Windows 11 Security Update KB5124008 Breaks Always-On VPN Connections

Microsoft's September 2026 Windows 11 update KB5124008 breaks certificate-based Always On VPN on some enterprise clients, forcing admins to pause rollout.

Microsoft's September 8, 2026 cumulative update KB5124008 for Windows 11 24H2 (build 26100.9445) and 25H2 (build 26200.9445) breaks certificate-based Always On VPN tunnels on some enterprise clients, with connectivity restored after uninstalling the update and rebooting. The issue was first detailed on Microsoft Q&A on September 9 by an administrator using Intune-deployed VPN profiles with RRAS and NPS on Windows Server 2019. The same mandatory Patch Tuesday package fixes two actively exploited zero-days, CVE-2026-81963 in the Windows Update Stack and CVE-2026-85880 in Windows Advanced Local Procedure Call, so many teams are pausing only VPN cohorts rather than blocking the full rollout.

CVE-2026-59969: Apache ZooKeeper: Improper validation of certificate with host mismatch in FIPS mode

CVE-2026-59969: Apache ZooKeeper quorum TLS skips peer hostname verification in FIPS-mode deployments, enabling potential server-to-server impersonation.

Apache ZooKeeper versions 3.8.0-3.8.6 and 3.9.0-3.9.5 fail to enforce peer hostname verification for quorum TLS when FIPS mode is enabled with sslQuorum, zookeeper.fips-mode, and hostname verification settings turned on. The flaw is rated important and could allow an attacker to impersonate a quorum peer via certificate host mismatch. Users should upgrade to fixed versions.

Re: Retrospective by 'gpg.fail' authors

Unreported 0-day RCE in gpgsm 2.4.9 disclosed via gpg.fail talk, triggered by importing a malicious certificate with --debug options.

A retrospective by the gpg.fail authors revealed a remote code execution vulnerability in gpgsm 2.4.9, triggered when invoked as "gpgsm --debug all --import" with a malicious certificate file. The researchers did not report the issue to GnuPG, leaving it unpatched as an apparent 0-day. Exposure appears limited since it requires importing untrusted certificates with debug options enabled.

Dutch NCSC: Critical Check Point VPN flaws exploitation is imminent

Dutch NCSC warns exploitation is imminent for critical Check Point VPN RCE flaws CVE-2026-85102 and CVE-2026-85103, urging immediate patching of Security Gateways.

The Dutch NCSC assesses the likelihood and impact of exploitation as high for two critical Check Point VPN flaws, though no public PoC exploit has been reported. CVE-2026-85102 is improper validation of certificate data during VPN negotiation, and CVE-2026-85103 is a heap overflow in the VPN certificate ASN.1 decoder; both enable remote code execution on Security Gateways, the latter also on Security Management Servers. Affected releases span R81.20, R82, R82.10, R81.10.x, R82.00.x and EoS versions R80 through R81.10, while R82.20 is unaffected. Check Point shipped fixes on September 9 via LivePatch Take 24 and Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator takes, and NCSC advises restricting Site-to-Site VPN rules to trusted IPs.

Microsoft Releases Emergency Windows 11 Update Following Patch Tuesday Bugs

Microsoft issued emergency Windows 11 update KB5129195 to fix Patch Tuesday regressions and fully close the CVE-2026-62721 privilege escalation flaw.

Microsoft shipped out-of-band cumulative update KB5129195 for Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 (builds 26100.9457 and 26200.9457) after the September 8 Patch Tuesday rollup, which addressed over 960 CVEs including two actively exploited flaws, broke Remote Desktop Services, Hyper-V Plan9 folder sharing, and USB audio. The emergency release also strengthens the incomplete fix for CVE-2026-62721, an elevation-of-privilege flaw in the Windows User-Mode Power Service that could let a local attacker gain SYSTEM privileges. Companion patches cover Windows 11 26H1, Windows 10, and Windows Server. Some USB Audio Class 1.0 and AMD Radeon graphics issues remain unresolved.

We got admin access to Baseten's production GitHub in 25 minutes

Strix autonomous hacking agent extracted a working GitHub token with repo admin rights from Baseten's public Harbor image; Baseten rotated it next day.

Strix, an autonomous hacking agent, scanned *.baseten.co without credentials and found a public Harbor container registry project anonymously exposing the baseten/baseten-app image. A GitHub personal access token for basetenbot, embedded in Docker build history since March 2023, still worked in July 2026 and granted admin/push rights to basetenlabs/baseten, flux-cd, and homebrew-tap plus read/write on private customer repos. Baseten, valued at $13 billion, confirmed the issue as critical and rotated the token within a day.
