Thai Broadband Provider Hacked via Fortinet Vulnerability

Hackers exploited Fortinet CVE-2024-21762 RCE to breach Thai broadband provider 3BB, deploying MeshCentral backdoors and credential-harvesting tools across its network.

Hunt.io uncovered an intrusion staging directory in Thailand containing 298 files of custom tooling built for Triple T Broadband (3BB) and its former owner Jasmine. Initial access came via fingerprinting a FortiGate SSL-VPN appliance and exploiting CVE-2024-21762 for remote code execution, after probing CVE-2018-13379, CVE-2022-42475, and CVE-2023-27997. The actor also probed F5 BIG-IP for CVE-2021-22986, CVE-2022-1388, and CVE-2023-46747, escalated privileges with PwnKit and Dirty COW, used MeshCentral as a C2 backdoor, harvested SSH/database/SNMP/Radius credentials, deployed PHP web shells, and ran cleanup scripts to hide the intrusion.

PostgreSQL Hit by 12-Year-Old Vulnerability Allowing Server Takeover

PostgreSQL flaw CVE-2026-6471, present since 2014, lets low-privilege replication accounts execute code and take over database servers; patches released.

Cyera researchers disclosed PostGREShell (CVE-2026-6471, CVSS 7.2), a missing-authorization bug in PostgreSQL logical decoding that lets users with REPLICATION privilege dlopen arbitrary files and execute code as the server account. The flaw affects PostgreSQL 9.4 through 18 and can yield privilege escalation, permanent superuser access and persistent backdoors on Windows, Linux and macOS. Fixes are available in versions 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19 and 14.24. Defenders should update and remove unnecessary Replication privileges.
