KindaRails2Shell threatens Ruby on Rails apps (CVE-2026-66066)

Critical CVE-2026-66066 in Rails' Active Storage/libvips allows unauthenticated arbitrary file read and possible RCE; active exploitation now observed.

CVE-2026-66066 (KindaRails2Shell), discovered by Ethiack researchers and independently by RyotaK of GMO Flatt Security, lets attackers upload crafted files that exploit libvips' handling of specialty formats to read arbitrary files, including process environment secrets, potentially escalating to RCE. Default Rails 7.0+ setups using Active Storage with the vips processor are affected before versions 7.2.3.2, 8.0.5.1, and 8.1.3.1; fixes shipped July 29, 2026, with VIPS_BLOCK_UNTRUSTED as a partial mitigation. Proof-of-concept exploits circulated after disclosure, and VulnCheck updated that it observed active exploitation originating from a single French IP establishing C2 to a host in Israel. Akamai deployed WAF rules, but experts stress patching and credential rotation over filtering alone.

Microsoft patches critical Entra ID vulnerability (CVE-2026-69836)

Microsoft patched critical Entra ID RCE CVE-2026-69836 (CVSS 10.0), fully mitigated server-side with no customer action; no in-the-wild exploitation confirmed.

Microsoft patched CVE-2026-69836, a critical (maximum CVSS 10.0) unauthenticated remote code execution flaw in Entra ID caused by deserialization of untrusted data over a network. Entra ID, formerly Azure Active Directory, is Microsoft's cloud identity service verifying logins and controlling access to Microsoft 365, Azure, and connected third-party apps. The flaw was discovered by Microsoft Principal Security Engineer Robert Fitzpatrick and fully mitigated server-side, requiring no customer action. Microsoft initially reported the bug as exploited, but later changed the status to 'no' and confirmed the vulnerability was not exploited in the wild.

Passkey-themed social engineering leads to identity and cloud compromise

Microsoft tracks ongoing cloud intrusions where passkey-themed helpdesk lures enable AiTM credential theft, MFA persistence, and SharePoint data theft.

Microsoft Security Research is tracking active cloud-based intrusions, observed since May 2026, that begin with helpdesk impersonation calls and SMS lures urging urgent passkey, MFA, or SSO updates. The lures lead to adversary-in-the-middle phishing or device-code authentication flows that capture credentials and session tokens or grant actor access, after which the actors add authentication methods, conduct Microsoft Graph reconnaissance, and download SharePoint and OneDrive content via REST APIs. Phishing domains embed victim organization names as subdomains (e.g., contoso.add-passkey[.]com), are often registered with Nicenic, and go operational within hours. Microsoft advises revoking sessions and removing unauthorized authentication methods for confirmed compromises.
