Active exploitation of Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center vulnerabilities
Cisco Talos reports in-the-wild exploitation of critical FMC flaw CVE-2026-20079 by three clusters including a Sandworm-linked APT and Qilin ransomware affiliates.
Cisco Talos is tracking active exploitation of CVE-2026-20079 (CVSS 10.0), an authentication bypass in Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center that lets unauthenticated remote attackers execute scripts and obtain root access, and CVE-2026-20316 (CVSS 5.3), which permits low-privileged logins and can be chained for privilege escalation. Talos identified three post-compromise clusters: UAT-12197 deploying JSP web shells and a JAR command executor for credential theft; UAT-11823, an APT overlapping with Sandworm, deploying a Netcat reverse shell and Cyclops Blink malware; and UAT-11988, assessed as a ransomware operator with TTPs consistent with Qilin affiliates. Hotfixes are available, with a comprehensive hardening release due the week of September 14, 2026.

Latvian officials resign after cyberattack exposes data on 1.2 million people
Latvia's road traffic agency CSDD confirmed a breach exposing data on 1.2 million people and 200,000 businesses, prompting leadership resignations.
Latvia's Road Traffic Safety Directorate (CSDD) said hackers accessed payment receipt data dating back to 2008, covering over 1.2 million people and 200,000 legal entities, about two-thirds of Latvia's population. Stolen data includes personal ID numbers, license plates, payment amounts and addresses; phone numbers, emails and passwords were not affected. CERT.LV said attackers exploited a vulnerability in an internet-exposed CSDD system, and President Edgars Rinkevics called the breach a significant national security threat. The supervisory board resigned and chief Aivars Aksenoks said he will leave; state police opened criminal proceedings while responsibility with IT contractor Tet is disputed.
