CVE-2026-34908: Ubiquiti Networks UniFi OS Server access control ...

CVE-2026-34908, a CVSS 10.0 access-control bypass in Ubiquiti UniFi OS, was added to CISA's KEV catalog amid reported active exploitation.

CISA added CVE-2026-34908 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on June 23, 2026, with remediation due June 26 under BOD 26-04 guidance. The CVSS 10.0 improper access control flaw (CWE-284) in Ubiquiti UniFi OS allows unauthorized system changes without authentication. Multiple news reports referenced by the page describe the max-severity UniFi flaws being exploited in attacks, and an official patch is available.

Cisco FMC flaws exploited by ransomware gang, state-sponsored hackers

Cisco Talos confirms ransomware and state-sponsored groups exploited CVE-2026-20079 and CVE-2026-20316 in Secure Firewall Management Center, deploying Qilin ransomware and Cyclops Blink.

Cisco Talos identified three threat clusters (UAT-12197, UAT-11823, UAT-11988) exploiting CVE-2026-20079, a CVSS 10.0 authentication bypass, and CVE-2026-20316, a CVSS 5.3 static-credential flaw, in Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center. Qilin affiliates used static credentials for reconnaissance and deployed Qilin ransomware; a Sandworm-linked cluster deployed a Cyclops Blink backdoor via a malicious license.tmp file; a third cluster stole credentials through a JSP web shell. Cisco has released hotfixes and urges immediate installation, with broader patches expected next week.

Acronis warns of actively exploited flaw in its cPanel backup plugin

Acronis reports CVE-2026-87886, a CVSS 7.8 Linux privilege escalation in its cPanel/WHM and Plesk backup plugins, exploited in limited targeted attacks.

CVE-2026-87886 is a high-severity local privilege escalation flaw in Acronis Backup plugin for cPanel & WHM (fixed in 1.9.3 HF3) and the Plesk extension (fixed in 1.8.11). A low-privileged attacker can elevate permissions on a vulnerable Linux server to access or modify sensitive data without user interaction. Acronis says it detected exploitation in the wild in limited, targeted attacks based on a single customer report, with no IOCs published yet.

Artifactory flaws chained in attacks deploying backdoor malware

Attackers chain JFrog Artifactory flaws CVE-2026-42018 and CVE-2026-42016 to gain admin tokens and deploy a Rust backdoor on self-hosted servers.

Wiz observed multiple threat actors chaining CVE-2026-42018 and CVE-2026-42016 against self-hosted JFrog Artifactory instances between August 15 and September 8, 2026, in some cases obtaining admin access in under five minutes. The critical authentication bypass CVE-2026-82329 was also exploited this month to mint administrator tokens. Attackers installed malicious Groovy plugins, dropped a Rust backdoor with C2 capabilities, uploaded webshells, stole configuration data and cluster join keys, and added SSH keys to new accounts. Wiz estimates 49-62% of internet-reachable Artifactory instances are vulnerable to at least one of the three flaws, and patched releases from 7.111.21 through 7.161.20 are available.

CVE-2026-34486: Apache Software Foundation Apache Tomcat

CISA added CVE-2026-34486, an actively exploited Apache Tomcat EncryptInterceptor bypass enabling unauthenticated deserialization RCE, to its KEV catalog.

CVE-2026-34486 allows bypass of Apache Tomcat's EncryptInterceptor, a flaw introduced by the fix for padding-oracle issue CVE-2026-29146 in Tribes cluster encryption. CISA added the flaw to the Known Exploited Vulnerability catalog on August 4, 2026, alongside actively exploited Langflow and N-central flaws, with remediation required under BOD 26-04 guidance. Official patches and workarounds are available, and reporting notes unauthenticated remote code execution through Java deserialization on the Tribes receiver port 4000.

Magento StyleSmuggler zero-day exploited to deploy Linux backdoor

StyleSmuggler zero-day in Magento and Adobe Commerce is actively exploited in the wild to deploy a Rust-based Linux backdoor; fix not yet released.

A zero-day dubbed StyleSmuggler affecting all versions of Magento and Adobe Commerce is being actively exploited, with the first observed incident on September 4 on a fully patched site. The exploit injects PHP code via Magento's template system through a fake 'failed-payment' email to achieve code execution, installing a Rust-based backdoor disguised as kworker/u:8:0 or fc-cache with a 30-minute cron job for persistence. The backdoor communicates via TLS/WebSockets or UDP port 123 masquerading as NTP traffic, checks TracerPid to detect tracing, and can receive remote commands. Adobe confirmed it is working on a fix with no timeline; Sansec recommends disabling GraphQL as mitigation and monitoring for suspicious cron entries and kworker or fc-cache processes. Magento is installed on more than 160,000 websites, including 14,000 of the top 1 million sites.
