Parallels Desktop Flaw Lets Non-Admin Mac Users Gain Root, but Intel Macs Can't Install Fix

JFrog disclosed CVE-2026-90894, a 7.8-rated local privilege escalation in Parallels Desktop for Mac, patched only in version 27, which Intel Macs cannot install.

JFrog researcher Yuval Moravchick disclosed CVE-2026-90894 (dubbed ParaShells, CVSS 7.8), a local privilege escalation in Parallels Desktop for Mac that lets non-admin users run code as root. The root-level prl_disp_service listens on a world-writable socket, and argument injection into a tar command via QProcess::splitCommand and the --use-compress-program option yields code execution as root, demonstrated on Parallels Desktop 26.4.0 build 57513 on Apple silicon. The fix appears in version 27.0.0, but Parallels Desktop 27 requires Apple silicon, leaving Intel Macs on the 26.x line with no build JFrog describes as fixed. No exploitation in the wild has been reported and Parallels has not published a statement.

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.

$1 Million Sandbox Challenge Uncovers Linux Kernel Flaws

Vercel's $1M sandbox challenge surfaced two Linux kernel networking defects—one leaking host kernel memory, one crashing hosts—with CVEs pending.

Vercel ran a two-week, $1 million sandbox escape challenge (Aug 18–Sep 1) on its Firecracker-based microVM sandbox, receiving 1,285 reports and committing ~$325k in payouts (1 Critical, 7 High, 15 Medium, 49 Low validated so far). No attacker accessed real customer data. The most important filing found two independent Linux kernel networking stack defects—one leaks host kernel memory, the other deterministically crashes the host—with wide implications for cloud providers isolating workloads via the same kernel layer. Fixes are under private review with CVEs pending; Vercel also plans to open-source its agentic report-triage agent built on the Eve framework running Kimi K3.

Remote Desktop Services Failures on Windows Servers Following September Update

September 2026 Patch Tuesday updates cause Windows Server 2019/2022/2025 RDS sessions to freeze, forcing administrators to roll back.

Cumulative updates KB5122876 (Windows Server 2019), KB5122882 (2022), and KB5122871 (2025) trigger Remote Desktop Services freezes hours after boot, with RDP connections hanging at 'Connecting…' and Event ID 20498 logged. Administrators trace the fault to an apparent deadlock in RDPSERVERBASE!WDLIB_Close during session teardown; only hard resets restore service and the issue recurs. The same September release patched roughly 973 vulnerabilities, including two actively exploited zero-days (CVE-2026-81963, CVE-2026-85880, both in CISA's KEV) and a critical RDS RCE, CVE-2026-69525 (CVSS 9.8). Workarounds include DISM-based removal of the update or an unofficial FeatureManagement registry key disabling the suspected audio-redirection code path; Microsoft has not yet confirmed the bug.

FortiSandbox Vulnerability Allows Attackers to Access Sensitive Information via Crafted HTTP Requests

Fortinet disclosed CVE-2026-26084 (CVSS 8.9), an unauthenticated information-disclosure flaw in the FortiSandbox web UI, urging upgrades.

Fortinet patched CVE-2026-26084, a CWE-284 improper access control flaw in the shared web UI of FortiSandbox, FortiSandbox Cloud, and FortiSandbox PaaS that lets unauthenticated attackers read sensitive data via crafted HTTP requests. Affected releases include FortiSandbox 5.0.0-5.0.5 and 4.4.0-4.4.8, Cloud 5.0.4-5.0.5, and PaaS 5.0.4-5.0.5; fixes arrive in 5.0.6+ and 4.4.9+, while FortiSandbox 5.2 and Cloud 4.4 are unaffected. The issue was found internally by Fortinet's Product Security team, and the company reports no evidence of exploitation in the wild. Disclosure carries only confidentiality impact, but exposed sandbox configurations and logs could aid follow-on attacks.

FortiOS and FortiProxy ZTNA Validation Vulnerability Allows Attacker to Perform a Man-in-the-Middle Attack

Fortinet discloses high-severity certificate validation flaw CVE-2026-84393 in FortiOS and FortiProxy Agentless ZTNA portals enabling unauthenticated man-in-the-middle attacks.

Fortinet disclosed CVE-2026-84393 (CVSSv3 7.3, CWE-295) on September 8, 2026 under advisory FG-IR-26-174: improper certificate validation in the Agentless ZTNA portal of FortiOS and FortiProxy. An unauthenticated attacker on the network path could present a forged or mismatched certificate and intercept or tamper with traffic between the portal and backend destinations, with impact classified as information disclosure. Affected versions are FortiOS 7.6.1 through 7.6.6 and FortiProxy 7.6.2 through 7.6.6; the 8.0, 7.4 and 7.2 branches of both products are unaffected. Fortinet urges upgrading to 7.6.7 or later and reports no evidence of exploitation in the wild.

Jellyfin 12.0 Released With Security Fixes for Unauthorized File Access and XSS Flaws

Jellyfin 12.0 fixes unauthorized file access and web client XSS flaws, but requires careful upgrades due to breaking database migrations and plugin changes.

The open-source media server release prevents crafted requests from reading files outside designated directories, blocks unauthorized re-runs of the setup wizard, rejects plugin packages with unsafe names, strengthens parental control enforcement, and fixes cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in browser-based administration and media access workflows. Upgrades require a manual backup because the database schema migration is irreversible; supported paths start from version 10.10.7 or 10.11.x, and duplicate case-insensitive usernames will break migration. The release also retires legacy /emby/ and /mediabrowser/ routes, disables deprecated authentication by default, and targets .NET 10, requiring plugin rebuilds.

WeChat Zero-Click Worm Took Over Accounts on iPhone and Android via Incoming Calls

Researchers demonstrated a zero-click WeChat worm that hijacked accounts via incoming calls; Tencent blocked the exploit server-side after July disclosure, no real attacks reported.

Security firm Calif built a worm that seized WeChat accounts via incoming calls without any target interaction, demonstrating it spreading across three test phones (Android to iPhone to Android). Once exploited, the attacker gains full control of the WeChat account, including messages, calls, payments, and mini programs, though not the phone itself. Tencent mitigated the flaw server-side, confirmed blocked on 28 August, shipping WeChat 8.0.77 for Android and 8.0.76 for iOS on 21 August. No CVE has been assigned, Tencent published no advisory, and no attacks in the wild have been reported; WeChat/Weixin counts 1.439 billion monthly active users.
