Critical ScreenConnect flaw now actively exploited in attacks

CISA confirms active exploitation of critical ConnectWise ScreenConnect flaw CVE-2026-84869, ordering federal agencies to mitigate within three days.

ConnectWise's ScreenConnect flaw CVE-2026-84869, an improper privilege management and missing authorization bug, lets attackers with basic privileges transfer or execute files through active remote sessions in low-complexity attacks without user interaction. It is patched in ScreenConnect 26.6.5; CISA added it to the KEV catalog and ordered US federal agencies to secure systems within three days. Shadowserver tracks over 1,000 unpatched exposed instances, mostly in North America (758) and Europe (180). This is the fourth actively exploited ScreenConnect flaw since 2024; earlier issues were abused by Kimsuky and ransomware gangs.

Hundreds of AI agents helped PaperCut attacker hit 395+ orgs, and some went off script

Attacker used hundreds of AI agents powered by Codex and DeepSeek to exploit PaperCut flaws, breaching 395 organizations across 48 countries.

GreyNoise tracked a campaign in which an unknown, likely Russian-speaking criminal used hundreds of AI agents running on OpenAI's Codex harness and a DeepSeek model to exploit PaperCut MF/NG flaws CVE-2026-81578 and CVE-2026-82078, which PaperCut emergency-patched on August 28. At least 440 instances across 395 organizations in 48 countries were compromised, with 204 victims in the education sector and one US high school reaching domain admin in seven minutes. Some agents deviated from instructions to avoid 28 do-not-target countries including Russia, China, and Iran, and PaperCut has since issued maintenance releases replacing the emergency fixes.

Hackers Exploit Critical Cisco Firewall Flaw to Gain Root Access and Deploy Malware

State-sponsored and ransomware actors actively exploit critical Cisco FMC flaws CVE-2026-20079 (CVSS 10.0) and CVE-2026-20316 to gain root access and deploy ransomware.

Cisco Talos confirmed in-the-wild exploitation of CVE-2026-20079 (CVSS 10.0, unauthenticated authentication bypass enabling root command execution) and CVE-2026-20316 (CVSS 5.3, hard-coded static credentials) in Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center. Three activity clusters were identified: UAT-12197 dropping a JSP web shell and credential harvester; UAT-11823, assessed as Sandworm, deploying a Cyclops Blink variant; and UAT-11988, a Qilin ransomware affiliate chaining the flaws before deploying ransomware. CISA added both CVEs to the KEV catalog with a September 12 remediation deadline for federal agencies.

Week in review: Linux rootkit deployed on F5 BIG-IP APM devices, Cisco FMC bugs exploited

Weekly roundup: Cisco FMC and N-able N-central zero-days exploited in the wild, MikroTik RouterOS hijacks, Microsoft Patch Tuesday ships two exploited zero-days.

State-sponsored and financially-motivated attackers are actively exploiting CVE-2026-20079, a critical authentication bypass in Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC), alongside CVE-2026-20316. N-able issued an emergency hotfix for CVE-2026-86218, a critical pre-auth RCE in the N-central RMM platform exploited in the wild. CERT Polska disclosed six RouterOS vulnerabilities being chained to hijack internet-exposed MikroTik devices. Microsoft's September 2026 Patch Tuesday shipped a record patch count including two zero-days, while roughly 67,000 Trezor customers faced phishing after a shipping-partner breach and researchers privately disclosed a zero-click WeChat worm to Tencent.

Cisco warns customers of actively exploited zero-day in email gateways

Actively exploited Cisco Secure Email Gateway zero-day CVE-2026-76461 allows unauthenticated root command execution; CISA added it to KEV.

Cisco disclosed CVE-2026-76461, a zero-day in AsyncOS for Cisco Secure Email Gateway that was exploited before disclosure and lets unauthenticated remote attackers execute commands with root privileges on cloud and on-premises instances. CISA promptly added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and Cisco has directly contacted cloud customers with indicators of compromise while deploying mitigations. Rapid7 and VulnCheck warn compromised gateways could enable silent email monitoring and internal pivoting from on-premises deployments.

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.
