WeChat Worm Can Hijack Accounts Without Victims Answering Calls
Researchers demoed WeWorm, a zero-click WeChat worm hijacking accounts via incoming VoIP calls using a memory corruption flaw; Tencent patched it in August.
Researchers at Calif exploited a memory corruption bug in WeChat's VoIP system, taking over accounts through an incoming call even if the victim never answers or touches the phone. The attacker must already be a WeChat contact, but compromising a friend's account bypasses this, and chained calls spread the worm across three Android and iOS test phones in seconds. Tencent fixed the flaw in Android 8.0.77 and iOS 8.0.76 released in August, and researchers found no evidence of real-world exploitation. WeChat and Weixin reported 1.418 billion combined monthly active users at the end of 2025.

U.S. CISA adds TrueConf Server flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog
CISA added two exploited TrueConf Server flaws (CVE-2026-72529, CVE-2026-72530) to its KEV catalog with federal patch deadlines.
CISA added two TrueConf Server vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog: CVE-2026-72529 (CVSS 9.3), a missing-authentication remote code execution flaw reachable on TCP port 4307, and CVE-2026-72530 (CVSS 9.5), a sandbox escape allowing code execution on the underlying host. Both flaws affect TrueConf Server versions 5.3.x through 5.5.5 and earlier, and were discovered by Vyacheslav Kopeytsev of Kaspersky ICS CERT. Under BOD 22-01, federal civilian agencies must patch CVE-2026-72529 by August 23, 2026, and CVE-2026-72530 by September 2, 2026.

Microsoft discloses two actively exploited zero-days among 974 vulnerabilities
Microsoft patches 974 flaws in record Patch Tuesday, including two actively exploited Windows zero-days enabling privilege escalation.
Microsoft's largest-ever Patch Tuesday addresses 974 vulnerabilities, with CVE-2026-81963 (Windows Update Stack) and CVE-2026-85880 (Windows Advanced Local Procedure Call) exploited before disclosure. Both zero-days carry CVSS 7.8 ratings and allow privilege escalation. More than 10% of the defects are rated critical, and researchers attribute the record volume to AI-assisted vulnerability discovery without a matching rise in active exploitation.
