CISA added actively exploited CVE-2026-21962, a CVSS 10.0 unauthenticated flaw in Oracle HTTP Server and WebLogic Proxy Plug-in, to KEV with an August 27 deadline.

CISA added CVE-2026-21962 (CVSS 10.0), an improper access control vulnerability in Oracle HTTP Server and the Oracle WebLogic Server Proxy Plug-in, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog and ordered federal agencies to remediate by August 27, 2026. The unauthenticated flaw allows remote attackers with network access to create, delete, or modify critical data, potentially gain broad access, and cause a scope change to other systems; affected versions are 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.1.0.0 and 14.1.2.0.0. CloudSEK honeypot data from January-February 2026 showed widespread exploitation of the flaw alongside older WebLogic RCEs including CVE-2020-14882/14883, CVE-2020-2551, and CVE-2017-10271.

Muhstik Botnet Attacks Tomato Routers to Harvest New IoT Devices

Unit 42 found a Muhstik botnet variant brute-forcing Tomato router web authentication to harvest IoT devices for crypto mining and DDoS attacks.

Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 researchers in December 2019 identified a new Muhstik botnet variant scanning Tomato routers on TCP 8080 and brute-forcing default admin credentials, targeting roughly 4,600 exposed devices found via Shodan. The variant also scans WordPress and Webuzo installations and exploits the Oracle WebLogic deserialization flaw CVE-2019-2725 for unauthenticated remote code execution. Muhstik, active since March 2018, self-propagates like a worm and typically monetizes infections through cryptocurrency mining and DDoS attacks controlled via an IRC C2 channel.
