Attackers exploit zero-days in consistently besieged SonicWall product

Two actively exploited SonicWall SMA 1000 zero-days chain to unauthenticated RCE; patches released and CISA added both to KEV.

SonicWall disclosed and patched two zero-days in SMA 1000 appliances: CVE-2026-83548, a maximum-severity pre-authentication SSRF, and CVE-2026-83549, a high-severity OS command injection. Rapid7 said chaining the flaws yields unauthenticated remote code execution, and CISA added both to its KEV catalog Wednesday. The vendor provided no IOCs or victim counts, urging customers to hunt for compromise, reimage or redeploy appliances, and reset all passwords and tokens. The product has faced repeated exploitation, including ransomware-linked flaws used by INC and Akira.

Dark Web Service Nexus Sells 153M+ Driver's Licenses

Dark web service Nexus offered 153M+ US and Canadian driver's license scans, traced to suspected IDScan.net breach; the FBI opened an investigation.

A dark web identity theft service called Nexus began offering searchable access to more than 153 million scanned US and Canadian driver's licenses, plus 10M+ ID cards, 3M+ travel documents, and 579,000+ medical cards. KrebsOnSecurity traced the records to New Orleans identity verification firm IDScan.net, whose clients include Hertz, Target, FedEx, Motorola Solutions, Caesars Entertainment, Jack Henry, and Planet13 dispensaries. The FBI's New Orleans field office opened a formal investigation, and Nexus went offline soon after the story broke. Operators claim exfiltration has been ongoing for over a year, with records growing by roughly 400,000 per day.

Cisco patches actively exploited email gateway zero-day (CVE-2026-76461)

Actively exploited zero-day SQL injection (CVE-2026-76461) in Cisco Secure Email Gateway allows unauthenticated root command execution; CISA ordered federal remediation by September 17.

Cisco confirmed attackers are exploiting zero-day CVE-2026-76461, an unauthenticated SQL injection in the email parsing logic of AsyncOS on Secure Email Gateway appliances (versions 16.5, 16.0, 15.5 and earlier) and Secure Email Cloud. Successful exploitation yields arbitrary SQL execution and root-level command execution on the underlying OS without user interaction. Cisco became aware of active exploitation in September 2025, has directly contacted affected cloud customers, and released fixed releases 15.5.5-014, 16.0.4-302, and 16.5.0-780. CISA added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog and required federal civilian agencies to patch by September 17 and hunt for compromise.

Critical Cisco Nexus 9000 Flaw Lets Unauthenticated Remote Attackers Run Code as Root

Cisco patches critical CVE-2026-20212 (CVSS 9.8) in Nexus 9000 switches allowing unauthenticated remote root code execution, plus IOS XR hardening release.

Cisco released fixes for CVE-2026-20212 (CVSS 9.8), a flaw in 10 Silicon One-based Nexus 9000 switch models that binds a service to an unrestricted IP, leaving TCP ports 43210/43211 reachable in the default Layer 3 VRF and allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to execute code as root; exploitation attempts can also crash the S1HAL process. 45 NX-OS releases (10.3(1) through 10.6(3s)) are affected, with mitigations including infrastructure ACLs, the Live Protect shield lp00031, and fixed releases identified via Cisco's Software Checker. Cisco simultaneously issued an IOS XR hardening release bundling 7 umbrella CVEs, two rated 9.8 (CVE-2026-20274 for memory-safety bugs and CVE-2026-20279 for access-control bugs), affecting all releases with SMUs available for 14 releases and upgrades required for 93 of 111 listed releases. No malicious exploitation was reported as of the September 2 disclosure.

Unpatched Magento and Adobe Commerce Zero-Day Exploited to Backdoor Online Stores

Sansec reports active exploitation of an unpatched zero-day, dubbed StyleSmuggler, in Magento and Adobe Commerce, letting attackers backdoor online store servers without authentication.

Sansec disclosed on September 5 that attackers are exploiting an unpatched vulnerability, named StyleSmuggler, in Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce to achieve unauthenticated remote code execution, with attacks observed starting September 4. All current versions including 2.4.9 are affected, and Adobe has published no advisory, CVE, patch, or workaround, with the next scheduled security release on September 8. Hosting firm Disrex Group independently confirmed two compromised stores (running 2.4.8 and 2.4.7-p2), both breached within the roughly eight-hour window before Sansec's blocking rules went live. The implant is a ~1.9 MB statically linked Rust binary disguised as a Linux kworker process, re-adding a cron entry every five minutes and in one case reading Magento sessions directly from Redis with no outbound traffic.
