PHP Webshell Campaign Targets WordPress Through Critical WooCommerce Plugin Bug

Wordfence blocked over 100,000 exploitation attempts against CVE-2026-27540 in WooCommerce Wholesale Lead Capture, letting attackers upload PHP webshells to WordPress sites.

Wordfence reported more than 100,000 blocked exploitation attempts against CVE-2026-27540 in the WooCommerce Wholesale Lead Capture plugin (roughly 6,000 active installs), which was disclosed and patched on February 20 in version 2.0.3.2. The unauthenticated AJAX handler wwlc_file_upload_handler reads permitted file extensions from the attacker-controlled request, enabling arbitrary file upload of PHP files such as shell.php that report host details and serve further upload forms. Attack activity peaked between June 4 and June 17, 2026, with additional waves on July 1 and August 30. Wordfence rates the flaw CVSS 9.8, while Patchstack's CVE record lists 9.0.

Cisco Warns of Active Exploitation of Critical ISE Flaw

Cisco warns that CVE-2026-76460 (CVSS 10.0) in Identity Services Engine is actively exploited, enabling unauthenticated root access; CISA added it to KEV.

Cisco disclosed CVE-2026-76460, a CVSS 10.0 flaw caused by insufficient control of an API endpoint in Cisco ISE and ISE-PIC, allowing crafted requests to bypass the web-based management interface and potentially obtain root command execution. Active exploitation is confirmed; patches are available and no workarounds exist, though infrastructure access control lists can restrict management traffic as an interim measure. CISA added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, requiring FCEB agencies to prioritize patching. Cisco urges checking access.log on every node, reimaging suspected compromised nodes, and reviewing external firewall logs for unexpected uploads.

TP-Link Cameras 0-Day Vulnerabilities Allow Attackers to Spy on Users

Two zero-day flaws in TP-Link Tapo C200 cameras allowed authentication bypass and denial-of-service; fixed in firmware V5_1.4.6.

OPSWAT researchers Khoi Tran and Thai Do found CVE-2026-15315, an authentication bypass in the Tapo C200's local HTTPS interface that lets network-adjacent attackers replay an authentication value to gain administrator access, and CVE-2026-15316, an unauthenticated denial-of-service in the Wi-Fi onboarding process that crashes the camera's HTTPS service. TP-Link was notified on April 16, 2026, confirmed the flaws on July 10, and released patches on August 18, 2026 in firmware V5_1.4.6. Exploitation requires local network access but no valid account, existing session, or user interaction, exposing live feeds and stored recordings to surveillance risk.
