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.

Chosen Brick, Iran’s Surveillance Malware

UK, US, and Dutch agencies warn Iranian CHOSEN BRICK malware targets dissidents and journalists via Telegram, harvesting contacts, emails, and messages since 2025.

The UK NCSC, FBI, and Dutch AIVD jointly attributed the CHOSEN BRICK Windows malware family to Iranian intelligence services, used since at least 2025 against dissidents, journalists, and activists worldwide, including in the UK, US, and Netherlands. Operators build rapport over WhatsApp or Telegram, impersonating known contacts or platform support, then deliver lures disguised as installers for Pictory, RunwayML, Norton Antivirus, Telegram, Adobe Flash Player, or KeePass, or fake MRI results. The malware persists via registry Run keys, adds Microsoft Defender exclusions, and uses per-victim Telegram bot IDs for C2, with newer versions adding HTTPS or SOCKS5 proxies. Some victims' data appeared on pro-Iranian leak sites, raising harassment and physical-safety risks.

Google Patches Pixel Modem Zero-Day Exploited in Targeted Attacks

Google patched Pixel modem zero-day CVE-2026-58704 (CVSS 8.0), exploited in limited targeted attacks, enabling adjacent privilege escalation without user interaction.

Google's September 2026 Pixel security update fixes CVE-2026-58704, a CVSS 8.0 permission bypass caused by a logic error in the cellular modem, allowing remote (proximal/adjacent) elevation of privilege with no user interaction or additional privileges. Google confirms indications of limited, targeted exploitation in the wild but provides no attribution, target count, or attack objectives. The modem location is significant because it operates below much of the Android application security model. The bulletin also patches multiple critical RCE flaws in IMS, libpixelimsmedia, VPU, modem, telephone and BigOcean components, with the 2026-09-05 patch level protecting devices.
