ISC released BIND 9.20.29 patching 14 flaws, including two DNSSEC validation bypasses enabling cache poisoning and multiple denial-of-service bugs.

Internet Systems Consortium shipped BIND 9.20.29 (and 9.21.26) fixing 14 vulnerabilities affecting recursive and DNSSEC-validating resolvers. Key flaws include CVE-2026-77119 (CVSS 5.9), which lets injected NSEC3 records from sibling zones make forged answers appear validated, and CVE-2026-19941, enabling forged DNSSEC-validated NXDOMAIN responses. DoS issues include CVE-2026-19668 (CVSS 5.3, CPU exhaustion via crafted DS/DNSKEY key tags) and cache bloat bugs CVE-2026-81736 and CVE-2026-81563; CVE-2026-1903 fixes partially unsigned TSIG zone transfers and CVE-2026-78301 fixes out-of-zone record serving. ISC reports no active exploitation and says CVE-2026-19668 and CVE-2026-77119 have no workarounds, so upgrading is the only reliable mitigation.

Differential Trust: Dynamic Multi-Authority Anonymous Credentials with Epoch-Weighted Updates

Researchers propose MA-ACEW, the first multi-authority anonymous credential model with epoch-weighted issuance and efficient cross-epoch credential updates.

The paper introduces MA-ACEW, a multi-authority anonymous credential scheme that weights authorities differently during credential issuance, targeting decentralized systems such as Proof-of-Stake networks. Its core primitive, Epoch-Bound Pointcheval-Sanders Signatures (EB-PS), binds signatures to time epochs, enabling non-interactive credential updates when authority weight distributions change. The authors formalize EUF-eCMA unforgeability and prove unforgeability, anonymity, and blindness under a novel STB-GPS assumption. Aggregating a credential from 128 partial credentials takes about 10.68 ms on average.

U.S. CISA adds Acronis Backup, Cisco ISE, and Google Pixel flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog

CISA added actively exploited flaws in Cisco ISE, Acronis Backup, and Google Pixel (CVE-2026-76460, CVE-2026-87886, CVE-2026-58704) to its KEV catalog.

CISA added three actively exploited vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog: CVE-2026-76460 (CVSS 10.0), an unauthenticated API authentication bypass in Cisco Identity Services Engine that Cisco confirms is being actively exploited; CVE-2026-87886, a local privilege escalation in the Acronis Backup plugins for cPanel/WHM and Plesk exploited in limited targeted attacks; and CVE-2026-58704 (CVSS 8.8), a Google Pixel cellular modem permission bypass exploited in limited, targeted attacks and patched in the September 2026 Pixel update. Under BOD 22-01, federal agencies must remediate KEV entries by the stated due dates. Google has not attributed the Pixel exploitation to any actor.

CISA decides weekly vulnerability bulletin isn't necessary anymore

CISA will discontinue its weekly vulnerability bulletin on September 28, pushing users toward KEV, alerts, and CVE data under risk-based prioritization.

CISA announced its weekly vulnerability bulletin will stop on Monday, September 28, as part of a shift from static CVSS severity scores to a modern, risk-based approach detailed in a June Binding Operational Directive. The directive prioritizes federal remediation based on exposure, exploitation evidence, control granted by exploitation, and whether exploitation can be automated. CISA directs bulletin subscribers to rely instead on its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, cybersecurity alerts and advisories, and the CVE catalog, requiring users to enable those subscriptions in GovDelivery or Granicus to avoid missing critical notices.

AI agent authorization risks remain a gap in new NIST-CISA token security guidance

NIST and CISA release IR 8587 guidance on securing signed tokens, but AI agent authorization and delegation risks remain out of scope.

NIST, with CISA support, published 'Protecting Tokens and Assertions from Forgery, Theft, and Misuse' (NIST IR 8587), recommending continuous monitoring and tighter token lifecycle controls for SSO and API access. The guidance does not yet fully address AI agent identity, delegation chains, or prompt injection steering agents with valid tokens, and NIST says new or expanded standards are needed. Experts recommend treating AI agents as low-trust non-human identities, maintaining agent inventories, expiring credentials after task completion, and requiring human approval for high-risk actions. The report references shared-signal mechanisms like CAEP and RISC, and follows a May incident where a CISA contractor GitHub repository exposed AWS and GitHub tokens.

CISA Warns of Critical ScreenConnect Vulnerability Actively Exploited in Attacks

CISA added actively exploited ConnectWise ScreenConnect flaw CVE-2026-84869 to the KEV catalog, setting a September 14 patch deadline.

CISA added CVE-2026-84869, a critical improper privilege management and missing authorization flaw (CWE-269, CWE-862) in ConnectWise ScreenConnect, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog on September 11, 2026, confirming active exploitation. The flaw lets attackers transfer files to a device and execute them during an active remote ScreenConnect session without authorization or host-user confirmation, enabling payload delivery, unauthorized tools, and persistence while blending into legitimate remote-management traffic. CISA set a September 14 remediation deadline under BOD 26-04 and flagged the vulnerability as requiring forensic triage. ConnectWise has published a security bulletin, and defenders are urged to review exposure, sessions, file-transfer records, and outbound connections.
