CVE-2026-86089: Apache NiFi: Missing Process Group Authorization for Connector Migration

Apache NiFi 2.11.0 Connector Migration REST APIs authorize only against the target Connector, skipping Process Group access checks (CVE-2026-86089, Low).

Apache NiFi 2.11.0 supports migrating version-controlled Process Group contents into a Connector via REST API methods that list eligible migration sources and submit migration requests. Both methods were authorized only against the target Connector, without evaluating user access to the involved Process Groups. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-86089, is rated Low severity and affects the nifi-web-api component.

Re: Retrospective by 'gpg.fail' authors

GnuPG's Werner Koch says gpg.fail samples only crash GnuPG via DER-as-printf format string in --debug x509; RCE claim remains unproven.

Werner Koch replied to the gpg.fail retrospective, noting that GnuPG versions above 2.2 produce garbled stderr or crash when the project's certificates are used with --debug x509 because DER data is passed as a printf format string. Testing the certificates from the researchers' Git repo yielded only a segfault, not demonstrated code execution. Koch states how remote code execution would be achieved is unclear and asks for a real reproducer.

Webinar: How malicious OAuth apps can lead to Google Workspace breaches

BleepingComputer webinar will dissect two Google Workspace breaches caused by malicious OAuth apps and social engineering, hosted September 23 with Material Security.

On September 23, 2026, BleepingComputer will host a webinar with Material Security examining two real attacks that used malicious OAuth applications and social engineering to breach Google Workspace environments. Rather than stealing credentials, attackers persuaded users to authorize malicious apps, gaining access to data through the granted permissions. The session covers first-hour response decisions and which security controls provide the greatest value for fast-growing organizations.

Hackers Stole Flock’s Camera Software, Revealing How the Company Tracks Cars and People

Hackers who removed a Flock Safety license plate camera dumped its data, revealing person-detection capabilities and an encryption key stored unencrypted on the device.

A hacker collective calling itself stegan0gram physically removed a Flock Safety automatic license plate reader camera from a roadway, copied its storage, and shared the files with 404 Media, WIRED, and Distributed Denial of Secrets. Analysis found an encryption key in an unencrypted 'media' partition that unlocked videos of thousands of vehicle detections, with logs showing more than a million images generated in weeks. The software explicitly detects people, bicycles, and even bumper stickers, and records from one Georgia city were searchable by more than 2,000 agencies nationwide. The findings follow 2025 research by Jon Gaines documenting flaws enabling root-level access to Flock cameras.

CVE-2026-82437: Apache Storm Logviewer: Log Access Controls Not Enforced by Logviewer

Apache Storm Logviewer ignores logs.users and logs.groups ACLs for daemon logs, letting unauthorized users read sensitive logs.

CVE-2026-82437 (severity: moderate) affects Apache Storm Logviewer (storm-webapp) versions 3.0.0 before 3.1.0. The Logviewer offers logs.users and logs.groups settings for operators to control who may read log content, but for daemon logs the access decision combined the "this is a daemon log" flag with the authorizer result in a way that discarded the authorizer's answer. As a result, configured access controls were not enforced and unauthorized users could read daemon log content.

Copyright scammers get Instagram accounts suspended and demand payment

Scammers file fake Instagram copyright complaints to suspend accounts, then demand ransom via Telegram; Meta restored some affected accounts.

Criminals impersonate rights holders to file fraudulent copyright complaints on Instagram, and repeated claims can trigger temporary account suspensions. They then move victims to Telegram and demand payment, often in cryptocurrency, to withdraw the complaint; one history account owner paid $50 and was targeted again immediately. Meta's automated system does not verify complainants before acting, and the Delhi High Court is examining whether platforms can legally suspend accounts over copyright claims. Meta acknowledged in court that 13 strike notices against one user were fraudulent, and after BBC review it restored affected content and added unspecified protections.

Scans Targeting Hospitality Applications, (Wed, Sep 16th)

Scans from a bulletproof-hosting IP target the abandoned PIAF-HMS hospitality application, which contains numerous unpatched SQL injection flaws.

SANS ISC observed requests for /PIAF-HMS/ using the unusual user-agent Farez-Sorter/1.0, along with paths like /admin/, /ucp/, /hms/, and /hotel/, starting September 15 from the single source IP 94.102.49.125 (IP Volume, AS202425, a bulletproof hoster). PIAF-HMS, a PBX in a Flash Hospitality Management System, was last updated 10 years ago and a SQL injection vulnerability was reported recently; the code shows many injection flaws and lacks authentication and access control. The handler notes hotels are soft targets for personal data theft and guest MitM attacks, and asks for community insight on the campaign.

Data Broker Radaris Loses Domains in Privacy Fight

A New Jersey court ordered people-search broker Radaris to transfer radaris.com and a dozen related domains to Atlas Data Privacy over Daniel's Law violations.

On August 26, a New Jersey judge found Radaris failed to defend claims that it violated Daniel's Law, which protects law enforcement officials' personal data and imposes $1,000 fines per ignored removal request. The court ordered radaris.com and more than a dozen related broker domains transferred to plaintiff Atlas Data Privacy Corp. Radaris had delayed litigation using offshore shell entities and previously used a fictitious CEO named 'Gary Norden' in investor-facing press releases.

AI helps scammers build convincing antivirus renewal pages

Malwarebytes found scammers using AI to build polished fake antivirus renewal pages impersonating Avast, harvesting names, emails and phone numbers for follow-up fraud calls.

Malwarebytes analyzed a fake Avast renewal site targeting Belgian users in French, claiming a €129.99 Avast Premium Security renewal and collecting name, email address and Belgian mobile number through a cancellation form. Leftover code comments written in polite French and other stylistic clues suggest the page was generated with AI assistance, and the form was never connected to send data anywhere. The scam typically progresses to phone calls pressuring victims to install remote access software, and AI substantially lowers the barrier for producing polished, localized scam pages at scale.
