wild exploitation.
Wiz scanned roughly 3,074 internet-facing LiteLLM deployments and found 9.6% accepted the default master key sk-1234 or required no authentication, making post-auth attacks effectively pre-auth. The MCP endpoint accepts any Bearer token and grants a valid session (CVE-2026-59822), confirmed exploited in the wild via honeypots and added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Custom code guardrails allow post-auth root-level RCE via exec(compile(...)) (CVE-2026-59821), while pass-through endpoints lack URL validation, enabling cloud credential theft in post-auth scenarios. All assigned vulnerabilities have been patched; the research was presented at DEF CON 34.
U.S. CISA adds maximum-severity Oracle flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog
CISA added actively exploited CVE-2026-21962, a CVSS 10.0 unauthenticated flaw in Oracle HTTP Server and WebLogic Proxy Plug-in, to KEV with an August 27 deadline.
CISA added CVE-2026-21962 (CVSS 10.0), an improper access control vulnerability in Oracle HTTP Server and the Oracle WebLogic Server Proxy Plug-in, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog and ordered federal agencies to remediate by August 27, 2026. The unauthenticated flaw allows remote attackers with network access to create, delete, or modify critical data, potentially gain broad access, and cause a scope change to other systems; affected versions are 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0 and 14.1.2.0.0. CloudSEK honeypot data from January-February 2026 showed widespread exploitation of the flaw alongside older WebLogic RCEs including CVE-2020-14882/14883, CVE-2020-2551, and CVE-2017-10271.
Active exploitation of Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center vulnerabilities
Cisco Talos reports in-the-wild exploitation of critical FMC flaw CVE-2026-20079 by three clusters including a Sandworm-linked APT and Qilin ransomware affiliates.
Cisco Talos is tracking active exploitation of CVE-2026-20079 (CVSS 10.0), an authentication bypass in Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center that lets unauthenticated remote attackers execute scripts and obtain root access, and CVE-2026-20316 (CVSS 5.3), which permits low-privileged logins and can be chained for privilege escalation. Talos identified three post-compromise clusters: UAT-12197 deploying JSP web shells and a JAR command executor for credential theft; UAT-11823, an APT overlapping with Sandworm, deploying a Netcat reverse shell and Cyclops Blink malware; and UAT-11988, assessed as a ransomware operator with TTPs consistent with Qilin affiliates. Hotfixes are available, with a comprehensive hardening release due the week of September 14, 2026.
Actively Exploited Oracle WebLogic Flaw Lets Unauthenticated Attackers Access Critical Data
CISA added actively exploited Oracle WebLogic flaw CVE-2026-21962 (CVSS 10.0) to its KEV catalog, letting unauthenticated attackers access or modify critical data.
CISA added CVE-2026-21962, a CVSS 10.0 improper access control flaw in Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle WebLogic Server Proxy Plug-in, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation. Oracle shipped patches in January 2026, and GreyNoise, CloudSEK, and SOCRadar have since reported exploitation attempts, including a lone IP scanning multiple WebLogic, Ivanti, GNU InetUtils, and GLPI vulnerabilities. The flaw is also among several exploited by a China-linked actor delivering the SNOWLIGHT downloader to government and commercial infrastructure in more than 100 countries. Federal civilian agencies must apply fixes by August 27, 2026 under BOD 26-04.
