CISA Warns of Chromium Type Confusion 0-Day Vulnerability Actively Exploited in Attacks
CISA added the actively exploited Chromium V8 type confusion zero-day CVE-2026-85046 to its KEV catalog, urging patching of Chrome, Edge, and Opera.
CISA added CVE-2026-85046, a V8 type confusion flaw (CWE-843) in Chromium-based browsers, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. A remote attacker can trigger arbitrary code execution inside the browser sandbox via a specially crafted HTML page. Google Chrome is directly affected, and Microsoft Edge, Opera, and other Chromium-based browsers may also be impacted depending on their V8 version. Google has released a Stable channel Chrome update, and CISA directs mitigations under Binding Operational Directive 26-04.

Rogue ScreenConnect Installations Across Unrelated Hosts Suggest Worm-Like Activity
Huntress observed rogue ScreenConnect deployments with worm-like VBScript propagation across unrelated organizations, prompting a ConnectWise advisory on file transfer behavior.
Huntress identified multiple incidents in late August 2026 where social engineering led to rogue ScreenConnect remote access clients deployed on victim machines, which then spawned wscript.exe to run four VBScript payloads (1.vbs through 4.vbs) for profiling, telemetry collection, and persistence via a WindowsServiceHost Run key. Modified ScreenConnect clients propagated the VBScript chain to connected endpoints, creating worm-like spread. ConnectWise published an advisory on September 3, 2026, confirming an issue affecting file transfer behavior in both cloud and on-premises ScreenConnect deployments, with a CVE and fix expected within the week; partners were advised to review and disable TransferFiles permissions in the interim.
