Cloudflare Workers Spectre Attack Leaks JWT From Co
Researchers demonstrated a remote Spectre attack leaking a JWT between co-located Cloudflare Workers at 12 bits per second, 360x the 2021 rate.
Security researchers showed a remote Spectre attack against Cloudflare Workers that leaked a JWT from a co-located Worker at up to 12 bits per second with 99.16% accuracy, 360 times the 2021 demonstration rate. The attack exploited weaknesses in DyPrIs dynamic process isolation, where long-lived Durable Object invocations could run before isolation and WebSocket-heavy I/O suppressed the branch-misprediction signal. Cloudflare deployed improved DyPrIs, the V8 Sandbox, and MPK-based in-process isolation, and found no indicators of active exploitation over three years.
CVE-2026-87785: Apache Syncope: JWT subject spoofing
Apache Syncope disclosed low-severity CVE-2026-87785, a JWT subject spoofing flaw enabling authentication bypass in affected syncope-core-spring versions.
CVE-2026-87785 is a low-severity authentication bypass by spoofing vulnerability in Apache Syncope related to the configured JWKS settings for internal JWT authentication. Affected versions are syncope-core-spring 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, 4.0.0-M0 through 4.0.7, and 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.2.
CVE-2026-78330: Apache Syncope: Privilege escalation for admin user via JWT authentication
Apache Syncope allows privilege escalation for an admin user via misconfigured internal JWT JWKS authentication settings, versions through 4.1.2.
CVE-2026-78330 is a moderate-severity incorrect privilege assignment vulnerability in Apache Syncope's syncope-core-spring module. When the configured JWKS settings for internal JWT authentication are misconfigured, an admin user can escalate privileges.

CVE-2026-76187: Apache Airflow Keycloak provider: Any realm client's credentials mint an Airflow session JWT
Apache Airflow Keycloak provider before 0.10.0 lets any confidential client's credentials in the realm mint an Airflow session JWT.
CVE-2026-76187 affects apache-airflow-providers-keycloak before 0.10.0. The unauthenticated token endpoint accepts a client-credentials grant for any confidential client registered in the Keycloak realm, not only the client configured for Airflow. No allowlist restricts which client ids may authenticate, so credentials of an unrelated application can obtain an Airflow session JWT. Severity is rated moderate.
CVE-2026-87802: Apache Syncope: SRA OAuth2 JWT signature verification bypass
Low-severity CVE-2026-87802 in Apache Syncope SRA allows JWT signature forgery in OAuth 2.0 setups without JWKS URI.

Rapid7 and Microsoft disclosed CVE-2026-55040, an authentication bypass in Microsoft SharePoint, on July 14, 2026. The flaw stems from multiple issues in SharePoint's JWT token validation pipeline, allowing a remote unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication and perform operations as a site user or administrator. Rapid7 has now published a technical analysis and a proof-of-concept script, based on SharePoint Server Subscription Edition.
Apache Syncope Vulnerabilities Allow Attackers to Execute Malicious Code and Bypass Controls
Apache Syncope fixed three flaws enabling SQL injection, Groovy sandbox escape, and JWT token theft to impersonate higher-privileged users.
Apache Syncope, an open-source identity management and access governance platform, disclosed CVE-2026-82232, a stacked-query SQL injection in the Task search sort parameter; CVE-2026-77147, a Groovy sandbox escape via malicious Command classes; and CVE-2026-73178, retrieval of signed JWT access tokens via REST enabling impersonation of more privileged users. All three flaws require administrator-level entitlements to exploit and affect Syncope 3.0, 4.0, and 4.1 releases. Fixes shipped in versions 4.0.8 and 4.1.3, with researchers Alon Galili and n0mi1k credited.
CVE-2026-82310: Apache Airflow FAB provider: FAB auth manager: deactivated users retain and renew Core API JWT access
Apache Airflow FAB provider 2.0.0-3.8.x lets deactivated users keep unexpired Core API JWTs and mint replacements indefinitely.
CVE-2026-82310 affects apache-airflow-providers-fab versions 2.0.0 before 3.9.0. Deactivating a user account does not stop tokens issued before deactivation. While password authentication correctly rejects the disabled account, the Core API continues to accept an existing unexpired token naming it and lets that token mint a replacement. Severity is rated moderate.
Critical WSO2 Vulnerability Allow Hackers to Gain Full Admin Access
WSO2 discloses CVE-2026-5430 (CVSS 10.0), an unauthenticated JWT authentication bypass allowing admin account takeover across its API management products.
WSO2 disclosed CVE-2026-5430, a critical authentication bypass (CVSS 10.0; 9.8 for single-tenant deployments) in advisory WSO2-2026-5328. The flaw stems from insecure JWT processing: tokens signed with unsupported algorithms bypass authentication checks, potentially granting unauthenticated attackers administrative access. Affected products include WSO2 API Control Plane 4.5.0-4.6.0, API Manager 4.1.0-4.6.0, Traffic Manager 4.5.0-4.6.0, and Universal Gateway 4.5.0-4.6.0. Fixes are available via update levels such as API Manager 4.6.0 update 21 or by migrating to unaffected releases.
Researchers Disclose AI-Assisted SharePoint Exploit Chain Reaching Unauthenticated RCE
Rapid7 disclosed CVE-2026-55040, a SharePoint JWT validation bypass chaining into CVE-2026-63520 unauthenticated RCE, with research substantially AI-agent-assisted; patches released.
Rapid7 disclosed CVE-2026-55040 (CVSS 9.1), several JWT validation pipeline issues letting unauthenticated attackers impersonate chosen SharePoint users by SID or UPN, chained with CVE-2026-63520 (CVSS 8.1), an unsafe .NET type instantiation in Business Connectivity Services yielding RCE as the service account. An AI agent contributed significantly across 96 sessions and roughly 80,000 tool calls over 24 active days, though an expert had to steer it and it repeatedly overstepped its threat model. No exploitation of the bypass had been reported as of CISA's July 14 assessment. The RCE affects SharePoint Subscription Edition, 2019, and 2016, plus Project Server 2013 SP1 and Office Web Apps 2013 SP1; the July updates break the chain.
Fortinet Patches Critical Vulnerabilities in FortiMonitorOnSight, Chrome Extension
Fortinet patched 10 vulnerabilities including two critical authentication flaws, CVE-2026-84390 (CVSS 9.6) and CVE-2026-84388 (CVSS 9.1), in FortiMonitorOnSight and the FortiPAM Chrome extension.
Fortinet's September patch release fixes CVE-2026-84390, a sensitive-information issue in the FortiMonitorOnSight web portal that lets unauthenticated attackers bypass authentication with forged or reused JWTs. CVE-2026-84388 is an improper authentication flaw in the Fortinet Privileged Access Agent Chrome extension that can allow attackers to proxy a user's browser traffic via a malicious website, requiring upgrades to both FortiPAM 1.9.1/1.8.4 and extension 8.0.1.123+. High-severity information disclosure in FortiSandbox (CVE-2026-26084) and man-in-the-middle risk in the FortiOS/FortiProxy Agentless ZTNA portal (CVE-2026-84393) were also fixed, alongside medium/low issues across FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, FortiSOAR, FortiClient, FortiSIEM and others. Fortinet did not indicate any of the flaws are being exploited in the wild.
FortiPAM Chrome Extension Vulnerability Lets Malicious Sites Control Browser Proxy and Record Tabs
Fortinet patched CVE-2026-84388 (CVSS 9.1) in its FortiPAM Chrome extension, letting malicious websites alter proxy settings, open tabs and record sessions.
The Fortinet FortiPAM Chrome extension flaw (CVE-2026-84388, CVSS 9.1) lets attacker-controlled domains be trusted as FortiPAM servers because a webRequest listener adds requested hostnames without verifying the initiator. A second issue exposes the extension's message interface to all URLs and accepts non-JWT tokens without validation, enabling unauthenticated session launches, proxy manipulation, tab control and recording; the consent dialog can also be bypassed via shadow-root clicks. Fortinet issued advisory FG-IR-26-168 after a July 17 report and released a fix on August 1, 2026, with no confirmed exploitation in the wild.
