Apache Superset SQL Injection Flaw Gets Public PoC Exploit
A public Python proof-of-concept exploit was released for CVE-2026-23980, an authenticated error-based SQL injection flaw in Apache Superset before 6.0.0.
A public proof-of-concept exploit repository now targets CVE-2026-23980, an error-based SQL injection affecting Apache Superset versions from 0.0.0 up to but not including 6.0.0. An authenticated user with read access can inject SQL through the sqlExpression or where parameters, potentially reaching business, customer, and security data depending on database configuration and privileges. Apache disclosed the flaw in February and urges upgrading to Superset 6.0.0; compensating controls include least-privilege database accounts, network restrictions, and log monitoring.
Human Attacker Exploits Marimo RCE, Reaches SSH Bastion in Eight Seconds
Sysdig documents a skilled human attacker exploiting Marimo pre-auth RCE CVE-2026-39987 (CVSS 9.3), reaching an SSH bastion in eight seconds without AI tooling.
Sysdig detailed exploitation of CVE-2026-39987 (CVSS 9.3), a pre-authenticated RCE affecting all Marimo versions that came under active exploitation within hours of disclosure. A human operator used a hand-written Python script to harvest an AWS key from Secrets Manager and SSH into a bastion host in eight seconds, issuing 850+ commands over nine hours. Separately, Hunt.io disclosed an XMRig cryptomining campaign compromising 3,562 Redis servers via SLAVEOF rogue replication and AOF authorized_keys injection. Operation CameraSwarm, linked to a single operator, compromised over 14,000 Dahua IP cameras using CVE-2021-33044 and CVE-2021-33045.
ConnectWise Patches ScreenConnect Vulnerability Exploited in Worm-Like Attacks
ConnectWise patched critical ScreenConnect flaw CVE-2026-84869 (CVSS 9.9) exploited since August 20 in worm-like attacks; CISA added it to KEV.
ConnectWise released urgent patches for CVE-2026-84869 (CVSS 9.9), a missing authorization and improper privilege management flaw in ScreenConnect allowing file transfer and execution through active remote sessions without host confirmation. Huntress reported in-the-wild exploitation since August 20, with attackers using rogue ScreenConnect clients to push four VBScript files for persistence and worm-like propagation to other ScreenConnect clients. The flaw is fixed in ScreenConnect 26.6.5, with disabling the TransferFiles permission as a temporary mitigation. CISA added the CVE to its KEV catalog, requiring federal agencies to patch within three days under BOD 26-04.
CISA Adds Three Known Exploited Vulnerabilities to Catalog
CISA added three actively exploited vulnerabilities — two JFrog Artifactory and one ConnectWise ScreenConnect — to its KEV Catalog.
CISA added CVE-2026-42016 (JFrog Artifactory incorrect authorization), CVE-2026-42018 (JFrog Artifactory improper authentication), and CVE-2026-84869 (ConnectWise ScreenConnect improper privilege management and missing authorization) to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog based on evidence of active exploitation. BOD 26-04 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies to prioritize rapid remediation of such high-risk vulnerabilities on publicly exposed assets and to check for prior compromise. CISA urges all organizations to adopt risk-based vulnerability management and prioritize KEV remediation.
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.
Chrome 153 Patches Seventh Zero-Day of 2026
Google patches Chrome V8 zero-day CVE-2026-87491, exploited in the wild, marking the seventh exploited Chrome zero-day of 2026, in an update fixing 230 flaws.
Google released Chrome 153 with fixes for 230 vulnerabilities, including CVE-2026-87491, a medium-severity out-of-bounds write in the V8 JavaScript and WebAssembly engine that Google says is being exploited in the wild. It is the seventh zero-day patched in Chrome in 2026, following CVE-2026-2441, CVE-2026-3909, CVE-2026-3910, CVE-2026-5281, CVE-2026-11645 and CVE-2026-85046. The update also fixes five critical bugs (four in WebGL, one in Cast), 41 high-severity defects, and more than 180 medium/low issues, rolling out as 153.0.8010.36/.37 for Windows/macOS and 153.0.8010.36 for Linux.
