Two Unitree G1 EDU Humanoid Robot Flaws Enable Root RCE, One Starts Over Bluetooth
Researcher disclosed two root RCE chains in Unitree G1 EDU robots (CVE-2026-76639, CVE-2026-76640), one reachable via unpaired Bluetooth, with no confirmed fixed firmware.
Security researcher Olivier Laflamme disclosed two independent root remote code execution chains in the Unitree G1 EDU robot: CVE-2026-76639, a network-adjacent path through chat_go and bashrunner, and CVE-2026-76640, a Bluetooth Low Energy path that ends with a 1,050-byte buffer overflow in btgatt-server giving root on the Locomotion PC. The BLE chain also exploits a cloud authorization gap that let any valid Unitree account recover another robot's AES key, then forces the robot onto an attacker hotspot via wpa_connect.sh heredoc injection. Unitree patched the cloud ownership check in July 2026, but no confirmed fixed firmware release addresses the BLE issues; the PoC was limited to two robots in one room and no in-the-wild exploitation is reported.

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.

Apple Updates Everything, (Mon, Sep 14th)
Apple patched a record 261 vulnerabilities across iOS 27, macOS Golden Gate 27, watchOS 27, and other platforms, with none flagged as exploited.
Apple's annual OS update shipped iOS/iPadOS 27, macOS Golden Gate 27, tvOS 27, watchOS 27, and visionOS 27 plus bug-fix releases for the 26 and 15 branches, fixing a record 261 vulnerabilities. Notable issues include multiple kernel flaws allowing root privilege escalation (CVE-2026-43689, CVE-2026-43691, CVE-2026-43698, CVE-2026-43786), remote code execution in CUPS (CVE-2026-43692), kernel memory corruption via malicious NFS servers (CVE-2026-43686, CVE-2026-43687), and WebKit memory corruption from crafted web content (CVE-2026-43715). No vulnerabilities are labeled as actively exploited, and Apple does not assign per-CVE severities. Users report iOS 26.7 being downloaded when iOS 27 is intended, and tools like Little Snitch and BlockBlock need updates before upgrading to macOS 27.
