Cisco patches Secure Email Gateway zero-day exploited in attacks

Cisco patches actively exploited Secure Email Gateway zero-day CVE-2026-76461 enabling unauthenticated root command execution; CISA adds it to KEV.

Cisco disclosed that a critical zero-day (CVE-2026-76461) in the email parsing logic of AsyncOS for Secure Email Gateway is being actively exploited, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL statements that lead to root-level command execution on virtual and physical appliances. CISA added the flaw to its KEV catalog and ordered federal agencies to patch within three days, by September 17. Cisco also patched four other critical SEG/SEWM vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-76440, CVE-2026-76441, CVE-2026-20353, CVE-2026-76443) with no evidence of exploitation, and shared IOCs including suspicious SQL statements in mail_logs.

Android 0-day Vulnerability on Google Pixel Devices Actively Exploited in Attacks

Google patched CVE-2026-58704, an actively exploited Android zero-day allowing proximal privilege escalation via the Pixel cellular modem, urging the 2026-09-05 patch.

Google confirmed CVE-2026-58704, a high-severity elevation-of-privilege flaw in the Pixel cellular modem, is being exploited in limited, targeted attacks and shipped emergency fixes in the September 2026 Pixel Update Bulletin. The low-complexity bug requires no user interaction and enables proximal/adjacent privilege escalation with no additional execution privileges, phrasing Google has historically used for spyware-vendor and state-aligned zero-days. The Pixel bulletin patches 110 flaws including 12 critical RCEs, while the broader September Android update addressed roughly 180 vulnerabilities, including Wi-Fi memory-corruption bug CVE-2026-28662.

Enterprises Warned of Attacks Exploiting WSO2 Vulnerability

Attackers are actively exploiting CVE-2026-5430 (CVSS 10), a WSO2 JWT authentication bypass, to access enterprise API credentials and sensitive data.

WatchTowr's honeypot network recorded the first exploitation attempt of CVE-2026-5430 on September 13, roughly two months after the CVE record was published in early August. The flaw, patched by WSO2 in April with an advisory in May, carries a maximum CVSS score of 10 and allows JWT authentication bypass via tokens signed with unsupported algorithms, enabling unauthorized access and full account takeover. A forged JWT observed in the wild granted access to API backend endpoints, credentials, and consumer keys and secrets for every registered application. WSO2's API Manager, API Control Plane, Traffic Manager, and Universal Gateway are affected, and the platform serves nearly 1,000 enterprise customers in banking, government, telecom, and logistics.
