CISA Warns of Fortinet Heap-based Buffer Overflow Flaw Exploited in Attacks

CISA added actively exploited Fortinet CVE-2025-25249, a critical heap-based buffer overflow in FortiOS, FortiSwitchManager, and FortiSASE, to its KEV catalog.

CVE-2025-25249 is a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122/CWE-787) allowing unauthorized code execution by sending specially crafted packets. CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on September 9, 2026, with a September 12 remediation deadline for federal agencies under BOD 26-04 and mandatory forensic triage of affected environments. Internet-facing Fortinet firewalls and SASE platforms are a likely foothold for credential theft, persistence, and lateral movement; ransomware use is currently listed as unknown.

Google Chrome 153 Released With 230 Security Fixes and Zero-Day Exploited in the Wild

Google released Chrome 153 with 230 security fixes, patching CVE-2026-87491, a V8 out-of-bounds write zero-day actively exploited in the wild.

Google shipped Chrome 153 (153.0.8010.36/.37) for Windows, macOS, and Linux with 230 security fixes, including CVE-2026-87491, a medium-severity V8 out-of-bounds write being exploited in the wild. The release also fixes five critical vulnerabilities: four in WebGL (two use-after-frees, an out-of-bounds write, a buffer overflow) and one use-after-free in Cast. High-severity V8 use-after-free and type-confusion defects are among the fixes, and Google has restricted technical details until most users are patched. Administrators should verify deployed versions on managed endpoints, as Chrome-derived browsers may follow different patch schedules.

Microsoft Shatters Patch Tuesday Record With 974 CVE Fixes in September 2026

Microsoft's September 2026 Patch Tuesday fixes a record 974 CVEs, including two actively exploited Windows zero-days, CVE-2026-85880 and CVE-2026-81963.

Microsoft fixed a record 974 CVEs in its September 2026 Patch Tuesday, surpassing the previous record of 570 in July 2026, with Windows affected by 723 flaws and Office by 111, including 119 critical vulnerabilities. Two zero-days are actively exploited: CVE-2026-85880, a 7.8 heap-based buffer overflow in Windows ALPC allowing AppContainer privilege escalation, and CVE-2026-81963, an improper link resolution flaw in the Windows Update Stack enabling local privilege escalation. Microsoft attributed the update surge partly to agentic AI tools used to discover zero-day vulnerabilities, and researchers highlighted critical RCE flaws in Windows DNS, DHCP and Deployment Services as priorities.
