Unauthenticated attackers exploit CVE-2026-89026 in Issabel PBX via forged JWT tokens to run OS commands; exploitation observed since September 9.

CVE-2026-89026 (CVSS v4 9.3) stems from a hard-coded HS256 JWT signing key in Issabel Framework's pbxapi/index.php, letting unauthenticated attackers forge bearer tokens and execute OS commands through the Asterisk Manager Interface originate endpoint. Issabel Framework versions before commit b97dbaf0b71c1c36f841e672b664afbeb02773bd are affected. Shadowserver Foundation first observed exploitation on September 9, 2026, and VulnCheck added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities database.

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.

Perfect-10 GitLab bug under attack days after patch lands

CISA confirms active exploitation of CVSS 10.0 GitLab path traversal flaw CVE-2026-85706 days after patches shipped, enabling unauthenticated arbitrary file reads.

CISA added CVE-2026-85706, a maximum-severity 10.0 CVSS path traversal flaw in GitLab's repository commits API, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog and confirmed active exploitation. The bug allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files, including configuration data and credentials, from self-managed GitLab CE/EE servers via a single HTTP POST request. GitLab shipped fixes on September 10 in versions 19.3.2, 19.2.6, and 19.1.8, covering versions 18.7 through 19.3. watchTowr is observing probes against internet-facing instances and warns widespread exploitation is likely to follow quickly.

Attackers Chain JFrog Artifactory Flaws to Gain Admin Control and Plant Backdoors

Attackers chained JFrog Artifactory flaws CVE-2026-42018 and CVE-2026-42016 for admin control, planting Rust backdoors; CVE-2026-82329 also mass-exploited.

Wiz observed attackers chaining CVE-2026-42018 (anonymous-token leak) and CVE-2026-42016 (token escalation) in self-hosted JFrog Artifactory between August 15 and September 8, gaining admin control, creating admin accounts, and installing malicious Groovy plugins and a custom Rust backdoor. Separately, critical authentication bypass CVE-2026-82329 (CVSS 9.8) was mass-exploited starting September 1, drawing ~406,000 exploitation attempts on September 2 per Fastly. CISA added CVE-2026-82329 to KEV on September 2 with a September 5 federal deadline. Patching does not revoke minted tokens or rotate stolen join keys; admins must review accounts and rotate credentials.

CISA: WatchGuard RCE flaw now exploited in ransomware attacks

CISA confirms ransomware gangs are exploiting critical unauthenticated RCE CVE-2025-14733 in WatchGuard Firebox firewalls, with roughly 9,000 devices still unpatched.

CVE-2025-14733 is an out-of-bounds write in WatchGuard Fireware OS allowing unauthenticated remote code execution, exploitable on firewalls configured for IKEv2 VPN and potentially even after the configuration was deleted if a static branch-office VPN peer remains. WatchGuard released patches in December and confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; Shadowserver found over 115,000 exposed Fireboxes at the time, with nearly 9,000 still unpatched after nine months. CISA added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog in December under BOD 22-01 and on Thursday confirmed ransomware gangs are now exploiting it, without providing campaign details. WatchGuard serves more than 250,000 small and mid-sized companies through 17,000+ security resellers and service providers.

CISA Warns of N-able N-central RCE Vulnerability Exploited in the Wild

CISA added CVE-2026-86218, a CVSS 10.0 unauthenticated RCE in N-able N-central RMM, to its KEV catalog; on-premises admins must patch to 2026.3.1.14.

CISA added CVE-2026-86218, a CVSS 10.0 static code injection (CWE-96) enabling unauthenticated RCE in N-able N-central, to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on September 8, 2026. The flaw affects all on-premises builds before 2026.3.1.14 across the 2025.4 through 2026.3 release lines; N-able shipped Hotfix 4 for 2026.3 on September 5-6, 2026. Huntress research indicates at least one customer's N-central instance was compromised on September 4, and federal civilian agencies must mitigate by September 11 under BOD 26-04. Hosted environments were patched server-side, but a compromised RMM server can serve as a single point of entry into entire MSP client bases.

N-able Patches Critical Zero-Day in N-central

N-able patches critical unauthenticated RCE zero-day CVE-2026-86218 in N-central, exploited in the wild; on-premises admins must apply hotfix 2026.3 HF4.

N-able released an urgent hotfix (2026.3 HF4) for CVE-2026-86218 (CVSS 10), an unauthenticated RCE in N-central exploited as a zero-day. Scanning/exploitation attempts observed from IP range 23.234.64.0/18 starting September 4; admins should check logs for scanning and unrecognized new accounts. The hotfix supersedes patches for CVE-2026-86206 and CVE-2026-86207, which Huntress observed potentially chained in the wild to bypass authentication in production environments.
